Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Quoting Jesus...

No, you are wrong on this one Steve. The Revelation was John the Apostle's vision of the Second Coming of Christ and its prelude. He wrote the dream (or vision, if you'd rather call it that) in which he attributed dialog to Jesus as he heard it in the vision. Jesus did not actually "say" that.

Maybe it was divine guidance, but to tell Andy that it is a direct quote from Jesus is misleading.

Btw, there is a wonderful series on the National Geographic channel right now called Bible Science or Science of the Bible; can't remember exactly. This week's installment was about various biblical translations and what biblical scholars now think Jesus' actual words were and how he preached. Excellent programming!
