The home of my Father have room upon room upon room, read one of his Bible paraphrases, carefully refashioned to avoid troublesome words like “house” and “mansions.” As for John’s next bit, “if it were not so, I would have told you,” he’d ditched it and moved straight on to I will prepare a room for you—which in retrospect was a wiser decision than he’d known at the time, because the SLM wouldn’t have understood what John’s “if it were not so” assurance was supposed to mean. One of the most direct, straight-talking asides in the whole Bible was arcane nonsense here.
Creating new religion. Jesus complex?
