> I am not suggesting that Mankind "is" Knowledge 'per se'
Look, David, I'm not (I hope) trying to be nasty here, but just what the
frelk are we talking about?
The Johannine Gospel was easily the most Greek-Platonised (and latest
written) of the Four Gospels, and while it's barely posssible to match
Matthew/Mark/Luke together, it's virtually impossible to match John with
anything except Revelations.
Late Platonist texts, both of them, Gnostic influenced.
> and that Man was created in the image of God as found
> in the Genesis account,
WHICH bloody Genesis account? Given that even the OT is a smasgobard of
Rabbinical and Priestly Texts, even before you hit the problem of which
sodding text (excuse my french) you use, you're smash into what god said.
Did he say what the Alexandrian Greek Jewish translators in 300 AD said he
said in the Septuagint or the original Hebrew?
Then we come to the New Testament.
What exactly are The Literal Words of God?
Oh, I suppose the obvious answer here is that The Authentic Words of God are
the terms used in the KJV [1612] (assisted by Shakespeare on the translation
of Psalm 36).
... right, Robin, keep your temper -- I really *amn't* (I hope) so much
getting at David as I really don't have the least bloody +idea+ of what the
*grounds* of this argument are.
Could someone *please* clarify this for me?
Till then, it seems to me, this is an argument (as Sam Johnson said) between
a flea and a louse.
Sorry, this is close to becoming a bit Personally Abusive, but this really
is beginning to do my head in.
Until someone manages to even *marginally* clarify this argument (on either
side), me back to the teapot.
