Re: Brain calls Jesus a liar, without proof?
All I can say is I don't want to be around you when the lightning strikes. To say Jesus is a liar is shaky ground to be on. If you read a few verses later, it says in Matthew 17 that Peter James and John saw the Transfigured Jesus before their own eyes. Read the whole chapter, it explains a lot.
Enjoy

​
It's fair to ask why a prediction made by a purportedly infallible person does not appear to have come true.
​
I would agree that to label the person a liar is presumptuous and unnecessarily inflammatory. Logically, though, telling a deliberate falsehood would be one of the possibilities.
​
Other possibilities exist. The person could have been mistaken, for example, or might never have made the statement at all.
​
Please refer to the thread mentioned above (Original Post by Legend) where these possibilities are explored.
