Yes, but what if Jesus was not God? He would then have been lying or
deluded, and blaspheming as well in the eyes of Jews, Muslims etc. I have
met many peopel who thought they were Jesus. Once, we had two Jesuses
on the ward at the same time. We thought they might get into a fight, but
in an appropriately holy manner they both walked around smiling and blessing
everyone. They even forgave the staff for disbelieving and giving them
medication. I have to admit, they were nice people, and others could learn
from their example. But they were deluded.
