Or so it has been claimed by some.

I was asked to start a thread to discuss this issue by someone who claimed that "Christianity is 100% true".
Care to elaborate?

The Qur'an is also 100% true fact as well.

I thought you were going to prove that "Christianity is 100% true".
A copy and paste job does no such thing. Plus no link.

When it comes to Jesus, one finds a very curious thing about Him—He claimed to be God in the flesh. Jesus own words (e.g., “Before Abraham was born I AM”), His actions (e.g., forgiving sins, accepting worship), His sinless and miraculous life (which He used to prove His truth claims over opposing claims), and His resurrection all support His claims to be God. The New Testament writers affirm this fact over and over again in their writings.
"Claims" are not PROOF. Resurrection is not PROVEN. You can not use the bible to prove that the bible is true. Sorry.

Now, if Jesus is God,
IF. BIG IF. Again no proof.

Please try again.

You forgot to link to your chop job.

Did Jesus really exist? Is there any historical evidence of Jesus Christ?

^^ What does it matter if it's "copy & paste"? How do you know who is behind that site, it could be me? It's still a valid source.

It has been over 2,000 years' old; so any "claims" and history must therefore be invalid?!
Regardless whether Jesus was God or not; there are plenty of evidence of his existence, and his philosophy should be followed by everyone. It's part of faith to believe in Him. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not yet seen me."

Bible is a valid source, it's history. Why can't the Bible be a valid source, but every other non-religious history book can be?!

Against TOS to copy and paste an entire article without linking to the original.

depends on how and what your intentions are. Just listing the claims individually and addressing each claim's validity. I don't know anything that is "100% true", so no it isn't. Trying to have a set of rules that best match the society in which you live? I guess that is as true as anything else. "love and compassion" as the base is mostly true. All love is bad. That's true too. The problem is that it also as false as the particular human trying to describe it.

Very confusing for me. I would say it is 100% humanity. "humanity" is as perfect as a rock.

do you need it 100% true or its invalid?

Age of a book does not make the book contents true.

I can claim that vampires are real, because there are books about vampires. Are you going to believe that is "100% true"?
