This article was posted back in April in general/chat, but it is so timely and important, I thought it should be posted again in News.

Hope you agree?;-)

It’s from 1993, but this is the second time I’ve seen it reposted online within the last year or so.

"Hope you agree?"

Yes, I do. It is a very well developed argument.

One interesting tangent shooting off from Preager's observation that Jews would not have considered an unmarried Rabbi to have the necessary gravitas to be a leader of a congregation is what to make of Christ.

I can see a number of interpretations:

1. His unmarried status may explain, to some extent, why the religious hierarchy took a dim view of His teachings.

2. Being Devine Himself, He did not require a mate to increase His holiness.

3. Jesus represents an evolutionary step in monotheism that transcends the Old Testament conscriptions.

Nevertheless, I think, this is a very thoughtful essay.
