divinity of Christ
Messiah's divine nature
The divinity of Christ is the Christian doctrine that Jesus of Nazareth is not merely human but also divine—God incarnate.
Central to orthodox Christianity, it distinguishes the faith from traditions that view Jesus as only a prophet or teacher.
Debates over Christ's precise nature produced early church councils and creeds: The Nicene Creed affirms the divinity of Christ.
