There’s a certain blog came up mid-2007, the article of Sam Jordison on “Gardian Unlimited” entitled “The Bible’s Literary’s Sin”. The writer views that the Bible is a “readable mess”. He has so many ignorant claims about Bible, some are this …
“...that Jesus in the New testament is an unforgiving egomaniac, obsessed with demons, who likes nothing more than to have his dirty feet kissed (Luke 7:44-5). They might also see that the God they pray to, is, as Evelyn Waugh once quoted Randolph Churchill, “a shit.” Failing that, literalists might at least start taking the instructions about not eating shellfish as seriously as they do those that encourage homophobia, and so lessen the burden on our over-fished seas.”
“...it was an incredible achievement to transform the sow’s ear of the New Testament’s rough koine Greek into the silk purse that has resounded so strongly in our culture ever since.
Personally I can say this Sam Jordison is so idiot in terms of Bible. Like what Bro. Eli Soriano says “ I wonder how stupid idiot, who does not even know how to read precisely, like Jordison, can be a literary critics.” in his article answering Jordison’s blog when someone ask him about it.
Christ is not an “unforgiving egomaniac”
Christ of the Bible is not an “unforgiving egomaniac" who likes nothing more than His dirty feet kissed”. The writer of the Gospel of Luke is a physician - a medical doctor. Colossians 4:14 “Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.”
You cannot see in the Gospel of Luke that the feet of Christ were dirty when kissed by a repenting woman; and never did the Lord Jesus asked the woman to kissed His feet.
Luke was the only writer of the Gospel who specifically mentioned Christ was laid in a manger. Being a physician, a sanitary measure is one of the main concerns of a medical doctor, which shows the extra-ordinary person of Christ. Luke 2:6-7 “And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.”
What a Crap! Using Bible to Earn Money
Jordison learned about Bro. Eli’s Article answering his stupidity and ignorance about the Bible and he commented on it saying “I don’t know if you’re quite followed all the arguments in my post… I think the KJV is pretty well written too.I’m not sure if I’ll be coming back here as I’m finding the experience a bit – uh- unsettling, but do feel free to post on my blog again… I’m sure we can have an interesting discussion.”
But after saying that he came back to Bro Eli Soriano’s blog promoting his new book saying.”Hey, listen, I wrote a book you chaps might find interesting: The Joy Of Sects. You should be able to pick up a copy from amazon.co.uk…
Thanks for the continued interest in my article by the way, I’m really quite thrilled that you’ve gone to so much effort.” Selling a book? What a shame to make other people believe that Bible is a “readable mess” just to earn money for yourselves..
Well, I’m not amazed that there’s someone like Sam Jordison in this word. the likes of him has been mentioned in the Bible. It is stated in John 8:47 “He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not,because ye are not of God” Another was mentioned in 2 Peter 2:12 “But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption…”
Who do you believe then?
