Funny way of ignoring me. But, don’t worry, I will still keep trying to help you despite your animosity. That’s just my way of being  generous with my time and expertise.

I am very aware of Mt 28,28. Not sure why you would think otherwise. As for your quotation of Mt 26,28 (cf already Mk 14,24, but cf also even earlier 1 Cor 11,25), the question is whether or not this can indeed be attributed to the historical Jesus.   

Well done Robert. Force-feeding trolls results in emesis!

Hi, Dirk.

Again, I do not personally believe that these mythological trolls, said to live under bridges, actually exist. And, even if they did, I surely would not want to make them ill. Emesis is most unpleasant, even for bystanders. Steefen is a very devoted lay researcher who is certainly interested in finding the truth while also suffering from some most unfortunate presuppositions that he may yet be able to confront at some point. Yes, when challenged, even in an attempted friendly manner, he does get defensive and lash out sometimes, but he’s harmless enough. We all have our faults and failings and deserve or at least benefit from the patience and indulgence of others.  

I stand corrected. Your long-suffering patience is an example to all. Particularly to Steefen.

Weird, I just posted that very sentence as a comment on Bart’s latest blog.
