I whole heartedly believe in God and Jesus. From the Old Testament alone, more than 2000specific prophesies have been fulfilled.
No other so called Holy book compares.Most of the 333 prophesies concerning the Messiah were fulfilled by the birth and life of Jesus Christ and the rest will be fulfilled at His second coming.Only a God who knows the future could have revealed these prophesies to those that He would have record them in His Word.
In spite of what is being taught today, the truth is we can reconstruct most of the life of Jesus Christ through non - Christian writers of the first century. Even Celsus who despised Christianity, never considered claiming that Jesus Christ did not exist.This is what can be learned from the writing of Celsus...
He was born of a virgin in a small village of Judea;
He was adored by wise men;
His birth was followed by the slaughter of infants by order of Herod;
He took flight to Egypt, where Celsus supposed Christ learned the charms of the Magicians;
After returning, He resided in Nazareth;He was baptized and the Holy Spirit descended on Him as a voice was heard from heaven;
He elected disciples;
He was a friend with publicans and other low people;
He cured the lame and blind;
He raised people from the dead;
He was betrayed by Judas;
He was denied by Peter;
In addition Celsus refers to several details of Christ's passion, crucifiction, and resurrection.
Twenty seven books of the New Testament, nineteen Pagan writers, and three Jewish writers testify to Jesus Christ's historical reality. When I hear people say that Jesus or the Bible is just a myth I just realise that they are simply unaware of the facts.I recommend The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel and or Skeptics Answered by D. James Kennedy, and The Signature of God by Grant R. Jeffrey. May all your thoughts be taken captive by the Holy Spirit. Amen.

John 1:1 says that “the Word was God.” John 1:14 says that “the Word became flesh.” This clearly indicates that Jesus is God in the flesh. Acts 20:28 tells us, "...Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood." Who bought the church with His own blood? Jesus Christ. Acts 20:28 declares that God purchased the church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God!

Yes there is a God. And yes, Jesus is real. The Bible is not the only book that claims so. Any historical account talks of Jesus. Examples Josephus (Jewish historian) and the Quran.

They say that there are records from the government of rome, but i wish they came up with that evidence already ... If i were to write a book about an entity that created everything, and loved everyone, would you believe me? Or would i have to write in an ancient language for that to happen? Doesnt anyone think that john was a satire of rome, in which 666 was actually code that translated into the full name of king Nero? This is all true, look it up, please start BELIEVING int he truth.
P.S. Notice that the only "evidence" they show is from the bible. Who is written by a man 2000 years ago that claims to hear voices in his head that belong to an entity that created Earth. Is it me, or does this sound like schizophrenia. Uh oh, dopamine levels are irregular!

Comparing God and Jesus Christ--the man who
supposedly told people "I am the son of God," I'd
say that it's highly likely that someone did say that,
way back then.
Was his name Jesus? Who knows? I hardly think
it matters. Why should it? Someone could say that
tomorrow (Wednesday, September 12th) and
experience a very different result: he might not be
nailed to a cross, but he might be hospitalized for
insanity.
I don't think they had asylums, 2,000 years ago.

Jesus is real.
Here are some non-Christian sources confirming Jesus and His crucifixtion.

In the beginning, there was God. In the end, there is God. There was no beginning and will be no end. The Bright and Morning Star which has come from heaven is proof of the existance of God.
