Truth or Lie

Truth or Lie?
The Apostle Peter writes,
“We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.  
For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”  
We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain. 2 Peter 1:16-18.
Peter makes it clear here that what he and the other apostles are preaching are not “cleverly invented stories”, it is the truth. Peter himself was there when voice came heaven saying of Jesus, “This is my Son whom I love; with him I am well pleased”.
In writing this he is saying to the reader you either believe me, or you do not. There is no middle ground.
If you believe what Peter has written then you must believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
If you do not believe Peter then Peter is a lying, as are all the writers of the New Testament.
Not only that they have perpetuated what has to be the greatest lie in human history. For close to three billion people in the world today believe Jesus is the Son of God, the Saviour of mankind as did millions if not billions of people from the days of Peter to the present.
Thus the choice comes down to you the reader. Who do you believe Jesus is, Son of God, and Saviour of mankind or not?
The choice is yours.
Please think about it.
