Well... For school I had to read an excerpt from a book titled Between Heaven and Hell by Peter Kreeft. The premise is simple enough, Kreeft is proving Jesus is God using logic (and C.S. Lewis, Kennedy, and Huxley) to do it.
The three men I mentioned are caught in limbo (in between heaven and hell) and have a lively discussion (or debate) Kennedy (who's a catholic) makes a point that Jesus was a good moral teacher but not the Son of God. Lewis refutes with simple connect the dot's logic
Simple right? Jesus can only be 4 things, he can be the Son of God, or he can be a raving lunatic (the Divinity Complex) or he is just a bad man, or he is a good man. The only logical one he cannot be is the 4th, and if you think he is the 2nd or 3rd you are not a Christian. The reason he was not the 2nd or 3rd is that he is someone considered a Sage. What the Sages were, were men who had spiritual insight or wisdom into the human heart or character. They were considered the wisest and best men who ever lived. Examples are: Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Moses, Socrates, etc. Everybody can be summed up into 4 classes of people. The normal men: the average Joe, The Sages: see above, The normal men who claimed to be God: AKA lunatics, and The Sages who claimed to be God: Jesus. It's easy to see that the bad men and lunatics are all on the normal people side, whereas the Sages were the holy or wise ones. This makes Jesus a good man and a sane one. Therefore: if Jesus existed, he must be the Son of God, and we already have records and things of Jesus existing :)
Bam: Logic
