My Christology and Theology proper

I subscribe and adhere the Shema of Israel, that Yahweh, my God is only ONE. He is One in person, in glory and worthy to receive ultimate worship.

Jesus Christ was prior to his Incarnation a personal entity called the Wisdom and the Word. He was not an angel (in particular sense) and neither was he the God Almighty. Jesus was first-born, begotten Son of God.
He was begotten again in the womb of virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit (which I believe is the power of God - when referred as person, He is the very person of Unipersonal Yahweh).
When Jesus walked on earth, he did not only appear to be a man, but was a man - he was a 100 % man - only without sin like Adam before he fell. Jesus had his "previous life" in Divine Dimension, but abandoned it and took the form of a servant, the very form and nature of the man, thus being the Son of (Hu)man and the antilutron or the corresponding price of ransom for all of humanity."

Let me clear the picture of my view on Jesus Christ more:

- I do not believe that preincarnate Christ was the God Yahweh

- Pre-existent Christ is a creature, but different kind a creature than anyone else, because all other things are created thru (not "by") him. (John 1. , Col. 1.)

- Christ was the Logos and also called the Wisdom - but this does not mean that Christ as a Wisdom is the Wisdom of God, as a part of God and his quality, but rather a name or term. (Prov.8.)

- Bible tells that there are many 'gods' and lords [or those who are called as such] (this very term used in 1.Cor.8:4-6) and even people are called gods. Pre-incarnate Christ was El Gibbor, "a mighty god", i.e divine creature.

- There is only One Yahweh. He is the only source of energy and life force. His is the Holy Spirit. He is the only El Elyon. He is only who lives without beginning, providing all things to all others (including his Son).

- What Jesus was prior to his birth to earth as a fully human? He was the Son of God, firstborn of creation! Lord of the angels, not "an angel", but "the Angel of Yahweh", who moved before the House of Israel in the wilderness.

- From the Bible I recognize that many a creature are called "gods", but no one else is called Yahweh, the only true God. This Unipersonal God of Israel I worship."
