Sir Richard Arcos' World of Docetic Twaddle. II
We are continuing with the Docetic twaddle that Dr. Langdon tells us is real Christianity. It's not pretty. Here it goes:
'No one will hide a large valuable object in something large [then what in heaven's name will they hide it in, something small?], but many a time one has tossed countless thousands into a thing worth a penny [examples? Sorry, this bloke is just saying any old rubbish that comes into his mind]. Compare the soul. It is a precious thing and it came to be in a contemptible body.' And Dr. Langdon would tell us that these people glorified humanity, unlike the Church. The truth is the exact opposite!!!
And just imagine the possiblities of this little nugget of heresy! 'God is a man-eater. For this reason, men are sacrificed to him. Before men were sacrificed, animals were being sacrificed, since those to whom they were sacrificed were not gods.' Do you believe in human sacrifice, Dr. Langdon? Do you believe God is a man-eater?
Dr. Langdon hangs a lot of his 'Jesus was married to Mary of Magdala' rot on one little verse in the 'Gospel of Phillip'. Here is the verse in context:
'As for the Wisdom who is called "the barren," she is the mother of the angels. And the companion of the [hole made by white ant] Mary Magdalene. [hole made by white ant] loved her more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her often on her [hole made by white ant]. The rest of the disciples [hole made by white ant]. They said to him "Why do you love her more than all of us?" The Savior answered and said to them,"Why do I not love you like her? When a blind man and one who sees are both together in darkness, they are no different from one another. When the light comes, then he who sees will see the light, and he who is blind will remain in darkness."'
The Coptic word (Coptic, Dr. Langdon, not Aramaic) here translated 'companion' means just exactly that, which is why it's translated that way. There is no mention of Marriage here; Dr. Langdon, not satisfied with declaring that the Bible is a fabrication by the emperor Constantive in the 4th century, engages in blatant eisegesis on this damaged Gnostic text! Words fail me. I must go bung Dr. Langdon's book in the boiler.
