THE ABSURDIATRICIAN IS IN

Faith, as defined by Jesus in the New Testament, is a verb. Neither He nor any of the writers of those books say so, but I do. Why?

Mostly because I can. Also because it is true. I don't know where the translations went awry.

How many Aramaic accounts of faith being able to move mountains are around today? I don't know, but I would guess very few, if any. Somewhere between the Aramaic and the Greek and the Latin and the German and the English something went wrong.

Faith has to be a verb and used in the active voice. I'm sure of it. We can not move mountains with a noun. I mean dynamite (n) can move mountains, but that is because one dynamites (v) the mountain. Faith has to be an active force to do that.

It is a real power. Real in this world right now. Do not doubt that is here. Do not doubt that you can access it. With apologies to that great philosopher, Elmer Fudd: Be wery, wery careful; faith is hunting you.

Remember, as an old TV evangelist used to say, the power does not come from you; it only flows through you. Moses forgot, and it cost him the Promised Land. You can look it up.

Excellent! Wish I'd written that.
