Christian/Muslim ThreadsDeismBefore you suggest us to wake up, you have to take the blinders off first. Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. It always strikes me that people do not grasp, is it a rhetorical question? Jesus is not saying he is not good, is He? Jesus is pointing out that if he is 100% good, he is God, for only God is perfect in goodness. “Why asketh thou concerning that which is good? “The young ruler was probably sincere and not using mere fulsome compliment, but Jesus challenges him to define his attitude towards him as was proper. Did he mean “good” (agathos) in the absolute sense as applied to God? The language is not a disclaiming of deity on the part of Jesus. Still, Mark and Luke give the question in the form of the Common Version as here; hence we are justified in adhering to the text as above. Some have seen in these words of Christ an affirmation that he was not divine. To these, Stier replies: "Either there is none good but God, Christ is good, therefore Christ is God; or, there is none good but God, Christ is not God, therefore Christ is not good." There is no answer to these syllogisms but to deny the sinlessness of Christ. |
