the the uh evas have descended upon curly and he's spinning around on the phone the robot Gets hit with

the spear of Longinus and then just pied mercilessly.

What did I tell you two about the spear of Longinus?

Can't bring you anywheres.

How about that thing just shooting back from the moon and then just staying right in front of

It's just a trip inside people's brains.

It's all part of it.

Did they explain the spear of Longinus? I can't remember anything about it other than it being in the moon.

But for these artifacts to carry any spiritual weight, there needs to be some sort of verification each artifact has its own story of verification for example the nails that held jesus on the cross were discovered in jerusalem by the very busy helena of constantinople when she went on her famous pilgrimage during the early 4th century a.d bit of a coincidence that the mother of constantine just happened to be the one who discovered jesus nails While this is still a few hundred years after the death of Christ, it does get us closer to his lifespan.

It's a similar story with the Longinus spear.

This was the spear that the Roman soldier Longinus used to pierce the side of Jesus as he was hanging stricken upon the cross.

We don't have any...

Oh, for some reason I thought he was hit with a sword.

The art of Hyperides, lacking the dignity of the great political orators, was especially effective in cases where the personal element was strong, as in his famous defense of Phryne, the reigning beauty, and in the extant speech against Athenogenes, exposing the fraud of an Egyptian scent-maker.

The critic Longinus showers praise on Hyperides, but only intends to prove that with all his technical perfection he fell far short of the genius of Demosthenes.

Lycurgus, circa 390-324 BC, also belonged to the Patriotic Party.

He studied under Isocrates and became the chief financial minister of Athens.

He attacks the Epicureans and expounds Egyptian theology.

It may be said that we have more general information about antiquity from Plutarch than from any other single writer.

Two treatises on literature belong to this age, that of Demetrius on style, a discussion of the art of prose writing based on Aristotle's rhetoric, and a work on the sublime, assigned to Longinus, died A.D. 273.

This is one of the world's best critical essays.

But her heart, her, her heart is open and it's like we can almost, like, there's these areas of entry where we can go because her heart's been pierced.

And then Longinus pierces the heart of Christ, and His heart is open to us.

So, uh, we can do that, but it all happened at the cross.

And so, uh, there we go.

It is the imperative manner of speaking that a conjurer uses when he says to his cups and balls, Presto, be gone, and most probably has been taken from it, as Moses and his rod is a conjurer and his wand.

Longinus calls this expression the sublime, and by the same rule the conjurer is sublime too, for the manner of speaking is expressively and grammatically the same.

When authors and critics talk of the sublime, they see not how nearly it borders on the ridiculous.

The sublime of the critics, like some parts of Edmund Burke's sublime and beautiful, is like a windmill just visible in a fog, which imagination might distort into a flying mountain, or an archangel, or a flock of wild geese.

When they took our Lord down after they, they w- you know, they were gonna break his l- they broke the legs of the other two thieves, but he was dead, so they...

Saint Longinus, he was blind in one eye.

When he pierced our Lord with the lance, all the b- w- blood and water flowed from his heart, and some, it touched his eye, his eye that w- he was blinded, and he got his eyesight back and he was converted.

But anyway, but when they took our Lord down then from the cross, they put it in, in our lady's arms.

And one way to do that, of course, is to pierce his side to go right through to the heart.

And that's that famous moment where indeed the Longinus, the centurion, pierced his side, went to the heart, and then water and blood streamed out suddenly in an immensity of water and blood mixed together.

and suddenly it was he longinus who was pierced now by that gaze as he saw the lord on the cross saint mark tells us when the centurion who stood there in front of jesus saw how he died he said surely this man was the son of god again a moment of exaltation He didn't just indifferently see this, but he cried out.

He exclaimed, he screamed it out.
