1 Timothy 2 5 - The Man Jesus -- Still a Man?
Did Paul say that Jesus is still a human being of flesh, as many claim?

Excerpts from the study:
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. -- 1 Timothy 2:5, World English.
The above is often quoted by many trinitarians, unitarians as well as some oneness believers in an effort to prove that Jesus is still, today, "the man Christ Jesus." Actually, this is done by stopping the quote at the end of the verse, and taking the quote out of its context, since the apostle Paul is actually saying: "the man, Christ Jesus who gave himself a ransom [offsetting price] for all. -- 2 Timothy 2:5,6.
***
The man, Jesus, did indeed give himself as an offsetting price to pay the price of sin in Adam. (1 Corinthians 15:21,22; Romans 5:15-19) It is only because he, as a human, did give himself as that offsetting price that he is now exalted above the angels, and is no longer a human being, a little lower than the angels. (Psalm 9:5; Hebrews 1:4; 2:9; 1 Peter 3:22)
***
Jesus is today no longer a human being; he was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit. He sacrificed his flesh (John 6:51), his blood (Matthew 26:28) representing his human soul (Deuteronomy 12:23 -- consisting of body of dust and the spirit of life from God -- Genesis 2:7), his human body (Hebrews 10:10), once for all time for sin. As a human being, he is indeed dead forever, else there has been no sacrifice, there has been no price paid for sin. (1 Timothy 2:5,6) The whole basis of the ransom sacrifice as given in the Bible depends on this redemption. -- Romans 5:1-19; 1 Corinthians 15:21,22.
