Default Closing Of ErrancyWiki And Merger With Messianic Apologetic

Closing Of ErrancyWiki And Merger With Messianic Apologetic

JW:
A few weeks ago I saw Mel Gibson's Jesus' movie (forgot
the name), re-read The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus
Christ
and meditated on the traditional moral authority of the Church.
For the first time I understood how a mythical story of Jesus suffering for a few hours on a
stake thousands of years ago explained the reason for the historical fact of most of my
innocent relatives being tortured and murdered over a 5 year period
by Nazis from a Christian country.

My good friend, Rabbi Singer, head of Outreach Judaism, had the exact same
experience so we began to study JP Holding's website, Tektonics.org,
together while periodically rereading Isaiah Chapter 53 in light of the
new information which this website provided us and avoiding all articles by
Dr. Richard Carrier. It wasn't long before we found the truth that we were
looking for, that Jesus Christ was the prophesied Jewish Messiah according
to the Tanakh. Hallelujah Amen.

Effective immediately ErrancyWiki will be closed and then merged with
Messianic Apologetic as an evangelistic tool.

Joe, you have the same middle name as Hitler.

The sixth Lubavicher Rebbe was convinced the Holocaust signalled the coming of the Messiah (plus or minus 2000 years I guess).

Jesus Christ Superstar is far superior to The Passion of the Christ, they tell essentially the same story.

I clicked on the wiki link and was surprised to learn that the overwhelming evidence for fine tuning for life in the universe also was a factor for the above mentioned notice.

Hi Joe,

This is terrible news. I'm terribly distraught.
After reading this, I pulled my hair and put on sackcloth and ashes. Well, I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do with the ashes. Are they supposed to go on your face or hair or just on the sackcloth? In any case, like Mordocai (Esther 4:1), I went out into the city and wailed and cried. Well, actually, I went into my garage and played an old Bob Dylan CD, which is sort of the same thing.

As Nietzsche said, ""A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything."

Warmly,

Philosopher Jay

Oh Joe! It's time to update this recycled April Fools' Joke. After all, a good April Fools prank needs to be apparently serious, not so incredible as to give the joke away. I mean, the idea of anyone being taken in by JP Holding!

For example, consider Barbie doll as ordained Episcopal Priest (I mean, I hope this is a joke. But I can't find any indication that Beauty Tips for Ministers is satire.)

And the ultimate April Fools Joke
Quote:
Another explanation of the origins of April Fools' Day was provided by Joseph Boskin, a professor of history at Boston University. He explained that the practice began during the reign of Constantine, when a group of court jesters and fools told the Roman emperor that they could do a better job of running the empire. Constantine, amused, allowed a jester named Kugel to be king for one day. Kugel passed an edict calling for absurdity on that day, and the custom became an annual event.

"In a way," explained Prof. Boskin, "it was a very serious day. In those times fools were really wise men. It was the role of jesters to put things in perspective with humor."

This explanation was brought to the public's attention in an Associated Press article printed by many newspapers in 1983. There was only one catch: Boskin made the whole thing up. It took a couple of weeks for the AP to realize that they'd been victims of an April Fools' joke themselves.
