Famous Jesus Quotations

Christians: How much clearer would the Bible be if Jesus was only a prophet?

I’m not talking about anything else in the Bible except for the person of Jesus (a.s.) with his quotations and actions.

Could you be open minded enough to consider this possibility, or are John 3:16 and other famous verses to ingrained to even try?

The problem with those that say he is just a prophet is that the Bible contradicts them if you actually look.

Prof. Daniel B. Wallace (wrote the textbook on ancient Greek & Greek translation) in an interview in the book “The Case for the Real Jesus” says “It’s disturbing that when it comes to the Christian faith, people don’t really want, or know how, to investigate the evidence” and I see so many that really don’t want to know how reliable the Bible is or its message.

Jesus is the Son of God and the Saviour (Messiah/Christ) as written about 700 years before Jesus was born in Isaiah,
Isaiah 53
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.

and in John 1
29The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
…
34″I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God.”

I think Thomas said it best!
John 20:
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Jesus is God that came in the flesh that so that the sins could be paid for of those willing to believe and accept Jesus as Lord and sincerely repent of their sins so they might be made acceptable to a Holy and Just God. Grace and Mercy are God giving us the forgiveness we don’t deserve but that the punishment was paid for by Jesus. In our imperfect lives we should want forgiveness and love and do not want His justice.
