Oh.. O.K.. ((( Smiles )))

I understand what I'm doing wrong now..
On the message board I've been on for years..
It goes in a straight line downward...
You answer under the last post...
Old habits die hard..
So I can click on the ones up above too..
I just didn't want you to be confused by my post..
Got it..
I like the BAR, the ruins and the archaeology finds are real
interesting and there is still a lot more they haven't dug
up yet.. Some things are lost to history burnt or stolen..
Or just in ruins.. Or off limits to dig or look for..
Ah.. Where Samuel Crowned Israels first king..
What a fortress.. historical and archaeological evidence identifies the site as Bibical Mizpah, where Samuel assembled
" all Israel " and annointed Saul as king..
They keep just digging them up..

But the varities of Christianty..
The Christian religion has never been one uniformed, homogenous thing.
From the beginning there has been a variety within the church.
The acts of the Apostles described a split within the earliest Jerusalem church -- between " Hellenists "
(Greek speaking Jews, opposed to the temple)
and " Hebrews" (represented by the Twelve) Acts 6-7..

And went on to list Acts 11:20, Romans 10:14, Galatians 3:28
and Pauls dispute with Peter and Barnabas in Antioch
(Galatians 2)

Then later Christology became an issue the view called Docetism after the Greek word dokein an issue reflected here..
(1 John 4:2)..
And in the fourth and fifth centuries it was settled by decisions made in ecumenical council of bishops..

I haven't read this whole issue yet in full..
But it does say in this issue..

While it is true that, in the Gosple of Judas, only Judas knows Jesus, Judas has the knowledge only because he, Judas, is a demon----
daimon in the coptic text..
No Hero here..
Demons recognize Jesus as the "Son of God "
{Matthew 8:29) ( Mark 1:34) ( Luke 4:41)
They know who He is....

Enough of Gnosticism 101..
It tires me out...
You too???
Must be the demons...
But the new edition is not yet avaliable for sale but has
been made available to the media..
A reaction to scholarly criticism it seems..
A revised edition..

I guess when it comes out it will be published in here too.. Whatever..
