Quote:The conversation did not start with the burden of proof that he was perfect it started YOU saying its not possible because it contradicts the very definition. That's it. I answered the question and that's all I'm obligated to do.
More sophistry.
A philosphical question does not preclude the provision of physical proof,unless one happens to be a neo platonist. I reject the notion that truth can be revealed by reason alone,I demand evidence.
The statement there is god is a metaphysical question. Never the less,to accept the truth of the proposition I demand evidence. That a question may be unprovable or unfalsifiable is not my problem.
The claim that Jesus was perfect in his actions is in fact provable by observation. It is also falsifiable by observation of ONE imperfect act. I can think of one beauty off hand: His behaviour towards the money lenders was so wrong I've long though it was a later inclusion by some REALLY ignorant gentile. Be happy to explain it to you. Oh, I've also discussed this with a Rabbi at an on-line yeshiva.
Bored now,but my fault entirely. I should know better than to try to have a rational discussion with a presuppositional apologist. It's like playing chess with a pigeon;it knocks over the pieces,craps on the board and starts cooing in victory.
