Its the convincing that is the trick, isn't it? I can't do it, only God can open the eyes of a man's heart. But know this - when the time comes for you to understand, you will be able to see it clearly.

Mine are the eyes that are are open.

That's why you can't see clearly - all that nasty light slinks in.

In the other gospels Jesus did not say he was the Son of God, he replied to the effect "it is you who say it".

John 9:39-41 'And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind." Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, "We are not blind too, are we?" Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.'

The Pharisees were convinced they knew God's ways, and yet they killed God's Son - who had did no evil and was not worthy of death. But this death was planned by God before the world was founded, so that those who would believe in His Son would have their sins removed forever.

I am not lying to you.

So the Pharisees are the agents of God? Cool - does anyone want to buy my cool temple souvenirs? Holy bling for all!

If you have to like music like that to get into heaven, it looks like I'll be cooking smores with Satan for an eternity.

You aren't, but the bible is lying to you!

Damn, how many bleeding biblebashers do we have around this place, just waiting to jump out and be really, really annoying...

So these Pharisees are Christians then.

You will need a bit more than this to convince me.

Now taking orders for turning water into wine (useful for Xmas), making two loaves and five sardines feed Niger, raising the dead (handy in politics) and speaking to invisible beings in the desert....
