WRONG QUESTION, sorry.

I'm of the PLATONIC SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT, where one believes in the PERFECT FORMS for everything in this life. These FORMS simply exist, as does the TRIPARTITE SOUL of Platonic thought.

It's a theory of the IDEAL. For example, I can draw a triangle but it will always be imperfect, but there exists in the IDEAL REALM a perfect triangle.

--------------
Jesus, therefore, can't be changed, nor His words. His words and thought exist in perfect FORM in the IDEAL realm.

Connecting to the REALM OF THE IDEAL is the influence of Plato on Christianity.

Dump Plato, and all you've got are the historically questionable utterings of an itinerant preacher from Nazareth named, Joshua, a few years before the terrible destruction of Jerusalem.
