Mohammed in the "Gospel" of Barnabas - ZOT for the Theologians

[parakletos]

The GREAT PROPHET MOHAMMED was mentioned by name in the forgotten gospel of Barnabas,who was one of the disciples of THE GREAT PROPHET JESUS CHRIST.

The gospel is here: www.barnabas.net/

in the aforementioned site,make a search for the word "mohammed".

heres a sample: from part 97

Then said the priest: `How shall the Messiah be called, and what sign shall reveal his coming?'

Jesus answered: `The name of the Messiah is admirable, for God himself gave him the name when he had created his soul, and placed it in a celestial splendour. God said: "Wait Mohammed; for thy sake I will to create paradise, the world, and a great multitude of creatures, whereof I make thee a present, insomuch that whoso bless thee shall be blessed, and whoso shall curse thee shall be accursed. When I shall send thee into the world I shall send thee as my messenger of salvation, and thy word shall be true, insomuch that heaven and earth shall fail, but thy faith shall never fail." Mohammed is his blessed name.'

Then the crowd lifted up their voices, saying: `O God, send us thy messenger: O Mohammed, come quickly for the salvation of the world!'

what do you think?

Yeah, and the good ones are being replaced with asses!

I always worry I might be one of those "replacements."

To tell you the truth, sometimes I will read the next day what I posted in anger the night before and am a little embarrassed (although I never directly insult, I do post some dripping sarcasm).

It can be so frustrating on the Crevo threads, since otherwise good and intelligent people become willfully ignorant Luddites.

And when people post Biblical scripture as a(n irrefutable) replacement for science and logic, how can one not worry?

I like a good flame war meself! One of them responded to me just now. (Pity it's getting late over here...)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yes, true.

Well, at least Right Wing Professor has gotten himself the zot...

"... there is nothing like a bare knuckled brawl every now and again ..."

That may be true and entertaining, but just to keep things on an even keel here on the Undead Thread, I always post messages from a position of unassailable rectitude.

"Rectum? Damn near killed 'em!"

Wow -- RWP is gone?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yes... I remember that joke...

Please don't have her awakened like the original sleeping beauty. I try to be open minded but necrophilia is just nasty!

(And what were my parents thinking giving me that book?)

[freedumb2003]

The classics never fail ;)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yup!

Well, with "arm of the cart" and "up his hole" in the same sentence - you can't go wrong! ;)

These lessons could be less expensive if I would plan better.

Are you on city water and sewer?

[freedumb2003]

Wow -- and you never know what they said to get nailes, since the AMs almost always zap the offending post.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

One of them responded to me just now.

Well if you have insomnia come back. Guaranteed to put you to sleep.

Every year on Holloween, Bill Handel (KFI640) does a bit: "Necrophelia, the victimless crime"

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You are our anchor. Our pillar of responsibility.

BTW I am buying your last book so Amazon should be sending you a check soon.

"Please don't have her awakened like the original sleeping beauty."

In the original, it was a spell. She wasn't dead. Necrophilia had nothing to do with it.

But while we are on the subject, I like my Brother's take on it ... "History does not record what procedures the Handsome Prince may have tried before stumbling upon the simple expedient of a kiss ..."

Anyway, my "Sleeping Beaty" resides in a "Whitebox", the local slang for a suspended animation chamber. A kiss wouldn't do the trick. Therein lies a part of the story.

You Blong!

You are not to worry.
