Truth? Because Christ was who he said he was, it makes him legit. It's funny how truth is not even considered in your argument. It is almost like your trying to avoid it.
Quote: The Quran believes in Jesus as a messiah and yet not the son of god.
Actually: http://islam.about.com/cs/jesus/f/jesus_quran.htm
http://www.islamawareness.net/Christiani...quran.html
According to the Koran Jesus was a "good man" even to be considered a prophet/servant of God. This description was who CS Lewis was referring to in your quote.

Quote:Only the bible refers to Jesus as the son of god. Why would one of these books lie about that and, furthermore, how does one know which book is a more reliable source of what Jesus said or is or was?
Which source carries the narrative of Christ's life?
