Why Do Christians Believe That Jesus Was God?

Many people think that Jesus of Nazareth was just a good man, a wise teacher of morals, or even a prophet. But Christians go further, claiming he was God’s own son, stepping into space and time to show us what God was really like. Why do Christians believe this? What’s the evidence that Jesus was more than just another religious teacher? In this packed episode of Short Answers, we tackle arguably the most important question of all: who exactly was Jesus? (If you enjoy this Short Answers video, there are dozens more in the series covering almost every conceivable question).

Is Religion the Cause of Most Wars?

Religion is the main cause of wars, isn’t it? Some atheists certainly claim so. “Look at Israel/Palestine, Northern Ireland, ISIS, 911!” they say. In episode 34 of the SHORT/ANSWERS video series, I ask whether it’s true or not and explore an alternative solution that could get to the real heart of the problem.
