Just because a claim about Jesus sounds nonsensical doesn't make it fictional. Just because a claim about Jesus seems illogical doesn't make it impossible. For example, consider His Resurrection (Lu. 24:11) and His Coming (2 Pet. 3:4-9).
Consider the bumblebee. From what we know about aerodynamics, it shouldn't be able to fly. Of course, we know it does. If we can allow that the bumblebee flies, although it defies logic, can't we allow for the claims of Jesus?
"No," you say? How is it, then, that you have one standard for the physical and natural yet a different standard for the supernatural? The problem is that you don't want Jesus' claim to be true! (If the claim is true, then you're exposed and things will have to change.)
When it comes to the claims of Jesus, are you being intellectually honest?
