Jesus, the tent?

Bro. Marlon,

You neglect the fact, however, that the Word *became* flesh.  Certainly,
Jesus Christ was the Tabernacle of the Invisible God made visible.  But He,
the man Christ Jesus, was God not just an impersonal, separate *tool* of
God.

Otherwise, Jesus Christ is not God at all but a mere man who was possessed
by the Holy Spirit.

Blessings.

Matthew
