If Jesus Isn’t God, Who Is?

We ignore the obvious at our peril. The obvious, in this case, is that Jesus was not just a great and good man but also was God. Jesus is a historical figure who meets the criteria necessary for God/Man actuality.

Because Jesus was God, He still is God. Also, because Jesus was human, He is still human.
