Looks like your doing the deflecting!  I did ask you what your opinion was and not what some guys on Wiki thought.



I didn't have an opinion, so to gain some information, I did some research and found that the overwhelming consensus was the above. That's how rational people gain knowledge, not from just one book of fairy tales. So once again, can you answer my question without deflecting for a third time?

To answer your question there are about 2.4 billion Christians in the world, just over 31% of the population of the world which is about 7.5 billion people (source Wiki).

Now I don't expect all to believe in Jesus Christ but 2.4 billion people surely cannot be wrong.

By that evidence 5.1 billion people are not Christians, so yes. 2.4 billion people can be wrong. By the same logic 5.1 billion people can’t be wrong.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

That isn't answering the question I posed you in the slightest, and simply shows the backwards logic religions rely on! As has already been pointed out, there are far FAR more non Christians than Christians, so by *YOUR OWN LOGIC* they cannot be wrong.
You've again tried to deflect so this will be my last post replying to you as, like every other Christian I've ever talked to, when they get a question they can't answer, they revert to type and deflect. Because they know they have no answers that make any sense.

You were the one looking to Wiki for answers, just thought I'd help you.

Islam has nearly 2 billion believers, nearly 25% of the world's population, who also believe in Jesus Christ. Together with those of the Christian faith that's over 50% of the world's population.

These figures are not a deflection, but the truth in his life.

Coldplay have sold over 80m albums. Yes, the masses can be wrong.

How many of them of that 50% even think of Jesus every day, never mind pray to him or some other religious act? There's probably more Man Utd fans in this country than there are practising Christians.

Josephus made reference to Jesus in 2 of his books:-

The first and most extensive reference to Jesus in the Antiquities, found in Book 18, states that Jesus was the Messiah and a wise teacher who was crucified by Pontius Pilate

Modern scholarship has largely acknowledged the authenticity of the second reference to Jesus in the Antiquities, found in Book 20, Chapter 9, which mentions "the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James."

Also the Roman historian did the same Tacitus did the same:-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacitus_on_Christ

Both of these are non-Biblical references to the existence of Christ. Hope this helps you.

This is why I don't belong to any Christian organisation.
