"he never wrote a book. He never held office. He never had a family or owned a home. He didn't go to college. He never lived in a big city. He never traveled more than 200 mi. from the place he was born. He did none of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials, but HIMSELF."--Bryan Halls reffering to JESUS CHRIST.

This man is ignorant of many things.
John 21:25:
25And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written...
This was not said by him but about him. Year after year and decade after decade., we still see the impact that Jesus Christ has on the lives of so many. Look at the number of questions concerning him on Yahoo Answers.
There were very famous movie stars back in the fifties and sixties who were known far and wide. Their figures were made in wax and despayed in a popular business of that day. Just about maybe five years ago, they were sold off because none of the young people who visited or moved to the area knew who they were or even cared. Therefore, they had lost their identity as being great actors and actresses. The business knew to survive that there had to be new wax figures of todays generation in order to make it as popular as in the past. How many who will claim to not be religious use the names of "Jesus" or "Jesus Christ" as curse words. It is said both here and abroad. You never hear "Oh, Ceasar." or "Oh , Bill Cosby" at all or as rare by a few. Why? These are famous and have been considered to be great in the past and today. Just think about how many times you have heard cursing or cursed yourself using his name as compared to other ones. Why? How many in this world knows anything about Bryan Hails? He must not be an example of greatness or be even famous.

But he had only one qualification that the greatest one
he was the messenger of Allah the Almighty.
He had no credentials but he taught the whole world.
He had no MBBS degree but he cured the severely infected human, by the order of Allah the Almighty.
he had not lived in a big city but influenced the entire world.
he had not travelled more than 200miles but his message travelled the accross the corners of the world.
He had not had a family but there are billions of muslims remember him all the time.
He had not owned a house but there are thousands of masjids where muslims resite quran and recall his name with full sincere and devotion.
he had none of these so called things that you think are necessary to be great but HE WAS THE GREATED PERSON OF THE WORLD.

Since Jesus is the Word! in John's Gospel he did write a book!
plus he did have a Mother brothers and sisters = Family
Jesus does not need quotes like that!
Jesus has plenty of great discription by thse whom walk with him!
boast in Jesus not in Quotes!

Technically, since the bible contains many quotes from him, and if God wrote the bible through the people who penned it and if Jesus is God incarnate, then Jesus did write a book.

I think it is an accurate statement. It shows the difference between what God considers greatness and what man considers greatness. His ways or standards for greatness are higher than ours.

I think that their trying to say that anybody can be "greatness"
It depends on their actions not all the other details of their life's.I think its an excellent quote that doesn't only have to apply to religon.

No one knows whether any of that is true or not. Since only 3 years of his supposedly life is 'known', all of those could be true.
