Paul was not inspired !!

Paul was not inspired !!

Even one of their own Prophets has said, "Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons." This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of those who reject the truth. (Titus 1:12-14)

Who is this prophet Paul talking about? Let's find out via commentary and other sources 

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 12. - A prophet for even a prophet, A.V.; Cretan, s for the Cretinous, A.V.; idle gluttons for slow bellies, A.V. A prophet of their own; viz. Epimenides, a native either of Phaestus or of Cnossus in Crete, the original author of this line, which is also quoted by Callimachus. Epimenides is here called a prophet, not simply as a poet, but from his peculiar character as priest, bard, and seer.......

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

One of themselves, even a prophet of their own,.... This was Epimenides, in whose poems stand the words here cited; the apostle rightly calls him "one of themselves", since he was a Cretian by birth, of the city of Gnossus; 

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

12. One—Epimenides of Phæstus, or Gnossus, in Crete, about 600. He was sent for to purify Athens from its pollution occasioned by Cylon. He was regarded as a diviner and prophet. The words here are taken probably from his treatise "concerning oracles."........

Epimenides was a Cretan who said: "All Cretans are liars". In the books which deal with logic this statement is called Epimenides' Paradox. And quite surprisingly, you find in the book of Titus 
------------------------------

NOW THAT WE KNOW WHO THIS PROPHET IS LETS HIT PAUL WITH A SUCKER-PUNCH !!!!

One of the interesting things is that Paul quote the Epimenides' Paradox, specifying that the speaker himself was a Cretan. "Cretans are always liars..." he then says that the man himself spoke the truth. But when the statement is spoken by a Cretan it is definitely not true. If it was true then at least once, a Cretan was not a liar, in which case the statement is false. The conclusion is the denial of the assumption, so the statement is not true. The writer Paul at least on this occasion, was without Divine Guidance

IN SHORT PAUL QUOTED A CRETAN WHO HIMSELF SAID ALL CRETANS ARE LIARS, DOESNT THAT ALSO MAKE HIM A LIAR? YET PAUL SAID HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH HOW ABSURD!!! PAUL WAS NOT INSPIRED IN ANY WAY...

SHAME SHAME!!!!
