Give me one reason why Paul Tillich isn't the greatest theologian to walk the Earth.
>>2191278
Because Thomas J. J. Altizer is.

I ask every New Testament theologian I've known in this life the same question; I've asked the great Pelikan this question, at which he had just shrugged his shoulders and walked off smiling amiably: How can it possibly be that we don't have an Aramaic Gospel of Jesus Christ? All the scholars agree that he spoke Aramaic to his disciples, who would have known no other language, and to the crowds in Galilee, who clustered around him, and they knew no other language. If you believed that this particular personage from Nazareth was indeed God or the son of God or the anointed Messiah, how can you fail to preserve the actual words, sentences, that he had spoken? How could you not commemorate his discourses literally? Aramaic and demotic Greek are totally different languages. The nuances of thought, expression and spirituality of one are not readily translatable into the other. How could you believe that you were hearing the ipsa verba, the actual words of the incarnate God, and not write them down and preserve them? And what makes me especially suspicious from the start is, as you know, scattered through the gospels are some seven or eight Aramaic phrases, which have been put in more or less, as it were, to spice it up or authenticate it, though it's never explained why they are there.
What do you think about carthographical anomalies and the possibilty of an ancient and rather andvanced civilization before the Ice Age?
>inb4 ayy lmao
By advanced I don't think that it was spacefaring or anything. What I can imagine is that they were as advanced as Great Britain in the 18th century.
>>2191145
Where the hell could a civilisation "as advanced as Great Britain in the 18th century" could be based that there wouldn't be some sort of evidence? That's ayy lmao as fuck.

Because we killed him last time.

Lmfao was thinking the same thing. I've got to watch this series again. Only problem with this series is the switch of Octavian. They should have switched him when he went to that camp thing-o.
What are some /his/ approved sources and documentaries to learn about this man and the time he lived in?
Preferably about the old regime, the revolution and the rise of Napoleon.
pls respond
>>2190652
There is a pater bin with alot of good resources you might be able to find it in the archive.
I want to read the Bible but I'm confused about all the different versions. Which English translation is the closest to the original text(s)?
>>2190616
There is no such thing. All translation is interpretation; and that goes for any book, not just the bible. You can point to several, mutually contradictory interpretations of a single sentence and all could be supported by the original Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek of the passage you're looking at. Context could help, but you need to have some idea of what the language says to even take a stab at contextually interpreting whatever it is.
Ultimately, a translation is someone else's stamp on what they think the work means. Learn the language skills and read it in the original.
Unless you speak any of the languages it was originally written in and translated from, your best bet is the Douay-Rheims version, which is the first English translation of the Latin Vulgate. Even with the DR, your Ye Olde English fluency better be strong desu.
>>2190616
New International Version. Get a study bible where the footnotes take up a third of the page, or you won't get the half the context. The other half you're on your own to lookup.

Why are nepal, sri lanka and the maldives not party of India?
>>2190494
Religious-Cultural reasons
among other things
>>2190494
India was a collection of princely states before brits arrived, so the whole subcontinent including bangladesh, nepal, maldives and pakistan was called India in a similar vein to europe. When brits left they they gave choice to the various states if they wanted to be part of India or not, and tried their hardest to seperate it in as many pieces as possible.
>>2190519
There isnt much religious-cultural difference, not any more than India has in itself.
Tell me about the 30 years war, grandpapa.
Why does /his/ like to name drop it and provide no accounts of its supposed brutality?
well boy, the thirty years war, or as we called it back in my day, the catholic genocide started when wicked protestants got jealous of the imperial catholic's power and threw some of them out of a window or something. then everybody starts attacking us like we're the bad guys! even other catholic countries attacked us... fucking frogs.
anyway nobody really "won" and almost eight million people died, good times.
Read this. You will find no useful information on this shitty board except book recommendations
>>2190548
okay pal, I got a book on the 30 years war you can read
In the eeeeend, it doesn't even maaaater.

How can such people even live in the world?
>>2190260
by attempting it whenever possible
Kant admits himself reaching a state in which someone is 100% moral is impossible, but it serves as a horizon we strive to reach but never quite getting there
That's how a person should live
>>2190260
>wahhh why wont grown ups let me murder people to achieve my desirable ends wahhhhhhhhh
>>2190260
Daily reminder that Kant gets remembered for his epistemology and metaphysics, but his ethics and political philosophy are a fucking joke.
