Ernie: Thanks for the kind words.
Actually I am surprised at the number of favorable responses. Maybe I have hit a chord "out there." This was hard work, let me tell you. I enjoyed every minute but at the same time it was a huge headache. Getting everything lined up was a serious problem since no-one else had ever approached the problem as I did, before me, and all available data / information is arranged for very different purposes. So there was that. Then, as a few remarks in the paper suggest, when I did find various "revelations" in my sources, like the Zoroastrian material, it could be highly technical and difficult to read. Yes, even I am sometimes befuddled at thick academic prose and by references to all sorts of obscure stuff. It decidedly was a treat to discover Clement. And thanks to you, even if inadvertently, because some of our conversations in past months helped point the way to him. Sure, I knew a little about Clement before then, but our back-and-forth made it clear that I needed to dig a lot deeper. Happy that I did. The paper may also flesh out what I just said Re: historical laws. It was a juggling act. Writing was like having 3 or 4 issues in the air at all times and trying not to drop any of the balls in the process. Except that there was one obvious boo-boo, placing Clement in '2002,' for instance, rather than 202. Ooops. And then you are supposed to write it all out as if everything is common knowledge that, of course, everyone is already aware of. Yeah, sure :-/ But it is done and who can say what it may lead to? What next? That is a military secret :-x Sincerely Patton ________________________________ From: Centroids <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2018 9:19 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Billy Rojas Subject: Re: [RC] Clement of Alexandria and Christian Faith of the Future Beautiful work, Billy.
