joko, I don't think Theland comes across as crazy, any more than you do. You think he's crazy and are annoyed (or similar) that such people exist. Yes, it's very Scofield, and I had loads of exposure in my childhood, but I also have loads of affection and respect. I would rather meet an evangelist or a JW or a Mormon in a dark alleyway than many other of my fellow men.
My own dilemma is that while I have serious problems with Joshua, I have even more serious problems with the magnetism of the Gospels. This thread deserves to be moved to the Religion section.
Get me going on the resurrection........ There is formidable evidence for it, and for me it is a fact. Coping with the ramifications is another matter and I could bore you all night.
