There was NEVER a debate in the Church about the Deity of Jesus except by a handful of misguided cultists. The first verse in John's Gospel answers any question of the so-called debate. IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS GOD. Even a rock can understand that John is saying the LOGOS (the Word) WAS GOD. Who is the LOGOS - JESUS THE LOGOS BECOME FLESH. If that isn't enough then just look at Hebrews 1:8 But about the Son he (God) says, Your throne O GOD In other words God himself calls the Son, Jesus GOD. Case Closed End of Debate. Now for the 4 Gospels. There were always 4 and only 4 Gospels. Matthew (Lion), Mark (Lamb), Luke (Man) & John (Eagle) based on the four faces of the Cherubim before God (Ezek 1:4-14). So simple yet so hard when some chose to read Dan Brown & History Chanel fiction as if it were fact.69.14.96.9
