Setting the Record Straight: Part 4 – The Divinity of Jesus.

Jesus made three claims of himself:

1. Human Being – proof: born, suffered and died
2. Divine – proof: tempted but without sin
3. Messiah – proof: confessed by disciples

Logically reconciling the claims:
Not divine? Then he was a liar and a lunatic.
Can’t be a moral leader and a liar/lunatic.
False logic becomes a stumbling block.
