Mohammed in the "Gospel" of Barnabas - ZOT for the Theologians

[parakletos]

The GREAT PROPHET MOHAMMED was mentioned by name in the forgotten gospel of Barnabas,who was one of the disciples of THE GREAT PROPHET JESUS CHRIST.

The gospel is here: www.barnabas.net/

in the aforementioned site,make a search for the word "mohammed".

heres a sample: from part 97

Then said the priest: `How shall the Messiah be called, and what sign shall reveal his coming?'

Jesus answered: `The name of the Messiah is admirable, for God himself gave him the name when he had created his soul, and placed it in a celestial splendour. God said: "Wait Mohammed; for thy sake I will to create paradise, the world, and a great multitude of creatures, whereof I make thee a present, insomuch that whoso bless thee shall be blessed, and whoso shall curse thee shall be accursed. When I shall send thee into the world I shall send thee as my messenger of salvation, and thy word shall be true, insomuch that heaven and earth shall fail, but thy faith shall never fail." Mohammed is his blessed name.'

Then the crowd lifted up their voices, saying: `O God, send us thy messenger: O Mohammed, come quickly for the salvation of the world!'

what do you think?

The classics never fail ;)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yup!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Well, with "arm of the cart" and "up his hole" in the same sentence - you can't go wrong! ;)

[fanfan]

These lessons could be less expensive if I would plan better.

Are you on city water and sewer?

[freedumb2003]

Wow -- and you never know what they said to get nailes, since the AMs almost always zap the offending post.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

One of them responded to me just now.

Well if you have insomnia come back. Guaranteed to put you to sleep.

[freedumb2003]

I try to be open minded but necrophilia is just nasty!

Every year on Holloween, Bill Handel (KFI640) does a bit: "Necrophelia, the victimless crime"

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You are our anchor. Our pillar of responsibility.

BTW I am buying your last book so Amazon should be sending you a check soon.

[NicknamedBob]

"Please don't have her awakened like the original sleeping beauty."

In the original, it was a spell. She wasn't dead. Necrophilia had nothing to do with it.

But while we are on the subject, I like my Brother's take on it ... "History does not record what procedures the Handsome Prince may have tried before stumbling upon the simple expedient of a kiss ..."

Anyway, my "Sleeping Beaty" resides in a "Whitebox", the local slang for a suspended animation chamber. A kiss wouldn't do the trick. Therein lies a part of the story.

[fanfan]

I always worry I might be one of those "replacements."

You Blong!

You are not to worry.

[freedumb2003]

"History does not record what procedures the Handsome Prince may have tried before stumbling upon the simple expedient of a kiss ..."

Tell your brother his quote made my potential tag line list (check in a few minutes)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

since the AMs almost always zap the offending post.

Yeah, that annoys me - I always look for replies when I see a zapped post!

But, with RWP, I believe he made a threat of litigation to another poster.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I think the reason they come is to make us learn things. I do wish they would mind their own business. :) What if I don't want to be improved?

Yep city water/sewer but I don't get billed for it separately the way I do for gas and electric. It is bundled in as part of my rent.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I'm getting tired now - I shouldn't have got involved with something this late! Ah well, it will keep til tomorrow!

[NicknamedBob]

Thank you! I keep waiting for someone to ask for the sequel.

I had this plan, see? Sales from the first book would propel interest in the second, and so forth.

Oh, well. I'm a lousy publicist. I just know how to write, so that's what I do.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

In a coma is just as nasty. Well maybe not quite.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Goodnight! :D

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Welllll, the body does belong to someone legally. As long as the body has a legal owner whether in or out of the body it could be criminal trespass.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Sweet dreams!

[NicknamedBob]

It's too long.

Here's an edited version:

History doesn't tell what procedures the Handsome Prince may have tried before discovering the kiss.

[NicknamedBob]

No, not comatose either. Spellbound.

Don't you know anything about Magic? What kind of Scientist doesn't understand Magic?

[freedumb2003]

You've tagged it before? ;)

[NicknamedBob]

Good Night, Irish. Don't trip over any Undead Treads.

[NicknamedBob]

"You've tagged it before?"

No, I just tried it for fit, and it didn't. So I used the Procrustean expedient.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I'm just a bean counter!

And you have tickled a memory about a book I read a long time ago. Mathmagics or something like that.

[NicknamedBob]

Was it this one? Mathemagics: How to look like a genius?

Did you folks ever check this out?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No this was a very light piece of fiction but rather amusing.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Heading to bed now. Night!

[sionnsar]

Hope you'll hang around here at least. FR's not as nice a place as it once was -- maybe we're not exclusive enough -- but I've seen a few departees happily welcomed back!

[NicknamedBob]

Good Night, Harmless. Sleep well, but not overly long.

[NicknamedBob]

Tension seems to be rising everywhere.

Remember, if you can keep your head while others about you are losing theirs, you probably don't know the full situation.

[sionnsar]

Also the mod has teeth.

Lord, we thank you for the most sharp teeth of thine own Religion Moderator. Let us be ever defended by those same teeth, and lettest us now and ever in the time to come never to be found wanting and subject to the terror of those terrible teeth, but that when we arrive at the end of days we shalt receive Thy almighty grace unchewed.

Amen.

[sionnsar]

Remember, if you can keep your head while others about you are losing theirs, you probably don't know the full situation.

Situation?

What situation?

Am I missing something...?

What's going on?

[NicknamedBob]

Beats me. I'm keeping my head down.

[sionnsar]

LOL!

[sionnsar]

Good night, y'all. I am out of here.

[Dead Corpse]

Wow. STS 114 photos.

Kinda boggles the mind about what we did off that little atol when the Castle lifted off.

I wonder if we started a new religion in the area?

[Religion Moderator]

LOLOL!

[NicknamedBob]

If memory serves, it was dawn local time. We tried to be ... inconspicuous ...

Miles distant, on the open ocean, ferries, launches, barges and work vessels are keeping vigil. There is an unnatural silence. Even the noisy gulls seem to have sensed some kind of danger and are patrolling elsewhere.

There is only a slight chop in the ocean, where large swells were migrating just days ago. The sky is clear, but not entirely cloudless. It could be a beautiful West Pacific day, but everyone is securely shut up behind thick barriers as if expecting an assault.

And then the assault comes. With unbridled fury, six hundred demon voices scream like outraged volcanic vents as gases heated to incandescence erupt from their maniacal throats.

On the horizon, the flash is visible long before the noise arrives, causing people to wonder if something has gone terribly wrong. Then the fire rises, like Poseidon’s wrath, out of a molten sea.

Steam clouds circle and roil in its wake as it rises, and the thunder shakes the air. Such fury cannot be contained, or constrained, and yet it rises, climbing like a demented soul out of the depths of Hell.

Atomic fury, ill contained. A genie, shaken into a terrible rage, with his bottle upended, blasts out of the opening at hypersonic velocity. Hundreds and hundreds of times repeated. It is indescribable.

The immovable object of three linked massive habitats is balanced on an inverted volcanic plume gone into full afterburner. The watery surface, the Pacific Ocean, and planet Earth itself are rejected, pushed aside, shoved away like a spurned suitor as the violence continues.

It rises. Impossibly, it rises.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Amen!

[Dead Corpse]

Yep. Something like that.

They that Native Islanders now claim was the "Day the Gods roared". They have been VERY nice to each other ever since having taken said "roar" as a warning.

[sionnsar]

A lovely summer day here in the Pacific Northwet. 58F, soft grey skies and a light drizzle. Ahhhhhhh...

Going to make the rare trek 9 miles west from here into Seattle this morning. The company is going on an outing to watch today's Mariners baseball game from a private suite. Last time I saw a pro baseball game was 43 years ago (it was really boring). It turns out the goodwife (who won one of the "extra" tickets in a drawing) has never been. Should be interesting.

[Dead Corpse]

58? It's supposed to hit 101 here today.

[sionnsar]

Still 58. Perfect.

[Monkey Face]

Drive-by post!

Maybe Sunday, I'll have my own coomputer up and running.
I have no idea what I'd do without the library!

I miss all of you!

[Dead Corpse]

A bit cool for my tastes. I seems to be most comfy in the mid-70's to 80 range.

I hope you are enjoying it to the fullest though. ;-)

[Monkey Face]

"You forgot to ping me, there!"

Sorry, Irish! My brain is trying to take a vacation without me, and I'm doing good to remember my own name.

I'll try to post again tomorrow.

XO

[Dead Corpse]

Still gonna be missing me. I don't plan on getting anywhere near a computer for two weeks. ;-)

[sionnsar]

I hope you are enjoying it to the fullest though. ;-)

Definitely. It's supposed to get back up to the sweltering Seventies by the weekend.
