Euangelion - pronounced ew-an-gell-lee-on) I don't know what it means, but it is fun to say.
Another statment that professor (N.T. survey, other of his quotes are found later in this blog) said: I would think of that as 'Exegetical Gymnastics'". (try saying that out loud) A girl piped up, "Oh, that's a fun phrase..."
In my Christian Thought class, the professor asks, "Do you ever hear someone ask, 'Why is a Caterpillar not and elephant?' You never hear that b/c it's a stupid question..." I forget now what he was talking about in reference to that... but leave it to me to hear only the most absurd part of the message.
this and the next two will be from the same man, (I love his lectures...) "People ask, 'Can you prove God exists?' I tell them 'I can't prove that YOU exist, but I can prove that I act as if He does.' "
"Death does not befit the human being whether he is 3, 10, 55, or 110... Death is an Intrusion into Life...."
On absolute truths... "Go up to someone and smack them in the face. They'll ask, 'Why did yu do that?' Well, you can say, 'We live in a random world where strange and spontaneous things occur. Get used to it.'"
The next bunch are from my New Testament Survey professor until further notice: "Israel's promise land was 45 miles wide and 145 miles long, and set directly in between the two major world powers of the time. So, they called it the "Promised Land" but it's not really all that Promising... "
"This is what I call an "Ah HA!" moment.."
"Recall is an important skill that you really need to hone in on.." (I guess this would be funnier if you heard the way he said it)
"My wife has this thing about using the proper words.. So, it's embarrassing when your three year old asks you in the middle of church, 'Daddy, who flactuated?'"
"My goal is not to hurt you but help you" (Said while he was deviously laughing....)
He asked about something and no one answered.. "Did anyone read that in your text? ...Anyone? .... ok, Did anyone actually purchase the book?" ^_^ |
