It does not matter whether a syllogism deals with humans, angels, God, or anything else.

The terms in a syllogism are ABSOLUTELY IRRELEVANT to the issue of validity.

If you don’t understand that, then you have absolutely NO CLUE what logic is about. You have not understood PAGE ONE of any logic textbook.

We know.


Tell me which of the following syllogism are valid, and which are invalid. If you are capable of doing so, that will demonstrate that you can recognize the fallacy of the undistributed middle. If you can’t, you can’t.

A:

Dorothy is the mother of Sam.

Sam is a fireman.

Dorothy is the mother of a fireman.


Hi!! My mom's name is Jane!

Well Arthur I’m sorry I burst the bubble. But the first step is to define the particulars. You left out the biggest one of all. The Son of God is not a created being. He is the Creator. So my point still stands.

Unless you see John had it incorrectly, which I don’t believe you do.
