  • Clearly the lord is omnipresent....but was banned by the 'authorities' around 1300 years ago from being present in lying or lunacy or being within those stricken by them.  But Jesus' ministry was clearly prior to the 1300 year boundary stone, therefore he is the lord even if he was a lying lunatic.

  • This is a great comment, Cashify !

  • Their "hidden assumption" is that the OR's are XOR's rather than ordinary disjunctions. Thus, they have a premise (without a consequent). Then, they assume the TRUTH of the premise, axiomatically, which is just flat-out bogus.

  • Yes! The OR's are really XOR's.

    I am very glad you see that.

  • Jesus- liar, lunatic, lord, or LIBELED. Given the abundant inconsistencies in the gospels, the habits of ancient biographers, and what the early Christians had at stake, I'd definitely say the put words into Jesus' mouth. Yep, CS Lewis left one option out.

  • I was having the same flashbacks !

  • And I yours. :)

  • You always help me, beauty.

    I love the way your mind works.

  • Cimbolic, my love: going back to the Bible text behind the C.S. Lewis quip: Christ CLAIMED to be the Lord over 400 times. No offense, but only a bad scholar would not know that.

    Now, either He is or is not. If untrue, He's lying or crazy. But if true...then it's a question of ADMITTING His Claim.

    How one GETS to that admittance, is a separate process which the CS Lewis quip doesn't eliminate, imo.

    So 3 variables, not merely P&Q. :)

    Did that help?

  • Exactly what criggster says.

    I agree with you both.
