Luke 1:68; 7:16 – God Visited His People

{Luke 1:68} “Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, for he has looked upon and prepared deliverance for his people; {Luke 1:69} and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David . — Restoration Light Improved Version. {Luke 7:16} Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has looked upon his people!” —  Restoration Light Improved Version .

Then according the reasoning, God who is the Word in John 1:1 was made, or became, flesh. Many often say that God became flesh without realizing their own self-contradiction. If God Almighty made God Almighty flesh and took the name Jesus, then Jesus would not have been a man, but his flesh would be God Almighty. The scripture has to be changed to suit the hypostatic union or dual natures of Jesus dogma, since these would have it that Jesus' flesh is not God, but that his flesh is the human being Jesus, nor their alleged Supreme Being Jesus. To satisfy the dogma that Jesus exists on two levels of being at once, the claim is made that the Supreme Being Jesus "took" the flesh so as become the human being Jesus while at the same time remaining ...
