Noah way?

[BCP1928]

Out of obedience.

To whom?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

To whom?

Satan, obviously, and AV has it so that the Muses of classical mythology are inherently evil. Just because he says so.

 

[AV1611VET]

To whom?

Satan

Impressive.

You have a good memory.

I have a good memory for the farcical.

Aren't they also real too? Demons or angles or whomever the badguys are.

AV does consider them demons, yes.

 

[AV1611VET]

AV does consider them demons, yes.

Indeed.

And all nine of them answer to their boss: Satan.

In this case: Urania.

Walking the halls of academia.

So you say, Senor Quixote.

As a new college semester starts, many are on the lookout for ways to spend their free time and socialize. Dungeons & Dragons is often students' game of choice.

Doing nothing to helping your case at all, good Don.

It beats thinking John wrote Revelation as "a complex allegorical fantasy about the fall of Rome".

Something I don't think even you believe.

(Or do you?)

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

It doesn't, really.

Something I don't think even you believe.

(Or do you?)

Never even considered it, but looking at it and how Rome was THE WORLD at the time of the Bible and Christ, it makes some sense.

But that's the thing with allegory: just because someone sees something in it doesn't mean it's the truth.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

I don't doubt it makes some sense to you at all.

Understanding something does not mean you agree with it.

 

[AV1611VET]

Understanding something does not mean you agree with it.

Fair enough.

 

[2PhiloVoid]

Yeah. John creates a complex allegorical fantasy about the fall of Rome.

.... I wouldn't call it a fantasy. From my angle of interpretation, the book of Revelation appears historically cogent and relevant even to today's headlines, all that despite what someone like Bart Ehrman (or others like him) says otherwise.

The trouble with end times believers is that so many of them seem to be trying to hurry it along.

How can a not-quite-2000-year-old book be both "historically cogent" and relevant to today?

Ya -- it's called our ...

Do you know what this means:

Hebrews 4:12a For the word of God is quick,

That means It is alive.

From Webster's 1828 dictionary:

1. Primarily, alive; living; opposed to dead or unanimated; as quick flesh. (see Leviticus 13:10)

Meaning it is always up-to-date.
