43:45 Have you seen the Lapide commentary where stars being ensouled is refuted with reference to 19th C cosmology or astrophysics?

I think it was the commentary on Day IV.

This was the Lapide comment I could find online, do you have the original text for day IV?

As I recall it, stars being moved by angels is not even mentioned. To some that's a synonym for ensouled stars.

1:07:27 I would say:

  • references to the execution are about Jesus and are blasphemous.
  • references to the disciple of Joshua Ben Pekharia have been taken as about Jesus, and have therefore become blasphemous, but I think they could be about Odin (the man who came to Uppsala presenting himself as a god), and therefore have not been originally blasphemous. Nor have they been taken as about Jesus by all Jews (except the Russian ones).


In connection with the latter, I thinks the Sons of Zebedee had a father who once was believed to be Thor. Before he repented.

He called them boanerges (this means "moo-makers" or "bullroarers" in Greek) because "sons of Thunder" (the explanation is not of the etymology of boanerges as a word, since that is clear).

Reconstruction:
Jesus: hey, sons of Thor!
James and John: nooooooooooooooo ...!!!!!!
Jesus: OK, sorry, oxmoaners, then!

[Most other questions, I agree with Wagner. Except he mispronounces Migne.]

[This latter comment brought me some online harrassment:



In this case the Commie could be a Catholic:



What would you call a parody of the bride riding a good candidate for the Scarlet Beast?]
