The Diety Of Christ

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 4, 2022

Something we Christians have always taken for granted as we witnessed to the lost is the deity of Christ. That is, as we talked to sinners we would take it for granted that they understood that Jesus was the son of Mary and Joseph, but more important, that He is the DIVINE SON OF GOD.

At least two things have caused the general public to turn away from these eternal truths. MANY DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE DEITY OF CHRIST… ...read more
