Since Jesus had a beginning (Begotten by God), it is not plausible that Jesus made the world Himself, or that He was God on earth. We know that God created all things for himself, so I wish to stay true to this thought, and reason these p***ages out, while staying true to scripture.

Luk 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. (Luke 2:4o)

and also in Luke 2:52....

Luk 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

It is quite evident that God granted to Jesus His grace, and that He (Jesus) increased in His favor. It makes no sense if Jesus was God the son. God the son is NEVER mentioned in scripture. You have to do a great deal of manipulating scripture to view Jesus as God [imo].

According to Luke Jesus was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. Here we have one account of Him being filled with truth in .... Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. ....and another account of Him being filled with wisdom, growing strong in the Spirit (In Luke).

God's truth, and God's wisdom, and God's spirit are one and the same. Luke 2:40 suggested that Christ became strong in spirit. 1 John 5 states that the spirit is truth, i.e Wisdom

Christ was conceived by the Spirit, begotten by God, and born of Mary - He was filled with the Spirit, through which all truth emanates. He was filled with God's wisdom, truth, and power.

Logo's is the Greek term for "Word". According to Greek terminology, Logo's means "Divine Expression", or perhaps more appropriately, God's divine Wisdom, and power.

"God's wisdom, and power was in the beginning with God, and it was God. Christ declared this Wisdom, and power during His ministry, meaning He revealed it to us. He revealed to us the Father that dwelt in him."

God's Wisdom was manifest in Christ as the "Word" of God. He became the light for all mankind. He was, and is the light, but He was not the [literal] Word, but rather the "Word" was made to manifest within Him. (It was made evident)

Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth [came] by Jesus Christ.
Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him

These scriptures suggests to me that Jesus was a vessel for the Word of God, and not God Himself. Christ was the appointed vessel, and light that enlightens every man that comes into the world. God expressed, conveyed, and made known to us His Word through Him, which is the love, wisdom, and divine expression of our Creator. Christ was the pen; He was the instrument that God filled with His "Truth". Christ [was] the light on earth ~ Not God on earth. (At least not in literal terms)
