Please explain fully but simply your belief that Jesus is God, then number and list in order the evidences supporting your belief starting with the strongest evidence.

• Hi Saved, thanks for that I'll look into it. The last sentence in your first paragraph appears to be incomplete.

• 1. The Bible was written by man so it's not evidence of God.
  2. Personal belief is not evidence of anything except that you believe.

• I am not a Christian myself, at least not in the popularly understood sense, and I do not accept the Bible as we have it today is entirely from God. I can see you've been cautious with your two statements, and I'll more or less go along with them but with the following further comments.
  .
  1 "The Bible was written by man", well how else would you have that? For example are you implying that it should have dropped from the skies? How can I be sure that it would make any difference to your disbelief in God even if it had dropped from the skies?
  .
  2 Agreed, but personal belief in God is also evidence that you have been rational and chosen to attribute life, universe and the origin of the complex laws that govern everything to a super being rather than to the mathematically insignificant probability of it all being the result of a series of accidents or chance.

• 1. I don't think anything should be based on one book, written by God or by man. If a person is going to base their entire life full of choices and beliefs on something, it needs to have more to back it up than one book.
  2. You think it's more rational to believe in a supernatural being than in the evidence and mathematical support that is available? Even if something seems mathematically improbable, given enough time improbable things can happen more and more frequently.

• 1 The Christian will tell you it's actually not one book but a collection of 66 or 73 depending on which version you choose. If you're reasonable you'll accept that

  2 no, it's the analysis which leads one to choosing between the two options that's what I called rational. In the pot before us we have matter, energy, life, death, beauty, emotions, altruism, the physical and the metaphysical, the truth that lies within the grasp of the narrow band of unaided human senses and the truth that lies hidden outside that narrow band, the ultimate origin of it all, the ultimate purpose of it all. We have two options to explain all that. One is a series of accidents. Apart from the extremely high improbabilities involved this option doesn't even attempt to address many of the things in the pot. The other option requires the postulation of the super being, God. This one ingredient appears to the Muslim to explain EVERYTHING. So one cannot blame the Muslim for having chosen that option, can you?

• The Holy Bible is only one book that I have ever seen. If it is made up of several books then fine but I think you're splitting hairs here.

  I would never blame anyone for choosing any belief. People can believe what they want to believe.
  .
  It is not a responsibility that nature has to explain itself to us. If we want to know, we have the responsibility to explore and discover the answers that we look for. It makes no sense to make the conclusion that because we don't have all of the answers, everything must be caused by God. That's a lazy man's answer.
