Izaija 53:3

 

3 Prezren bješe, odbačen od ljudi, čovjek boli, vičan patnjama, od kog svatko lice otklanja, prezren bješe, odvrgnut.

נִבְזֶה וַחֲדַל אִישִׁים אִישׁ מַכְאֹבוֹת וִידוּעַ חֹלִי וּכְמַסְתֵּר פָּנִים מִמֶּנּוּ נִבְזֶה וְלֹא חֲשַׁבְנֻהוּ

Nivzeh vahadal išim, iš mahovovt vidua holi uhemaster panim mim·men·nu, nivzeh velo hašavnuhu.

 

 

 

Isaiah 53:3 - Proof that Jesus IS "fully man"?

He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we didn't respect him. -- Isaiah 53:3, World English.

 

This scripture is often quoted to support the idea that Jesus has "dual natures" or that Jesus is a human being while at the same it is claimed that Jesus is the Most High Yahweh. Thus, the scripture is used to support the "hypostatic union" dogma, that is, that Jesus is fully the Most High and that he is fully man. This scripture is thus quoted to show that Jesus is "fully man".

The prophecy, however continues:

Surely he has borne our infirmities, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, struck of God, and afflicted. -- Isaiah 53:4, World English.

Paul wrote that Jesus "died for our sins, according to the scriptures". (1 Corinthians 15:3) And Paul wrote: "Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more." (Romans 6:9) Is Jesus still a man bearing our infirmities to this day? No.

The prophecy next states:

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed.-- Isaiah 53:5, World English

And Isaiah 53:12 relates:

He poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. -- World English.

Is Jesus to this day still a human, being bruised for our iniquities? Is he still pouring out his soul in death? NO!

Jesus was [past tense] indeed fully man while he was in the days of his flesh (Hebrews 5:7), although, unlike mankind in general who have been condemned in Adam (Romans 5:12-19), Jesus was without sin. (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:22) 

The very purpose that Jesus became flesh was to suffer as though a sinner and to offer up his sinless flesh for mankind. Having done this once, he has no need to do it again. (Hebrews 9:28; 10:10; 1 Peter 3:18) Indeed, having suffered "once" for sin, there now is no more sacrifice for sin, and thus, no need for him to be human. -- Hebrews 10:26; 1 Peter 3:18.

What we do not find in Isaiah 53:3, or anywhere else in the Bible, is the idea that Jesus is still a human being to this day, and we do not find anywhere in the Bible that Jesus is, or ever was, the Most High at all.
