Human history and the New Testament of the King James Bible.
Jesus is a child of the Father (of the Spirit) and a child of mankind (of the flesh).
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Matthew 1:23, see also Isaiah 7:14.
To appreciate who and what Jesus is as the first and only begotten human child of the Father (God), we must know the "nature" of the parents always determines the nature of their offspring. For example, zebras (animals) are born from zebras as animals, sparrows (birds) from sparrows as birds, perch (fish) from perch as fish, and people (humans) from people as humans. Being born of God means being born of the Spirit.
Jesus was born a human child (mankind) and God the Father's son (Spirit). Jesus is the ONE AND ONLY begotten (human-birthed) son of God the Father! He is part God (Spirit) and man (flesh).
Recall that every person has a body (servant), soul (life), and spirit (truth). Accordingly, Jesus has a body, soul, and spirit.
Jesus received His human body from His human parent, Mary, His mother. Recall, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh;..." John 3:6a.
Jesus was conceived in Mary, His mother, by the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth, but without human contact because the Spirit is not flesh.
Thus, Jesus was also the son of God by the power of the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Ghost.
Remember, the Father's spirit (truth) IS the Holy Ghost. The Word of God foretold (prophesied) the coming of Christ Jesus, born of a woman (a son of man) and born of God (a son of God).
Recall that every person, including Jesus, has a body (servant), soul (life), and spirit (truth); and, "that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit", see John 3:6 above.
From the moment of conception, Jesus's spirit (truth in Him) was different from ours. Jesus received His spirit (truth in Him) from God as the "offspring" of the Father (Spirit). Recall that the Father's Word is His servant and His offspring in the Spirit because it originates from Him. See Isaiah 42:1 and Matthew 12:18, above.
God the Father presented His persona, His Word, the Word of God as God (John 1:1), inside of that human named Jesus. In the context of the Spirit, the Word of God is the offspring (issue) from the Father Himself, just like our words are the offspring (issue) from us when we speak. Therefore, the spirit (truth) of Jesus IS the Word of God from the Father. The Word of God in Jesus is what made Him Emmanuel, "God with us" (Matthew 1:23, see also Isaiah 7:14). Jesus knew who He was from the inside out. He knew the God part of Him was the Word inside Him.
The Word (the Holy Spirit, or simply the Spirit) in Him is the very reason why Jesus IS the only begotten son of God from birth, and only He is the doorway to God.
Simply stated, the Word of God IS the spirit/Spirit (man's truth/God's truth) inside a man.
The phrase "the Word was made flesh" (John 1:14 above) means the Word (Spirit) was given a very important flesh suit to dwell within because that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:6. Of course, Jesus was born a living soul like all of us.
Therefore, Jesus was born mankind (flesh) and Godkind (the Holy Spirit). More specifically, Jesus is the servant of God because the Word of God is Him from the beginning.
Jesus is both the Son of God and the Son of Man, and only He can proclaim that truth everywhere. The Word of God gives the believer the power to become a child of God in the Spirit, starting with the Word, the same way Jesus had the Word (Spirit) in Him as the first child of God. As discussed later, this is why we who are "born again" of the Spirit are said to comprise and be alive "in Him" as the body of Christ Jesus today on earth.
God the Father wants us to know Him. We come to know Him by learning His Word. His Word is THE door to the Spirit. Jesus, the begotten son with the Word of God inside Him, said:
Jesus is a child of God (of the Spirit) and a child of mankind (of the flesh). He said,
...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John 6:63.
No. There can be no faith in something that has already happened because it is a fact. Whatever happened are facts to be believed.
For example, the death of Jesus on the cross and His resurrection unto life thereafter are well-documented events of human history! In fact, most of the original disciples, more than five hundred (500) miscellaneous people who knew Jesus, and Paul (the guy who authored almost 2/3 of the New Testament) all saw Him alive days after His lifeless body was taken off the cross He was nailed to and buried in a tomb.
Therefore, the events of Jesus' death and resurrection are facts to be believed. When we believe the facts about the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus and the promise of salvation Jesus gave us, we have the “power to become” God's sons (children) by adoption through faith in the Father's Word. However, faith is belief put into action, i.e., conduct (action) in reliance on the belief. Confessing (admitting) sin and repentance from sin are the actions (conduct) of faith needed to be born again and saved when our body dies. Both, confession and repentance are required to become born again of the Spirit (saved) and live forever.
Jesus said:
...I am the door... John 10:17 and 19.
Jesus also said:
...I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6.
Yes. From the beginning of time and forever thereafter, the Word of God is God who created all things. All creatures (humans too) were crafted by the Word of God.
The Word foretells of life on earth for all and life in heaven for the children of God, but not everyone is a child of God, despite what you may have been told, taught, or think. To be a child of God, you must be "born again" of the Spirit.
As humans, our first introduction to God is through the Word of God. The Word is in the Bible. Jesus, the Word, said:
When Jesus offered Himself (His body, soul, and spirit) on the cross, He shed His blood and died. He did so in love to cleanse us from the death penalty for our sins and gave us the power to become sons of God!
In the natural, Jesus and the cross is the physical door to the Spirit.
In the supernatural of the Spirit, the Word of God is the doorway of the Spirit.
For everyone born again of the Spirit, the Holy Ghost (Spirit of Truth) enables us to go in and out of the Spirit, allowing us to commune with the Father in prayer and know His will personally and individually, so we can do it. Therefore, hiding or removing the Spirit of Truth (the Holy Ghost) from the New Testament of the Bible, as some so-called "versions" do, is a very bad idea.

The Hubble Space Telescope provides a detailed look at the core of the giant spiral galaxy Messier 51 (M51). Most sources agree that M51 is located around 25 million light-years away. A "light year" is about six trillion miles.
