The central claim of Christianity is that God became one of us 2000 years ago



Prophetic writings several hundred years before His birth called Him Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Mighty Counselor, Father Forever, God With Us. He referred to Himself as the Way, the Truth, the Life. St. Paul said that in Him we live, and move, and have our being. -NewAdvent Blog
