Epimenides' Paradox

[Paul Younan]

Paul was cracking a joke. I fail to see the significance of this.

The point is that Paul fell into the Paradox. Never would a man inspired by God fall into such a trap.

Who said he was inspired of God? And what is "inspiration?"

Paul was a leader of the community writing a letter to a congregation....he was not a prophet who yelled "Thus saith the LORD." He neither claimed to be a prophet, nor did he ever say that God was dictating what he was writing.

Likewise, the Gospels are 2 personal accounts (in the age-old Semitic tradition of "2 or 3 witnesses"), and two non-personal accounts, of what happened during the ministry of Jesus.

The Church of the East are not like Muslims, who believe their holy books to be the literal "word-for-word" word of Alaha. Not even Jews believe that, except for the first five books of the OT.

You are basing your argument against beliefs held by some Evangelical American Christian groups....but remember, I'm not part of that movement.
