The Trilemma Argument

The trilemma argument posits that Jesus' statements about his divinity leave three possibilities: he is either a liar, a lunatic, or indeed the Lord. This argument forces a critical examination of Jesus' identity and is often explored in discussions surrounding Christian theology. Critics, particularly atheists, sometimes reject the trilemma altogether, which can lead to the assertion that Jesus never even existed. Such skepticism raises the need for Christians to be informed about these objections, especially as many may lack a deep understanding of historical and mythological contexts relevant to their faith.
