This is to those individuals who believe that the man Jesus Christ once walked this earth. It has nothing to do with whether or not he existed, so please listen to the question. Is it more logical for one to "assume" that Jesus didn't say "I am the way the truth and the life, noone comes to the Father but by me", or that he did say it since we have written documentation that states this that can be dated back shortly after his death? Who in this place can honestly believe that Jesus did not say this, offer no source of proof, and be taken seriously? I mean opinions and assumptions don't mean squat unless you have data to back them up. It is my hope that everyone here will seriously put any pre concieved prejudices aside and answer this question "logically" with an open mind. I am looking for true common sense answers here from anyone, Christian or not.

I'm not asking for proof here folks, just what is more logical to believe, based on the evidence we have.

PLEASE read the question, it has NOTHING to with faith.

I am a Christian and do have faith in Jesus Christ. There have so far only been 2 individuals who have paid attention to the question at hand. Assumptions were flying around left and right about this question and me, and it is SO SIMPLE of a question if you just read and listen to what it asks.

Logic has nothing to do with faith. And there is no real evidence of what someone said or didn't say almost 2000 years ago. So what really is the point of your question? People's faith dictate what they believe to be true, regardless of what they can prove as fact...that's what FAITH is.

there's is no historical evidence that a man called Jesus walked the earth 2000 years ago.the roman historian Josephus mention a man fitting his consensus description,but he also talked of flying disks and other bizarre phenomena so his description cant be trusted as true,there is no solid proof and to answer your question logically is impossible as the idea is an abstract based purely on faith,there is plenty of accounts written independently that actually talks of other biblical people spoke of in the new testament,but none of jesus himselve so logic promote the non existence of the lord jesus(i do believe in him)

I live by faith in God and in His son Jesus. That is where my faith lays, and whom I place all of my trust. Not in man.
Psalms 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Logic belongs to the non beliving man, and not to the faithful Christian.

because of free will anyone can believe anything, it makes more sense to believe what is documented than to doubt it

We're told that Jesus said that. But, that doesn't prove anything, does it?

if you want a "logical" answer try asking a Logical question.
