If you are asking if I socialized with Dr. Scott - no. I have
personally spoken to him countless times, or rather he has spoken to
me. He was my Pastor.

All lectures by Dr. Scott are taught by him personally in the Cathedral
or Studio. A church member can attend or watch on various mediums. The
correspondence course thing or yours is a non-sequitur.

Your last question is an insult. Looks like you couldn't contain
yourself.

Dr. Scott was the eminent Greek and Hebrew scholar in the world. I do
not read the dead languages, but know what the Biblical passages say in
the original languages because of Dr. Scott's teaching.

I listen to Dr. Scott.

Chronology is the attempted reconcliation of all ancient civilizations
and their events.

I have no idea what "cliology" is.

It is irrelevant to ask because it cannot be genuinely confirmed.

I have chosen to be a good sport so to speak. In reality, he who
questions assumes superiority over his subject. In this case I have
allowed it, and passed for many obvious reasons.

Gestalt (German) method is the method Dr. Scott utilizes. In English it
is called "field theory". The teacher presents to the students the
entire enchilada so to speak, instead of micro areas. Repeatedly done
(if a person listens) an insight developes, you retain the enchilada.
Its like hearing a song on the radio - how do you get to know it ? By
repeatedly hearing it over and over. Gestalt method is rare as the
teacher MUST be a ***know-it-all*** as Dr. Scott was. I. Velikovsky was
a master at gestaltist too.

The religious aspects are red herrings.

Philosophy is King not science.
