How could Jesus be all-in-one?
To understand how Jesus could be the sacrifice for sin and the scapegoat in his body, we must accept Jesus’s definition of life. “The spirit is the one who gives life; the flesh counts for nothing; the words I speak to you, are spirit and life.” John 6:63, From a Greek manuscript. Some manuscripts and translations capitalize the first noun, “Spirit,” but not the second. However, Jesus said to the people that he speaks from the spirit, not flesh. The human spirit is human intelligence. It is not made of matter. Because Jesus spoke concerning his human body, the spirit should not be capitalized. At creation, God made the human body from matter. He then put into body spirit or life, and the body became a living human. The human body executes the command by the spirit or intelligence. The result is the reaction called the human soul. The human soul was neither created nor given. It results from the spirit acting on the body through the human brain.
The whole of humankind has one spirit. Advanced studies and experiments indicate that the whole of humankind has one intelligence. The definition of the spirit in the Bible is the same as that of intelligence in quantum science. Therefore, it should not be described as a physical quantity. We all have the same intelligence. We differ in knowledge and experience. However, our knowledge is not our intelligence. Our intelligence or spirit acquires knowledge. Human intelligence or spirit does not change ever. Human knowledge and experience increase, but intelligence remains the same.
The human spirit or intelligence made a deliberate decision in the garden of Eden and became a sinner. The human body did not sin. The human spirit subjected the human body and the earth to decay. Decisions made by the spirit or intelligence cannot be reversed. The intelligent decisions are final. At the incarnation, God put in Jesus a new human spirit or intelligence, which is the new life of humanity. Jesus’s human spirit was of the same order as the spirit that God put in Adam. By conquering temptation, Jesus’s spirit became perfect and could never die. It became the eternal life of the new humankind. Because the new spirit became perfect, the presence of the Holy Spirit sanctified the human body of Jesus. Therefore, Jesus was qualified to be the sacrifice for sin and the scapegoat in his sanctified body.
