Am I too harsh? What would Paul say about our day? Romans 5:1 Δικαιωθεντες ουν εκ πιστεως - The Impact of Such a Small Verse of Scripture One thing I have come to appreciate with James D. G. Dunn, aside from his enormous command of relevant sources (primary and secondary) is his readable yet...

The Backstory to Jesus’s Atonement While the New Testament can be gleaned (and ought to) for the basis of Jesus’s atonement, the theme itself, from the Early Jewish (were they Christian yet?) in the New Testament (hereafter NT) comes from their scriptures, the Old Testament (hereafter OT)...

The Greek Syntactical, Exegetical Analysis of Christ’s Atonement In the eyes of many, Jesus’s death on the cross was his failure because it got rid of him, and he never succeeded in his mission. I want to analyze his Atonement in the light of Greek syntactical exegesis of what the New...

How the Greek Conceptions of Logos can Elucidate John 1:1 Jesus as Logos John’s enigmatic opening of Jesus being the Logos, of course, causes a lot to be written about it because it is so unusual. I will add to that, lets get started. Since this is for the internet, I can’t get overly...

I just acquired today the ENTIRE 4 volume set of Joseph Dan's Magnificent "Jewish Mysticism" which is apparently near impossible to find now. He put them all together in 1999, and they are touted as one of the absolutely MUST HAVE sets discussing the esoteric aspects of Judaism and the place for...

Why Bother About Sacred Geometry? Mystery Brought to Light Change your attitude, and you change your life. This is literally real. And that goes both directions, make no mistake about it, for negative, derogatory life, feelings or failures or for the positive. Change your perspective and change...

I have been testing and am truly becoming more convinced and actually quite stunned into something I believe I have discovered. No, in all serious liklihood it is not new, at least not new to the Kabbalah rabbis, but something has opened up in me that is a possibility I have never before...

Joseph Smith and Rosicrucianism: The Idea of “Spirit”: Contrasting Esoterica Compared Though the modern Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has dumbed down, if not downright ignored discussing or analyzing, let alone attempting to explain the mysteries, it also doesn't bother anymore...

Jesus of the κοσμος: Helpful, Scintillating Notes on the Λογος (Logos) of John 1:1 The Gospel of John is not much like the other three Gospels in the New Testament (the Synoptics - as they pretty much look alike and are similar), and my surmise is due to the underlying thinking of John from...

God is the Magical Fool: Exegesis on Tarot Cards 0 and 1 in the Major Arcana The Tarot Cards are pictorial representations (symbols) of the energies of the universe. That would be the esoteric sense of them, unlike their cousins the regular 52 card deck you play Poker with. I am not so sure if...

I recognize this is one of my longer posts. It doesn't have to be read all at one setting. However, reading it I think will help give yet another perspective. I try not to allow myself so much time to type because it runs into page after page, but some things need fleshed out and expanded, and...
