A jury has to decide whom they believe. Not very different to anything regarding faith and witnesses. Either way the choice is the individuals. You choose whom and what you believe.
And, in both instances, we could all benefit from a better educated, less credulous populace...
It wouldn't... the oath in court says " I swear by Almighty God" it would hypocritical to accept an oath sworn by Almighty God then throw out the belief Jesus was real.
No-one is required to swear, it's perfectly acceptable to make an affirmation instead. You could view it as hypocrisy, I see at as one of the ironic idiosyncracies of the history of the British judiciary, but it is amusing that the rules that govern the evidence delivered within the trial don't cover the confirmations made as part of the ritual.
Nevertheless, whether hypocrisy or just irony, testimony equivalent to the Gospels would almost certainly be deemed inadmissible as hearsay in a trial.
It is a fact that a third of the world accept Christ as real. So by that fact alone they could not throw out that Christ actually was real.
A third? A third might or might not personally identify as Christian, certainly a significant portion of that third probably accept the idea - that means that two thirds of the world don't accept the claims. If you're making the logically invalid argument from popular opinion you're losing anyway.
Was he the Son of God? The question that everyone wants to know the answer to.
I suspect the bulk of the world don't think about it very much at all. A third of the world would love to know what they believe is true, but that doesn't mean they want to know THE answer, they want to know AN answer.
But not one everyone would act on.
On the contrary, if it were somehow proven to be the case every rational person in the world would act on it.
More importantly... does believing in Christ bring people into a relationship with God?
Maybe, though it seems unlikely. Certainly if other religious views are correct believing in Christ takes you further away from God, or gods, or Nirvana, or...
Maybe you understand not the weight and measure of who Jesus Christ is.
Or maybe I get exactly the weight and measure of it, and you don't?
Given what the power of his name still produces throughout the world, you would be a fool to think no truth to it.
The same can be said of Allah, and yet the two are mutually incompatible. Given that at least one group of millions can be wrong, what reason do we have not to think that both groups of millions could be wrong?
The evidence that people are still healed in his name suggests you are wrong.
Because you never look for evidence do you?
On the contrary, those claims have been extensively researched, and at best the result is that there's no clear evidence. Time and again purported miracles have been revealed to be commonplace events, natural course of diseases or outright fraud.
Why doesn't God heal amputees?
