Liar,Lunatic or Telling the Truth

I am a believe that Jesus' claims are the truth- that you can only come to his Father through him. With that being said- it doesn't mean you have to go to chruch or confession. It means you must believe in him and be saved. I would like to point out something about your question (hope you don't mind)- it is very diffcult to answer a question honestly for some people when the person who poses the questions tells them why they are wrong for feeling the way they do- before they ever respond. (just a thought) I believe that it would be easier for non-believers to come to the Lord if his witnesses practiced a little more patience and a little less judgment.

I am also a believer and know he was telling the truth. But,it would be hard to make someone who wasn't a believer understand that. I don't know that most would call him a lunatic or a liar. Mostly, they just don't believe in the Bible in the first place. Some don't even believe in God, period. So they wouldn't even care what he said, or what we thought.

I belive C.S. Lewis made a similar argument in one of his books.

Come on now, only someone who doesn't read don't know the answer to this! I'll answer this with a question; y do u think at the end of prayer u have to go through his name? It's right there!!! Taripre$

telling truth is better rather thn telling loads of lies bcoz for hiding 1 bitter truth u cant stop building up chain of lies

I'm proud to be a Jesus Freak and a Bible Nerd, but it was a long journey getting here. I spent my childhood going to church, being a pastor's kid and resenting both. I went through a dark time in college when I became agnostic (believed in a supreme being, but thought religion was culture-based) and even dabbled in Wicca. Thankfully, I had an experience that immensely humbled me and made it possible for me to realize that the faith I grew up in gave me the truth I was looking for. HTH. :)

I believe Jesus is who he claims(yes, in the present tense) to be and did what he came to earth to do. He told the truth and then went and practiced what he preached by dying for us so we can be saved from our sins. He now is with God the Father in heaven acting as our High Priest, praying for us and being our advocate before God every day.

pauld43, Jesus indeed is the Son of God, for if we continue where you had left off, on verse 7 (KJV) "If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him." In the first place, the bible itself is a spoken word of God. Hopefully you are not among them, but some skeptics view the Bible as if it were compiled like a Wikipedia article. With more than 40 contributing authors spanning several centuries, they say, it cannot be completely accurate. But Scripture sets the record straight. There is only one author. Peter wrote, “Prophecy never had its origin in the will of man” (2 Peter 1:21). In other words, we are not reading the mere thoughts of Moses, David, Isaiah, Paul, or Peter. Rather, the words of the Bible come directly from God, put to paper by men “as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” Which means that we find incredible unity, clarity, and commonality flowing through the Old and New Testaments. The truths expressed in Daniel’s writing from the palace courts of Babylon are mirrored in John’s words from the isle of Patmos, hundreds of years later. The themes of God’s character, of man’s rebellion, and of God’s glorious plan of redemption wind their way through each page. Further additions, revisions, or retractions are unthinkable and unnecessary because God’s Word is confidently complete. Thank God that He has given us what we need for every challenge and crossroad of life as His clear and trustworthy voice speaks to us through His Word! Amen.

Being non-Christian I choose D. None of the above. See I doubt there ever was a son of God. Perhaps a man named Jesus. I mean there are all kinds of them running around these days. If being a religious fanatic (your words, not mine) makes you happy, then more power to you. But not all of us are following you on that same path. Some of us choose an alternate route.

When Jesus made this statement 'of course he was telling the truth'. I used to go to Church, not now though, but I read my bible everyday and it becomes clearer to me the more I read, that it is all true word. You would have to have the brain of a million, trillion, men to have the wisdom that God had. Thankfully today, even the scientists, are starting to believe in the bible. Son of God. Is correct.

I am a Christian and a follower of Christ so I believe that He spoke the truth. I have often thought something similar and have discussed this with others many times over the years. What would happen if Jesus was to return to the earth TODAY? I believe that most would consider Him to be a lunatic, possibly including myself. There is no doubt that Jesus was a great man, a great teacher and a great leader. But I can also understand how people could doubt he was the son of God.
