My Preface is really the honest and humble beginnings of a stuttering kid who felt his desire for Jesus as early as I remember. Through the rebus of my earlier formative years I can pull back now and see that each particular event that seemed so emotionally disconnected to a Logical way of thinking was indeed beads on an infinite Stringed system which bore the name, LOGOS and His ordered system.
In the earliest cases for “beginnings” of gods, demons, etc. one demon god comes to mind simply because of his primacy, simpleness and relatableness to many ‘next generation’ shamanistic and quasi religious practices that sprung from the primal ‘dung heap’ as him.
Let’s start here in Ephesians 2: “Once (pote – ‘a *time when*) YOU (the predestinated child Ephesians 1:4) WALKED according to the age (AEON- era) of the world…of this accordance to the “archon” or “ruler” ***of the air*** and the ***spirit** NOW working in the sons of disobedience.
Look at the phrase: “The Patience of Job”. Why is this such a catch phrase for the ages? It is because Job exercised “patience” in God’s will….not in a chaotic action by an arbitrary ‘evil’ force.
THE THING THAT HAS BEEN IS THAT THING WHICH SHALL BE; AND THAT WHICH IS DONE IS THAT WHICH SHALL BE DONE; —THEREFORE, THERE IS NO NEW THING UNDER THE SUN. Ecclesiastes 1:9
The Solluba, also known as the Sleb, Solubba and the Sulayb (Arabic: ُصلبة, صلیب ), were a Hutaym tribal group in the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula who were clearly distinguishable from the Arabs. Due to social stigma, very few people openly identify as Ṣulayb today.
The “DAY” can mean several things to many people in different cultures. “Daeg” is the term for day in Anglo Saxon. Daeg can refer to the time that the sun brightens the sky. Daeg can also refer to the ‘event’ of some kind of ‘time’ such as a ‘time’ of happiness, ‘time’ of sorrow, in the abstract, the ‘time’ of creation.
In our ancestor’s primitive rituals of enacting the dying god as scapegoat, the god impersonates the innocent. That is, the roles are reversed and it is the god identified as the “nascent-minded”, “idiot” or “fool”. This seemingly simple minded one or village idiot is selected usually by their meekness and innocuous nature which ‘stands out’. Rene Girard coins the term “satanic contagion” as the acts of overwhelming desire for sex-murder-greed-fear-sympathy-respect.
I was teaching on the very touchy subject of Christian Universal Salvation the other day when one of my students confronted me with what he called the ‘faulty nature’ of the penal system against Christ. He asked, “why should I believe in an angry God who is shocked with the actions of humankind and kills his own son because he needs ‘justice’!?”
It is for the Biblical “STORY”, “THE NARRATIVE”, “THE PLAY”, and REALITY, etc…that “ATONEMENT” created the ***SENSE***.by which atonement was necessary— and actually agreed with neighboring Middle Eastern cultures concerning “sacrifice”.
Up until now, we have triangulated our way up to a consistent Theology. The 3 main components that provide a coherent and consistent Theology are: (U) Universal Sanctification-reconciliation (Apocatastasis), (P) Pre-determinism (Pro-horidzo), and the (T) Teleology (teleos) which, in congress of forward motion (‘gestalt’), stands upon the first two. That is: the “END” or “teleos” is a *result* of ALL prior ENERGIES “that were”. This is what I call the “U.P.T.” formula.
The Greek word for “time segment”, or, Aionios was contrasted with Adios – meaning “infinity”. These two terms were used throughout Homeric times down to the 1st century A.D. Christian Church. As we introduce the term “Adion” for infinity in this lecture piece we will see what Aeon is not.
