One of the things that I had to bite my tongue on tonight…was the whole idea of who Jesus was, and the claim that he could only be “Lord, Lunatic, or Liar” and how many other religions consider Jesus as just a prophet or teacher, etc.
But, I think that makes an assumption that shouldn’t be made. AFAIK, that hypothesis is entirely based upon the “teachings” and “words” of Jesus according to the bible/gospels. Is there a source outside of the bible (or not otherwise based upon the bible) that makes the same claims, contains similar teachings?
