The Deity of Jesus Christ
Foreward	Perhaps the most attacked area of our faith by cults and pagan religions is the deity of Jesus Christ. "Is Christ really God Himself?" is the question. To make Jesus Christ a mere man means that Mankind will not have to give an account for his actions on the Day of Judgement. For Christ to die on the cross but be a mere man meant that there is no power in His blood to wash away sins and to break the chain of demonic power off from people's lives. It means that God does not love us to the point he would take Judement upon Himself to bring us back to Him.
