While He was on earth, Jesus was just a man, however, a very unique one for He was born without the sinful nature we all are born with. That make Him a perfect man. His only purpose to be born, live and die like a man was to do the Will of the Father. He never claimed to have any power, but that the Father would do whatever He asks Him because of His love for Him.

Not just a man, He was a devine man, sent here to save those who will accept Him. It's awful to hear the world reject a man who gave His very life for people. Why would just a mere man do this?

He is my Savior, and I am proud to be called a daughter of His.

Not just a man, the Son of God sent to the world in form of a man not to condemn the world, but to save it! Ignatius-J-Reilly, by the way, Jesus didn't mess up the world, man did, man has a choice, no matter how wrong it may be.

If he was just a man, born in a small town, not wealthy, with no military or political ambition do you think we would be talking about him 2000 years later.

From the book The Crucifixion: The compassion and love that was Jesus comes through clearly
when we learn that we do not need to seek forgiveness, for we are not condemned; we do not need
to be saved, for we can never be lost; we do not need to seek eternal life, for that is what we are.
The truth is there is only One Being and we are all part of it.

Here's a question- how do prove he's not the son of God?

If He were just a man?would He not deserve the honors and adoration that is reserved for a [god] anyway...because of the extra-ordinary events that surrounded His life and ministry which lives on today inspite of His doctrine and followers being persecuted and subject to ridicule;from Roman emperors,Attila the hun,the norsemen,the moors,the turks,and survived the french,russian,spanish,and mexican revolutions just to mention a few of our oppressors dispite of their feeble efforts the christian faith lives on through the millions and millions of faithful which as the christian roman philosopher Tertullian once said with great accuracy martyrdom is the seed of christianity it has the reverse effect the enemies desire the more they try to annihilate our exsistence to the degree of being a mere rumour the more we grow in strength,perseverance,and devotion if this be the work of amanthen where does this uncompromising almost supernatural resistance come from?If He were just a man surely His teachings would have very little or no effect considering the data.I for one would suspect there was supernatural grace attached to His works judging solely on its survival! opinion:one can easily dispel His Godhood in order to humanify an answer to make sensible the unbelievable to our little minds and intellects.

If this were true, then we would be committing idolatry by worshipping Him (because the Father said 'Do not worship any other God but Me') and we are actually still under the Old Covenant. Because Jesus' blood would not have meant much to the Father. So Jesus' death would have been in vain. That's how dangerous it is to take from the Lordship of Jesus. Jesus is fully God (although not Father God), nothing less. We can only get saved by acknowledging the deity of Christ (as our Lord and saviour.) We know He is God because His blood was so precious, that it could save the whole world and get billions into heaven. Only blood of infinite value could accomplish that. One person's life would have only been good enough to wipe away one person's sin for a time. But Jesus' blood has wiped all the believer's sins clean for a whole eternity, even if they do still muck up. We know that we are no longer under the old covenant thanks to the blood and body of Christ because under the old covenant, if you did things like not observe the Sabbath, you may have been put to death. I don't see anyone dieing because they didn't observe a special day. If we were still under the law, God would have warned us years ago to repent, and by now, planet earth probably wouldn't exist due to our stubbornness. Plus we have accurate eye witness accounts of Jesus performing miracles only God could. After the earth shook and the graves of righteous saints were opened after Jesus died, the people who saw these events certainly weren't saying 'He's just a man!'

If that's what someone thinks, let them try to do the things he did.

Finally, an interesting question amidst the theological swamp. . .It is possible that this person was just a man. But if he was, we are talking about a psychology and philosophy that is so far advanced it rivals any great thinker in Western Civilization. Yeshua held modern concepts of (1) social class, (2) treatment of women, (3) pitfalls of monetary greed, (4) you don't need to attend a place to have a relationship with god - a thought that could get you killed, (5) sick people weren't being 'punished' and it wasn't their own fault. The list of groundbreaking concepts goes on and on. I tend to think that this guy was just a man with a lot of writing attributed to him. . .but if half of the stuff was true, we are talking about one of the philosophical giants here.

Yes, just a man. No more, no less.

How can you prove that he isn't just a man? Sorry, but just because the bible says it doesn't mean it's true.

there you go. maybe less a man than Santa Claus

Some people have trouble proving that he really existed so how do you expect anyone to prove that he was the son of god.

Besides a few notes from Tacitus that actually appear to have been added, ahem, posthumously to his records; there is no evidence he even EXISTED. One would assume if he went around healing thousands of people, there'd be more records of it. MANY more. As it is, if he did exist at all, he was simply human. Well, let me rephrase that: No MORE human than Buddha, who taught basically the same doctrines in a much clearer style much earlier.

Sits at the right hand of GOD now. Only came here as a man for us. Afterall he did create us.
