Is Jesus Christ, God's only true Son? Probably the boldest assertion Christ ever made about his divinity was to the Jews in John 8:56-59. When Jesus remarked that Abraham rejoiced to see his day, the Jews retorted: "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?". Jesus replied: "Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I am." The designation, "I am", was a special title in the Jewish tradition reserved for God, alone; it was, indeed, the divine first name, the name God told Moses in Exodus 3:14 to tell the ... Conversely, if Christ made the claims and believed they were true when they were actually false, he becomes a pitiful example of the religious fanatic, the insane but gifted, charismatic rabble-rouser. Neither picture fits well with the fact that Jesus Christ started the most ethical religion the world has ever seen. 3.
