A logical fallacy is never good exegesis, no matter what the subject.
It is of UTMOST importance.
Saying it doesn't make it so.
Logical fallacies don't work because they are illogical.
Jesus, and the apostles, explained WHO Jesus is/was HUNDREDS of times ...... and NEVER ONCE did they explain even ONE tenet that is unique to either trinity or oneness.
Using a logical fallacy to defend your beliefs won't work here.
Again, you're making an argument from silence.
AND, you ignored the content Jesus HIMSELF explained.
Yeah ..... I'm well aware of the theory, and it's full of holes.
Saying it doesn't make it so.
For instance,
1) JESUS WAS ALREADY IN CONFLICT WITH THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS. Rome couldn't care less! THEY only got involved because the religious leaders FORCED them to.
Exactly. They got involved exactly when Jesus wanted them to, after 3 years of His earthly ministry.
I suggest you read through the Gospels again, and pay attention to the level of irritation of the religious leaders as the story progresses.
Had Jesus claimed to be God from the beginning, they would have put Him to death well before He was ready.
2) The religious leaders had already accused Jesus of "making himself equal with God".... so he had NOTHING to lose.
And what was their reaction to Him telling them that?
They were about to stone Him, because the penalty for blasphemy, as stated by GOD HIMSELF, was death.
Even on it's own, such a claim either makes Him a liar, in which case nothing He said should be trusted, and our faith is in vain, or He was God, and was not blaspheming.
So which is, it, Dart, was Jesus blaspheming God? Or was He God?
3) We have records of the apostles explaining who Jesus is/was to people who were outside of Israel, in some cases entirely pagan, and NOT ONCE do ANY of the apostles, or any other teacher in the Bible, explain a tenet that is unique to either trinity or oneness.
Once again, an argument from silence does not a valid argument make.
