Why I don't believe that God could be incarnated in a man (Jesus, Earth)

[Ori]

It's pretty simple really, the body is subject to decay and eventually succumbs to old age.

So how could a God who is infinite, omnipotent, and beyond the laws of time become one of us?

I don't believe God could.

Of course the body decays; but the body is only a 'vehicle' for the Soul. The Soul is the real you; your body |(in this incarnation) is merely a way for you to interface with other humans, and to get around.

I don't believe God Did he remained in "Heaven"
Jesus was the Son of God.
Jesus came from God and returned to God.
Whilst he was on Earth He was all Man
A man like no other, true.
The things he taught The things he did were through the power and word of God.
when he called on God, the power of God was with in him.

Very simple: "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

Are you talking about the same God Jesus prayed to while He was here on earth, or are you talking about the God/man, Jesus?

Here's how I see it: God was in Heaven, and He sent His Son to earth like the way a person sends their voice to aid someone in need.

Then the two would not be "one" in a physical sense. They would be physically separate and distinct from each other, but "one" in some other way. Am I understanding you correctly?

What do you mean by "physical" sense? Well, God is a non-corporeal being.

Well, Jesus was God and He was most definitely a corporeal being who walked the Earth, and who referred to His Father as being in Heaven. Since you believe the Father -- who himself remained in Heaven but sent the Son to Earth -- was a non-corporeal being, in what sense do you see them as being "one"? I ask this because I believe it ties in closely with the OP. I don't believe the OP can be answered without first resolving this issue.

Since God is a non-corporeal being, the issue of place would have no meaning for Him to need to exist. He could send Himself to earth while staying in heaven.
