This brings me back to one of my continual points. We should not use scripture to support any doctrine when we do not totally understand that scripture. I think any reasonable person can understand why doing such a thing is a bad idea. What do you think?

Being justified does not having to mean being wrong or thought wrong then declared justified by someone else. As I pointed out the term means "vindicated or shown to be righteous"
He, as a man, did not follow the immoral path of a man. He obeyed God in all respects even to the point of dying on the cross
For example
Luk 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord.
Jesus had faith like no other man, in God, by the deeds He did. He obeyed God like no other even when it came to His own life.
As for this verse, what is not to understand?
God was....God was what? manifest or revealed in the flesh. God was seen of angels. God was taken up into glory. Even if you don't understand the justified part, if this is about God it is clearly speaking of the incarnation. Who was taken up into glory? Jesus in
Acts 1
