I recently got into a debate with a Christian over whether or not Jesus was God. During the course of our discussion, he said to me "if Jesus existed then he was a lunatic, a liar, or the son of God."
From my studies, I have concluded that all other religions such as. Hinduism, Buddhism. Confucianism, and Islam were founded by human beings and are based on man-made philosophies, rules and norms for behavior. If the founders of these religions were taken out of their prospective religions little would change.
However, if you take Jesus Christ out of Christianity there would be nothing left. Biblical Christianity is not just a philosophy of life, nor an ethical standard, nor obedience to religious ritual. True Christianity is based on a vital, personal relationship with a risen founder who is our living Savior and Lord.
I know what I believe however, I would like to know what your thoughts of this are.
