 The flesh was *not* God and God was *not* flesh. 
 God (the Spirit) was *in* Christ(that Holy thing born of a woman)
 reconciling
the world unto himself  (2 Cor.5:19) 
  This is God manifest in the flesh (1Tim 3:16) the mystery of the
  godliness.

I write:
He is the visible image of the invisible God, Jesus Christ is both 
God and man, 100% human but without sin, and 100% God, not a part of 
God or a third of God,etc.  Romans 9:5 is clear "Whose are the 
fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over 
all, God blessed for ever. Amen."  Christ is here God over all, 100% 
God yet as concerning the flesh, that is the humanity, Christ came.  
Christ is both God and man according to this text.  Humanity died, 
not divinity, we need to realize the dual nature He had from the day 
that Sonship became a reality.  He is not eternal Son, He is the 
eternal God, the creator, the saviour, etc.
