    Depending on what sect of Christianity you belong to, you either believe that Jesus was God’s son or that Jesus was actually God in a human body. The concept is called transsubstantiation, and it is controversial among Christians. For example: Catholics believe in the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit utilizing token transsubstantiation during Communion (the bread and wine are LITERALLY his body and blood), whereas Protestants believe in direct transsubstantiation, that Jesus was literally God in a human body and Communion is performed as a symbolic gesture.
