| | + | ==Is Jesus good ''and'' wise?== |
| | | | |
| | + | |
| | + | *In the [[New Testament]], Jesus '''claimed''' to be the Divine Son of God who voluntarily gave His life as [[atonement]] for all sins. |
| | + | |
| | + | *A good person could make the claim but be mistaken or deluded, if so, this person cannot be wise because a truly wise person knows he cannot be divine. |
| | + | |
| | + | *A wise person could make the claim but then he cannot be good because a good person would not lie and say he is divine when he knows that he is not. |
| | + | |
| | + | Therefore, [[Jesus]] cannot be both good ''and'' wise unless He is exactly who He says He is: the Divine Son of God. |
| | + | |
| | + | '''Conclusion:''' A "trilemma" only exists if the first fact is rejected. |
