The same as it was throughout the Old Testament.

I quit analogizing God a while back.

You asked a question and I answered it.

How can God only manifest certain parts of Himself (not His fatherhood) when scripture says "GOD was manifest in flesh"? Aren't you reading an interpretation into that belief?
|
I'm not the one who said God manifests only certain parts of Himself. Go back to where I specifically said it was GOD that was manifest in the flesh and not His fatherhood, His holiness, etc. In other words, it was the person/being of God that was revealed and not merely some role or attribute.

Cool. So, where scripture says "God" we can always insert YHVH, right?
|
Actually, where the scripture says LORD in all capital letters we can always insert YHVH.

I don't know about others, but if the Word became flesh and God was manifest in flesh and the Word was God, isn't it plausible to assume that "God became flesh"?
|
God was REVEALED (manifest) in the flesh. The logos became flesh. The logos was divine but the logos is not God in all His fullness. The best way to understand the logos is to understand what the Jews referred to as the memra or revealed essence of God. This revealed essence is not all of God that there is, it's just the part of God that we can know.

Hmmmm? Isn't the Messiah God?

The Messiah is God's "only begotten Son."

What was the name of the One who was made flesh, whose glory they beheld?

Why are you asking me? You said that it was clearly stated in
John 1 where John said that the Word became flesh. Go to that passage (
John 1:14) and show me where it says what you claim it says.
