"Creflo Dollar" is quite possible the most evangelical-rear end name imaginable

i remember when i first heard his name, the chick i was dating was explaining how loving crazy this poo poo gets in the deep south, and i accused her of screwing with me when she dropped that name

and if you can't enjoy the whole complex of Syriac/Nestorian/Indian Christianity at least as an impressive web of influences over time and cultures, well, loosen up

thomas twin theology is batshit + rad

i personally think there's a lot of under-explored influence there from valentinian gnosticism (or related), but that's just me

For myself, the most important thing I learned during this election season is to never trust anything. Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. And when I say that, I mean it. Sure, you can show me all of these lists of links, however, upon further inspection, they're full of poo poo like this girl who faked her crying to appease to Congress which helped contribute to the Gulf War. It's kinda like how an individual who was raised around a cult neighborhood and finally started questioning it. Now I still believe in a lot of what the liberals believe in such as social equality, however, my positions have became much more moderate and centrist.
Anyways, I'm still working on this post. However, it will become better. Promise.

on the one hand the Ethiopic, or first, enoch was (along with the also :krad: Book of Jubilees) just sitting there in literally nigh-every Bible in the Ethiopian Empire while white folks cast about searching after this "lost" work that's referenced repeatedly in the Canon they had, so i like that it adds to the whole motif of Ethiopia having at all times poo poo that europe really really wishes it could find

(like whether or not it was the first artifact to be understood as the ark of the covenant, they almost assuredly have the last artifact to be generally regarded by Christendom as the ark)

but on the other hand the Slavonic/second enoch is magnificent and definitely my personal favorite for a lot of reasons of structure, theology, and cultural poo poo embedded all over it. plus, you usually get bonus Melchizedek content in print translations of it, and that's good :catdrugs: poo poo

and i love enoch/metatron matter as much as anyone and more than many, but if third enoch is your favorite then :gb2gbs:
