Liar,Lunatic or Telling the Truth   

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 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.

ok..lets see if i can get this to come out sounding like it does in my head lol!

first of all i am agnostic. i just plain dont know if there is or if there isnt a god.
for this part of my response lets say that YES, Jesus existed and yes he said those things, and Yes he sacrificed himself for us. (thinking like i lived in that time)
like you mention, his teachings were of such value to the masses and that he believed them so fully himself that he died for it. i think those 2 things alone would have convinced me he was telling the truth.

now..EVEN if he wasnt telling the truth, but you had seen his conviction, and seen the good that his teachings brought..wouldnt that in itself make you WANT to believe? it would lighten your life..give hope to all and a reason to try and be a good person in life.

personally in this day and age...i think Jesus was probably a lunatic. someone who had great personal charm and charisma, and who heard voices in his head. just because a person is crazy compared to the rest of us, doesnt mean he cant be a likable or at least a person with that "charm" that attracts ppl to them. i can give a great example of a person that was wrong in the head but rallied an entire country to him and his beliefs..i wont say the name for fear of upsetting ppl that i was comparing Jesus to said unmentionable (which i am NOT, just stating an example of charisma etc.)

ack..im betting im gonna upset someone...and i hope that what ive typed comes across like i want it to lol!

If he existed, he was a nice teacher, teaching spiritual truths to a bunch of disciples. He was neither liar nor lunatic nor son of God; just a nice human being, who must have died because he annoyed a lot of fanatic Jews.

Cheers and happy mylotting

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.

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.

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.

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.

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