I hope one of the Others is a real priest and that he takes a mace and chases Mr. Eko off the island. I really do.

He done baptized a baby.

do you find out what you’re having?

Sarah Jones Mosley on January 26th, 2006 at 4:38 pm

Nope.

Nooo! I love Eko!

(Haven’t yet seen the newest episode, though.)

Eko is a catholic priest, therefore I think he is one of the Others. I bet a good guy (relatively speaking!) like Jack is a presbyterian or southern baptist. sweet.

Archer!

Eko is not a Catholic priest. He merely went back to his brother’s church after his brother’s death and assumed his brother’s role. He’s a heretical imposter.

Archer on January 26th, 2006 at 8:27 pm

oh..I thought he went back and became a real one after the whole drug incident. Oh well!

You and I were totally the urban rendition of LOST.

Is this a rant against lay baptism? Or against the idea that Christ’s sins were washed away? Or something else.

I think the reference to Christ’s sins was a slip, though I wouldn’t put that idea past John Locke. Locke is the real evil one.

The rant was against this line by Mr. Eko: “It is said that when John the Baptist baptized Jesus the skies opened up and a dove flew down from the sky. This told John something — that he had cleansed this man of all his sins. That he had freed him. Heaven came much later.” We were watching _Dogma_ the other night, and the same sort of line came up - the idea that Jesus was not truly God and truly man for His entire life, but that His God-hood came with His baptism. Isn’t that rather Ubiquitarian? (see “Hypostatic Union” at the end of the page)
