“But the argument is still unsound, because the first premise is false: there are other unmentioned alternatives, for example, that Jesus as described in the gospels is a legendary figure, so that the trilemma is false as it stands.” FirstsStillsReligionJesusFiguresExampleArgumentAlternativesPremisesLegendary Author:William Lane Craig
“A lot of arguments happen among religious and non religious people about the question of who's going to hell and who's going to heaven and uh, a lot of times Christians get into this argument by saying 'we have the only way to heaven.' And uh, people often ask me what do I think is the way to heaven. I have a problem when they ask me this question because it assumes that the primary purpose of Jesus' coming and the primary message of Jesus was a message about how to get to heaven.” PeopleThinkingWayProblemHappensChristianPurposeAsksJesusHeavenReligiousHellMessagesArgumentAssumingPrimariesAsk MeGoing To HeavenNon Religious Author:Brian D.

“Major Greene this evening fell into some conversation with me about the Divinity and satisfaction of Jesus Christ. All the argument he advanced was, "that a mere creature or finite being could not make satisfaction to infinite justice for any crimes," and that "these things are very mysterious." Thus mystery is made a convenient cover for absurdity.” MadeWisdomJesusChristJusticeMysteryCrimeConversationCreaturesMajorsJesus ChristArgumentInfiniteMereSatisfactionMysteriousEveningDivinityAbsurdityFiniteConvenient Book:Diary and Autobiography of John Adams: Diary, 1755-1770 Source: Diary and Autobiography of John Adams: Diary, 1755-1770
