Jesus wasn't just a nice guy who said some interesting stuff - he was actually the personification of God. Anytime a Christian says anything about Jesus, you should be able to put "God" in the place of "Jesus" and have the exact same meaning - and vice versa.

You are correct in saying that Jesus is the son of God. Lynette is also correct in saying that Jesus is God Himself. The concept is called Trinity. It consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are three separate entites, but can also be thought of as one, and can each be correctly referred to as "God." God the Father was the one who created the universe. Jesus Christ, the "Son", is God, too. He was (and is!) the Father's equal. Even so, he *chose* to submit and lower himself before God the Father and come down to Earth as a "regular guy" to save us from our sins. So, in that sense, Spenser, you are correct that Jesus *was* a "regular guy" at one point. However, presently, he is not a "regular guy," he is sitting up on the throne in Heavan with God the Father. God's Holy Spirit is what is in every person who has received Christ (some refer to it as their conscience).

So, in conclusion, while Jesus is the Son of God and was once human, he *is* God as well.
