Your worldview is so unique that no philosopher has ever considered it? So you're neither an atheist, agnostic, nor a believer? You don’t have thoughts on whether all there is “matter”, or if there are non-physical realities? You don’t have thoughts on the origins of logic, and how we can know something is truly true? etc?

Jesus is the preexisting 'logos', the one who IS (the necessary being), he's not just a person in time and space, though he is also that (Most credible relevant historians and scholars of antiquity accept that Jesus existed as a historical person. I’ve seen you suggest otherwise in other posts, so you’re incorrect about this. He existed.) 

The Greeks knew and contemplated the ‘Logos’, and the first words in the Gospel of John present Jesus as the Logos: ‘In the beginning was the Logos’. i.e., one of the prime beliefs of Christianity is that the Logos ‘incarnated’ and became flesh and bone.

Now I’m digressing, but my point is that I’m taking a step back (to go forward with you) and asking you to examine your presuppositions: you assume every day that logic and reason are a reliable means of navigating the world. Why is that? And why is it that our mind corresponds (in this regard) so well to the observable universe?

Once we unpack this together, we can move forward unless you don’t have an answer to the question or, quite simply, don’t want to answer it (why?).

I’ll put it another way: you BELIEVE reason is reliable, you’ve never PROVED that it is, you BELIEVE that logic is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and that it will always be so, but you’ve never proved that to yourself, in any sort of empirical way. Am I wrong in saying this? If so, explain.

Because what I’m driving at is, you believe in the preexisting Logos/Reason, and you’ve never questioned it. Prove to me that I’m wrong, because if you can’t, I’m proving to you that you believe in something that has no empirical verifiability, just like “God” (classically understood), so now God is a possibility, and Jesus is “downstream” (so to say).
