Jesus as God-Man vs. God-Superman
Christian theology recognizes Jesus as the God-man, highlighting his complete humanity alongside his divinity. The Gospels depict this duality through various illustrations, such as Jesus' emotional moments of anguish, tears, and intimate human experiences, contrasting with instances of miraculous powers. By acknowledging this human side, believers can relate to Christ's struggles and doubts in their own lives. This dynamic representation invites deeper connections with Jesus, moving beyond a superhero-like figure to a relatable savior.
