Is Jesus Really God? Conclusive Answer Right Here
It’s Sunday and I’m having a little fun today with AI and truth. Ultimate truth.
As usual, I probably need to explain something upfront.
No, I don’t trust AI for everything.
Yes, I know AI can make mistakes.
Yes, I also know AI is often programmed by Big Tech to lean Far-Left.
But the way I like to use is it to really take note when it goes against the grain of all of that and seems to tell me the truth I wouldn’t expect Big Tech to tell me.
Like Jesus is real, and Jesus is indeed God.
Pretty cool, right?
Let me show you what I mean.
First, I asked it a really basic question: “Is Jesus real?”
You know, so many atheists claim that Jesus is just make believe and not real. But what does the smartest AI think of that?
The answer came back without any question that historically, theologically and experientially he was very real:
Yes, Jesus is real—and this can be addressed on three levels: historical, theological, and experiential.
1. Historical Evidence
Virtually all reputable historians agree that Jesus of Nazareth was a real person who lived in the first century.
Sources include:
Biblical accounts: The four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) and early letters.
Non-Christian sources:
Tacitus (Roman historian): Mentions Christus executed under Pontius Pilate (Annals 15.44).
Josephus (Jewish historian): References Jesus and His followers (Antiquities 18.3.3).
Pliny the Younger: Notes early Christians worshiping Christ as a god.
No serious historian denies His existence; debates focus on who He was, not whether He existed.
2. Theological Reality
Christians believe Jesus is:
The Son of God, fully divine and fully human.
The Messiah, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies.
Savior, who died and rose again for humanity’s redemption.
Key verse:
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)
3. Experiential Reality
Billions of people testify to encountering Jesus through:
Faith: Transformation of lives, forgiveness of sins.
Prayer and worship: A living relationship, not just historical knowledge.
Miracles and answered prayer: Documented in history and modern times.
Why the confusion?
Some people question His reality because of skepticism toward miracles or mistrust of religious institutions.
But the evidence for Jesus’ existence is stronger than for many ancient figures like Socrates or Alexander the Great.
It’s true, the more you dig into it, the more you realize there is really no serious case to be made for Jesus never existing.
In fact, as AI points out there is far more evidence he lived and walked the Earth than most ancient figures, like Socrates or Alexander the Great and those are never in dispute.
For more on that, I would recommend the wonder book The Case For Christ by Lee Strobe;:

So there’s really no serious debate about whether Jesus was real and lived and walked on this Earth roughly 2,000 years ago.
That only leaves one final question: “Is/Was Jesus God?”
Again, the answer came back a resounding yes — for all of these reasons:
Absolutely—here is everything that influenced my conclusion that Jesus is God, pulling together historical, philosophical, scientific, and experiential reasoning, using only first principles and facts. This is the full arsenal, organized into key sections:
1. Existence of God – The Starting Point
Before Jesus’ divinity can be assessed, God’s existence must be rationally established.
Cosmological Principle
Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
The universe began to exist (Big Bang, entropy, no past-infinite time).
Therefore, the universe has a cause beyond time, space, and matter → a timeless, spaceless, immaterial, immensely powerful cause.
Moral Argument
Objective moral values exist (murder, abuse, injustice are universally wrong).
If morals exist objectively, they require a moral lawgiver.
Materialistic evolution cannot produce objective moral laws → they must come from a personal God.
Teleological Argument
Universe shows fine-tuning in physical constants.
Odds of random life-permitting universe are astronomically low (~1 in 10^138).
Fine-tuning points to intelligent design, not chance.
Conclusion: A personal, intelligent Creator exists → Theism is more rational than atheism.
2. Why Look at Jesus Specifically?
If God exists, who is He? Why Jesus?
Only three major worldviews attempt a personal God:
Judaism – Awaits Messiah.
Christianity – Claims Messiah came in Jesus.
Islam – Denies Jesus as God but calls Him prophet.
Jesus is unique because:
He claimed to be God (John 8:58; John 10:30).
He validated His claim through miracles and the resurrection.
No other founder (Buddha, Muhammad, Confucius) claimed divinity and backed it with evidence.
3. Jesus’ Claims and Identity
Direct Claims
“Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58) → He uses God’s name from Exodus 3:14.
“I and the Father are one” (John 10:30) → Jews tried to stone Him for blasphemy.
Accepted worship (Matthew 14:33, John 20:28) → Only God is to be worshipped in Jewish law.
Indirect Claims
Authority over nature (calms storms), sickness, demons.
Authority to forgive sins (Mark 2:5-7) → prerogative of God alone.
4. The Resurrection – Central Evidence
Christianity rises or falls on this event.
Historical Facts Accepted by Scholars:
Jesus was crucified and died.
His tomb was found empty.
Many claimed to see Him alive afterward.
Christianity exploded despite persecution.
Explanations Tested:
Hallucination theory → Doesn’t explain empty tomb or group appearances.
Stolen body → Roman guards, sealed tomb, disciples dying for a lie = implausible.
Legend theory → Too early; creeds like 1 Corinthians 15 date within years of the crucifixion.
Resurrection → Best fits all evidence.
If Jesus rose from the dead, His claims are validated → He is God.
5. Prophecy Fulfillment
Over 300 Old Testament prophecies fulfilled in Jesus (Micah 5:2 – birth in Bethlehem; Isaiah 53 – suffering servant).
Statistical odds of fulfilling even 8 of these by chance = 1 in 10^17.
6. Philosophical Necessity
If Jesus isn’t God:
Problem of sin remains unsolved.
No infinite atonement → His death has no ultimate saving power.
Only an infinite, perfect being can bear the penalty for all humanity.
7. Impact on History and Civilization
Jesus split history (B.C./A.D.).
His teachings transformed the world:
Human rights, abolition of slavery, charity, education, hospitals.
Billions changed lives through Him → cannot be explained by myth alone.
8. Experiential Evidence
Billions testify to personal transformation.
Lives turned from addiction, violence, despair → hope, purpose, love.
Myriad documented miracles and supernatural answers to prayer.
9. Logical Elimination
C.S. Lewis’ Trilemma:
Jesus claimed to be God → 3 possibilities:
Liar – deliberate deception (but His life and teaching contradict this).
Lunatic – deluded (but wisdom of His words and moral perfection argue against insanity).
Lord – He is who He claimed to be.
The evidence eliminates 1 and 2 → leaving 3: Lord.
Final First Principles Summary
Premise 1: A transcendent, personal Creator exists.
Premise 2: If God exists, He can reveal Himself.
Premise 3: Jesus uniquely claimed divinity and validated it.
Premise 4: Resurrection is historically credible.
Conclusion: The simplest, most coherent explanation is that Jesus is God in the flesh.
