Document Summary

Opposite of man"s fragility due to angelic nature. Gospel of jude - including enoch 37-71, referring son of man, to whom belongs righteousness and with whom righteousness dwells - singular angelic being who one day will come as agent of god, destructs and restores the world. A way of idiom, saying something you don"t want to express explicitly (embarrassing or. Ghting) - speaking as the third person. ex. when jesus says som will die, he"s actually saying i am going to die. Jesus speaks present works, referring to himself (this approach seeks to maximize the evidence; most scholars are very skeptical: none is authentic - (jesus" message should be here and now, non-eschatological) Jesus did use some of these statements (puts a special relationship with this gure, but not relates himself as the gure) Jesus uses it as third person to not offend anyone (to frightening) Jesus likely did not use the title christ/messiah to refer to himself.
