So Jesus wasn't an Aristotelian ...

Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. 

Mark 9:50 KJV

So Jesus (God) in calling salt still salt, even though it has lost what Aristotle would call its essence, rejects the notion of essence -- salt is still salt, even without its essence, saltness.

Hmmm...or am I just having some kind of flashback after a long, storm-filled week.

(Not that I ever did anything, even in the halcyon late '60's/early '70's, that would cause such a flashback...Of course not...wait, dude, did this monitor just breathe?)
