He IS alive today and we know how He is thought of. Some people denigrate Him and say all manner of things falsely about Him, some people say He was merely a good man, and still others proclaim Him as God.

He claimed to be God. Either He was right or wrong. If wrong, He either knew He was wrong or He didn’t know He was wrong. If He didn’t know He was wrong, then He was crazy, really totally crazy and belonged in a looney bin. If He did know He was wrong, then He was a liar and a scoundrel for enticing many to their deaths.

If He was right and actually was, and is, God, then He deserves to be worshipped, loved, and obeyed.

Who do you say He is?

This argument fails, because it is based upon a false premise.

It was the religious experts who claimed that he was claiming to be God. They did not understand his words, but were wholly convinced of their own interpretations of them. They even attempted to trap him in his words and bribe his mind with flattery, as if he were an insecure dullard with an ego to be massaged. And when that didn't work they picked up stones to stone him. Those were the kinds of 'experts' he was dealing with on a regular basis. So what else is knew. His attempts at correction fell upon deaf ears, as it is to this day. He was right and they were wrong.

It goes a long way in explaining why the teachers and disciples of the modern established religious orders will not recognize him. They'd be minded to do much worse things than to beat him and drag him off of an airplane. Nothing is new under the sun.

He deserves to be honored, loved, and obeyed. Bridezilla is in for a rude awakening. "United", at least until the lawyers are called in.
