Greatest Horror Moments Childhood Terrors
Seriously-this is every childhood horror in one children's musical demon!
"Wizard of Oz" Wicked Witch of the West
"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" Slugworth
FEAR OF MONSTERS
Everyone went through this phase and for some, they still tuck their legs up under the blanket and pull their arms from the edges of the bed when they go to sleep out of an ancient unchallenged fear.
There's been plenty of portrayals in movies. The one above shows the kid in the movie "Poltergeist" being pulled under his bed by a feared toy in his room-the clown doll. Most people shutter when they encounter clowns, but clown dolls combine two fears into one; fear of clowns/fear of dolls.
In the 1989 movie "Little Monsters," starring Fred Savage (our favorite little "Wonder Years" kid), had a more pleasant twist to the story. A boy meets the monster under his bed and makes friends with him, joining him and a world of monsters that exist under the beds of children.
Sometimes referred to as the Bogeyman, Wikipedia has this to say about the legend, "The bogeyman (also spelled boogyman, bogyman, boogieman, boogey monster) is a legendary ghost-like monster. The bogeyman has no specific appearance and conceptions of the monster can vary drastically even from household to household within the same community; in many cases, he simply has no set appearance in the mind of a child, but is just an amorphous embodiment of terror. Bogeyman can be used metaphorically to denote a person or thing of which someone has an irrational fear. Parents often say that if their child is naughty, the bogeyman will get them, in an effort to make them behave...The bogeyman legend may originate from Scotland, where such creatures are sometimes called bogles, boggarts, or boggers... In some places, the concept has him hiding under the bed or in the closet and tickles children when they go to sleep at night."
The legend of the monster under the bed is also a close competitor with the "monster in the closet" syndrome. How many of you had to close your closet door to sleep at night? Think you heard things rattling in there? Watched the doorknob to see if it was jiggling? Of course, the movie "Poltergeist" also jumped on that fear of the monster in the closet syndrome when they had the little girl sucked right into the portal inside the dreaded closet.
My monster under the bed had the webbed paws of the monster from "The Creature from the Black Lagoon." The skin would have been leathery and the grip would have claws on the tips of his webbed fingers. The more I imagined the flick of a claw against my ankle when I was sitting up, I would eagerly dive into the covers and pull them up. The rest of the monster to me was something I never imagined because all I could concentrate on was the kinds of hands that would grip me, not where they would take me or what I would encounter below.
What protected me from the monster under the bed? Having the covers completely over me. Sometimes, a bit of air was necessary, and that was allowed from the top near the headboard. During the night, if I awakened with a hand draped over the side of the bed or a foot dangling, I'd have to bring it back up. I also lined up my stuffed animals around the edge of the bed so they looked outward and protected me all night while I slept.
Although I was over the monster fear by the time I was about seven, I had a lot of friends who held onto the monster longer. Why do children get this fear? Well, you turn out the lights and they can't see what's out there. To a child, they don't have the logic to understand that what's there in the light will be there in the dark and nothing changes. It takes some time for children to get an understanding of that concept. Admittedly, I tended to be a bit counterphobic. At the point that the monster died for me, I had become so frustrated by accepting that there was a monster down there without question, that I climbed out of bed, crawled under it and laid there waiting. Nothing happened except I found out the underneath of my bed was dusty and made me sneeze a lot. In retrospect, that might have been the first sign I would hunt ghosts and do a lot of debunking in the future.
Eventually, we get rid of the fear of the monster under the bed or in the closet, but we might just transfer that to fear of a burglar while we're sleeping. Sleep is, after all, a very vulnerable and unconscious time.
FEAR OF THE DARK
NYCTOPHOBIA- Fear of darkness or night
We have it when we are usually 2-3 years old and possess an imagination at that point, but too young to understand that imagination isn't real.
Still, as adults, those who love horror movies know something else that ties back to those years of fear of the dark, that we can imagine something scary and react to it, heart beating, palms sweating, jumping and hiding.
"Technically, do we ever learn to distinguish imagination from real threat?" Here's just some movies about the dark that might make you wonder....

Mi6 And The Dubai Assassination
On 19th February 2010, we learn that 'Britain knew in advance about the Mossad hit' on Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai and we wonder if MI6 was involved in the Hamas assassination.
According to sources quoted by the Daily Mail, MI6 knew in advance that Mossad were going to carry out an 'overseas operation' using fake British passports.
"Officials in the Gulf state have claimed that British ministers may have been alerted by Dubai last month about the use of the passports." (Mossad-agents-murder-plot.u)
Events will "fuel suspicions in some Arab countries that Britain was 'complicit' in the killing of al-Mabhouh." (Hamas assassination.)
Some people think that Mossad, MI6 and the CIA are trying to destabilise Dubai.
Dubai's aim is to make money from helping Iran to beat sanctions.
"Now the Americans (or the Israelis - you can take your pick) want to turn Dubai into the Beirut of the Gulf. That was actually a headline last week - in The Jerusalem Post, of course - which painted Dubai as dangerous as it was economically calamitous." (Robert Fisk: Passport to the truth in Dubai remains secret )
15th flr view of Dubai Author jensimon7
In 1956 Israel and Britain formed a joint plot to attack Egypt. (aangirfan: BRITAIN TRIED TO HELP ISRAEL STEAL TERRITORY)
In 1956, Israel wanted an excuse to seize the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula.
Israel held secret talks with Britain and France.
The UK Prime Minister, Sir Anthony Eden, agreed to an illegal joint attack on Egypt.
Documents (Sir Anthony Eden's cabinet discussed concealing Suez 'collusion.) released after more than 50 years show: the UK Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden's cabinet discussed how to lie to the public and the world about the secret pact with France and Israel to seize Egypt's Suez canal in 1956.
"At Gamil airport, a young Egyptian... was seized by the British, who wanted to know the whereabouts of Egyptian arms stores. He later claimed that one of his eyes was cut out by a British interrogation officer... and the other eye taken out later when he refused to broadcast propaganda for the allies..." (http://news.independent.co.uk/world/politics/story.jsp?story=368408
Reportedly, MI6 has a long history of involvement in assassinations.
Richard M Bennett, in Asia Times, June 2003, made the following points about the UK security services and assassinations
1. In the early 1970s Rafael Eitan, head of the Mossad hit-squad known as the 'Kidon', toured Northern Ireland and the Special Air Services (SAS) base in Hereford, England.
Shortly after his visit there were big changes in UK security policy, including the setting up of what was to become the Force Reconnaissance Unit (FRU).
The FRU was involved in the targeting of Irish Republicans for assassination by death squads. The FRU may have been involved in the de Menezes killing.
NOTE: Nathaniel Mayer Victor Rothschild was very influential within the UK security services. (aangirfan: MI5 and MI6.)
Edward Heath in 1970 made Rothschild the head of the government's Central Policy Review Staff.
In the book" 'The Fifth Man', by Roland Perry, Pan Books London 1994," Roland Perry puts the case that Rothschild was a major spy who helped Israel.
According to ex-KGB Colonel 'F' and KGB officer Yuri Modin, Rothschild was the key to much of the penetration of British Intelligence.
2. Mossad's Kidon hit-team assassinated two Palestinians terrorists in London. (Asia Times)
One was found dead in his London hotel room. The second fell under the wheels of a car in High Holborn.
3. In 1988, three Irish Republican Army (IRA) members were killed in Gibraltar by the SAS (UK special forces).
Reportedly, it was Mossad who had tracked the IRA men.
4. Reportedly, Tony Blair has cooperated with Mossad who are thought to have a hit list of people living in the UK.
5. In 1956, George Young, deputy chief of MI6, supported the idea of assassinating President Nasser.
NOTE: At the beginning of the Suez Crisis, MI6 developed a plan to assassinate Nasser using nerve gas. Prime Minister Eden gave his approval. (Gamal Nasser)
6. In 1960, Howard Smith, a senior Foreign Office official, who was later boss of MI5, argued in an official document for the assassination of Congo's leader Patrice Lumumba.
7. In 1972, John Wyman of MI6 recruited the Littlejohn brothers to carry out bank robberies and bomb attacks in the Republic of Ireland.
Wyman said to them that there was "going to be a policy of political assassination" for which they were to make themselves available.
Wyman gave the Littlejohns a list of IRA leaders to assassinate; these included Seamus Costello, Sean Qarland and Sean McStiofain.
8. MI6 can call upon the SAS, and similar special forces units, to carry out assassinations.
9. MI6 can "sub-contract it to Mossad", according to a former British agent quoted by Peter Hillmore and Ed Vulliamy in "Spies: the Beautiful and the damned" (The Observer, October 12, 1997).
Possible examples were the deaths of (A) the British inventor of the Iraqi "Supergun", Gerald Bull and (B) the 1990 death of Jonathan Moyle, editor of the British trade journal Defence Helicopter World.
In 2003, Meir Dagan, boss of Mossad, met Eliza Manningham Buller, boss of MI5, and Richard Dearlove, boss of MI6.
(In 2005, the London tube bombings took place.)

Disclaimer: This work is based on the "The Changes to RNG Methods"
thread on GameFAQs (http://s3.cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.asp?
board=12775&topic=7579523 - although this thread has been locked and purged, no doubt). While this work incorporates some of Terence's
research into the RNG (all hail the undisputed master of GS lore,
Terence!), as well as some of IronDragon88's research on Djinn types and enemy weaknesses, this work is made by Tuxedo Jack.

You want the rare items in this game, right?
There's a problem. They don't drop as often as you want.
This FAQ is designed to give you the RNG methods to get the items you want when you want them.
However, I ask that you use it only if stuck.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
The hard-reset rule (if you don't get the monsters you want, turn the GBA off then on again) applies to EVERY method herein. Also, since you're doing a hard reset every time, you get an automatic surprise attack on the first enemy you fight the next time you turn it on.
The Lure Cap is a BIG aid in finding monsters. Get it. Beg, borrow, steal - or just import - it.
De-equip any and all items that boost critical hits/unleashes before beginning.
All RNG methods were written with a level 50 party. If you're lower than this, feel free to boost the power of the spells you use. Just don't come crying to me when it doesn't work.

Mace and went here without changing anything - i.e. all Djinni
set, attack order S/F/J/P, and did that RNG, and I got it on the
first try. I retested it with the stated order, and it still worked, so I think I got a fluke on this.
I'd love to know what drop percentage it is. If anyone knows,
toss me a mail and I'll give you credit in the next update.
I can't translate "otafuku." I know fukus are what the schoolgirl
outfits in Japan are, but the term otafuku escapes me. Anyone care
to translate? You'll get credit! And if you can, translate "hiotoko"
too.
Arigato gozaimasu!

Occult Xvii The Star
The Star is attributed to the letter Heh, w window, and indicates that the Light of LVX enters the world via the goddess as the path to which this letter corresponds connects Chokmah, the Word of wisdom, with the self conscious Tiphareth at the center of the Tree of Life. Corresponding to Aquarius, she is the symbol of mystical enlightenment but as she is ruled by Saturn her influence on the material plane is bound by temporal restrictions.
This card is so esoteric and spiritual that it is often difficult to interpret it accurately as it shows the influence of the divine that may manifest unexpectedly in the situation. Serendipity, epiphany and apprehended enlightenment are all indicated in this card which always implies a spiritual current in the spread of the cards.

Energy Clearing Melbourne
Wednesday, 22 October 2008
The Crafty Witch Files Magickal Housekeeping
Why, take advantage of these Waning Gibbous Moon energies,
and do some Spring Cleaning! Magickal Style. After all, the Waning Moon is the time to release unwanted energies, objects and habits, that we no longer have use for. It seems rather natural to me, that cleaning a home, falls under that category.
Now, I am sure that most of us have been doing the pre-requisite yearly Spring Cleaning Ritual. You know, airing out the stuffy Winter air, clearing the clutter and the cobwebs, to make way for the warmer months to come.
After all of that mundane house cleaning and freshening has taken place; we Witchy Types know that there is still more work to be done. (There always is! :) Just as we clean and perfume our physical body, and then attend to our aura; we must do the same for our home. After all, it is our temple. If we are to perform our daily tasks, love and nourish our selves, family and friends within these walls; we might as well attend to the essence and vibes herein.
So, I have gathered a couple little tips that I have used myself over the years. There are many more, of course, but I figured I will hold some back for future articles!
The first thing, as always, is to handle the physical cleansing and clearing of the home. Anything you would normally do, handle in your way.However, there are a few little tips and additions you can do to make these acts more magickal. Women from the beginning of time have used many of these methods, to the point that some of them have lost their original magickal purposes, and have just become part of daily household life.
Many of our common, natural cleansers, also have magickal purposes; such as lemon, vinegar, ammonia,baking soda, salt and rubbing alcohol.
(Just think of how often you have used or seen these ingredients used in magickal formulas.) If you want to clean your home in an Earth friendly AND magickal way, make up your cleanser with these various ingredients, and then say a blessing over them as you shake or stir the mixture. You can also add certain herbs, spices and flowers to your cleansers as desired. Things like Vanilla, Orange, Lime or
Grapefruit Juice, or even teas made from Lavender, Basil,
Rosemary, Jasmine, Rose,Pine, or other fragrant or favorite
Herbs can all be added to your mixture; for purposes of smell, and/or the properties that you need in your home. As you spray and use them, be sure to visualize their additional magickal purposes as being activated in your space. (If you really want to get nutty with it, you could store the bottle with some specific cleansing gemstones, or soak them in the rinse water (before it is used!).
I would love to give you specific measurements of what to use. But, like my art, my cooking and my spell casting, I am decidedly a non-measurer. (Except for baking!) I usually use the one part this to three parts that method. Add a smidge of this...and well, you get the picture!
Or, if you use ready made cleansers; try to get ones with scents that correspond to your desired purposes. They have everything from Pine Sol to Blueberry scented dishsoap. (At the Dollar Store no less!) You can take a moment to bless these also. (I know that this probably seems like sacrilege to some purist Witches; but am a modern woman, and if I am going to be using the item on my home anyway, I see no harm in blessing it, or imbuing it with special powers. I have used both, the natural and man made cleansers with good results. I assure you that it works just as well, AND that I have not been struck by lightning or had any of my Witchy Powers taken away for using such non-natural items in my home or my magick!) Oh.......wait.......No, I'm fine! (J/K!) :)
Now, for the actual cleaning. This can all be done before you clean the vibrations of the room, or done all at once. If you do it before, you have less physical work to do and can concentrate on the magickal cleansing and blessing of the home. If it is done together; you have the added power of the actual act of removing the grime, to add to the magickal working. Either of these is fine. (However, be sure to bless your washes before, if you are going to do the work separately. )
~You first want to open all of your doors and windows, (if possible); or at the very least open your front and back door or window.
~I like to do a smudge with incense or sage, just to get things going; and bless everything with the Element Of Air. Sometimes I create a chant for this, sometimes I do it all in my mind. Music appropriate to this task is also nice.
~Then, clean each room in a clockwise fashion. I gather everything that I will need into that room, before I start. When doing a Magickal House Cleanse, I don't like to go back and forth from the room. If there are items that need to be returned elsewhere, I just put them in a box to handle when I am finished.
~Starting at the front door, and working clockwise, clean everything in the room, in your normal fashion; keeping in mind as you go, that you are cleaning more than just the physical space. (Then work clockwise around the house from that room.)
~As I dust, I like to visualize myself cleaning the aura of the space, just like flicking away the negative energy from my own aura does. Again, if you have a special chant to use, great, but not absolutely necessary.
~I clean and replace, or rearrange each item in the room. Beat your cushions and rugs. (You can do this all outside, before you start the actual cleanse, or just put them in a pile by the door to be done when you have finished.) I also flip the mattresses and change the bedding, towels, etc.
~I also like to use this time to change the room around if I want to. There is nothing better for the energy of the room that to rearrange your furniture. (That alone can work wonders!) If you like, you can consult a Feng Shui site or book. Or just use your intuition.
~When you sweep, dip the tip of the broom into Bay Rum or another Alcohol and sweep everything into the center of the room. Even sweep the walls and ceiling in this manner.
~When it comes time to vacuum, you can use a charged herbal powder to sprinkle on the carpet, crushed flowers in the vacuum bag, and/or bless the store's ready made version.
~When it comes time to wash your floors, you can make a charged floor wash in the same manner as the cleansers and sprays. Be sure to throw your dirty water out your back door, (or outside your front door if you must). Visualize yourself being rid of nasty energy and negativity.
~If you like to put salt in your corners, or pennies under your rugs, etc., now is the time to replace them, or turn them, etc. Also remove and later replace any household Talismans that need to be refreshed or recharged.
~After you have handled, arranged, cleansed, smudged, and washed each item in it's own way, you are then done.
~I like to sit in the cleansed room and meditate for a moment on the purpose of that room, who or what it houses and protects, etc. I visualize happy, loving times taking place there. It is nice to have fresh flowers on hand for this project, to place in each room after the work is done.
~I also like to light a small white charged tea light in a prominent place in each room. This further clears away the energies and replaces them with peaceful positive ones.
~I can guarantee, that any efforts that you make, including and beyond your regular household cleaning routine, will be well worth it; and will serve your home, and its inhabitants well.

Religion And Spirituality Open Question Religious And Fellow Non Religious People
So I begin the question:
One of my friends told me it is rupture to secure in God than not secure(he is a primary christian and he is particularly pentecostal), for instance he told me I'll never know if I am precise or not about God. Do you get hard it's rupture to secure in god or not? Satisfy deliver me opinions from your panel, no aridity, and no trolling at all. If you average to tyrant, go on Ebaumsworld or 4chan.

Is The Wiccan Rede Ethical A Response
Eight words the Wiccan Rede completed,
An it harm none do what ye bestow.
Don launches inside a get-together of the way that you can't really "happen as expected" the Rede-harming none is insufferable. But does resulting the Rede mean you have the benefit of to harm none? His finalize implementation never asks this crucial suspicion.
"An" wake "if," so "If it harms none, do what you bestow." It's an "if account". It is not an "if and morally if" account. The aligned Wikipedia detail is really good on crucial what that wake. If you don't intend to read the whole thing, calm read this:
Divergence from "if" and "morally if"
"If the fruit is an apple, as a result Madison bestow eat it."
This states morally that Madison bestow eat fruits that are apples. It does not, motionless, hoard the hazard that Madison coerce similarly have the benefit of take a breather to eat mad. Doubtless she bestow, maybe she bestow not-the view does not make out us. All we know for solid is that she bestow eat any and all apples that she happens upon. That the fruit is an apple is a pleasant achieve something for Madison to eat the fruit.
So, "if it harms none, do what you bestow," is one and the same "if it's an apple, Madison bestow eat it." It says zip up about "if it harms" or "if it may harm." You can't calm reverse an if account, and a lot of homeland, using inaccurate logic, do razor-sharp that. They reverse every word, so that "If it harms none, do what you bestow" becomes "If it harms any, do not do what you bestow. Austere logic! "
The Rede is actually a devise in re-visioning ethical statements as plus point more or less than derogatory. Very of saying "don't do this, don't do that," the Rede says, "do what you bestow" comes experimental. It says, as desire as you're not harming, don't weight about a assortment of cipher. It sets say harm as a special scrape.
Poise this to a worldview in which 90% of what you intend to do is wayward or proscribed, and morally a small subset of direction is sacred. In Wicca, everything that doesn't harm is permitted, and morally a small subset of direction is even occupational to ethical cipher. Wicca assumes the sanctity and correctness of mortal direction and treats sin as an abnormality, though in Christianity (for ideal) sin is the typical achieve something. How refreshing!
Having the status of I say that I don't believe victimless crimes require be on the books, I am resulting the Rede. I believe slaughter, clobber, and thing red lights in passage require be against the law: They're all rotten. But the law books enfold us with laws against everything from consensual huge sexual behaviors to smoking pot in the shelter of your own home: kit that "harm none".
The Wiccan Rede is not destined to be an invasive ethical target that precludes the wish for any other cipher. It's destined to support the starting point for whole ideology in a plus point and life-affirming way.

The Secret Life Some Thoughts On Streiber And Castaneda
Shape it out near
http://secretsun.blogspot.com/2010/10/netherworld.html
I had a few psyche on these issues unadulterated. Joseph Campbell surveyed the world's mythology and deserted the widespread elements of the ad myth of the story of the brave man and did us all a deep-seated service.
My fineness is that a ad myth similarly lies as the crux of the powerful level of response to some of this "distant" have a bearing. Near may be no one unattached home that generally reveals it and we have to dredge it up but I am aslant to idea it momentum have a Gnostic tone in some way as so greatly deep-seated sci-fi does.
It momentum bear that sardonic consequence of something previous to natural. It may reveal we have a multi-dimensional life, or at bare minimum a life everywhere some of the highest fundamental action is smoothly incident out of our conscious care until some idiosyncratic set of wake-up calls starts to reveal it.
I was similarly reminded of a epigrammatic but fundamental realm, that I bit deals with the identical mystery, entitled "Intimations" in my "Avalonian Aeon". I was a bit disarray to have to edit the Castaneda references out of the published representation so I'm optimistic to post the new bit near once again.
In November 1987 I read "Communion "by Whitley Streiber. This illustrious work, which was sophisticated filmed, tells the story of the author's thought encounters with extra-terrestrials. Someone I knew who had read it seemed to be polarised by unrestrained behavior of response. Near were some who despicable it and lost no opportunities to ridicule it. An phase sandwiched between an anal catch fish, featured in the movie, was the go of greatly comedy. Others recycled it to verify their pious beliefs about the space brothers' intercession on Nation.
The book had a grand hollow on me but not for any of the predictable reasons. I felt it was probably the best contactee item that I'd read, but I wasn't disproportionately tense with influential whether or not it was "true". I was intrigued to learn that Streiber had been lively in a Gurdjieff group for a prolonged subdivision but that was in recent times further fact for the single wake up. At the same time as stirred me at deep-seated muted of my person was a idea that ran plus the book that I felt to be unbeatably sales rep in the way of thinking of some antediluvian myth that hints at the discreet realms of one's deeper life.
In the course of the story, Streiber had a series of experiences that stirred memories of comings and goings that his conscious mortal had no recollection of. These comings and goings were by no treat petty. As they were uncovered it became skeletal that they represented the highest principal, the highest fundamental comings and goings of his whole life. Gradually he began to realise that the life he planning he was living was not his real life at all. The other, previous life was, in fact, finer "real". It was the discreet sparkling of his true fate and had, in effect, been "living" him. This realisation, this cage of infectious up on himself, bent a turn a propos in his consequence of self that permanently mutated his fineness of identity.
I recognised the idea as one I had previous to encountered a modification of and been unusually stimulated by previously. It had been in Carlos Castaneda's "The Eagle's Say". This was the sixth in the illustrious surrounding of the author's adventures in shamanic sorcery apprenticed to don Juan. In this book, Castaneda told a story of experiences that led him to identify unknown memories of magical episodes that took place in further realm of concept, but were nonetheless anchored to actual physical locations and dates in time. These comings and goings constituted a constant teaching and were of deep-seated significance. In some way it was possible to hang about plus such a cage but have no conscious care of it in sophisticated take out. Once the time was measure and interesting physical hard to pin down cues served to begin the new beginning.
Castaneda has had his doubters and denigrators finished the kick. As with Streiber, some are extremely antagonistic. I'd surveyed the burial chamber literature and carried on reading each new work regardless. At the same time as mattered was what the books called forth from within me. That was the test of the force of the magic they come to life. And that idea of the secret life touched some part of me very very much.
Seeing it restated in "Communion "led to me negotiations it once again. I wondered if put on was a too low, secret constant sparkling, vigorous from some other realm unfettered of the selection of my collection concept that was one way or another "living" me? Because of an homely phase of substantial turmoil in my life, I was open to such assure and hoped I was best part to obtain up on any clues to lead me on.

Shrinking Jesus And Betraying The Faith
What caused the crisis now being faced not only by the Diocese of South Carolina but by the entire western Christian Church? It's more than an issue of sexuality. It's one of pandering to the secular culture, of shrinking Jesus and betraying the faith.
Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan are two remarkably popular theologians who teach a version of Christianity that reduces the Christian faith to contemporary secular assumptions. For Crossan, Jesus was an illiterate Jewish cynic. No Incarnation no Resurrection. The Easter story is "fictional mythology" (p. 161, Jesus a Revolutionary Biography). Borg claims that Jesus was only divine in the sense that Martin Luther King and Gandhi were divine. Borg dismisses the creeds (p.10, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time) Jesus was a "spirit person, a mediator of the sacred, a shaman," one of those persons like Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Mohammed, et al. (p. 32)
Recently Borg and Crossan have collaborated on a book, The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus' Final Days in Jerusalem. Their Jesus is a semi-revolutionary leader of peasants and outcasts against the priestly elite and those who accommodate to the dominant system of Roman coercive authority. It was not our sinful condition that demanded his crucifixion but this elite. Borg and Crossan's Jesus does not come from God to take away sin but arose from among the innocent to teach us how not to be a part of the dominant systems. They fail to understand the depth of sin in all of us at all times, including peasants, as well as the elite. More importantly they lose the assurance of ultimate mercy and forgiveness.
Speaking of elites these two "scholarly authorities" purport to tell us, "What the Gospels Really Teach about Jesus." They pander to an increasingly secular culture and to the human itch to find some undemanding simplicity that now finally explains everything. And they do this while ignoring, and without reference to, the multitude of superior contemporary scholars such as Richard Bauckham, Raymond Brown, Luke Timothy Johnson, N. T. Wright, Richard Hays, Leander Keck, Christopher Bryan, and scores of others whose works reflect the faith of scripture and the creeds. THE REST
