The Life of Jesus in Harmony
". . . for this reason have I come . . ."
"There lived a wise man if, we can call him a man - named Jesus. A wonder worker and a teacher of those who search after truth, he attracted crowds of both Jews and 'Gentiles. He was the 'Christ. Nevertheless, Pilate, at the urging of our leaders, sentenced him to death on the 'cross. His disciples remained faithful, however, and after three days he appeared to them alive. This and many other marvelous things had been foretold about him by the prophets. The Christian sect, named after him, still flourishes to this day." -Flavius Josephus (1st Century AD.)
No man in history ever claimed what Jesus did.
Mohammed acknowledged himself to be a sinner.
Buddha rejected any form of personal veneration.
No man in history ever dared to identify Himself with God in the way that
Jesus did.
and Jesus said, "Who do you say I am?"
