...there's no hidden agenda with your beliefs. :-) I suppose I should probably be frothing at the mouth because of the blasphemous things you've uttered, but somehow, I just can't bring myself to condemn you. I wonder, though. Doesn't it seem a tad presumptuous that you dictate the terms by which Christ relates to you? By picking one aspect of your rich and varied self, and saying that Christ must conform to that, aren't you in effect creating God in your own image? I'm also curious about where in the canonical gospel of Mark you find mention of a "boy" that followed Jesus around. The only thing I can think of is the neaniskoV mentioned in Mark 14:51, but according to Bauer, Arndt, Gingrich, and Danker in A Greek - English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, this refers to someone between the ages of about 24 to 40. But let's continue to talk! Dirk |
