The tale of the encounter is written elsewhere, but you might have heard it from BIAD himself in some of his mumbling ramblings that he upon times engages in. BIAD was there for the blessed event, and all I got was mistaken for an angel. It was a bit embarrassing, to tell the truth. How in the world does one ever live something like that down? I mean, I got a reputation to uphold, and angelic ain't it!
Forgive me for going off topic, but the accounts of Ninurta being mis-identified as an angel, are actually true during the incident
that became known as 'The Nativity' and were deliberately omitted from serious texts.
For centuries, those who controlled the discipline of the early Christian faith tried fervently to expunge any reference to his
participation due to the diametrically-positioned situation of implying a compassionate servant of God against the reality
of Ninurta's... shall we say, 'less lenient' personality!
However, certain evidence still got through, as seen in a redacted paragraph from Mathew's account.
Quote:"...And it came to pass that when the snow hid the blood of Herod's fallen men, the Angel that slew them
entered the haven of the Christ-child and bode within...'
Only two other mentions exist to indicate Ninurta's involvement. One is from a scroll discovered in Ethiopia:
Quote:'...It seemed that with great ardor, the determined celestial-being wielding a hand that roared thunder
and spat pearls of wrath, brought low the Centurians. The breath of God was felt by all and the growling
guardian looked upon the trembling sheep-herders with taciturn eyes...'
And the only other reference is this from a forgotten papyrus connected to Luke's Gospel and religious theologians have
postulated that the source may include Boy In A Dress!:
Quote:'...The apparel spoke of rough-shod trails and the Talon of the Lord was strapped to his waist.
Wide in gait and without fear, the Angel protected those within and his smiling devil walked with him...'
I have yet to confront BIAD on the actual account and I'm sure that as the 25th December approaches, he may
relate more.
If that's okay?
