Mere Christianity
By C. S. Lewis

It truly baffles me how people can dismiss Jesus Christ as just a "good teacher" or "a good prophet" but not the Son of God.
To all the people that believe that, let me pose what has come to be known as CS Lewis's "Trilema". Either Jesus Christ was a Liar, for he claimed to be the Son of Man, the Light of The World, and God himself on several occasions, and if he knew he was in deed not the Savior, then he was lying. If he was not the Son Of Man, The Choosen One, and truly thought he was, then He, (and all the people that said they saw him preform many miracles, and all the people who have died over the years on his behalf) were Lunatics, and need to be locked up in a hospital
Option number three is the one I have chosen. His claims were true, He is the Son of God, The Christ, and has come not to condem the world, but to save the world. For whosoever call upon the name of The Lord shall be saved, but I tell you that unless any man be born again he shall not enter the kingdom of Heaven
I encourage everyone to examine those three options about Jesus Christ, and choose one. Do not be made to look like a fool any longer by simply stating that Jesus Christ was a good teacher, or a good prophet. Good teachers would not call themselves something they were not, and lie to their pupils. Good prophets would never lie to the masses and cause them to suffer on their behalf, to be killed for no purpose. Choose this day whoom you will serve, man or the one true living God
