Intricate Discussion Quite Useful, Well-Founded
(Apollonian, 26 Dec 15)

This was incredibly intricate, detailed discussion on a fine pt. of what's properly understood as literature. The whole pt. of New Test. is to deliver a theologic lesson to Pharisees and Jews who'd ruined the original Torah, Christ figure now re-stating and clarifying for folks, but esp. the Judeans (NOT NOT NOT NOT merely and only "Jews," defined as followers of Pharisees, according to Hoffman, Talmudical.blogspot.com).

Of course historical accuracy is necessary for good literature, but New Test. was not meant as history, except as precedent for New Test. theology. And the lesson of New Test. is to emphasize TRUTH (= Christ) IS ONLY WAY TO GOD, in accord w. most philosophic Gosp. JOHN 14:6. Equally important then is the philosophic lesson for emphasis upon OBJECTIVITY, hence Aristotle, as the necessary basis/premise/criterion for such truth.

Finally, the ethics follows fm truth and hence honesty, Christ teaching by example, showing the way, treating people as children, members of the flock, the leaders charged, as was St. Peter, w. "feeding" the "lambs" of Christ.

Hence the CORE of Christianity and its philosophy is that Christ = truth, and it's something anyone and everyone can easily agree upon. Presently we suffer fm "Tower of Babel" syndrome within a satanically hubristic society collapsing now among false prophets, the present Roman "Vatican" especially prominent among them. Thanks again for ur excellent discussion; it won't be lost for the many worthwhile pt.s u made and elucidated for us.
