Is Jesus the Christ a human Person?

[TOTHALORDBEALLGLORY]

Neglecting context-as usual.

Isaiah 28:15 is a rebuke directed at the leaders of Judah, particularly in Jerusalem, who placed their trust in falsehood rather than in God. The verse is part of a broader passage (Isaiah 28:14–22) where the prophet condemns their arrogance, deception, and misplaced security.

Verse Breakdown:
"Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement"

This phrase signifies Judah’s political and spiritual rebellion, where they sought protection through alliances (possibly Egypt, Isaiah 30:1-3) rather than trusting in Yahweh.
The metaphor of a "covenant with death" indicates a false sense of security, believing they could escape divine judgment through human means.
"Hell" (שְׁאוֹל, Sheol) represents the realm of the dead, meaning they aligned themselves with destruction rather than with life in God.
"When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us"

The “overflowing scourge” represents impending judgment, possibly the Assyrian invasion (Isaiah 8:7–8).
The leaders falsely assumed that their political alliances or deceitful schemes would shield them from disaster.
"For we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves"

Their supposed security was built on deception—whether it was reliance on foreign powers, religious hypocrisy, or corrupt leadership.
The contrast between truth (God’s Word, Isaiah 28:16) and lies (human schemes) highlights their spiritual blindness.
Recipients and Historical Context:

Primary Audience: The rulers and leaders of Judah, particularly in Jerusalem, who rejected Isaiah’s warnings.

Historical Background: The late 8th century B.C., when the Assyrian Empire was expanding, threatening both Israel (Northern Kingdom) and Judah (Southern Kingdom).
Fulfillment: Judah’s trust in foreign alliances failed, leading to the Babylonian exile (586 B.C.), though a near-term judgment came through the Assyrian attack under Sennacherib (701 B.C.).
Messianic Contrast: Isaiah 28:16 follows with the prophecy of the "cornerstone," referring to Christ (1 Peter 2:6-8), the true refuge in contrast to their lies.

Cross-References:
+ Isaiah 30:1-3 – Judah’s false trust in Egypt instead of God.
+ Isaiah 8:7-8 – The Assyrian flood as divine judgment.
+ 1 Peter 2:6-8 – Christ as the true cornerstone and refuge.
+ Matthew 21:42-44 – Jesus contrasts Himself with the rejected stone.

J.

all them nar prophets and the liberal realm of christendom have all put their trust
into a covenant of death . much sin is being celebrated and honored
and now the decieved of Christendom merge with even the false religoins
And the leaders have lied , saying we all serveth the same God in different ways .
And they cry to the peoples of all tribes come and enter into our lie and by this we shall attain world peace n safety .
YES johann these leaders DO cause this people to err and hold now the banner of inclusivity , diversity
OH its happening all right . Only most want to call it love and loving .

“I asked that question of so many of my friends recently, and almost all, save for only one, gave me the wrong answer. Some even became indignant for my even asking the question. Why they became indignant, I have no clue. Nevertheless it is an important question about the person of Jesus the Christ.

1. Is Jesus the Christ a human person?
2. Is Jesus the Christ a Divine person?
3. Is He both?
4. Is He neither?

What answer do you have for each of those four simple questions? … “

1. Is Jesus the Christ a human person? Indeed he was made in all point like as we are, yet separate from sinners. He came in the likeness of sinful flesh. He was indeed a male child born to Mary and his supposed father, Joseph.

Hebrews 4:15~"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."

2. Is Jesus the Christ a Divine person? The Word which from the beginning, that was God, was manifest in the flesh~ John 1:1,14; 1st Timothy 3:16 etc. So, Jesus Christ was a complex person, fully God, and fully man.

#3, 4 are already answered by 1, and 2.
