Different Christian doctrines tussle with this. For instance, the beliefs of either ascending to Heaven immediately or being in the grave for a period of time. To whit: While on The Cross, in response to the thief who asked to be remembered in Paradise, Jesus responded, “Surely I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in my Father’s kingdom”.
Naysayers claim that it’s a simple problem of the comma being in the wrong place! So, they argue it really reads, “Surely I say unto thee today, shalt thou….” Insisting that he was just saying he was stating it “today”, rather than “ today” being the actual day of ascension. In my mind and basic learning, well, people just don’t speak in that manner. We don’t write on the forums, “I want to tell you about my cat, today…”. Right? laugh

"Kill the Queen must not worry for yourself quite right if you all agree I do not oppose."

Does he support or oppose the assassination of the queen?

The assassins read support: Kill the Qeen, must not worry for yourself, quite right if you all agree, I do not oppose; and killed the queen.

When the arch bishop who had written this was questioned for participating in murder, he read opposition: Kill the Queen must not, worry for yourself quite right, if you all agree, I do not, oppose.

I’m a little out of school on this, perhaps you can tell me:

I remember from college history the story of a king making this comment, with an annoyed tone:

“Can someone not rid me of this miserable priest?”, whereafter the guard arrested and killed the man.
(Was it Beckett?)

I found the basic history of it - finally! HenryII, in an outburst after a meeting with Tomas Beckett, Court Almoner, had a tantrum in the corridor leading to the drawing hall. Historians believe Henry did not actually intend to order Beckett’s execution, but the guard cornered him (Beckett) and killed him with swords. Henry submitted to being horsewhipped naked, as penitence,,then he was absolved of any crime or wrong-doing. I found it peculiar that the ruling monarch would be punished by his own court. But then, the crown had to heed The Church. Odd sets of rules then.
