Who challenged the belief that Jesus is both God and man?

Answer 1

Any human being who is able to look into history of the world and realize that we have never see or heard of a 'fully goat' which also 'fully dog'.

There is no trace in history of half dog and half goat - this is a make belief fantasy which the pictures of mermaids are made of. Mermaids do not exist for real.

Therefore it can only be a make belief that a being conceived and born by a woman is both God and Man.

If you look into the ABC of disbelief it is the same. The Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Romans, the Greeks and the Egyptians all have their man-made gods and they too believed them too be the real thing.

The "C" in the ABC is what we have today a group of people worshiping a fully man and a fully god person.

Answer:

During the 'reign of man,' many have challenged this truth especially the ruling religious sects at the time of Jesus' physical being on the Earth. The problem seems to stem from our inability to accept things we do not yet understand or our concern of losing our position power/wealth if such a truth is real.

The Scriptures say that Jesus was before all things and created all things in John 1:1-4 and other places. Yet, it also says He was the 1st begotten of the Father and became a man among us:

John 1:14New King James Version (NKJV) The Word Becomes Flesh14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Now how could God, a spirit-being become a physical-being? Well the Scripture says nothing is impossible for God (Luke 1:37).

Consider the catepillar which begins its life on the ground. When the time is right, it spins a cocoon and through "metamorphism," changes into a beautiful butterfly of the air. So it was with the Word who became flesh - just in reverse order.

Another point, Jesus was begotten of His Father in Heaven. The only way we are begotten is via a woman - thus the way Christ became a man. We humans who repent and are baptized are promised to be changed into spiritual sons and daughters of the God Family - begotten by God's Holy Spirit with our Human Spirit while phyical and growing as an embryo grows until the times of our births into spirit.

This is all consistent to every word of Scripture regardless of who believes now or doesn't. At the Judgement Process (not a trial), all minds will be opened to these truths and each will have his/her chance to accept and be born again or reject and die the 2nd death. Choice is for the individual alone.
