“Jesus was a liar!!!!!”
Logically speaking you would have five unconnected books with five different perspectives, right?
Point 2 ---- Here's an undisputable fact (I believe at least after examining) Jesus of Nazareth claimed to be God, his followers claimed He claimed to be God...and...non Christian journalist (such as Josephus) claimed He claimed he was God. Doesn't appear here to be different agendas going on. He said it, His followers said He said it, third parties said He said it and even his enemies said He said it (Sanhedrin, Pharisees, etc)
Point 3 ---- Most direct followers were killed for believing in JC. If they had stole his body and the Romans excused, at least one of them would have squilled just before their execution right? I would have...
but NO-All these ordinary folks were willing to die for what they saw…

How many times are we going to have to read a post like this?
We all know there is people that believe in god and people that don't. Why do all of you people have to post stupid threads about how god is real, or not real? I could understand if this was the first thread I saw like this, but it's at-least the tenth. Why don't you use the search and read all about how jesus,god, or even religion is not true?
I personally could care less if you do believe in god, or if you don't. I'm a Roman Catholic myself. I'm not going to post a thread titled "I know jesus is real!"
I find arguing about religion to be like trying to nail jelly into a wall, IMPOSSIBLE.
If the person believes, your aren't going to sway them! At all! Why do you want to anyways?

I wouldn't say that too loud but it looks more like he played god and was taken into heaven and chastised for doing so
First of all, the longer I live the more I realize I don't know. Life is a bit more complicated than I thought it would be when I was in my 20/30's. I am a Christian, by that I mean I have chosen to believe that I am imperfect and needed His intervention.
You need to pray make an act of your faith and belief
I have come to this conclusion primarily upon LOGIC, not faith. Faith is one of those enigma's in today's vocabulary that has lost its meaning or has been interpreted differently by so many. My journey to this conclusion has a few factors that I will share with the forum/thread.
At this point i write in red because you are at that place where i must leave you to burn.
He never professed to be god but the people killing and soul raisings are acts of a god. I am still wondering about the halo. It is inconceivable that he would have had this from birth. He may have obtained this by being chastised to the soul. Many pictures show his disciples as having this sign of divinity. Eight of the desciples were taken to heaven with him for this wandering around, doing god things trouble. Perhaps they receive the halo then. Prophecy will fail because you and your weak faith self will rebuke satan an save your soul from eternal damnation, where you are at right now. And as for your proof " I don't believe the Jew and I don't believe you!"
Stop believing jesus is a liar your attack is as good as any cruxifiction, and he we'll remove your sole from heaven because you will not see god unless you accept jesus christ.

"Jesus never claimed to be God"??????
You guys don't know your scripture too well....
John 8:24 - "I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins."
John 8:58 - "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.'"
John 10:30 - "I and the Father are one."

Simply put we are a small part of this very very vast universe. What makes you think that one religion has the answers to the vastness of existence. Open your mind and follow your dreams literary and you will see that there is more out there.
Everyone one has an agenda on all sides of reality. You just have to decided if you will be persuaded to live in fear or follow love.
