John 1:15
**John 1:15 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<15> John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. ```
John 1:7
**John 1:7 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<7> The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. ```
he had to bear WITNESS of the Word becoming flesh
the BAPTISM is the Word becoming flesh
when the SPIRIT went into Jesus
this isn't to do with any incarnation
incarnation is unbiblical
The Spirit was already in him when he was born. The spirit dwelt on him after baptism.
he was baptized and received the Spirit
John had the Spirit since the womb.
John the Baptist
the Bible says at a young age Jesus was developing wisdom and favor with God
God needed to gain his own favor
🤔
John kicked in his mother’s womb when Jesus was near in Mary’s. John knew even as an infant God was near.
Luke 2:52
**Luke 2:52 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<52> And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. ```
John did not witness the virgin birth.
How else would you expect God’s word that became flesh to grow?
Jesus is a man that fulfilled God's promise to David and to Abraham
you don't just read John and throw the other 3 books in the trash
John 1:32
**John 1:32 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<32> And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. ```
Abode upon him. Because the spirit was already in him.
he says this twice in John 1
the other Gospels clarify
the Spirit is supposed to be IN him, how does it descend if it was in him?
the Bible says the fullness of the Godhead was in Jesus Bodily
John 3:13
**John 3:13 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<13> And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. ```
did you read the whole context of the chapter?
or did you post 1 verse that fits your doctine not in context
John 3:6
**John 3:6 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<6> That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. ```
John 3:12
**John 3:12 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<12> If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? ```
try using Luke, Mark, or MAtthew
try not using John
