God MADE Jesus PERFECT Through Suffering!
***What Does Ephesians 4:13 TRULY mean?
Here is Ephesians 4:13 from the KJV. “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:”
Does Ephesians 4:13 PROVE that God’s Son BECAME DEITY?
In other words, does the WHOLE word of Almighty God teach that the FULLNESS of that Godhead began dwelling in Jesus AFTER the cross and resurrection?
To say this another way, WHEN does that Bible ITSELF teach us that God gave His Spirit to the Son of MAN, Jesus, WITHOUT MEASURE?
Was it at the Virgin birth?
Was it at his baptism by John the Baptist?
Was it after the cross and resurrection?
Let us find out what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY!

What Does Ephesians Mean in the LIGHT of God’s Word?
What does Ephesians 4:13 TRULY mean in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
Church TRADITION teaches that, SINCE John 1:1 says that the Word was GOD, and John 1:14 says the Word was made flesh, then, the THEM, that PROVES that God HIMSELF BECAME flesh.
But, to me, that INTERPRETATION contradicts so many other verses of Scripture that I can no longer believe the man-made doctrine of the Trinity.
Also, to me, the Oneness Pentecostal doctrine that teaches the Son of God is one and the self-same BEING as Almighty God the Father, makes no sense whatsoever.
Let us begin this Verse Study on Ephesians 4:13 by reading it from the King James Version of the Bible.
Here is Ephesians 4:13 from the KJV.
“Till we all come in the UNITY of THE FAITH, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the FULNESS of Christ:”
Again, church TRADITION interprets Ephesian 4:13 to mean until we become MATURE like Jesus.
Let us read this verse from the Holman Christian Standard Bible.
Here is Ephesians 4:13 from the Holman Christian Standard Bible.
“Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, [growing] into a mature man with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness.”
Let us read one more church TRADITION translation so you can see how Trinitarian Christians INTERPRET Ephesians 4:13.
Here is Ephesians 4:13 from the New International Version.
“Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
You can see how church tradition INTERPRETS Ephesians 4:13 from reading the different MODERN TRANSLATIONS of the Bible that were published after the King James Version of the Bible.
Notice that the KJV translates the Greek word “teleios” as unto a PERFECT MAN, which means the COMPLETE MAN.
But the modern versions of the Bible translate the Greek word “teleios” as unto a MATURE MAN, referring to us as Christians.
Now, to me, the REASON that the modern translations to NOT translate the Greek word “teleios” as unto a PERFECT MAN, which means COMPLETE MAN, is that they would NOT be able to SLANT the meaning of Ephesians 4:13 to refer to us as Christians being made PERFECT.
For you see, we are not made PERFECT or COMPLETE until the COMING of Jesus.
And the REASON Paul is teaching this passage of Scripture in the first place is so THAT we will NOT be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine that DECEIVES Christians from coming to the knowledge of the TRUE Jesus.
Please read Ephesians 3:13,14 TOGETHER.
“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Ephesians 4:14. THAT (Or so THAT) we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;”
Do you see WHY the modern translations do NOT translate the Greek word “teleios” as unto a PERFECT MAN, which means COMPLETE MAN.
In other words, the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God comes at the RESURRECTION, according to Romans 8:19 and Romans 1:3,4.
It is because Satan does NOT want Christians to SEE that Ephesians 4:13 is referring to the Son of MAN, Jesus, coming unto a PERFECT MAN into the FULLNESS of the DEITY dwelling in him after the cross and resurrection.
For you see, Hebrews 2:10 teaches us that Almighty God the Father made the Captain of our salvation PERFECT through SUFFERINGS.
Hebrews 2:10,11.
“For it became Him, (Speaking of it becomes Almighty God the Father) for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto GLORY, to make the CAPTAIN of their salvation PERFECT through sufferings. (And all Christians agree that Jesus is the CAPTAIN of our salvation)
Hebrews 2:11. For both he that sanctifies and they WHO are sanctified are all of ONE: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,”
And Jesus clearly teaches us in Luke 24:27 that it was needed for him to suffer the cross in order to ENTER INTO his GLORY.
Luke 24:26,27.
“Ought not Christ to have SUFFERED these things, and to ENTER INTO his GLORY?
Luke 24:27. And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he EXPOUNDED unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.”
And Hebrews 5:9 also teaches us that God MADE the Son of MAN, Jesus, PERFECT to BECOME the author of eternal life.
In other words, according to Matthew 28:18, the God of Jesus GAVE His GLORIFIED human Son, all power and authority to raise the dead.
God did that so that Jesus could give us that SAME GLORY that his God and Father GAVE to him, according to John 17:22.
So, Jesus will give his good and faith servants, who OBEY him, ETERNAL LIFE to rule and reign WITH him during the AGE to come.
Hebrews 5:9.
“And being MADE perfect, he BECAME the author of eternal salvation unto all them that OBEY him;”
And Acts 2:36 clearly teaches us that Jesus was MADE both Lord and Christ AFTER the cross and resurrections.
So then, seeing that Jesus was called Christ BEFORE that cross and MADE Christ AFTER the cross, then to me, that can only mean one thing.
The FULNESS of THE Christ was given to Jesus WITHOUT MEASURE after the cross and resurrection.
And that means at the baptism of Jesus, God anointed the Son of MAN, Jesus, with a PORTION of His Holy Spirit and a PORTION of His power.
And thus, God anointed His human son TWICE. With all of that being said, I want to point out some more things in Ephesians 4:13 that PROVES this verse is speaking about Jesus and NOT about us becoming mature Christians.
The Greek word translated as “knowledge” is NOT the ONLY meaning of the Greek word “epignōsis”.
G1922
ἐπίγνωσις
epignōsis
ip-ig'-no-sis
From G1921; recognition, that is, (by implication) full discernment, acknowledgement: - (ac-) knowledge (-ing, -ment).
Total KJV occurrences: 20.
In other words, in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God, Ephesians 4:13,14 should be read with the following understanding.
The CORRECT meaning of Ephesians 4:13,14.
“Till we all come in the UNITY of THE FAITH, and of the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the God’s Son INTO a PERFECT man INTO the measure of the stature of the FULNESS of THE ANOINTING:
Ephesians 4:14. THAT we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;”
For you see, it was AFTER the Son of MAN, Jesus, BECAME OBEDIENT to the will of his God and Father, even to die on the cross, that it PLEASED the Father to HIGHLY EXALT him so that the FULLNESS of Divinity should DWELL in him bodily.
In other words, it pleased the Father to GLORIFY His HUMAN Son with the Divine NATURE of IMMORTALITY as his reward for obeying all his God and Father’s will, even to die on the cross to help his God make fallen man in their own image and after their likeness.
But yet, according to Revelation 12:9, Satan has DECEIVED the WHOLE world, until or TILL we come into the UNITY of THE FAITH that was first delivered to us by Jesus and his Apostles written in the New Testament under the New Covenant.
Revelation 12:8 assures us that Satan and his angels will NOT PREVAIL.
Here is one more translation of Ephesians 4:13 from a LITERAL word for word translation that agrees with what I have concluded as the TRUE SOUND Biblical meaning in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
Here is Ephesians 4:13,14 from the Young’s Literal Translation.
“Till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the RECOGNITION of the Son of God, to a PERFECT man, to a MEASURE of stature of the FULLNESS of THE Christ,
Ephesians 4:14. THAT we may no more be babes, tossed and borne about by every wind of the teaching, in the sleight of men, in craftiness, unto the artifice of leading astray,”
Keep in mind that the CONTEXT in Ephesians 4:6 CLEARLY identifies the ONE God who is OVER ALL is the FATHER, and the Father is OVER His Son, Jesus, whom He MADE to BECOME Lord AFTER the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:36.
Ephesians 4:6.
“One God and Father of all, WHO is ABOVE all, and through all, and in you all.”
Plain and simple, the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us that the HUMAN Son of God BECAME DEITY after the cross and resurrection.
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
