Jesus Christ only lived 33 years, never went more than 30 miles from his home, never wrote a book, never was on tv, never made a cd or any multimedia source and YET
-- Jesus Christ has influenced the world more than any person;
-- Jesus Christ's existence separates history (ac or bc);
-- Jesus Christ has more books written about him than any person in history;
-- Jesus Christ is the Ruler of the largest religion in the world;
-- Jesus Christ had 11 apostles and numerous martyrs die excruciating deaths believing in the Messiah, the Son of God;
-- Jesus Christ as the promised messiah fulfilled over 300 prophesies in the Old Testament. Just fulfilling 50 makes the odds of doing so 10X135 power, an astronomical number. No human being or religious leader's existence was fortold with such clarity, never fulfilled so many prophesies about them, not even Moses, Muhammad (pbuh), Buddha, Confuscious or anyone!

In short, Jesus Christ has accomplished things NO OTHER HUMAN BEING HAS DONE in the entire history of mankind. If anyone thinks Jesus Christ is JUST A GOOD TEACHER they are very unrealistic by making such a huge understatement.

I agree with you, and I would even go as far to say: God Almighty, is a manifestation of Christ Jesus, in ALL His Glory.
"No man can see the face of God and live" this is Old Testament scripture. If God had come to earth, in all His Glory, all living things would have perished. This is why He came in human form to us, our minds could more readily comprehend this. Christ Jesus is God Almighty's revelation of Himself to humanity, in a way we can more easily understand. God Almighty is Christ Jesus in All His Glorious Splendor. We will see Christ Jesus as God Almighty, only in heaven. God Bless You....Peace.

He either was the Son of God, or he was crazy, or he was a liar. There is no other viable possibility. We know he was not crazy. If he were, the Pharisees wouldn't have taken him seriously. The only choice then is the Son of God or liar. If he is not the Son of God, then we cannot call him a good teacher, because he gave people false hopes. He either was who he claimed to be, or he was a deceiver, the good teacher option is not an option.
Anyone who wants to argue he was a liar?
I recommend C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity" for a deeper analysis of this trillema.

If you believe the bible to be a history document that is fact then Jesus was the real deal. We can trace the bible back as far as a hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, so that makes it authentic. You are right in saying that no other man was as great as Jesus Christ. By your statement he was indeed the son of God.

How do you know that Jesus Christ never went more than 30 miles from his home?
How presumptuous of you to think that your way is the only way! Wake up my friend!
In all of these leaders you have mentioned, there is only but one truth. God is Everything or God is Nothing. Whatever road you travel , all roads lead to God, the Divine.....
Seems like you have a little more searching to do before you assume the position that you have it all figured out!
Think about Religous Tolerance...love and respect for one another and their beliefs!

There has been no one like Jesus Christ, although, many have come and gone over the centuries spouting deception and lies, claiming nobility, pretending to have the ear and favor of God, there is no one that even begins to compare to the true King, Lord, and Savior, who is the Christ, Jesus.

I believe Jesus Christ was and is the living Son of God, one part of the trinity, and He was God in the flesh on earth. I believe He died for your sins, and for mine, and everyone on this internet. I like all the bullet points also.

I don't think he was like a religion leader at all, since other religious leaders have all actually existed outside of a book..

It still doesn't prove he actually existed. It still doesn't prove he was the son of God or God or both. There is no truth in religion, and that's why it is just that and nothing more.
