Thanks for your “feeble, shallow and blathering” reply, its a shining example of the old adage, “Fawning and fake humility are a lethal combination.”
“If you can follow theological arguments in profound detail reading Aquinas or Origen et al, then you would know that your fav Origen believed that Peter wrote the letters”
It is not certain what Origen believed in this matter. He mentioned the doubts of others on the authorship of 2 Peter, but he did not make an unequivocal judgement on it himself. Some independent commentators suggest he may not have had enough evidence to able to decide either way. He, at least, was honest.
“I am pleased that you know you at least these " hard to be understood " side of Paul’s theology and revelation he received”
Nice evasion. Totally avoided any comment on the unpleasant claims I presented and disregarded my question yet again.
“I am vindicated then, for earlier typing that Apostle Paul was a misunderstood man.”
I think you share some of the less enviable traits with Paul.
“As for Apostle Peter, he had the first serve, but when he was being busy rationalising, shuffling his feet and dilly-dallying, he got passed over.”
Peter got passed over, along with the original teachings of Jesus, because he was a Jew. Paul sought every opportunity to criticise him because he was jealous of his position as the publicly acknowledged and real life Christ-appointed First Apostle. Paul was a argumentative self-centred psychopath who had nothing more than an unwitnessed conversion on a remote section of the Damascus road as his only credentials to apostleship. It was Barnabas’s misplace faith in him that got him some grudging acceptance with the real apostles. And even then the bonehead had a falling out with Barnabas not long after. He was a disputatious fanatic. It’s evident in his actions and words if one could step back from the sanctimonious fanboy infatuation of him. Even the rest of the Jerusalem apostles tended to keep him at arms reach. Paul even prided himself that he didn’t really get to meet or even know most of them in happy joyous Christian fellowship.
The eventual Jewish/Christian split was a violent event. It marked the beginning of overt Christian antisemitism. During the Jewish war with Rome, the Gentile Christians embraced the Pauline doctrine and predictably enough, sided with the Empire, who destroyed the Temple and after the Edict of Milan, militarised the Christian dominionist quest that furthered the persecution of the Jews and the other Greek and Roman religions and culture.
“I apologise, if this is how you see or imagine things, but trust me, I read, and went through with a fine-tooth comb, every alphabet letter, text, dotted “i”, crossed “t” commas, full stop and sentence(s) you wrote about Apostle Paul.”
And still you failed to comprehend it well enough to see 2 Peter was obviously not going to provide an appropriate answer. Unbelievable. No, I do not trust you.
“I am pleased with both Apostles and their works,”
How magnanimously condescending of you. I expect they will be delighted to hear.
“it is you having reservation about Apostle Paul, not me”
I’ve never made a secret of this. How observant of you, but, ok, finally! After how many posts? The penny drops. Fine-tooth combs indeed. I have more than reservations about Paul. The unwelcomed psychopath subverted the original Christian doctrine of Jesus and his views on faith are dishonest ramblings of a guy who had a physical conversion, that is, he was convinced he actually met his god, who struck him blind. How does faith play a part in that? You can’t answer, which brings us to your next lie:
“Too late, I already had.”
You never answered any question. I would still be waiting had I not dropped the request.
“I find it amusing to the point of even liking how you drop names, how you drop years, switching from " 40 years ago " to " many years " and now to " fifty years " You are fantabulous. You are doing well. Lol”
I don’t find anything remotely amusing about the number of unreasonable insults you’ve dealt me. It reveals a most dislikable aspect of your personality.
And then this final Parthian shot, quibbling over the number of years, as if it carried any real significance. Pathetic. Naming dropping? Pertinent references to historical figures? It’s not like I claim Origen as my personal best buddy forever. You’re an idiot. This sad tawdry reply of yours only serves to illustrate what I had observed of you from the beginning; a penchant to avoid matters of substance and a despicable use of petty criticisms to cover your self-satisfied pious arse.
I will be looking out for more inane posts from you in the future.
