Besides, he pilfers from Plato...(ducks)
No need to duck, I'll play along: How does Jesus pilfer from Plato? It would seem, at least to me, that Jesus pilfered (understandably so) from the Hebrew scriptures, which Jesus claimed testified about him.
If you only examine Jesus' statements against Plato's, some similarities would appear. But if you take Jesus' statements and compare them to the Old Testament (in other words, taking a "holistic view" of the Bible), you'll find that Jesus' teachings were pilfered from the scriptures of his day.
If the Bible claims to have been ultimately written by a single author (God), you have to use a holistic approach and examine and compare it to itself in order to understand what it is saying. It’s the Bible’s holistic cohesion that testifies that it is from God.
