Thirst-Quencer: "Who is Jesus?"

Does Jesus exist? If so, isn't He just another good man? Could He be more than a notable man in history?
For starters, 99% of historians will tell you that a man named Jesus of Nazareth lived and died. But if this man existed, how could he come back from the dead? No man that was simply "good," throughout all history resurrected.
Then you also wonder if the Bible is valid... Simon Greenleaf, A Harvard professor and at the time an atheist, tried to disprove the Bible's validity and ended up finding it to be the most sound book in existence. Yet, the evidence is backed up outside of scripture, for example, Josephus, a historian of that time, ironically not a Christian either, writes that a man called Jesus lived, was crucified, and came back to life. Reason this, Jesus clearly had to have existed because there is more evidence for Him than most people in history that lived before 1800. If Jesus lived, since He claimed to be God, He was either a liar, a lunatic, or Lord since no "simply good" man claims to be God. So if Jesus was a liar or a lunatic, how could He come back from the dead? Perhaps, Jesus didn't actually die and was swooned back to life... But if you think that, try whipping a person 39 times with a cat of 9 tails, forcing them to walk a mile in a half carrying a heavy tree uphill, nail them to that tree, leave them in the sun for 9 hours, then wrap them in linen with no food or water and tell me if they are alive 3 days later. On second thought, don't try it, that would be murder... So I'll also tell you that Jesus was speared in the side and blood and water flowed mingled down as if His heart had ruptured. So there's fairly conclusive evidence that Jesus died. Therefore, to find the truth, simply examine whether or not Jesus resurrected. The evidence will determine whether He is God. However, I'll let you find that on your own or post it later, The information on the Resurrection account is kind of extensive...
