We get so locked into this "Lord, liar or lunatic" thing that we fail to see the fourth possibility. LEGEND. Through no fault of his own, Jesus could have been built up into this man/god character when he was really just a great teacher. This may not be true, but it discredits there only being THREE choices.

@Anonymous1197 Moses did not command the raping of women...This says that the virgins were spared because they would not continue the seed of the Midianites if they had never slept with a Midianite man.

you know why i cant belieive in christianity. what it is now nothing compared to what the original teachings were. the catholic church changed parts of the bible to fit what they belieived was right. not what jesus thought was right. and then after that now in the bible they try to cover up the parts that are strictly forbidden nowadays like the the part where they talk about gays or the part where they say slavery is ok.

Christians - ask yourself. How long can you tell yourself that all that matters is John 3:16. For god loved the world so so so much, that he gave his only begotten son to the world so that anyone who believed in him will have eternal bliss.
If former evangelist christians (read hardcore christians) like robert price & bart erhman figured something is wrong... you should really think hard about your 'faith' and stop being so disgusting.

To obtain a doctorate in theology (& gain the PhD), all you need to do is fully immerse yourself in the bible & absorb every excuse for every verse in the bible (grounded in all these centuries by hundreds of apologists). If God killed millions of people in 2000BC, that's ok - they were primitive ungodly satan worshippers.
Thereafter call yourself Dr Adrian Rogers and tell the world that the bible is correct from cover to cover. Word for word.

This Dr Adrian Rogers is full of sh*t although he is an incredible public speaker for his careful choice of words and delivery.
Ignorant f*ck. Jesus did not split the centuries into AD & BC. Some monk in later century did. He extrapolated to the time when he thought Jesus was born and choose to call the century AD from that point onwards.

As pointed out below, there is a 4th choice. Legend/Myth.
Jesus was someone who existed in the distant past. He was an unorthodox jewish rabbi who interpreted the scriptures in a different way namely the repentance of sins. He was also a healer and believed in the apocalypse (ending of the world). Then he got in trouble with the local authorities and was killed.
Years later, history became legend, legend became myth. People started to write about him and deitified him as a god.

@jhiggedit true from cover to cover??
Wow, Numbers 31:7, 31:17-18 must be an event that actually took place. That Moses commanded the rape of those Midianites girls because God said so. You must be so proud with your bible.
Oh hang on, I'm sorry. I obviously did not read the bible in its proper context! Those Midianites were obviously beyond salvation & redemption. It is better to slay them all than to allow them to keep sinning. :-)

@k0smon PhD's don't mean squat. It doesn't matter how many letters someone has after their name; it doesn't even matter if they're an angel from heaven; the only thing that matters is WHO they say Yeshua HaMashiach is. If they say anything else other than what 1 Corinthians 15 states, they are to be anathema (damned) (Galatians 1:8).
From Personal Experience, I truly understand your frustration with religion. Please don't let the historical errors of man get in the way of your future walk with Christ. At the core, it's always been about a personal relationship with Him. I challenge you to bring these questions to Christ in prayer. Ask Him to reveal the truth. You will be surprised what happens when you depend on Him for answers and not the historical errors of man. I'm just sayn'

The existence of Jesus Christ is undisputed from any historical reference and His resurrection is equally supported. Christ professed that He is the Son of God then made it His life's mission, through His sacrifice, to establish a new covenant. His death and resurrection replaced the current day's method of priests being the intercessory between God and man. No other historically based, religious founder, may lay claim to God's approval by being resurrected to defeat death.

That is why I believe in Christ. No one else can lay claim to that level of divinity. God's love is not a 24/7 get out of jail free card. He created us with the freedom to love Him or not. Einstein was a Pantheist believing we are all mystically part of the same universe. He was in denial of the existence of a God that loves and judges. Of course, the Pantheistic view on life leaves the door open for anyone to do anything without consequences - a convenient way to live.

Jesus Christ didn't come to establish the Catholics, Baptists, Calvinists, Presbyterians, etc. He came to Earth to offer us a way, a life that stands apart from man's vision of goodness. I am one of the biggest cynics you'll meet but there came a time when I needed more than my own empty theories and ways of existing. Since I made that choice to follow Christ, my life has changed in ways that a non-believer could not relate to. I promise, a decision for Christ is Life Changing.

He is Lord, has been and always will be! Some things are true even when we think they're not.

I know everyone has an opinion but I'm a true believer in what he's teaching - the Word of God, true from cover to cover.
