Your explanation of Christ’s speaking Latin is superficially credible (or, in Latin “bollix”) but, a deeper consideration would show it to be merely the start of an unfounded and biblically dubious legend:

The ruler’s head was placed on coins as a symbol of power and authority – all Christ had to know was that the graven image was that of Caesar, the rest flowed.

At the interview with Pilate, there would have been an interpreter – why should a Governor, who had to deal with (to him) an endless amount of uneducated rabble all gibbering in some incomprehensible dialect of some local tongue, bother to learn a raft of foreign languages or expect everyone to speak Latin? No, the place would have been swarming with local interpreters.

I’d draw your attention to the time of the Norman Conquest of England (how embarrassing to be defeated by the French) the nobility spoke Norman French. If they wanted to know what the peasants were babbling about, they would use an interpreter.


On the question of the word ‘Lord’, if I may refresh your memory, you will recall the article from The Pall Mall Gazette, December 5, 1897, Wednesday, Page 18, clearly states that the origin of “Lord” is “Law Ward”. Hence someone who keeps / administers the law; a fair partial definition of one aspect of God and little to do with monarchy.


As far as God being English, a charming conceit: God created the world 6000 years ago; hence He was there before the division of the tribes after the flood. Need I say more? God merely favors nations – He favored England because it rejected the vicar of Rome, England fell into his displeasure because (as explained) of the blasphemy of its monarchs and naturally America became His favorite nation.


As for the Captain of the Mayflower, as explained, it was God’s guidance that did the job and with that behind you, an Irishman, a Polack or even a jigaboo could have succeeded.


Despite all your errors, I feel that you have the potential makings of a Christian (if not a True Christian™) if you can dispel any thought that Britain is anything more than a cesspit of moral decay and depravity and accept that the anglican’t church is a nest of queers bent on being bent.





“We must reassert that the essence of Christianity is the love of obedience to God’s Laws and that how that complete obedience is used or implemented does not concern us.”
