DIVINITY OF CHRIST · MORAL UNIQUENESS
Only God Is Good (Luke)
The Tension
...Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
Analysis
Reiterating the uniqueness of God’s goodness establishes a clear difference. Jesus refuses divine-level praise, reinforcing the idea that he is not the deity.
Perspectives
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
They argue Jesus invites the questioner to recognise him as God.
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
Jesus clearly disassociates himself from the ultimate standard of goodness, attributing it to God alone, hence not identifying as God.
