No offense but if Jesus Christ is back in His glorified state ,how can He have a birthday ? But we do know God manifest Himself in human flesh ,and made a sacrifice for our justification ,by His shed blood.

I think for most of us, we look at it as the initial birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. We are not celebrating his 12th birthday, or his 25th birthday, or even his 2000th birthday. We are celebrating the initial day that the Son of Righteousness was born into this earth with healing in his wings. It was the day that angels rejoiced and proclaimed "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.", and signs where manifested in the heavens. The Prophets had prophesied, and the Messiah was born. The redeeming lamb had finally come.

This is worth shouting about!

I was meaning pre-glorification when I stated that there was an ending of the humanity of Christ. Not that I am even good enough to call myself a student on this too much, but would you state that Jesus has continued in a state of humanity after his glorification?


I have my learning hat on and am sitting down.

Elder Strange what I mean Jesus Christ is back in His heavenly state you know after the ascension, He is in a Spiritual or incorruptible body now.
How can we have a birthday to His Sonship since Christ doesn't age.
But we can celebrate everyday the fact, t that God became flesh through the virgin birth, and only through His shed blood can we have redemption.

Whatever date Christ was born on ,we can rejoice in the fact He came and shed His blood.

I have seen others propose that Jesus reigns in Heaven in the same glorified body that rose from the dead; the same kind of glorified body we will have someday.

I agree with that assumption, too. But would we call that humanity or deity? I see his humanity as ending at his ascension or maybe even at his resurrection.

Here is a question if we have a immortal body in heaven is it really the same body we have here on earth ,since our fleshy body is corruptible?
Even if looks the same let's say it is really the same since one is corruptible and one is incorruptible?
