from previous post –
Western scholars
continue to assert that historians believe Jesus lied. However,
scholars have scrutinized Jesus’ words and life to see if there is
any evidence of a defect in his moral character. In fact, even the
most ardent skeptics are stunned by Jesus’ moral and ethical
purity. This is an additional proof that Jesus was murdered or there
was an attempt to kill him to appease Jew priests. There influence in
the Roman government was high, they did not want to disturb them, and
at the same time, they did not want to kill Jesus.
According
to historian Philip Schaff, there is no evidence, either in church
history or in secular history that Jesus lied about anything. Schaff
argued, “How, in the name of logic, common sense, and experience,
could a deceitful, selfish, depraved man have invented, and
consistently maintained from the beginning to end, the purest and
noblest character known in history with the most perfect air of truth
and reality?” This explains that it was a conspiracy by Jewish
priest to condemn him in the eyes of gentry.
To go with the
option of liar seems to swim upstream against everything Jesus
taught, lived, and died for. To most scholars, it just does not make
sense. Yet, to deny Jesus’ claims, one must come up with some
explanation. And if Jesus’ claims are not true, and he wasn’t
lying, the only option remaining is that he must have been
self-deceived.
