RE: INDUCING ARMAGEDDON via RELIGION
"Where did those people come from if Jesus isn't who he said he is and did the things he did?"
Couldn't it be by persuasion or fooling?

Where is the record of people saying they were being fooled? Jesus appeared to many many people, which is highly documented both in the Bible and in historical records like Josephus.
It's not like today, when if you say you're a Christian, people say, that's nice for you.
Nero was burning Christians alive for their faith and feeding them to the lions. This is the time period during which the eye witnesses were alive. Would you be burned alive or fed to lions, willingly, for something that you were unsure of?
This, still, wouldn't prove God's existence. Even if the miracles that Jesus performed was true, this doesn't validate, say, the moral principles nor afterlife described in the Bible.
Yes, but his death, burial and resurrection do prove the afterlife described in the Bible.
Another thing to look at are the hundreds of prophecies that were in the Old Testament books about the coming of the Messiah. Jesus perfectly fulfills these. The great news is, we have the dead sea scrolls which were found very recently in history and carbon dated to 500BC. That's 500 years before Jesus came and fulfilled the prophecies contained in those scriptures.
I agree that the New Testiment was written by believers and show how he fulfilled the prophesies but there are plenty of writings by Jewish Scholars that contradict how the messiah would reveal himself one specifically mentions that The Lord would never humble himself as Jesus did, if I remember correctly. But from a current modern day viewpoint, as I've said before, the Book of Revelations prophesies coming to pass will be proof enough for me because I once considered them impossible but now I see how they can come true. As outlined in this post.
Isaiah 53 is the best example of fulfillment of the old testament.
Yes I agree.
The Jews only recognize the first 5 books of the old testiment or the Torah.
