Prepare-for-War
The Jesus of the Bible was born of a virgin (Luke 1:26-35), was God incarnated into human flesh (Philippians 2:5-11), was sinless (Hebrews 4: 14-15), walked this earth for 33 years, died on a cross for our sins, arose from the dead on the third day (Luke 23 & 24), and then ascended to sit in heaven at the right hand of God the Father where He is today (Luke 24:50-51, Acts 1:9-11, Acts 7:55). Any "Jesus" that does not fulfill all these things, is not the Jesus of the Bible. This is why we are told to test all spirits.

This is a rather complex statement. Let's break it down to make it understandable. First of all, what does "Lumen Gentium" mean? The same document defines this term:
"The present document-known as Light of All Nations from the first two words of the Latin text (Lumen Gentium) - is one of the two Dogmatic Constitutions issued by Vatican II, the other being that on Revelation ... it has been hailed as the most momentous achievement of the
