“but that story was a nineteenth-century invention,”
That statement has been debunked on FR many times.
So FR has no ideal about the Word or G_D or not very much else! Your point?
Well, no. Argued against, perhaps, but not debunked. I don’t really want to get into it here, since I was just commenting that this is not a “main stream” movie.
I read the Church Fathers on this pretty carefully, back some time ago. Of course there have been many recurrences of speculation about the End Times, but that particular story only gained ground in the nineteenth century. And then spread further fairly late in the twentieth century.
