I like they way he puts it. Jesus knew he was the son of God and said so. And we know he was being truthful because he is the son of God. It's like what I said in the Apologetics forum. This argument presents its own proof. Why cant the atheists see this?

Can you find any verses where Jesus is the son of God? I thought He was the Son of God.
Can you find any verses where Jesus said that is considered proof just claiming He is God? Others can claim they are God, but does that make them God?
William Lane Craig already explained that. And we know that Jesus is telling the truth because the word of God cannot be wrong.

Craig already explained what? Craig never said that Jesus is God because the 66 books can't be wrong.Originally Posted by Dare2beFaithful
Craig is an evidentialist, not a presuppositionalist. He provided 3 proofs which must all be true to prove God of the Bible: 1) Jesus must claim to be God; 2) origin of the disciples belief in the resurrection and no naturalistic explanation fits the data to explain it away; and 3) salvation is not by works lest any man should boast, for a sinner can't save himself. As soon as one sin enters it leads to death. Game over, unless God provides a solution.
If any one of these 3 items fails to supply sufficient evidence by backing them up with logic, best explanatory scope, the highest standard for historical inquiry, multiple and diverse groups of eyewitness testimony, clarity of conscience and proper basic beliefs then Christianity is a lie.
God drawing a person without our resisting, but responding to God's call to receive the intuitive revelation of the Holy Spirit, does not depend on the inerrancy of Scripture but would have to agree with the essentials for salvation. For example, if only 22,000 were in the exodus and not 2,000,000, that poses no problem.
I think I worded things wrong. I Only wanted to reinforce the point, not argue with it.

You're funny. I don't think you worded it wrong, but really did say what you meant, reinforcing and arguing the point though it is incorrect: "William Lane Craig already explained that. And we know that Jesus is telling the truth because the word of God cannot be wrong." We know Jesus is telling the truth, not because He said so, but because He proved so by the multiple attestation in various group settings for eyewitnesses of His resurrection.
