The Humanity of Christ
What the Bible says about the Humanity of Christ
Jesus was God that became flesh!
John 1:1, 14 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, [fn] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. "
He was tempted in everyway like man and had the ability to sin, but did not sin.
Matthew 4:1-11 "Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' [fn]" Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: " 'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' [fn]" Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' [fn]" Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me." Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.' [fn]" Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

The Deity of Christ
Cults/Etc.
Free Masonry This "secret" society believes that Christians who join their groups should not exclusively believe that Jesus Christ is Lord, and are told not to exclusively do so.undefined
Jehova Witnesses This cult believes that Jesus was not God. Therefore, they do not believe in the deity of Christ, but rather believe he originally was the archangel Michael before he became man! What heresy!undefined
Mormonism This cult believe that Jesus was the brother to Satan. They believe that God was once like man and that all men can become gods
Christadelphians This "Biblical unitarian" denomination believes that Jesus is not equal to God and never will be.
The Way International This cult was founded by Victor Paul Wierwille, an anti-trinitarian, who wrote a book called "Jesus Christ is not God." This cult holds the belief that Jesus did not exsist in the beginning with God the Father.
Jesus had the right to forgive sins; something that only God could do.
Mark 2:5 "When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
Luke 5:20-21 "When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven. The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
Jesus will judge the living and the dead.
1 Peter 4:5 "But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead."
2 Timothy 4:1 "In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead..."
Thomas cried out to Jesus "My Lord, and My God" and Jesus did not rebuke him for blasphemy!
John 20:28 "Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
Paul refered to Him as "great God and Savior."
Titus 2:13 "while we wait for the blessed hope-the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ"
