Non-historical; so, I am horrified by the following research paper, since I did not apply the correct hermeneutic framework. In other words, I did not understand the type of literature.
1. The New Testament texts intentionally (irreconcilably and repeatedly) contradict themselves.
2. The Greek word ἐπόπται mistranslated "eye witnesses" should actually be translated "initiators into mysteries"; in other words, Peter in 2 Peter 1:16 claims that he is not teaching you sophisticated non-historical stories, but that he is an explainer of the exact idea (mystery) itself behind all of these myths (the idea which focuses on the Exact Reflection).
3. This alternative interpretation (several, actually) illuminates the texts (and whole of human understanding) far better.
The guidance of the undergraduate dean at Cincinnati Christian University was - unless I am greatly mistaken - toward Dr. Wright, specifically his work in regard to the resurrection of a historical person...
The flippancy of throwing young people out into left or right field and telling them to fight the other side is terribly dangerous. I ended up with nothing at all. I lived under a bridge, and I worked a lot of overtime, saving up my money (while sleeping underneath the bridge). Everntually, fruitcakes - I guess - came and disrupted this... I found out later that a lot of people are getting killed by Smiley Face Killers, whoever they are. These people are dangerous. It's time that they grow up and understand what they're doing; they're the problem. People like me? I'll risk my life, but I'm not a glutton for the punishment that comes from following half brained ideas. Off a cliff.
(A Smiley Face was graffiti'd directly across from where I was sleeping, and I describe some more of this elsewhere in Memo. A recent conversation with the VP of Sporting at Bluegrass Supply Chain suggested to me that the graffiti'd smiley was supposed to be "flying." And he talked about how some look at where planes get hit and others look at where planes that don't return back to the camp get hit. I think that they're into "zip ties." I do support marriage, by the way. Let no one suggest otherwise. I thoroughly support marriage. Sigh.)
(Site manager and him and I sat down for a chat after I put in my resignation notice, which I subsequently have withdrawn. I am keeping an eye on Brexit.)
