Christians have long pondered how to explain the gospel in a logical way. The nineteenth century Danish philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard, simply admitted that all religion, including the Christian religion, was illogical. In his Journals (1848), he wrote, "The problem is not to understand Christianity, but to understand that it cannot be understood." To assert that Eternal Being could and would take physical shape in time, and allow itself to die a terrible death, was the "absolute paradox" according to Kierkegaard. That one could be infinite and finite, eternal and temporal, God and man at the same time could only be impossible, illogical, and absurd - an "offense" to human understanding. . .
Syllogism #1
He began to exist at a particular time.
He existed prior to that time.
As it stands, the two premise statements are illogical. The only conclusion to be drawn is that they are logically contradictory. That one should begin to exist who had already existed impinges upon the logic of sequential time events and the commencement of existence within such time. . .
Many who call themselves "Christians" seem to be oblivious to and unconcerned about the fact that the character of their behavior is selfishly misrepresentation of Jesus Christ, and fails to manifest the "fruit of the Spirit."
