"There is no god, Jesus was a clever politician and the
Catholics made up satan..."
Satan's
biggest lie is that God doesn't exist. His next big lie is that he, Satan,
doesn't exist.
As for Jesus, unlike the founders of other religions, some of who were clever politicians, Jesus claimed to be the Creator of the
entire universe (see
John 1 and
Colossians 1).
Jesus
' claim can only be true or
false, right? If it's true,
Jesus is God (
Lord). If it's false but Jesus thought it
was true, then
Jesus is a
Lunatic. If it is false and Jesus knew it to be false, then
Jesus is a
Liar.
Given the unprecedented nature of Jesus
' claim, Jesus can only be
Lord,
Liar or
Lunatic. There are no other theoretical possibilities (if you come up with
one
other than
Lord,
Liar or
Lunatic, please kindly email us). And Jesus can’t be is a clever politician because
claiming to be the
Creator of the universe isn't very clever.
So please do your own research* and upon conclusion either condemn Jesus for
having been a
Liar, pity him for having been a
Lunatic, or worship Jesus as
Lord.
The one thing you can't do is to dismiss Jesus as just a clever man. His claim about
himself precludes that possibility.
* Read
Case for
Christ, written by a former journalist who discusses the
Lord,
Liar,
Lunatic argument (The "Lord Liar Lunatic"
argument was originally introduced by a British theologian named C.S.
Lewis). More importantly, read
the Bible for yourself. You wouldn’t vote without having
heard the candidates for yourself, so why pass judgment on
the Bible without having
read it for yourself? If the
entire Bible seems daunting, read the Gospel of John. Here is an
online
study that will help you think through this Gospel.
