If the Muslim wants to say that Jesus was a good man, I will disagree and say that it is impossible for Jesus to be a good man. That piques their interest to want know why I would make such a statement that seemingly puts down the Jesus that I am proclaiming.<BR/><BR/>My answer is the one you quote in Luke 22:70 and others in the New Testament, where Jesus undeniably claims to be God or the Son of God. Which leads to the discussion of how we must consider whether Jesus is a liar (a liar purposefully does not tell the truth, so therefore a liar is not good), or Jesus is a lunatic (a lunatic thinks he tells the truth but he is mistaken, so the lunatic is wrong and therefore he is not good), or Jesus really is God (he tells the truth and he really is God). Therefore, either Jesus is wrong or Jesus is God. There is no other option. But to be "a good man" is not an alternative that Jesus leaves open for consideration. <BR/><BR/>Thabiti, thank you for your continuing presentation on witnessing to Muslim.
