42) Is God Flesh? A better way to understand John 1:14 (part 2)

We continue our discussion of what John 1:14 "the Word became flesh" really means.

-

As described in earlier podcasts (#39 and #41) "the Word became flesh" does not mean that God became man/flesh.

-

So, what does the "Word became flesh mean? 

-

Why does John use the word "flesh"?

-

How has the Greek philosophical concept popularized by Plato, that the soul lives separately from the body of flesh, influenced Christian interpretation of John 1:14? Does the Bible say that man's soul is alive separate from his body of flesh?

-

What is the biblical view of flesh? How is flesh alive? Can the God of the Bible ever be flesh?
