- - - - Today Christians answer this question rapidly without much thought, but in the early day of the Church this simple question was carefully examined. Although there were many heretics, most of them whom have distorted people's view of Who Jesus is, Eusebius affirms that Christ is the Son of the living God, the Creator of the heavens and the Earth, Who is self God.
      - Jesus was the God-Man : Some heretical groups began to teach that Jesus was just a man, while others taught that He was only God and merely appeared to be a man. Other's maintained that, while He was more than man, He was less then God.
    - - 1) Eusebius acknowledges that God is the one Who is allowing this horrible persecutions to happen against the Church. It is God Who orchestrates the trails through which the church passes- (Phil 1:29-30)
      - 2) Eusebius emphasizes the close connection between piety toward God and blessings and curses in this life, both for the Church and for the World.
