Having recently become introduced to the internet pedophile world I have been so very excited at the new doors it has opened for me. I can't believe there are "others" out there like me. I Thank God for yahoo, and all the Boylove websites established. I also am a Catholic Christian, a convertof about two years now. I am currently in college and have been taking many theology classes as of late. Recently I took a class entitled "Noncanonical writings and their impact on early Christianity." That is where I discovered the Jesus that understands me, that he too can understand "the love that dare not speak it's name." During one session of the class we discussed the contoversial "Secret Book of Mark," (avaialble through "The Other Bible", by Willis Livingstone; and "The Secret Gospel of Mark," by Morton Smith.) I cannot tell you the overwhelming spiritualist feeling of that moment. I had always been keen on the passage in Mark about the boy that follows Jesus to his crucifixion (Mk. 14: 50-52), but when I read the secret book of Mark I was blown away. For those of that are familar with Clements Markan Fragment, I was wondering how you, as Christians and Boylovers, feel about this passage, both autheniticity wise, and your own spritual beliefs. For those of you who are not familar with the passage I will write it: A letter from the church father Clement to Theodore concerning the Proto Mark and it's use among the early Carpocratians: Excerpt One: "And they came into Bethany, and a woman was there whose brother had died. She knelt down in front of Jesus and said to him, "Son of David, have mercy on me." But the disciples rebuked her. And Jesus got angry and went with her into the garden where the tomb was. Just then a loud voice was heard from inside the tomb. Then Jesus went up and rolled the stone away from the entrance to the tomb. He went right in where the boy was, he struck out his hand and raised him up, after grabbing him by the hand. And the boy looked at Jesus, loved him, and began to beg to be with him. Then they left the tomb and went into the young mans house; incidentally, he was rich. Six days later Jesusgave him an order; and when evening had come, the boy went to him dressed only in a linen cloth. He spent that night with him, because Jesus taught him the mystery of God's domain. From there Jesus got up and returned to the other side of the Jordan." Excerpt Two: "The sister of the boy whom Jesus loved was there, along with his mother Salome, but Jesus refused to see them." Can lead to some pretty radical conclusions, I would like to hear yours, God Speed David |
