		<description><![CDATA[Jeffrey, words escape me. Thank you. Its good to know someone so completely and intimately understands. There is nothing more exciting than knowing your readers are catching the smaller nuances you have thrown into the text :)

&quot;Whenever something doesn’t make sense, theologians invent a word for it. That way, whenever someone realizes it doesn’t make sense, they can say “well that’s because you don’t understand insert large word.”

Well Jeffrey, you only say this because you don&#039;t understand &lt;em&gt;theology&lt;/em&gt;.

		<description><![CDATA[&gt;He fulfilled everything in the Law, and even was a Nazarene!

Oh, I love it.  Had I read this line two years ago, I would have thought you were poking fun at the reasoning of &quot;less informed&quot; Christians.  No, no, no.  You are poking fun at the logic &lt;i&gt;of the Bible&lt;/i&gt;.  &quot;Less informed&quot; Christians make the mistake of trusting Matthew to be a legitimate source of knowledge about the Old Testament.

&gt;eschatology, which is a fancy word theologians like to use when they don’t want really want to talk about the subject

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;the inspired Septuagint he did not know yet existed in a passage that had nothing to do with the Messiah and in a poor translation of the Hebrew word “young women” into the Greek word for “virgin” which miraculously was what the Holy Spirit meant in the first place).&quot;

that made me laugh so hard i almost wizzed. almost... 

and you forgot the part where you&#039;re supposed to bath in the blood of this sinless person... and when Jesus comes back we&#039;re supposed to slit him open and take a shower. and Jesus better come back soon, we&#039;re running out of blood.

oh... and to do a little advertising, evangelizing as we put it in the business, ever since i switched to &quot;Blood of the Lamb&quot; my whites have never been whiter!]]></description>
