Don't be a dunce Tack. That's not why the issue is paradoxical, it's simply why you'll never understand it. You're looking for the answer to a question faithfully believing that there -is- an answer to the question, even though the question is fundamentally malformed as a consequence of history and as an issue of faith, positively intended not to be subject to resolution.
The nature of christ is paradox by design. If you think that you've resolved it, in addition to the weirdness above...you're getting christianity wrong...and it's massively ironic, though not entirely unpredictable, that it takes an antitheist to inform you of this fact. Honestly, I think that your own private faith can only be improved by acceptance, in this regard, rather than argument. It's just a sideline benefit that acceptance would provide you with the means to defang criticism on that count going forward. I'm tossing a drowning man a rope...and he's angrily rejecting it, like a common doubter sinking under the waves in the sea of galilee.....imputing the motivations and means of the person extending that help. More than anything else, that's what disappoints me about contemporary jesusism.
There actually is a brand of christer belief that leans into the shit I say. WTF is wrong with the rest of you? Any christian faith that depends on my being a craven liar and wrong in in every particular is dead before arrival. My ultimate aim is not to compelling argue against your beliefs, but to whittle your beliefs into something I can't argue against. I think....that christians would have something relevant to say about human nature if they could contain themselves...it's only because they can't that they don't.
It may be true or it may be false, but, ultimately, I'm a better friend to the idea of christ than christians are, lol.
