Is Christ a Man? What Did Christ Say About Himself?

Question: IS CHRIST A MAN? WHAT DID CHRIST SAY ABOUT HIMSELF?

Answer:  John 8:39-40 (Douay-Rehims)

They answered, and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham.
But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not.

Reflection on John 8:39-40


Christ Himself said that He is a man. When He said "He is a man," it is the truth, and this truth is attested to not only by Christ Himself but by God too, because according to Christ what he said is what Heard from God.

But what about those who said that Christ is a true God and true man? Well, from this verse, it is already clear that Christ introduced Himself as a  man "have spoken the truth which he heard of God." He did not say that He is a man and that what he had spoken is the one he heard of Himself.
