No debate here

1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.

There is no debate here, at least since the Council of Nicea in A.D. 325.  God was manifested in the flesh.  Jesus Christ was God incarnate.  “Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father.”

The Council of Nicea did not invent a new narrative concerning Christ.  It merely affirmed what had always been proclaimed in all the churches from the time of the apostles.
