No offence, but those Christians would be wrong. A paradox is a paradox is a paradox, eternally untrue. Even gods can't break logic.
No, it would not. Three things being the same thing is not three different modes at three different times.
A paradox does not mean something cannot be true. It means there is something unexplainable. Wow...
Ahh... The old ice, water, steam explanation...
There is an epidemic in the world today. People are not open to the possibility of being in error. They hold their beliefs within a clenched fist, unwilling and therefore unable to see possible errors in their respected ideaologies.It is not until individuals are willing to place their beliefs on the choping block of critical scrutiny and rigorous examination that error can be hacked up and tossed in the fire of falsehood, and truth can be given the opportunity to prove and demonstrate it's ability to withstand the fiercest stike. As people of God, we should be the ones who set the bar high for this type of radical intellectual integrity.
Your analogy begs to differ: the H[sub]2[/sub]O molecule is one thing being in three different modes (gaseous vapour, liquid water, and solid ice) at three different times. Hence why your analogy implies a Modalist belief, which I did not think you had, and hence why I said your analogy was flawed: it implied the wrong thing.
You're wrong, but I'm not interested in getting into a semantic debate with you.
Logic is logic is logic. Even God cannot square the circle.
That doesn't mean the "true nature of God" is paradoxical.
That's the beauty of logic: it does give us absolute knowledge. If something has been proven, we can say with absolute certainty that it is true.
You keep talking as it there's two forms of logic: ours and God's. What makes you think this? Is it just a way to save your theology?
Which says nothing about the point in hand.
Two ad hominems, two appeals to ridicule, and a rather blatant strawman. Any other fallacies you like to throw in?
Which is why proof is so powerful: if something has been proven to be true, it is true, and we can say this 100% certainty. Note that true proof is different from proof beyond all reasonable doubt (which is the case for, say, atomic theory, and the theory of common descent).
An expectation that can easily be disproven by way of contradiction: "Are there absolute truths?"
And since when are you a people of God? You don't set the bar very high, I'm afraid.
Sorry, but your speech does not change the name of the thread.
Hey, imagine that, three things with three roles being separate from each other.... yet still God. Just like water, steam, ice... yet they are still water.
Who says you don't have a beaker with ice, water, and steam sitting on the same table? You assume too much about the analogy to make that stretch.
Hence why you are again making assumptions.
Um, if all three premises lead to a conclusion and one premise denies the possibility of B=C, then one cannot reach the conclusion that B=C using all three premises (and the conclusion is dependent on all three premises).
Really? What if Jesus in that passage was one of those illusion things where one angle you look and see Jesus, one angle you see a lion, and another you see a lamb? What then?
