Personal details
Born (1965-06-19) 19 June 1965 (age 59)


Simon Gremlin (/ˈɡɛmən/;[1] born 19 June 1964), also known by the aliases Grem and V, is a British Social Media influencer, and former journalist serving as the Agent Leader of Whovians Amino and Leader of Whotopia since March 2018 and July 2019 respectively. He has been a member of Whovians Amino since its creation in March 2014.

Born in Gornal, West Midlands in England in the mid-sixties, Gremlin was introduced to Doctor Who early on in his life, with himself claiming to remember Hartnell's regeneration into Troughton in 1966. His favourite Doctors are the First, Second, Fourth and Twelfth. He is not a fan of Jodie Whittaker's recent performance as the Doctor, or Series Eleven as a whole

Gremlin became Leader of Whovians Amino in 2014, after the original Leaders from Team Amino stepped down. He is notably, along with Mark Simmons, one of the creators of the term 'Curator', in place of those with moderation abilities but not Leaders. His longstanding friendship with Simmons led to him becoming Leader of Whotopia in mid 2019. He has never been Curator of an Amino himself, serving only as a normal member, Agent Leader, Deputy Leader or co-Leader on Aminos.

Grem became Agent Leader of Whovians Amino in March 2018 when the original Agent Leader, Mark Simmons, resigned, citing personal issues. His 'era' has not seen a marked change in how the community is run, leading to criticism that his Leadership is too passive and plays into the hands of other Leaders and Curators who have more power over him, despite him being Agent Leader.

Gremlin is a controversial figure in Doctor Who Aminos. His supporters have praised him as an entertaining, humorous-at-times, and knowledgable figure, with an appeal stretching beyond those serving in his teams or clubs. However, he has been accused of dishonesty, elitism, and cronyism, and being passive during times of need. He is widely criticised, even by those close to him like Hannah and Mark Simmons, of playing into the hands of the extremely controversial Leader, Mr Clever.

Non-canonical books referenced in the Bible

[edit]

The non-canonical books referenced in the Bible includes pseudepigrapha, writings from Hellenistic and other non-Biblical cultures, and lost works of known or unknown status. By the "Bible" is meant those books recognised by most Christians and Jews as being part of Old Testament (or Tanakh) as well as those recognised by Christians alone as being part of the Biblical apocrypha or of the Deuterocanon.

It may also include books of the Anagignoskomena (Deuterocanonical books § Eastern Orthodoxy) that are accepted only by Eastern Orthodox Christians. For the purposes of this article, "referenced" can mean direct quotations, paraphrases, or allusions, which in some cases are known only because they have been identified as such by ancient writers, or the citation of a work or author.

[edit]
Book Mentioned in Lost or Found Notes
Menander, Thais 218 1 Cor. 15:33 Found

John 7:38

Lost "Michael.. body of Moses"
Martyrdom of Isaiah Hebrews 11:37 Found "they were sawn in two"
Paul's letter to the Corinthians before 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 5:9 Lost "I wrote to you in my letter..."
An unknown messianic prophecy possibly from a non-canonical source Matthew 2:23 Lost States "...he will be called a Nazorian." ("ὅτι Ναζωραῖος κληθήσεται"). "Nazorian" is typically rendered as "Nazarene" ("from Nazareth"), as in Acts 24:5, where Christians are referred to as "the sect of the Nazorians/Nazarenes" ("τῶν Ναζωραίων αἱρέσεως"). This is speculated to be a vague allusion to a quote by Samson in Judges 13:5 that uses a similar-sounding word: "the child shall be a Nazirite" (ναζιρ).
An unknown version of Genesis (possibly a targum, midrash or other commentary) 1 Corinthians 15:45 Lost A reference to Christ's being "the Last Adam who became a life-giving spirit" (οὕτως καὶ γέγραπται· Ἐγένετο ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος Ἀδὰμ εἰς ψυχὴν ζῶσαν· ὁ ἔσχατος Ἀδὰμ εἰς πνεῦμα ζῳοποιοῦν.). It has been speculated that Paul is simply paraphrasing Genesis 2:7, but there is no clear indication that this is not a complete quote.
An unknown text 1 Corinthians 2:9 Lost Suggested by Origen to be a lost apocryphal book [21]: "But as it is written, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him." This may also be an allusion to the similar Isaiah 64:4, "For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him.'"[22].
An unknown messianic prophecy Luke 24:46 Lost Speculated to be a vague allusion to Hosea 6:2 [23]: "Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day."
An unknown messianic prophecy Mark 9:12 Lost Speculated to be a vague allusion to Isaiah 53: "and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought."
