Who Is Jesus?: The Answers - Part 1

The first video (Who Is Jesus? - Part 1) asked four questions that I will answer. Feel free to chime in with your answers as well.

1. What are your thoughts on the afterlife? I definitely believe that there is one. First, there are the lives of Methuselah and Elijah who were taken up into heaven and did not die an earthly death. You also have the evidence of the Transfiguration with Jesus, Moses, and Elijah (Matthew 17:1-13; Mark 9:2-13; Luke 9:28-36), where, if there was no afterlife, then Moses and Elijah could not have been there. Finally, and probably the strongest evidence, is the resurrection of Jesus after the third day. Extra-biblical evidence, though not as strong, are the Near Death Experiences (NDE’s) that people have experienced and documented.
2. Who do you believe is God? God is the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and the first person of the Trinity.
3. What do you think about Jesus saying that He is God? The evidence is there to show that he at least made the claims as well as thought of himself in those terms. There is further evidence that shows he had the ability, through the working of miracles, and authority to back up those claims. However, the ultimate witness to his claim is the resurrection itself.
4. What do you think about Jesus saying that He is the only way to Heaven? If he was who he said he was, and the evidence does lead to that conclusion, then if he were to say that the only way to heaven was through him, then it must be true. He did not lie in anything else that he taught, so it seems reasonable that he would not lie about this either. Also, if Jesus was God as he claimed, and again, as the evidence concludes, then we know that it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore he is telling the truth - he is the only way to heaven.
