Three possibilities--

1. He's telling the truth.

2. He's deluded and talking non-sense.

3. He's deliberately lying.

He's either telling the truth, telling a lie, or He's delusional-- which is it?

Finally someone trots out a variation of the lame CS Lewis argument. The above is what's known as a false dilemma, or in this case, a false trilemma. There are of course other possibilities but the false trilemma fallacy dismisses them. One possibility is that Jesus never said those words.

So now we go to the Jesus Seminar school of thought? Perhaps the words were written in by man to make Jesus seem more the Messiah they wanted? Please, if you do that then you would have to say that most of the Bible could have been written by man as a nice story, nothing more. Jesus said this, Jesus didn't say that. Tell me, why don't you just pick out the parts of the Bible that you disagree with and start a new religion? It's been done before and sooner or later it fails because it is not based on the Word of God. As for this ,'why can't we just get along' message being posted by some on different 'ways' to worship God, I'm sorry but there is only one way and the Bible specifically explains how.
