Epimenides logic

[Archaea]

Titus 1:12-13:

1:12 εἶπέν τις ἐξ αὐτῶν ἴδιος αὐτῶν προφήτης Κρῆτες ἀεὶ ψεῦσται κακὰ θηρία γαστέρες ἀργαί 13 ἡ μαρτυρία αὕτη ἐστὶν ἀληθής δι' ἣν αἰτίαν ἔλεγχε αὐτοὺς ἀποτόμως ἵνα ὑγιαίνωσιν ἐν τῇ πίστει

All members of a group are liars, as stated by Cretans own prophet. Strange little item don't you think?

For creekster:

12It was one of them, their very own prophet, who said,
‘Cretans are always liars, vicious brutes, lazy gluttons.’
13That testimony is true. For this reason rebuke them sharply, so that they may become sound in the faith,

Remember Titus belongs to the Pastoral letters, written presumably by a disciple of Paul between 90 C.E., and 140 C.E.

Why didn't this get replies? Epimenides paradox is dang interesting.

One of Crete's own prophets has said it: 'Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons'. He has surely told the truth. -Titus, 1-12

Most do not find my posts interesting, but I post them nonetheless. Perhaps the stuff is too rudimentary for most, so they ignore them, laughing at the fool who posted them.

Maybe it's your delivery.
