Re: The Qualities of a Divinely Inclined Person.....

The problem with your analysis, Bob, is that it is superficial and incomplete. It is possible, and I think necessary, to become a better reader. These Gospels are novels . They are mental environments created by a narrator: the first level of narrator is 'the author' but there is an even more inside...

Re: The Qualities of a Divinely Inclined Person.....

The problem with David's poem is that he has NO COMPREHENSION of the Gospels. In his 'poem' he implies that they killed him because he was preaching a David-like message (and if anyone actually grasps David's message please send me the Reader's Digest version. I've been reading him for years now and...

Re: The Qualities of a Divinely Inclined Person.....

It seems to me that 'scripture', the term, is just to vague. Also, there is absolutely no clear guidance offered in 'Christian scripture' as to the correct way of living, or even a clear sense of what the goal of human life is. There is really no way (that I am aware) to make sense of that statement...

Re: The Qualities of a Divinely Inclined Person.....

Indeed, where else can he be? Where else?! This 'soul's longing to be free of the rowing' is a very interesting question. Surely we recognize that with this desire/longing we are linked to a core message within religious and scriptural writing, to traditions of transcendence. At the same time we al...

Re: The Qualities of a Divinely Inclined Person.....

I think that what makes Blake important and considerable is his decision to, essentially, make the most of his existence. I think and feel it is the only 'real' choice we have. I am not adverse to hearing what you have to say, but if it is simply to repeat 'It is empty and meaningless' I don't know...
