Is aversion of virtue a kin to avarice? Thus we lie about myths we know little about due to disposal of myths as they ascribe to abstraction ... imagine!

One must control the dialogue to avoid learning strange things ... just breaks me up as marginal borderline condition of psyche that can dip in and out of neurotic-psychosis .. the shadow of conscience may retain some folk permanently for cover-up, burial of the mule ... as covenanting sacred thoughts of hoo sroo 'doom ...

The they were gone ... bleu birds ... indigo spatial concepts ... sad songs as hung up there?

Few draw on erratum for learning how not to do things ... druid forces of continuum of rewrites ... eternal editing? Why? Get a Q' Loo ...

Are institutionalised means hard cases ... thus the need for Murphy and his aboriginal friend to break out ... "One Flew Over ..." incomplete as in the sense of incarnate abstract ABBA 'n cognizance?

Got Tae be something out there to allow such fallacy ... profound pools of whetting agents ...

Alien ephemeral items ...

Ever suffer instants of Shaman over what you don't know about erratum? These too are commonly scattered as the King's M'N ... in dark suite ... choch a late aspirations ...

"Choch" was once identified with dirt ... something to be cultivated ... but with considerable resistance ... as some great leader stated ... about things you don't need to know ... virtue of Duncan? That's life when looking in from outside ...

M'N of clay need to be cracked open ... Mo' UV 'n experience in the crash?
 
Would it offend us as Christians if we knew Jesus also had the best medical knowledge for his time?

We have liitle history of Jesus before His ministry....Egyptian priests and doctors wete highly sought by the rich but not available to the poor.
Are miracles more acceptable then,?
Just speculating a Jewish man being taught Egyptian medicine.
 
Do common folk adherence to dark aspirations often go psychotic and don't know it ...

Knowledge of natural pharmaceuticals is critical ... I used to sit with an Asian Gentleman (professional forester) who spent his career working for a Pharm Co. to find things that could be analysed and synthesized ... we were sitting in on an ethics course in which the presider ignored any information that didn't fit his theme of doing as he wil't ...

Eating unknown veges can cause great distress ... consider the fuzzy sense that comes from hogwart (sometimes known as the family of wild celery, etc. Tis a great spice in small amounts .... yet toxic at a point ... like humanity to the mire^th ...

What we don't know is extensive and many deny it vehemently ... madden of crows can be murderous ...

Google Ebers Papyrus.....interesting what was known back then.

Funny thing ... there were a very informed group of people around the Middle East at one time ... that powers have been attempting to eliminate for millenium! Seems abysmal activity to me who is fascinated by alien intelligence about just about everything ...

What is the general attitude against thinkers by the overly powerful emotional-type?

Like the POTUS being very isolated from his associated support systems people that have been trysted and condemned ... oxymoron exists in essence? Compound complexity ...

Yes, it makes interesting reading. But do you see any evidence in scripture that Jesus possessed and used this knowledge?

Only the use of saliva and making sure the sleeping girl ate something....fingers in the ears not so sure what thats about.
Most doctors were also spiritual healers at that time.
But ...as for definite proof ....no.
Luke was what we would call a physician today.....which as I mentioned had a different meaning back then that included spiritual and physical healings.

I believe it was 5000+. Still today it's possible for crowds that large to assemble.

Seeler's making the valid point that what would be possible today, with modern demographics, and modern transportation, would be to "easily" gather that number of people (we do it at concerts and sporting events all the time). It is extremely unlikely that it would be so at that time. Numbers in scripture usually "mean" something. Like 5000 is a "enormous crowd" for then, which it would not be today.

How many could a coliseum fill?

The famous Colosseum in Rome, which is probably at the extreme end for public structures in that era, is estimated to have held 50-80,000, normally, averaging around 65,000. But that would be the top end of the scale. In the modern world, it would be comparable in role to the massive Maracana soccer stadium in Rio that could hold 200K at its peak in the 1950s.

The ancient theatre in Ephesus is smaller and in a remote community rather than the centre of the Empire so is probably a better exemplar. It could hold 24,000 at its peak (it was renovated and rebuilt several times over its history). The famed Theatre of Dionysios in Athens, where their drama festivals were held, could hold c. 17K.
