A fascinating and eloquent letter, and interesting that he uses the 'holocaust' word in 1937. I just had to google that and it seems Dachau concentration camp opened in 1933 and boycotts etc of Jewish owned businesses etc, and setting up of Gestapo also began that year. So I guess it may have been in the wind though whether the word itself was in use at that stage, I don't know. That said, I feel he was using the word in a wider context.

It didn't go unnoticed either according to his available personnel records. He was immediately earmarked for leadership when he arrived 'and should develop into a sound Company Commander with more theoretical training'. He was killed just over a month later. Such is war.

The gospels are absolutely not "first hand eye witness accounts", anymore than Boris' fake book about Shakespeare is. They're written in Greek FFS.

On the other hand, they're not mysticism - that's the bits after the gospels. So I think we can all agree there were mistakes on both sides and it's time to move on.

Gospel of John is full of mysticism, it's even referred to as the mystic gospel. Luke and Matthew are both rewrites of Mark with their own magical add ons, nativity resurrection etc and we're both written a good bit after the life of Jesus. Mark is the only one close to what you could describe as 'eye witness'. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Feb 22, 2023 |

Isn't saying "There’s nothing mystical about the gospels." a form of blasphemy against the Spirit itself, as recorded in Matthew 12:30-32, Mark 3:28-30, Luke 12:8-10, and 1 John 5:16 as the only unpardonable and eternal sin unto death? There is a Tim unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

Simplistically put the Bible is meditation literature written in a style that isn't really used now, if at all. It contains books of history, poetry, law and prophecy and is meant to be read many times and understood altogether, making it very difficult to pick out different parts in isolation and say they categorically mean this or that. To read it as wholly literal shows a lot of ignorance about what it is as a text, let alone as a spiritual text, however to announce that "various bits don't seem to line up and others are clearly nonsense therefore I have disproven it" is also pretty ignorant and buys entirely into the myth of progress. Ancient Jewish scholars didn't believe in talking snakes either. If folk are serious about actually wanting to understand the Bible without reading a hundred theology textbooks I would recommend The Bible Project podcast - an in depth academic look at various biblical themes - its tone is quite neutral but is presented primarily by a believing professor of Abrahamic languages. It's not afraid to look at very weird parts of the Bible which can be amusing regardless of your viewpoint, you know like that time Noah got drunk and his son seems to rape him. Sceptics may prefer The Liturgists podcast which is primarily focused on deconstruction - ie they mainly try to unpick the text and although there are believers involved they treat it as quite a human document. Our own Ask/Tell religion thread is also pretty good nowadays, the dickheads mainly seem to have pissed off to that other site. The Wicked ZOGA posted:Fim Tarron Quite.
