Originally posted by NemesioI recall that conversation very well. I recall making points and asking questions of you in earnest.

They replied, "You are the eschatological manifestation of the ground
of our being, the ontological foundation of the context of our very
selfhoodrevealed." And Jesus replied, "What?"
