Pierre continues:

Until Scholars decided to compare the philosophical tradition that was prior to Jesus, they simply will not understand that the Cynic Philosophers followed the Stoics and they in turn were inspired by Platonic Tradition. Take a look at Socrates, Cynic Philosophers, and Jesus and you can see something interesting. If you don't you will still think that the Jesus of the Gospels brought a new teaching.

-Pierre

Pierre writes:

If Christians were to follow the instructions that Jesus gave to his disciples they would easily be likened to the manner and style of Cynic Philosophers. They confronted their fellow man whenever they encountered an injustice. You can see this in "Q", the sayings of Jesus that are recorded in Mathew and Luke but not Mark or John. However it is more obvious to see this linkage in the Gospel of Thomas

i couldn't understand the author of "the sayings of Jesus"

was it Keue?

thanks in advance

[openingmind]

The sayings of Jesus as found in Mathew and Luke has been called Q by scholars.-Lisa

I really enjoyed this video. Things like this help to convince me that I'm not alone in the world.

[TruthJockey]

Has Pierre ever talked with Jordan Maxwell or Anthony Hilder? I think those guys are there in Northern California - I'd be very interested to know what Pierre thinks of their scholarship, especially Jordan? Pierre & Jordan both understand the power of words.

Regarding religion, someone once said "Good men will do good & bad men will do evil, but you need to make good men do evil, that requires religion".

Once you think about it, things like The Crusades, Inquisition & 9/11 make sense!

I can not stand prattleing old turds like this; I'd sooner engage in small talk with a drunk.

The Christmas "silly" season is once more coming upon us; as a counterbalance to all that childish trash, I am rereading Bultmanns masterpeice commentary: "The Second Letter to the Corinthians". For the greatest benefit at least a modicum of Greek is recommended. It's a gem if you can find it.

These two piss-ants are not qualified to critique Bultmann.

Unlike Bultmann, I'd Tax the Churches.

Pierre is so fukken badass. 

[lopytube]

LOL Did anybody else see that coming 2:24.I was waiting for him to finish up on that quote also.

[JinxOz]

Is Pierre an atheist?

What is Pierre's view on God?

[JinxOz]

@openingmind Who is "Q"? Why is he important? What is his significance? I am interested about "Q."

@RightCitizen If you actually study the words of Bush himself he clearly shows either ignorance or his own personal philosophy about what the Bible actually states. He is far from being a Christian as you say as defined by Biblical statement. Bush is not trying to build a Christian crusade-a religious crusade sure, but not Christian. He's promoting world "democracy", straight from the mouth himself. Ultimately leading for what Lenin called Socialism, leading to Utopian Communism.

Thank you Pierre, and Opening Mind Associates. I never looked at Christianity in that particular angle.

[IKNOWALLABOUTALL]

Pierre is quite rude.

[alchemistvstiger]

Boo hoo.

[alchemistvstiger]

you should look a little deeper. Start with a great DVD called "Faith in the white house." Work on simple grammar before you start trying to call rhetorical fallacy. What do you mean Bush wanted a M/I Complex? Said complex has existed for many decades, long before Bush 1 or 2. The war was about the oil of course, but Bush was and is thoroughly and deeply caught up in all this bible thumping crap. This is a fact, not a folly.
