A suggestive saying attributed to Elcasai

Post by Giuseppe »


every clod of earth is the flesh and blood of the Lord

(Augustine, Contra Faustum, 20:2)

So prof Robert M Price would be right to consider the death of the Man of Light BEFORE the foundation of the world (as in Apo 13:8) and giving life to it.

Afterall, the Elchasaites were Jewish Christians.

Correction:
the phrase is attributed to Elchasai by the Codex of Colonia. p. 68, Henrichs-Koenen.

What do you mean (in relation to the topic of the thread)?

That possibly the literature of Elxai was a reaction to the Kitos revolt.
