Was Jesus Crazy, a Con Man, or Actually God? The Trilemma Explained | Barriers to Belief

Jesus made some of the most outrageous claims in human history — that he was God, he existed before time & he could forgive sins. So what do we do with that? In this episode, Dr. Kristen Davis and Dr. Carey Walton break down the philosophical trilemma: if Jesus claimed to be God, he was either lying, deluded, or perhaps….he was telling the truth.  We explore: • The history of the trilemma (it predates C.S. Lewis) • Why Jesus doesn't fit the profile of a con man or a lunatic • The "legend" objection and why Lewis rejected it Why a “nice guy, good teacher” explanation doesn’t work   What accepting Jesus for who he actually claimed to be could change for you 📍 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts | Search "Barriers to Belief" 🌐 doubtlessfaith.com #WhoIsJesus #LiarLunaticOrLord #CSLewis #WasJesusReal #ChristianApologetics #BarriersToBeliefPodcast #PhilosophyOfReligion #FaithVsReason #JesusDebate #ChristianPodcast Recommended reading: Mere Christianity by CS Lewis Can I Really Trust the Bible by Barry Cooper The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel Why Jesus by Nicky Gumbel
