in the supposed son of Mary, He cannot be a mediator between God the Father and sinners. For He could only represent himself. Only a sinless man that can shed blood could be the mediator, the kinsman redeemer,( Romans 8;29-30;Genesis 1:27) the sacrifice of atonement, the one to be buried, and resurrected for the remission of sins and resurrection of the dead. Following Trinitarian logic, if there are three divine persons in the titles of God the Father, God the Son; and God the Holy Ghost, they must have three media tors and three incarnations to reconcile the world with themselves. This carmot be true, for the Bible proclaims: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (I Timothy 2:5). Christ is specifically the one in whom dwells "all the fullness of the GodHead bodily" (Colossians 1:19-20; 2:9).
Isaiah 40:3-11 depicts Jesus Christ incarnate: "The voice of him that cri- eth in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God..And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it...The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever...O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, behold your God! Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him and his work before him. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young." (Jeremiah 25:30) Bible students must know and believe that only God can forgive sin. Isaiah 45:21-22 declares, ...there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else".
Specifically the mediator has to be the manifestation of God the father, the creator, the lawgiver, the one against whom the human race has sinned from the beginning. As it is declared in Isaiah 40 and repeated in 1 Peter
1:23-25; the man who is created from the dust of the ground who has his own independent human spirit is as the grass of the ground that withers and fades away when the Spirit of the Lord blows upon it. The good tidings of the Lord towards mankind say, "behold your God, behold the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs wi'h his arm and carry them in his bosom and shall gently lead with those that are young" (Isaiah 40:10,11). The above passage was interpreted by the apostle Peter.
"Being bom again not of corruptible seed (Adamic nature) but of incor ruptible, by the word of God (Christ) which liveth and abideth forever." (I Peter 1:23)
