120:4.1 And so certain unworthy [[children]] of [[Michael]], who had accused their [[Creator]]-[[father]] of [[selfish]]ly seeking rulership and indulged the insinuation that the [[Creator Son]] was [[arbitrarily]] and [[autocratically]] upheld in [[power]] by [[virtue]] of the unreasoning [[loyalty]] of a [[deluded]] [[universe]] of subservient [[creatures]], were to be silenced forever and left confounded and [[disillusioned]] by the life of self-forgetful [[service]] which the [[Son of God]] now entered upon as the Son of Man—all the while subject to "the will of the [[Paradise Father]]."

120:4.2 But make no mistake; [[Christ]] [[Michael]], while truly a [[dual]]-[[origin]] [[being]], was not a double [[personality]]. He was not [[God]] in [[association]] with man but, rather, God [[incarnate]] in man. And he was always just that combined [[being]]. The only [[progressive]] [[factor]] in such a nonunderstandable [[relationship]] was the [[progressive]] [[self-conscious]] [[realization]] and [[recognition]] (by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_42#10._UNIVERSAL_NONSPIRITUAL_ENERGY_SYSTEMS_(MATERIAL_MIND_SYSTEMS) human mind] of this [[fact]] of being [[God]] and [[man]].

120:4.3 [[Christ]] [[Michael]] did not [[progressive]]ly become [[God]]. God did not, at some [[vital]] [[moment]] in the [[earth]] life of [[Jesus]], become man. [[Jesus]] was [[God]] and [[man]]—always and even forevermore. And this God and this man were, and now are, one, even as the [[Paradise Trinity]] of [[three]] [[beings]] is in [[reality]] one [[Deity]].

120:4.5 [[Urantia]] [[mortals]] have varying [[concepts]] of the [[miraculous]], but to us who live as [[citizens]] of the [[local universe]] there are few miracles, and of these by far the most [[intriguing]] are the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:5._BESTOWAL_OF_THE_PARADISE_SONS_OF_GOD incarnational bestowals] of the [[Paradise Sons]].

[[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] was a miraculous [[person]].
