lord, liar or lunatic? C.S. Lewis again...

In his famous book Mere Christianity, Lewis makes this statement, "A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on the level with a man who says he is a poached egg - or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us."


And thus, the argument...The Trilemma.

so...here is a bit of Lewis, and the Trilemma.



Philosophers will use logic equations...to disassemble the argument. I rather think this is not a good place to go. Logic...although helpful does not explain the divine. No argument can prove that Christ was divine...and no argument can prove he wasn't. So where does that leave us?

Faith...and a sense of the divine. You either have it...or you do not.
