THE GODMAN
You'll find my study notes below with scriptural references. Please take the time to study the scriptures.
The Godman
God
Jesus is: the Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:8, 1:11, 21:6, 22:13), The Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6), The I Am (John 8:58), God (John 1:1, 5:18)
Man
John 1:14, Hebrews 2:14, 4:15; Colossians 2:9, Philippians 2:5-8, 2:6-7;
Godman
John 3:13 (Son of Man)
Mediator
1 Timothy 2:5
Purity in the Flesh
Hebrews 9:14, 2:17
Made Sin
2 Corinthians 5:21
In the Likeness of Sinful Flesh
Romans 8:3
Thus, we can only conclude that Jesus is 100% God and 100% man. This is made firm when John calls him the mediator between God and man. To be a true mediator he must be equally God and equally man, therefore able to justly and without bias represent both parties. If Jesus was only “man” he could only be an advocate for man; conversely, if he was only God, then he could not claim to share in our suffering and truly represent us.

Amen. John knew what he was writing.
I also then thought of the transfiguration and that fact that he was there and how this affected Revelation. In other words he had seen Jesus as God.
This came to mind. "Hereby know ye the spirit of God: euery spirit that confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God." If he was not God then John would not have written what he wrote.
