I am afraid that I can't let the good doctor off so easily as you did. You are quite a good sport.
Doc, you claim that there was another possibility besides LIAR, LUNATIC, or LORD and that was that Jesus was simply MISTAKEN about His own divinity.
If so, I can certainly see how He got confused about it! After all, He gave sight to the blind, cleansed lepers, walked on water, calmed storms with a word, raised the dead, and rose from the dead Himself.
This was not like todays TV preachers. Not even his enemies tried to deny His miracles, they just said He did it by the power of the Devil instead of God the Father.
Was He MISTAKEN about being raised from the dead? Was he just extremely lucky that He laid hands on sick people just when they were about to get better all by themselves?
The MISTAKEN option is not a viable one. What else have you got to throw in the way of accepting the inconvienent Truth? That is- Jesus is just who HE claimed to be and died for your sins.
You may not wish to accept His claims on your life, but He spoke the Truth, it is in His word for you to read today, and only by accepting His love will you be saved, only by rejecting it will one be "doomed".
Or so it was claimed by others.
Lots of people claim lots of things, especially decades after the fact.
This was not like todays TV preachers. Not even his enemies tried to deny His miracles, they just said He did it by the power of the Devil instead of God the Father.
You should read more history.
