Mark 10:
If you are not God, then you are not good. By contrapositive,
⇒ If you are good, then you are God. —P1
Jesus declares in John 10:
P1: If you are good, then you are God.
P2: Jesus is good.
Therefore, Jesus is God. At least that was Jesus' implication in Mark 10:18.
Let's analyze this according to first-order logic. The following is Jesus' logical process:17 As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do so that I may inherit eternal life?” 18 But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.
If you are not God, then you are not good. By contrapositive,
⇒ If you are good, then you are God. —P1
Jesus declares in John 10:
Jesus said that he was good. —P211 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
P1: If you are good, then you are God.
P2: Jesus is good.
Therefore, Jesus is God. At least that was Jesus' implication in Mark 10:18.
