Proposed: A Third Testament, or The Gospel According to speakingcorpse
"For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself a ransom for all..." (I Timothy 2:5-6)
No: another mediator has come and gone, leaving a cleansed earth in his wake. It has been washed in His blood.
The New Testament was itself only a prefiguration of the current dispensation, inaugurated today by the withdrawal of Howard Dean, the true Christ, from the American presidential campaign.
The cruel Father of the Old Testament was only partially placated by Jesus' suffering.
The Father lived on in the Media-Industrial complex, which had demanded more blood from the righteous.
But the Second Christ has come and given his blood. We are now free.
The now impotent media feeds on its accursed and dead beloved. We survive, and demand victory.
The media has been placated and rendered impotent. The field has been cleared. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Mortal men will make it of their own free will.
John Kerry and John Edwards will now exercise their prerogatives as free men. They need no longer suffer. We need no longer suffer. For He has come and bled for us.
Dean is Dead. The filthy God has absconded with his bloody bones. Long live Howard Dean.
