So I go to the Theology Faculty (library) and I'm all like, "All these lecturers in my course are talking about this book called Q. I'm not really sure who wrote it, and I can't find it in my college library. Do you have it here?
They just frowned at me and didn't say anything. I hope there's not a test over it.
P.S. It's not appropriate to post, but if you e-mail me, I'll tell you about an awkward incident regarding the ordination of certain persons whose gender is not male.
feeling the feelings…

Please tell me you did this... Oh sweet Vishnu, please tell me you did this.
You never heard of the Q dog? Dude! Not as much of a Star Trek fan as I thought.
I am sure you must be josh'n us. Anyhow I read an excellent book, actually one of the top 3 in my whole library, which had a magnificent section on "Q". The book is called "Lord Jesus Christ" by Larry Hurtado. I think he is on that big Island of yours too! =) Oh by the way the book (granted it is a massive tome) takes a look of how early Christians viewed Jesus the Christ. It is worth every penny of the cost of it (I think it is around $50 american).
Maybe this is what they're talking about...

that is pretty funny. i don't believe you did this though :-)
BTW, my NT prof - David Johnson from Providence Theological Seminary, MB, CA - believes the Q (Quelle - Germ. source) is the proto-Mark, the "draft" version of the present gospel of Mark that got around in circulation, if you will. Later on the same guy edited it. It's a little beyond me to check up on a thing like that. Also, I lack the tools of Greek fluency - just able to read and check on gender, case, person, mode/time, number etc.
That's an interesting theory, Simonas, I'd not heard of it.
Minus 10 points to anyone who actually thought that I don't know what the Q source is. I still remember with a bit of irritation the day I asked one of the priestlings at my last job a question about how a parish discussion group was being conducted, and he proceeded to give me a New Testament 101 lesson: "you see, Kyle, the Bible is complicated..."
It was kind of insulting. "You know that I went to college, right?"
Sorry... it's hard to be 'not cool'. I didn't know...
It's not as if you know me, so it would be really hard to feel offended by that. But thanks anyway; and thanks for reading.
