The Case for Christ Student Response #6

In the first term of this school year my grade 7/8 class has read The Case for Christ: Student Edition by Lee Strobel. At the end of the study of the book each student was asked to answer one of the questions posed in the chapters of the book. I told that I would be sharing their responses online. So, throughout the rest of the year I will be posting their work. Please note, I have not edited these responses, they are exactly what the student handed me.

Was Jesus Crazy to claim to be God

People have thought that maybe Jesus has a mental instability, .

making his remarks to be God false. But there has been a lot of evidence that Jesus really was God, and died on the cross. There are some signs of mental instability including,inappropriate emotions like depression from no known cause, out of proportion or irrational anger. Misperceptions or paranoia like, fearful of imagined threats. And also thinking disorders including, Can’t carry on a logical conversation, irrational.

As it seems our society is is believing in spirituality. That can mean a lot of different things. It can be fascinating what psychologists can believe in now a days. They can believe in things like shamans to try and change lives.

It has been said that Jesus could have been hypnotizing everyone into thinking he was doing miracles. But could Jesus hypnotize all those witnesses all at one time?

Jesus fed 5000 people with 4 pieces of bread and 5 fish would all of those people be able to get hypnotized at the same time. So there is a lot of witnesses to Jesus miracles.  

Some people even thought that Jesus never claimed to be God; in fact, they will challenge christians to show them in the Bible where it is written that said that "Jesus was God".
