Examine the Verse
Hebrews 10:12
This verse is claimed to provide the basis of the Iglesia ni Cristo belief that 
as the Son of God, "Jesus is Man" in nature and state of being.

	But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, (Hebrews 10:12,  New King James Version)
	Iglesia ni Cristo belief in God and Jesus Christ: Iglesia ni Cristo believes in the absolute oneness of God, that "the Only True God is the Father" in heaven; The Father is the Lord God Almighty, the Creator of all things. God is Spirit, eternal, immortal and invisible; He is the God and Father of Jesus Christ and His Apostles; and that of Moses, Abraham and the ancient Israelites. Iglesia ni Cristo believes that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. As the Son of God, Jesus is a Man.  However, Jesus is not an ordinary man but a "very special Man", who was sanctified; made Lord, Christ, Savior, Mediator and Judge by God.
	Apostle's admonition, warning and unique way of teaching: 1. No prophecy of scripture is a matter of personal interpretation. (II Pt. 1:20, NAB) 2. Do not go beyond  what is written. (I Cor. 4:6, NIV)  3. We do not use words of human wisdom. We speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths. (1 Cor. 2:13, NLT)

	Points to Consider:
	1.  Notice that it is the Lord Jesus Christ that is being referred to in the above verse. as this is written in Hebrews 10:10: "By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all". 2.   In the above verse, you can clearly read:  "But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God". Thus, the Lord Jesus Christ is clearly described as the Man who sat down at the right hand of God". 3.  Please note very carefully, that the Man Christ Jesus sat down at the right hand of God, clearly showing His distinction from God. Therefore, Jesus cannot be God Himself as He is the Man who is sitting at the right hand of God.
