Trillema Jesus is Lord or Lunatic or Liar?

C.S Lewis stated that Jesus is either Lunatic, Liar or Lord. If he is Lunatic, he did not know that he is a god. If he is liar, that means he knows that he is not God and he is a hypocratic, a fool and a demon. If He is the Lord, that means He tells the Truth ad He is God.

Firstly, many people don’t believe about the existence of Jesus of Nazareth. How can we know that he existed in the world? There are remains in Israel. There are many people who believe about the existence of Jesus too. There were prove and Simon Peter's house was discovered. The old boat from that time was discovered. Even it was discovered that there was stars in 6 BC when Jesus was born. Because of this, many people believe that Jesus was born in 6 BC, not in 1 AD. But people still believe that Jesus was born.

Secondly, I want to talk about him if he is lunatic. If he is a lunatic, how can he be a person who had many followers. And he knows what would happen in the time in His life that has not happened and then it happened. And how can he tell many wise words that is true? And all of his words is not random things but it is the truth. And if he doesn’t know that he is not a God, what is the point of His life? If he is a lunatic, how can he know what he is doing?

Thirdly, I would talk about Jesus if He is a liar. A liar would not tell the truth. And a liar does not like the fact and truth. Jesus is the only ONE of all religions founder that claimed that He is a God and the only way. Confucius, Lau Tze, Mohammed , Sidharta Gautama (Buddha) and others never claim that they are God. And if Jesus is a liar, how can His words that He spoke is all true? How can He be really a patient person, love each other and drive away devil if He is a devil Himself? A devil would not disrespect other devils. And how can He know about the things that in people's heart. So if He is a liar, the martyrs and other Christians who had been persecuted would die in vain. But, in Nero's time (the ruler of Roman Empire), all Christians who had been persecuted in the Coliseum died when they sang to the Lord. And all of them were smiling when they died eventhough part of their body eaten by lion or burned. From where is their strength to do this came from if Jesus is a liar? Many Christians died with peace eventhough they died in vain ways. And forgive the people who killed/crush that person? From where that peace come from? And if Jesus is a liar, that means we live in the time of lie, because the time AD was counted after Jesus was born. And all of the followers of Him is a liar too, but how can we believe in Isaac Newton who believed in Him? Many other people believe in him.

The one that I agreed is that Jesus is the Lord. If He is a devil, how can He forgive the people who mocked and hit Him before He died. How can He rose from the death like His prediction? And how can Christianity grow more and more in the time that is moving? And how can John the Baptist jumped with happiness in his mother's womb when Jesus's mother who contained Jesus in her womb met John's mother? How can a dove came to Him and there were words saying that He is the Son of God? How can He rise up to Heaven in His time? He is a God, because He forgive people's Sin. He fulfilled all the prophecy about Messiah from the Old Testaments eventhough the chance of that happens is 1 over 10 to the power of 28. He is really the Messiah. The quality of Christ can be known by reading John 1:14 where it said, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Jesus has all the quality of this. He was born from a virgin. Woman's gen is XX and man's gen is XY. Woman who does not have Y gen cannot bear a boy that has Y gen. So, if Jesus born from a virgin, He would be a woman, but He is a man. Because it is a miracle from God. He is full of grace, truth and Glory. He did miracles and said words that only God could say or do. And He is full of truth. I believe that Jesus is God. And experienced peace of Him. We can't know His peace before we tried it. People would not know before they tried. Because we are chosen, we know about that peace. I believe it with all my heart. Only faith made we know about it. Faith come from hearing. And hearing come from the Word of God. May God bless us with His love. Amen.
