Deity of Jesus

Jesus is either God or he was a lunatic. This is the argument put forth by C. S. Lewis in Mere Christianity. In his words-"We are not given the option based on the Biblical text of believing he was a great man, philosopher or prophet alone (paraphrase)."

Note above in light of Jesus words: "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." Mathew 4:10 (quoting Deuteronomy 6:13).
