When discussing and proving the person of Christ, there are two basic laws that must be addressed and proven. First you must prove that Christ is one hundred percent human (humanity), then you must prove that at the same time Christ is one hundred percent God (deity).As human, Christ had a body, he had a soul and spirit, he had human characteristics, and he was called by human names.

This is true and fact, but "had Jesus' manhood been fictitious or abridged, no fully saving power could pass forth from Him to win mankind, and God were still far away (Mackintosh The Person of Jesus Christ p. 385)"...
