***What Does Romans 1:3-4 TRULY mean?
Here is Romans 1:3-4 from the KJV. “Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
My first observation while studying this verse is that Jesus MADE of the seed of David, according to the FLESH. This brings two verses to my mind: Hebrews 5:7, the days of his FLESH, and 2 Corinthians 5:16, where Paul teaches us that the FIRST nature of the Son of God was FLESH and after the cross and resurrection the nature of Jesus is DIVINE nature.
So, it is not “logical” to conclude that Jesus had two natures at the same time during the days of his FLESH as Trinitarian Christians dogmatically demand in order to be saved!
Also notice that the Son of God was DECLARED to be God’s Son WITH POWER by or AFTER the Resurrection. For you see, the Greek word ‘translated” as “by” also means AFTER the resurrection the Son of Man was APPOINTED or DETEMINED by his God to be given all power and authority, according to other verses such as Matthew 28:18 and Revelation 5:12.
The third observation is that all power and authority was given to the Son of Man “according to” or DUE to the spirit of holiness. In other words, Jesus received all power from his God after the cross and resurrection BECAUSE of his OBECIENCE to obey all of the “Will” of the Father even to suffer and die on the cross for the sin of the world, according to Philippians 2:6-11, Hebrews 12:2, and Hebrews 1:8-9.
Jesus OVERCAME the world THROUGH the Eternal Spirit dwelling in him to offer himself to his God without sin, according to Hebrews 9:14, Acts 10:38, and many other verses of Scripture.

P-18 Romans 1:3-4 Jesus Was Declared God’s Son With Power By the Resurrection!
Jesus Was Given All Power & Authority
Introduction-The Son of Man Was Anointed TWICE!
Most Christians acknowledge or they give “head” knowledge that Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and Power, according to Acts 10:38. But by what they actually teach, they are not yet truly understanding what the God intended meaning of Jesus Anointed means in the Light of the whole word of Almighty God.
Acts 10:38.
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”
But yet, both Trinitarian Christians and Modalist Pentecostal Christians argue that the Son of Man, Jesus, was BORN with all power and authority because he is Almighty God Himself in the flesh.
And they draw that conclusion from their own personal interpretation of John 1:1 c, which says, “...and the Word was God.” Then they apply the mathematical formula that says. “If A = B and B = C, then A = C.
In other words, they argue that if Jesus is the Word and the Word was made flesh as John 1:14 says. And if the Word was Almighty God Himself, then that must mean that Almighty God Himself was made flesh.
And since God does not change and cannot stop being God. then Jesus must have had two natures at the same time during the days of his flesh, one fully divine nature, and the other a fully human nature.
But that “theology” assumes that the Word is a separate person from the Almighty God who was with the Almighty God, but yet the Word was the Almighty God Himself.
However, that “theory” is based SOLELY upon their own personal conclusion that the “theos” in John 1:1 c must, without fail, dogmatically mean the Almighty God Himself and not “A” God under and subject to his God and Father.
But the Greek text does not have the definite article “THE” before the Greek word “theos”. Therefore, John 1:1 c could be translated as “...and the word was a god.”
Mark, the evangelist and the writer of the Gospel of Mark, preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Coptic people, who translated the New Testament into their own native language. And the Coptic translation of the Greek New Testament was one of the very first translations of the Bible.
Now, the Coptic language has the article “a” and John 1:1 c is translated as, “...and the word was a god.” Keep in mind that the Coptic people were taught by Mark the evangelist long before the man-made doctrine of the Trinity was formed SLOWLY over three hundred years.
Please read the study titled: The Church of the Firstborn - Book 2 Ch6. Why the Coptic Translation is the First TRANSLATION!

Please allow each verse of Scropture to speak for itself. Each individual verse study presents only two choices: truth or error, right or wrong. Like a coin flip, the odds are fifty‑fifty, but the outcome depends entirely on whether one studies Scripture with Scripture for themselves or they rely on their own denominational literature.
Many denominations interpret through their own writings rather than through the inspired text, and that practice inevitably leads them straight back to what their church denomination believes and teaches.
My goal is to keep God’s message simple!
Here is the list of verses with LINKS that clearly teach God’s Son as being GIVEN all Power and authority AFTER the cross and resurrection, according to the following verses:
Revelation 5:12, Matthew 28:18, Romans 1:4, John 17:2, Hebrew 2:5-10, Hebrews 1:2, Hebrews 12:2, Daniel 7:13-14, Acts 2:22-36, Romans 14:9, John 18:37, Philippians 2:6-11, 1 Peter 3:22, Psalm 2:6-9, Psalm 110:1-4, Psalm 89:27, Psalm 89:19-20, Isaiah 9:6-7, Luke 1:32-33, Luke 24:25-26, John 3:35, John 5:22-27, Ephesians 1:2-22, 1 Corinthians 15:22-28, Revelation 11:15
Back to Jesus ANOINTED TWICE?
The Greek word “Christos”, Strong’s number G5547, that is translated as “Christ” has more than just one meaning.
#1. Christ means ANOINTED by God or the ANOINTING of God, which is the Holy Spirit of God dwelling in the Son of MAN, Jesus, according to Acts 10:38 and many other verses of Scripture.
#2. Christ also means the Messiah or the Savior, according to Acts 2:22,23,36, John 1:41,49, John 4:25,26, and Luke 2:10,11. Plus many more verses of Scripture.
The word Christ is found 571 times in the King James Version, which by the way is a prime number.
Now, Jesus was NOT born ANOINTED. And neither was Jesus born as a King and Savior.
But rather, to that END Jesus was ORDAINED to be born of a woman in order to be ANOINTED or crowned to be APPOINTED or set as God’s King and Savior, according to John 18:33-37, Acts 3:14,15, and Acts 5:30-32, as well as Acts 2:22,23,36.
Jesus was anointed TWICE, first at his baptism to be given a portion of God’s Holy Spirit, according to Acts 10:38.
The anointing of the Holy Spirit was given to the Son of MAN, Jesus, to empower him to overcome sin and do mighty works of healing THROUGH the Eternal Spirit dwelling in him.
Then after the cross his God and Father was well pleased with his obedience and ANOINTED Jesus to the office of being made the God over the whole earth, according to Hebrews 1:8,9, and Philippians 2:8-11.
And at this second anointing, God GLORIFIED the Son of MAN with ALL power and authority, to receive the FULLNESS of the Godhead to dwell in him, according to Colossians 1:19, Colossians 2:9, John 7:39, and many other passages of Scripture.
Let us begin by reading Acts 2:22-24,36 so that you can see that it was Jesus of Nazareth who God raised from the dead to be MADE both Lord and Christ after the cross and resurrection.
Acts 2:21-36.
“And it shall come to pass, (Meaning that it was PROPHESIED in the Old Testament Scriptures that the one prophesied to come would be GIVEN a NEW NAME by Yahweh, according to Isaiah 62:2-5) that whosoever shall call on the NAME of the Lord shall be saved.
Acts 2:22. You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a MAN APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know:
Acts 2:23. Him, (The anointed Son of MAN, Jesus with a PORTION of God’s Spirit dwelling in him from his baptism to the cross) being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: (In other words, God ORDAINED this to happen as a part of God’s PLAN of salvation to redeem mankind and to JUDGE the fallen angels)
Acts 2:24. Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
Acts 2:25. For David speaks concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for He is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: (Or more correctly translated, the Son of MAN, Jesus, understood the prophecy to be speaking of him.
And thus, Jesus said, “I foresaw Yahweh always before my face, because of Him, me or I am on right hand that I shall not be moved”)
Acts 2:26. Therefore, did my heart rejoice, (Speaking of the heart of the Son of MAN, Jesus, rejoicing with the joy that God set before him to endure the cross to be seated at the right hand of Almighty God, according to Hebrews 12:2 and the many prophecies that testify of the Messiah) and my tongue was glad; moreover also, my flesh shall rest in hope:
Acts 2:27. Because You will not leave my soul in hell, neither will You suffer Your Holy One to see corruption. (Here we clearly see that Yahweh is NOT the Holy One who is a MAN.
And Hosea 11:9 also clearly teaches that God is NOT the MAN, the Holy One in the midst of the people who will execute the WRATH of Yahweh)
Acts 2:28. You have made known to me the ways of LIFE; You shall MAKE me full of joy with Your countenance. (Which we learned in the previous chapter, “B-6 Ch9 Did We Inherit a Sinful NATURE?”, is the GLORY of Yahweh that Yahweh promised to ONLY share with His ELECT, according to Isaiah 42:1-9)
Acts 2:29. Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day.
Acts 2:30. Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the FLESH, He would RAISED up Christ to SIT on His throne; (In other words, God promised King David that the Messiah would be born from his lineage or his seed.
And God would resurrect His ANOINTED servant from the dead and SEAT him on His throne.
For you see, the throne of King David was and still is Yahweh’s throne on the earth)
Acts 2:31. He, seeing this before, spoke of the resurrection of Christ, (Speaking of the ANOINTED Son of MAN, the MAN approved by God) that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Acts 2:32. This Jesus (Jesus of Nazareth, a MAN approved by God because of his love for RIGHTEOUSNESS and hatred toward iniquity, according to the prophecy in Psalm 45:7 and the FULFILLMENT in Hebrews 1:8,9) has God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Acts 2:33. Therefore, being by the right hand of God EXALTED, and having RECEIVED of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.
Acts 2:34. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he said himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit you on My right hand,
Acts 2:35. UNTIL I make your foes your footstool. (In other words, Jesus will rule over the earth during the world to come for 1000 years, UNTIL, God has more than enough WITNESSES to JUDGE the world by the MAN whom He ORDAINED and raised from the dead, according to Acts 17:29-31.
Then the Son will step down from ruling and commit the Kingdom back into that hands of Almighty God the Father, according to 1 Corinthians 15:20-28)
Acts 2:36. Therefore, let all the house of Israel (And also ALL Christians) KNOW ASSUREDLY, that God has MADE that same Jesus, (The Son of MAN, Jesus of Nazareth, the MAN approved by God) whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
In other words, Jesus of Nazareth did NOT have the Holy Spirit dwelling in him BEFORE his baptism by John The Baptist.
But rather, God, who is Spirit VISITED the Son of MAN, Jesus, from His Virgin birth to the time for His chosen one to be TESTED by God’s enemy, Satan, the Devil.
But before God SENT His Son INTO the world, God ANOINTED the Son of MAN with POWER from on high.
And at the baptism of Jesus, the Holy Spirit descended upon the Son of God to REMAIN upon him.
The Greek word “apostellō” that is translated as “SENT” in the KJV, in John 3:17, John 10:36, and John 17:18, is translated as COMMISSIONED in the LITERAL translation of the Textus Receptus.
And, according to John 17:18, Jesus said as you have SENT me INTO the world, even so, or in the same manner, I also have SENT them INTO the world.
John 17:16-19.
“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (In other words, WE who are born-again are NOT of the world in the SAME WAY that Jesus was NOT of the world.
So, to me, Jesus was the ADOPTED Son of God like WE are now the adopted sons of God.
And after the cross and resurrection, the Son of MAN, Jesus, BECAME the ETERNAL Son of God.
And at the coming of Jesus, we who are found to be good and faithful servants will ALSO be made to become the eternal sons and daughters of God)
John 17:17. Sanctify them through Your TRUTH: Your word is TRUTH.
John 17:18. As You have SENT me (Or COMMISSIONED me to go out) into the world, even so have I also SENT (Or given the Holy Spirit and POWER from on high to dispatch) them INTO the world.
John 17:19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the TRUTH.”
This concludes this verse study on Romans 1:3-4, but just as a reminder, please read all of the verse studies concerning the HUMAN Son of God being GIVEN all power and authority linked in the verse reference listed below.
Here is the list of verses with LINKS that clearly teach God’s Son as being GIVEN all Power and authority AFTER the cross and resurrection, according to the following verses:
Revelation 5:12, Matthew 28:18, Romans 1:4, John 17:2, Hebrew 2:5-10, Hebrews 1:2, Hebrews 12:2, Daniel 7:13-14, Acts 2:22-36, Romans 14:9, John 18:37, Philippians 2:6-11, 1 Peter 3:22, Psalm 2:6-9, Psalm 110:1-4, Psalm 89:27, Psalm 89:19-20, Isaiah 9:6-7, Luke 1:32-33, Luke 24:25-26, John 3:35, John 5:22-27, Ephesians 1:2-22, 1 Corinthians 15:22-28, Revelation 11:15
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.
