Yes, Jesus made so claims about himself that we pretty outrageous. either He was a lunatic of He was whom He claimed to be. I certainly doesn't make much sense that those that were closest to Him would die horrible deaths, knowing they were dieing for a lie. I wouldn't. would you?
As to the Bible, though it has been tried over and over again to be proved wrong, it never has. In fact even when science thinks it has something figured out, numerous times it is the Bible that comes out on top, such as when we though the world was flat. Genesis describes the world as a sphere. And the Bible made hundreds of predictions about events, hundreds of years before they ever happened and they happened, sure there are a few still pending, but every one so far has happened just the way the Bible says. There are so many proofs that Jesus is real and that the Bible is legitimate, that Yes I do believe. You should check out Lee Stobel. He has several books in print and a web site. He was a Lawyer and a journalist whom started out trying to disprove God, then discovered the truth for himself. He is alive.

I do believe Jesus was a moral person with some good ideas on God. However, I personally won't risk my logic and my soul for a book written 2000+ years ago. The Bible is, for the most part, incompatible with my moral beliefs of tolerance and acceptance of differences. It's also full of many mythological stories, historical and factual errors, and evils that can only be described as satanic. If you don't believe me, read it for yourself at the link below.

I believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God and that the Bible is a translation of the original scripture inspired by God

I believe Jesus could of been a prophet in his time, but not "god", because such myths only exist to try to understand why we are here. The bible is a good book if it is used to try and live a good live and so on, but it serves no purpose on trying to understand how everything in the world works.

The bible and Jesus are to the believer what Dick and Jane are to the reader. The purpose of Jesus and scriptures is to point us to the Spirit of truth within us. How do we know the Spirit of truth from the evil spirit? Unconditional love and absolute truth, that's how. Learn to get confirmation from within, not others.

Yes, I do. Jesus has taught us to meditate on the Word of God, for the Word will set you free. and He said:"I am the Way the Truth and the Life, no one gets to the Father except by Me" (John 14) Jesus is the reason we have Contact with our Heavenly Father God.Everything we do come from God blessing and gift of intelligence, the Bible is the pathway and recipe to our life's success

I love Jesus and the peace, love, understanding, patience, that he taught. I know it is the best way for everyone to live beautiful happy fullfilling lives. The world would be heaven if everyone could feel this and live it. Well, very close to heaven. I don't know about the bible. I don't know if I trust alot of what is in it. All I do know for sure is the love Jesus taught is right.
