There are a many number of verses that mean Jesus isn't God in the flesh. Just one of the best ones is 1 Timothy 3:16, but there is also Philippians 2:7:Here we go again!
Any verse of scripture that opposes my little petty “pet” doctrine ain’t sacred scripture or the word of God!
1 Jn 5:7
1 tim 3:16
Not to mention Mk 16:16 and Matt 28;19!!!
Classic!
7but emptied Himself,
taking the form of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
Many famous Trinitarian commentators say that what Jesus emptied himself of was some or all of his divine power, rights, and/or passions. That would mean he isn't God in the flesh.
Even after being taken to heaven, people kept calling him a man. If the early Christian on Jesus was that he was either God in the flesh, or later became God again after being resurrected then calling God a man would man would be an ear short of blasphemy. Case in point, when you pray do you call God a man or do you call God as God? No Christian I have ever spoken to prays addressing a man, yet not only did they keep on calling Jesus a man after he went to heaven, no one even prayed to him. Praying to Jesus and worshipping Jesus isn't a Biblical doctrine. No one ever taught any such things, no commandment by God to do such, etc.
1 Timothy 2
5For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
