FFS, David, the paragraph is your friend. You are not William Faulkner, this stream of consciousness, shotgun blast of prose style does not aid and abet your message.

You still haven't answered my question in link-free plain English ignoring the evidence so far, I will credit you with the capacity to do so. If Jesus was Jesus from the start, what is being said, when Christians speak of Jesus as the son of Mary, linked by maternity to the house of David? ((Jesus was born in the flesh to Mary.... but always existed in the Spirit...as he was from the Beginning..or as he said.Before Abraham was, I am. Jesus was the great I AM. I thought I gave you that exact hyperlink that went over this in detail...and it wasn;t even mine. Besides I also gave you my two hyperlinks concerning this. Are you sure you studied them or did you avoid them)) When Christians characterize Jesus as "the word made flesh," what are they saying? ((The Word is the direct words of the Almighty.. simple enough... from Genesis til Now to the future))) The Biblical account is that Jesus was a man, born of a woman. (((And from the Beginning))) Most Christians consider this distinction to be an important one. ((True as Jesus was more than a mere man))) A specific, and unambiguous act of God: (((Jesus is God, there is no distinction between the rather loose terminology God and Jesus. jesus was the ALMIGHTY. Three in One Trinity.. Isaiah 9: 6))) that Jesus's existence was a human one, his life a human one, and his death as genuine as any death could be. ((Yes human but divine, God in man if you choose that terminology)))Without the true sacrifice of his death, and the miracle of resurrection, Christianity would be something else entirely. ((Yes))Jesus's spiritual essence or whatever you wish to call it, may have been there all along -must have been if you believe in the trinity- ((YES)), but if you believe in Jesus Christ, the man, the messiah who was predicted by the prophets -not seen by them on earth-, the personality who lived on earth and died on the cross, then whatever it was that existed before Jesus the man was conceived and born cannot have been the man who was born, etc. (( You don't make sense HERE, try rephrasing your query if it in fact is a question... There is a spirit world, and Jesus existing in it before this material world is readily understandable. )))
Can you respond to this without resorting to irrelevant quotes, rants and Jeremiads about nonbelievers, links to your web pages, (((MY web hypers are to answer specific questions not for advertising, so why should I re-expalin what I have already explained in that article. be huimble enough to realise some of your questions are asked by others and therefore answered previously)))or spurious nonsense? It's a specific issue, with no atheistic content. You bluster on about false skeptics and atheists, apparently determined to believe that nobody can disagree with you and be anything but a nihilist and atheist. (((No just false skeptics..... and people can change from being false skeptics and become true skeptics, and find real answers))
My personal belief or lack of it is irrelevant, as always, to the question of whether your ideas are valid. I ask the question above without any atheistic or nihilistic twist. Whatever my personal faith or lack thereof, it can be taken as a simple Christian to Christian question. Can you answer it intelligently and intelligibly?
So try http://www.geocities.com/davidjayjordan/MessianicPropheciesfulfilledbyJesus.html
As these talk about the prophets prophecies that showed the qualities of Jesus and even the time of His birth.
