I am fond of quotes. Truth is eternal and many ancient quotes concisely and brilliantly hit the nail on the head. Pontius Pilate asked our Lord, "What is truth?" Indeed.

A sacrament. There is nothing wrong with ritual and tradition. They ground us in the familiar and experience shared, thereby culturally binding us together. However, it is the person of YHWH’s son that saves us. This explains why Jesus did not say the rituals or sacraments are the truth, the...

Prayed to but not worshipped. Other than that, good calculation. Yet, you did leave out why the RCC venerated Mary so. It has to do with the consequences of it being otherwise. With Mary being cursed by Original Sin, it necessarily follows that Jesus entered the world literally through sin...

Again, you have things backwards and exceptions don't make rules. God does not forbid one use force to defense themselves. He commands it. Let me say that again. You are claiming God forbids what he commanded! :mad: Christ said it is better to be cold than unarmed. Sell your cloak and buy a...

By ignoring the needs of the soul, the body, of living in this world. Exodus 15:3 Yahweh is a warrior. And we are made in his image.

I have already taken you to task over this ludicrous claim. God commanded the conquest of nations and the spilling of blood - of every man, woman, child, baby and animal.

Wrong! Totally wrong. Jesus did not say give unto <the governments as a whole> what is <the governments as a whole>. He said to give to the leader of his government. You have no conception of the purpose of government. Let me enlighten you. The purpose of government is to provide security for...

A Christian response is not opposite of a worldly response for we are Body and Spirit. Too many Christians are overly spiritualized and forget our worldy obligations. Unlike Christ, who was a subject, we are citizens with duties and obligations to guide the government. Again, outsourcing...

Give it up! No one is saying anything like that. Why are you even posting in this thread?

Yea! Because most of it is a diversion. Because 1% of your posts are on point. It’s the other 99% broken record, ‘FIRST’ Diversion that is a problem. Less is more.

This shows how wacked you have become! First, Jesus’ God. We get it a million times over. You never have to say it again. Other threads are about things that aren’t first - in your mind. Why can’t you let it be and stop hijacking the thread AS IF 1st means only? To read your posts, one might...

Commitment. Lip service. No commitment.

Too many Christians have forgotten that "FIRST" implies a series beyond 1st.

Enemies of many. I'm becoming painfully aware that modern Christianity, at least in the West, has become overly spiritualized. Ignoring the soulfull and practical needs. It's enough to know they are my enemies on the other side of the door. I need not wonder philosophically who else are they...

Yea, Let's destroy the Patriarchy. Damn the Patriarchy.

So odd for you put this burden on Japan's enemy rather than Japan's ruling class.

Oy vey! What a blatant Appeal to Emotion. War is hell. These "other siders" should've begun this way. Did they know what they were doing? And if so, how could leaders of this geography betray their own people by not accepting terms of unconditional surrender sooner? Truth be told, everyone knew...

Not helpful sister. Not helpful at all. All you are doing in this thread is Appealing to Diversion. The subject is Y not X. If you do not want to talk about Y, feel free to frequent other threads. You remind me of those Islamist Apologists who repeat 'the religion of peace' as the knife cuts...

Have you read the book? As far as I can tell these 3 angels have no names. Certainly, at least 2 are not Michael. Do you believe the insights about Michael also apply to these 3?

Its added to my reading list. Funny that on thriftbooks.com, there is only 1 review. A feminist gave it a 1-star. LOL
