In this episode I show that in contrast to the deity of Christ claim that Jesus couldn’t be a mere man, the Bible declares explicitly that Jesus had to be a real (mere) human being. 

It is necessary that Jesus was and is a real (mere) human being. 

And, what God did through the real (mere) human being, one man, is sufficient to reconcile humanity to God. 

In contrast and contradiction to the Trinitarian deity of Christ claim, the Bible declares that as sin and death came through one man, even so God’s grace, gift of righteousness, and the resurrection from the dead come through one man -- Not through a god-man.
