B. Son of God. E. Also, our Elder Brother as the spirit Firstborn Son of God, also the Master Healer, Redeemer, and Savior. Also the Creator of the world under the direction of the Father, and also the one who will reign during the Milennium, also the King of Kings, the Prince of Peace, the Good Shepherd, the Messiah.

Combination of A, D, and E.

I'm willing to humor that the guy existed, even though the evidence is flimsy at best. I believe his young life was nothing special, that he studied judism as best he could, became a teacher, had some great insights, and either because of his own feeling of greatness, the greatness forced on him by others, or genuine insanity, went nuts and started claiming to be not only the Son of God but God himself.

He would not in basic terms call me, he calls every physique! Salvation is a unfastened present to all who will receive Him. God loves you & I & the finished international lots that he will deliver his in basic terms begotten Son that none could perish yet that each you will have eternal existence. all of us fail in many procedures and ultimately can't attain God's holy and righteous generic. Jesus went to die on the go for all of the sins of all mankind consistently. Even to those that have faith on His call, He supplies the properly suited to alter right into a toddler of God. And He calls you to Him too.

Was Jesus Christ a real, historical person?

The Bible itself is the principal evidence that Jesus Christ is a historical person. The record in the Gospels is not a vague narrative of events at some unspecified time and in an unnamed location. It clearly states time and place in great detail. For an example, see Luke 3:1, 2, 21-23.

The first-century Jewish historian Josephus referred to the stoning of “James, the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ.” (The Jewish Antiquities, Josephus, Book XX, sec. 200) A direct and very favorable reference to Jesus, found in Book XVIII, sections 63, 64, has been challenged by some who claim that it must have been either added later or embellished by Christians; but it is acknowledged that the vocabulary and the style are basically those of Josephus, and the passage is found in all available manuscripts.

Tacitus, a Roman historian who lived during the latter part of the first century C.E., wrote: “Christus [Latin for “Christ”], from whom the name [Christian] had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus.”—The Complete Works of Tacitus (New York, 1942), “The Annals,” Book 15, par. 44.

With reference to early non-Christian historical references to Jesus, The New Encyclopædia Britannica states: “These independent accounts prove that in ancient times even the opponents of Christianity never doubted the historicity of Jesus, which was disputed for the first time and on inadequate grounds by several authors at the end of the 18th, during the 19th, and at the beginning of the 20th centuries.”—(1976), Macropædia, Vol. 10, p. 145.

Was Jesus Christ simply a good man?

Interestingly, Jesus rebuked a man who addressed him with the title “Good Teacher,” because Jesus recognized not himself but his Father to be the standard of goodness. (Mark 10:17, 18) However, to measure up to what people generally mean when they say that someone is good, Jesus surely must have been truthful. Indeed, even his enemies acknowledged that he was. (Mark 12:14) He himself said that he had a prehuman existence, that he was the unique Son of God, that he was the Messiah, the one whose coming was foretold throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. Either he was what he said or he was a gross impostor, but neither option allows for the view that he was simply a good man.—John 3:13; 10:36; 4:25, 26; Luke 24:44-48.

Was Jesus merely a prophet whose authority was similar to that of Moses, Buddha, Muhammad, and other religious leaders?

Jesus himself taught that he was the unique Son of God (John 10:36; Matt. 16:15-17), the foretold Messiah (Mark 14:61, 62), that he had a prehuman existence in heaven (John 6:38; 8:23, 58), that he would be put to death and then would be raised to life on the third day and would thereafter return to the heavens. (Matt. 16:21; John 14:2, 3) Were these claims true, and was he thus really different from all other true prophets of God and in sharp contrast to all self-styled religious leaders? The truth of the matter would be evident on the third day from his death. Did God then resurrect him from the dead, thus confirming that Jesus Christ had spoken the truth and was indeed God’s unique Son? (Rom. 1:3, 4) Over 500 witnesses actually saw Jesus alive following his resurrection, and his faithful apostles were eyewitnesses as he began his ascent back to heaven and then disappeared from their view in a cloud. (1 Cor. 15:3-8; Acts 1:2, 3, 9) So thoroughly were they convinced that he had been raised from the dead that many of them risked their lives to tell others about it.—Acts 4:18-33.

A: A great mystic teacher.

I sense that you are an atheist because you are not giving a more objective, equal selection of answers to choose from. An agnostic would have.

Jesus Christ Is:

The Son of God
The Word of God manifested in Flesh
Redeemer
Strong Tower
The Way the Truth and The Life

And so much more!

There are so many ways to explain Jesus.

Answer A, hands down. No doubt at all in my mind that he did exist and he was a teacher. No doubt in my mind that the bible has nothing to do with God and the man Jesus.

E) a wise man and a Jewish rabbi belonging to the Essene sect, a teacher of reincarnation / karma whose ministry later on was grossly distorted and perverted by people who never even knew him, e.g. Paul.

C is it
Jesus rebuked those who called him Lord. ON HIS OWN IDENTITY Jesus' statements throughout the Bible suggest that any idea of exalting him to divinity was unthinkable. In Matthew's gospel, Jesus denounces in the strongest terms those who exalt him by calling him `Lord': "None of those who cry out, `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of God but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. When the day comes, many will plead with me, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? Have we not exorcised demons by its power? Did we not do many miracles in your name as well?' Then I will declare to them solemnly, `I never knew you. Out of my sight, you evil doers!' " [Matthew 7:21-23] .... Adapted from this Christian site http://www.free-minds.org/jesus1.htm
