text: Probably true William. Despite your other complimentary post I probably am asking too many speculative questions! For me personally, I admit Jaynes's theory is probably a bit much, although I suspect there might be truth in a less extreme version of his ideas. Talking about such speculation, I am reminded of our Christian fascinations with other questions perhaps without a clear biblical answer:
  
  1. The nature of God (Trinity, Tritheism, Modalism, Arianism).
  
  2. The nature of Christ's human and divine natures (water and oil or like mixed wine).
  
  3. The nature of salvation (penal substitution, moral influence, Christus Victor).
  
  4. The nature of faith and works.
  
  5. The nature of the afterlife (like how are bodies are corporeal yet spiritual).
  
  6. The role of women, gentiles, slaves, sex and marriage. 
  
  If we are honest, the Bible is vague on these ideas, yet they dominate Christian history.
