On its way.

And received faster than a priest shifted to another parish. Thanks again.

The cassock-wearing perverts do have that move down, don't they?

It's their standard reply to Bishop takes Altarboy.

Interesting take on things....I've got to think about this one a bit more.

Quote:I proposed a number of years ago that Tacitus originally wrote that Nero sent the Procurator Porcius Festus to put down the Christians/Chrestians.

Christian interpolators, misunderstanding, changed it to Pontius Pilate, and they changed Chrestus to Christ and Nero to Tiberius.

Thus the original read:
Quote:
Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite punishments on a class hated for their disgraceful acts, called Chrestians by the populace. Chrestus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty (i.e., Crucifixion) during the reign of Nero at the hands of one of our procurators, Porcius Festus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their center and become popular.

Note what Josephus (book 20:8.10) says about the procurator Porcius Festus whom Nero sent:
Quote:
10. Upon Festus’s coming into Judea, it happened that Judea was afflicted by the robbers, while all the villages were set on fire, and plundered by them. And then it was that the sicarii, as they were called, who were robbers, grew numerous. They made use of small swords, not much different in length from the Persian acinacae, but somewhat crooked, and like the Roman sicae, [or sickles,] as they were called; and from these weapons these robbers got their denomination; and with these weapons they slew a great many; for they mingled themselves among the multitude at their festivals, when they were come up in crowds from all parts to the city to worship God, as we said before, and easily slew those that they had a mind to slay. They also came frequently upon the villages belonging to their enemies, with their weapons, and plundered them, and set them on fire. So Festus sent forces, both horsemen and footmen, to fall upon those that had been seduced by a certain impostor, who promised them deliverance and freedom from the miseries they were under, if they would but follow him as far as the wilderness. Accordingly, those forces that were sent destroyed both him that had deluded them, and those that were his followers also.

I'll violate the necro-posting rule because this post fits with the prior discussion and I don't feel like re-capping the whole damn thing.

Quote:When one investigates the earliest explicit references to "Christian" in the earliest sources of the common era, one comes away empty handed. The earliest evidence is dominated by the occurrence of the term "Chrestian", as is tabulated below. In the Greek language the word Christian is χριστιανος, while the word Chrestian is χρηστιανος. In the Greek manuscript sources which are presented below, the eta (η) invariably occurs instead of the iota (ι).

An interesting writing from the middle 5th century AD in Dalmatia.

Quote:The inscription ordains the payment of a fine to the church chest if another body is placed in that tomb:

HIC REQVIESCIT IN PACE DVION ANCILLA BA
LENTE SE SPONSA DEXTRI DEPOSITA EST III
IDVS SEPTB CONSVLATV DN THEODOSIO

RO PER DEVM ET PER LEGES CRESTEANOR
VT QVICVMQVE EXTRANEVS VOLVERIT AL

ECLESIE CATOLICE SAL AVR III
- Cemetery of Salona in Dalmatia (430 CE).

Adjuro per Deum et per leges crestianorum - I charge by God and by the law of the Chrestians...that he who dares to place there another body pay Ecclesiae Catholicae Salonitanae aureos III." (three gold pieces).

Hmm.... well Dalmatia was a long way from Rome and things were quickly going to shit in the 5th century. As the Marines say, "there's always one poor dumb son of a bitch who doesn't get the word."

You are forgiven, my son. Pay your respect to the priest.

Bless you, father. Do you want me to turn around and bend over?
