Belated Merry Christmas

Dear All

Somewhere North of Aviemore this year. You will have had the turkey or something you like, the cake will be sozzled too ... so stuffed we were the trifle is being dished out shortly : thought you might like a recipe called "Tipsy Laird".

Christmas Mass on Christmas Day at the local church interestingly referred to the subject of "logos" in the Christmas Sermon. Theology, Biology etc and the understanding of life.

Well as you know I positively think on these things: Pontius Pilate was a judge from Edinburgh. There should therefore exist "Judgments" of his caseloads of himself and his colleagues on the Scottish Bench - where are they? Whilst we have the biblical version as varied from time to time, there should also be a Jewish version as well as Italian version and there should be evidential references in the equivalent of "The Times" in all of these sources, including in Scotland and other countries given the case appears to have had such high profile in its day. Interestingly, there is also a place in Wales called "Bethlehem", how and when did it get its name as well as the Bethlehem we all know in Israel? Are we, indeed, blinded or deliberately decoyed to focus on Jesus Christ and his innocence, but not also focus on the person who really created (or rather in legal speak "discovered" him - Pontius Pilate, the Edinburgh born Judge on the Scottish circuit). Given the problems in the Holy Land, are we supposed to accept that there is or was any holiness there, even in the 21st Century - or, is it potentially realiseable at least until recently in the UK (prior to 1999), sometimes, or nowadays never. Our prayers: "The Lord's Prayer" at the House of Lord's Judicial layer in the UK, are known as Law Lords - who are the Bishops actually praying to (or over): the Christian prayers refer to the "seen and unseen"; the "visible and invisible" - real or escoteric? Many of the British judiciary are Masonic and therefore probably also escoteric - how much therefore is nonsense as opposed to sense. Jesus Christ exists in our world because of a Judge - it is time to enquire about the life of Pontius Pilate, his colleagues on the bench, his judgments and the people whom he dealt with as Plaintiff(s) and Defendant(s) prior to his journeys abroad, as well as also making legitimate evidential enquiries of his life pre-Christ, Christ, and post-Christ.

Discuss is probably not the right word, as many "believe" on the basis of "faith", but this Christmas' Sermon was about understanding ... so ponder. Thereafter, comes "knowledge".

Happy Hogmanay too.

PS Diarise if you can, a Clan Gathering Event in Scotland in 2009 - google for updates.

PS I would be interested to view the Judgments of Pontius Pilate when they are established as existing.
