You know, I think I'm gonna miss this discussion group, twitter included :). #CH1205

@CHmadisonbaker I think her emphasizing her conciousness supports the validity of her visions. #CH1205 #CHMEDROMANCE

Capellanus's rules of love seem dysfunctional and unhealthy to me, destined for a Romeo and Julliette ending. #CH1205 #CHMEDROMANCE

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

@CHdomzamboni that's fun to think about. I'd argue that social design weighs in far more. #CH1205 #CHMEDROMANCE

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

@CHdomzamboni i agree. It has also inspired a lot of goodness. #CH1205 #CHMEDROMANCE

Hildegard is most brilliant in her use of metaphors. Such a powerful use of words! #CH1205 #CHMedRomance

@CHMarioC I was very surprised by all the Judaism/Christian references...from Mary to Jesus to Isaac. Blown away! #CH1205 #CHEarlyIslm

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

Koran 17:13-16 was cool. The idea of you reading your life's work in a book...all your actions...wonder how i'd feel? #CH1205 #CHEarlyIslm

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

@CHDanWong I agree. I felt that the Koran is more open to interpretation. Surrender seemed more stressed though. #CH1205 #CHEarlyIslm

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

@CHDanWong I thought the contrary was true. I got the sense that he felt his culture was far superior to the Franks'. #CH1205 #CHEarlyIslm

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

I must say...I was surprised to see the Koran encourage the beating of women...#CH1205 #CHEarlyIslm

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

@CHmadisonbaker the whole gospel is wierd. His actions were punished like petty crimes, but they're clearly not. #CH1205 #CHEarlyChristn

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

I feel like Tertullian's plea to stop searching might be incompatible with human nature...#CHEarlyChristn #CH1205

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

@CHmadisonbaker I agree, but water is still muddy. Tertullian also mentions that it was meant for all through Jews. #CHEarlyChristn #CH1205

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

The Roman confusion about Christianity becomes really evident in Pliny's Letter. They had no clue what to do. #CH1205 #CHEarlyChristn

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

@CHmadisonbaker there similar examples in the Bible as well. Always perplexed me. See Matthew 10:21. #CH1205 #CHEarlyChristn

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

@CHDanWong I agree. Jesus says that his teachings are compatible with Jewish teachings, but Matthew 9:16 hints otherwise. #CH1205 #CHgospels

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

The genealogy of Jesus is pretty thorough. I was surprised to see it traced back so many generations in Luke and Matthew #CH1205 #CHgospels

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

Might Judas be similar to the Egyptian Pharaoh? It seems he needed to betray Jesus so destiny could be fulfilled in #CHgospels #CH1205

[Minas Mkhitarian @CHMinasM]

@CHdomzamboni I agree...profoundly comforting. There's also huge appeal to the poor - wealth is immaterial in #CHgospels #CH1205
