Final point: Jesus cites Moses & the burning bush in arguing with the Sadducees—Moses' first encounter with God that transformed his earthly life beyond imagining. Have faith in the Resurrection, and you may find you too are transformed.

So too our resurrection—the same self, gloriously transformed. We are seeds. The universe, in all its glory, but the soil in which we grow. How much greater is the whole cosmos than the soil? So much greater will our resurrected existence be than our lives now. 6/7

If this sounds woo-ey, remember how we take as given metamorphosis in the physical world: from tadpole to frog & caterpillar to butterfly. They are transformed to move in new dimensions, once beyond their conception, yet remaining the individuals they always were. 5/7

Jesus tells them we’ll be transformed, something like angels, beyond the need for marriage. Our materialist age tries to reduce human beings to biorobots, collections of chemicals, controlled by electrical signals—but instinctively we know we’re also beings of soul and spirit. 4/7

Thinking they’ve shown how ridiculous He is, they ask Jesus whose wife she’ll be after resurrection. They make the same mistake many of us do—Christian Resurrection isn’t about life extension but transformation into something different, in a state where time is somehow other. 3/7

They posed a bizarre story like something straight out of a Coen Brothers plot: a woman’s husband dies soon after they marry, and his brother steps in as their laws required; then she works her way through seven brothers as they die one after the next. 2/7

Surely that "should of" been "breathe exclusively" rather than "breath exclusively"?

Don't worry.

Wise words.

PS – Germany is pushing back most asylum speakers at the border starting last week. The era of mass migration into Western Europe is going to end rapidly over the next few years. And that is indeed the net product of countless democratic votes. 6/6

A concomitant of Labour abandoning radical proggies to keep the working-class onside—next time there’s a Batley/Wakefield/Anderton Park school situation, the British state is going head-to-head with a non-violent but deeply ugly side of British Islam. I hope they’re all ready. 5/6

If they do get it right, they could destroy Reform, a party which nobody is quite sure about whose leader people are very unsure about. Here’s the Danish People’s Party’s parliamentary election results: from 21.1% in 2015 to 2.6% in 2022. 4/6

Labour has better fine control over migration policy than EU member Denmark, but employers have no automatic instant access to south/eastern EU workers if labour shortages bite. Labour also probably has to deal with better funded migration NGOs and far more obstructive courts. 3/6

If Labour fails to reduce numbers of arrivals substantially it will break them electorally. But both the right-wingers and open borders folks simply assuming this will fail, for different reasons, are wrong. Something comparable already worked across the North Sea. 2/6
