I can't become a scholar. I lack the discipline. Besides where am I, a married man with kids and a thriving entertainment business, going to be trained in Samaritan studies in North America? I have dual citizenship. But still where the vocational training in this field? I probably could move anywhere here with my job and my job is brainless but still where should I go?

I give you full license to insult and brow beat me today. Got a contract for a big tour for 2014 - 2015. Very happy and secure today. Until the next problem

(not yet 'executed' or a 'corpse') and was only on the cross for a few hours out of one day, being taken down and entombed before sunset. 'Jesus' body according to the Gospels DID NOT remain on the 'tree' or 'cross' 'all night' and thus under a strict reading of The Law, never came under the curse of The Law, which only came into effect if the body was left on the 'tree' (Hebrew עץ 'atz' = "wood" of any shape or description, 'pole', 'branches', 'planks', 'gallows' etc.) 'all night'. Thus 'Paul' is making a leap that is not at all supported by The Torah, or by the Gospel accounts, when he claims that because 'Jesus' was on the 'tree'/'cross' he was or became 'accursed' of God, or 'was made a curse for us' based upon the curse of Deut 21:22-23. it being that according to the Gospels, 'Jesus' body was explicitly NOT left to hang on the 'tree' all night. There is no Gospel story where 'Jesus' ever hung on the 'tree' or 'cross' all night. From the FAITH perspective, either GOD HAS FAILED _to preserve and provide believers with the true account, the one where 'Jesus' is on the tree/cross 'ALL NIGHT', OR 'Apostle Paul' is in error, or is abusing and perverting the Scriptures. From my perspective, both are true. . |

The information I cite here is authoritative because it comes from the notes of my apprenticeship and training which I have kept and organized for myself and others. It's the information that matters not the posturing. Boid has only published one book and a handful of monographs but he is the best resource there is for Samaritanism - so Benny. Luckily for me, they both like being entertained. |

The forum is sub scholarly so my posting is entirely appropriate for the forum. You on the other hand often seem like a guy dressed in a tuxedo at a beach party.

By restraining my impulses to engage you in these nihilistic debates I am helping the forum
