Q&A Home > C > Cretans

• I took a math course that contained an entire chapter about 2 verses in the Holy Book of Titus. Verses 12 and 13 say, "One of them, a prophet of their own, said, 'Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.' This testimony is true." My professor says that since a Cretan prophet is saying that all Cretans are always liars, being a Cretan himself, the prophet cannot tell the truth, therefore all Cretans cannot be liars. I know that the Holy Bible is infallible. Although I don't quite understand how this fits into the category of "math" but how would you respond to this?
