Re: Why the historical Jesus matters

For the record, the words “deep and universal” are not Andrew’s, but come from a prior post which itself cited to another source. The prior post was mine.

What the post-modern and others want to be able to say is that there are no universalt truths. This in itself is a universal statement and therefor sets up a logical contradiction and is an invalid or untrue statement. The best that can be said is that some statements are universal and some are not. I don’t mind if someone were to say that the number of universal statements is zero.

No problem for post-moderns since the response is “why be logical?” Who made up the rules of logic anyway, and why should “I” follow them. Well, an argument for another day.
