With an analogy that does not fit or work.

The analogy is what it is and it is a sufficient answer.

You are not saying it, but there's no other way for me to take it. If GOD was manifested in flesh, then ALL of Him was. He did not leave His fatherhood or holiness at home.

THIS, more than anything else, is what annoys me about some people here. STOP READING THINGS INTO WHAT I POST!!!!!!!!!!! You are to take my posts exactly as written; I said what I said and didn't say anything other than what I said. Don't give me this "there's no other way for me to take it" nonsense. Read the words and stop trying to read the blank spaces between them.

So, Jesus Christ is the "person/being" of God?
|
Jesus Christ is God's only begotten Son.

But, you said that YHVH was the name of God, didn't you? If that is so, can't I insert that proper name anywhere I see the title "God"?
|
Only where the Hebrew text of the Old Testament does it.

So when John states that "the logos was God", he really didn't mean that?
|
John didn't say "the logos was God." He wrote his gospel in Greek. You are relying on the words of an English translation that are not necessarily accurate. Jesus' divinity is God's divinity and not some other divinity (not that there is any other divinity). Again, "
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."
Quote:
John 1:14 (NIV, NASB, AMP, NKJV)
And the Word became flesh...
Is that what you're looking for?

No, I want you to show me what YOU CLAIMED the passage said! You said that His
name was clearly stated in
John 1 where John said that the Word became flesh. (The exact quote: "
John 1 clearly tells us the name of the
logos when He was manifested in flesh.") Go to that passage (
John 1:14) and show me where it says what you claim it says.
