jesus as god and man
christians believe only god has the power to save humanity from sin- if jesus saved us from sin then he has to be god
jesus had to be human to live on earth, suffer pain, and submit to human death
jesus being fully human and divine causes issues- god and humanity are very different so how could someone be both at the same time?
christians reject demi-god idea found in ancient greek and rome mythology
jesus didn't have the sinful nature that humans have, he was capable of being tempted by evil but rejected it
therefore he could bring humanity to reconciliation with god

most Christians agree with teaching on jesus' human and divine nature
confirmed at the first council of nicea in AD325
council of chalcedon in AD451
they agreed jesus is 'of the same substance' as god, as one being known as 'homoousios'
they rejected the idea that jesus was some kind of mix or blend of 2 natures
the miracles of jesus
in the new testament jesus is seen as being a miracle worker, including healing the sick, feeding the hungry, driving out demons, calming the storm, walking on water, turning water into wine
hume argued in the 19th century that when presented with a miracle account, we should always treat it with scepticism, and believe there is a more likely explanation of the event
Edward Schillebeeckx argues miracles should be interpreted as having a spiritual,metaphorical meaning rather than a literal meaning
NT Wright suggests miracle stories should be understood in terms of the intentions of the writer to show that jesus had the power and authority to unite people and restore communities
