I have love in both premises. There is no greater "jump" in my syllogism than his. But, of course, you are correct.
I am not serious. If I believed God was spinach, I wouldn't have been given membership here at the PB. I merely use this absurd syllogism to point out that the so-called locigal constructs of syllogistic reasoning are not always so cut and dried as we like to think.
I was a credo-baptist for about 28 years. Even as a credo I found this kind of argument from silence to be a stretch.
