How would Socrates apply is dialectic in questioning Jesus Christ?

Question

What would be discussed between Socrates and Jesus ? What kind of questions do you think one would have for the other ?

I'm sorry about the typo. I should have put a h in front of is. So the question is:
How would Socrates apply HIS dialectic in questioning Jesus Christ ?

Answer 1

Socrates
Good morning, Jesus, I have heard much of your marvelous teachings. In my own modest way I am a philosopher here in Athens. I am told you have great wisdom and certainly that is indicated by the throng of admirers that follow you through the streets. If you have a few moments to spare, I would appreciate it if you would enlighten me with the answers to some of the puzzling problems I have been wrestling with all my life

Jesus
I am as a fisher of men in my search for followers. I bring the truth of God to all men. Seek and you shall find, ask and it shall be answered knock and it shall be open unto to thee.

Socrates
There is one basic question that has always been uppermost in my mind. Although it has always been an insurmountable obstacle to me in my search for the truth and meaning, I am sure that with your learning you will find it far to easy and think me a foolish old man. I have always longed to live honorably and nobly, but it seems that I have merely stumbled through life without even even knowing what was honorable or noble. With my limited understanding, it often seems to me that life, even with all its sound and fury, really signifies nothing. Please tell me: How should a man live; what is the purpose of life.

Answer 2

As Socrates only appears as a character in a play by Plato, and left no writes, teachings, etc. it is difficult to know what he would say in such a discussion. Many scholars do note believe that Socrates was even a real person. Rather we was a fictional character created by Plato, and in the play parrots Plato's own ideas and philosophy.

A discussion between Jesus and Plato would be interesting. Several of Plato's concepts, including the idea of the "logos" (or word of God) are echoed in the New Testament.

Answer 3

Jesus imitated Socrates hi did exactly the same thing preach the same love his country and their gods and Socrates loved aspasia Jesus love Magdalene and both had symposiums exempt the Cristian's called last super and the wending and feeding 5000 n pone thing Socrates did do go to Punjab to learn tricks to believe him he was very prudent..

Answer 4

I am not sure. But I imagine that someone will be able to answer that question later . (Later) when computers are improved by thoughtwave technology, and infra-red photography and audio technology, we will be able to synchronize the events and thoughts of two people in the past and create a virtual conversation between them.

Someone will come after me with that technology or insight and then please give him the credit.

Answer 5

One of the two: they'd either end up pulling each other's hair out, or hand in hand to a bottle of beer in some nasty-smelling pub.

Answer 6

Very interesting question! Probably I would say : Is heaven really heaven, is hell really hell...............
