Mere Christianity – C. S. Lewis (1952)
I will stick my neck out here and say that there are not any person now alive that can categorically state to knowing the answers regarding the truth about the birth of Christianity, or any religion for that matter.
I wonder what it would have been like to live in the times of Jesus?
People obviously thought him a freak of some kind, judging by some of the stories in the bible … just as scepticism plays an important role with anything new, especially a new religion.
He was hated for his claims on the world.
Feared by existing leaders.
Ridiculed by most and rejected by others.
To be honest, the claims made by any upcoming deities are often far-fetched, implausible, unrealistic and have all the makings of marking the person in charge as having delusions of grandeur and thus untrustworthy.
