\"spock-illogical\"Minister Jeremy Myers asks: “Did Jesus Learn?<\/a>“<\/strong> (HT: James McGrath<\/a> on Facebook)<\/p>\n

Great post. One favorite bit:<\/p>\n

At one point in our discussion, I said, \u201cWell, it seems logical that if Jesus was fully human, then He had to learn.\u201d Their response was, \u201cI don\u2019t use logic. I just use Scripture.<\/strong>\u201d I just about broke out laughing. It seemed pretty obvious to me that logic was not being used. Ha! One guy also kept saying, \u201cI don\u2019t speculate about Scripture. I just believe what it says.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, “logic” (really, human reasoning ability) was<\/em> being used… just not well! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

In any case, he answers the question of the post affirmatively.<\/p>\n

I agree with Jeremy<\/strong> that according to the New Testament, Jesus learned. Any theory about Jesus must incorporate this fact. And<\/em> while he was doing that, there were truths he did not know<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But that gives rise to this argument:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. God is eternally omniscient.<\/li>\n
  2. Necessarily, a omniscient being knows all truths; there is at no time a truth that an omniscient being (who exists at that time) does not know.<\/li>\n
  3. Jesus, at times, did not know<\/a> certain truths.<\/li>\n
  4. Therefore, Jesus is not eternally omniscient. (2, 3)<\/li>\n
  5. Therefore, Jesus is not God.\u00a0 (1, 4)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I would say, in evaluation of this argument:<\/p>\n
