The entire playbook of the Arians (JWs are modern Arians–literally these are the descendants of ancient Arians–just ask em they'll tell you) are all these Scriptures. They will all happily and triumphantly remind you of all these Scriptures which indicate distinction between the Father and...

Modalism. I've called you a modalist, not a liar, nor anything worse. I haven't been rude either. How about engage my argument?

I called you a modalist. It was a diagnosis, not name-calling. And modalism's not Christian. As a Catholic I can say that with authority, since under Catholicism modalism is positively and permanently condemned as heresy, but I provided an argument which doesn't appeal to Catholicism or...

The Flood is variously known to naturalist /materialist scientists; they call it something else (something else's plural). Here's one: The Great Dying https://us.cnn.com/2024/09/12/science/mass-extinction-permian-el-nino/index.html

Great rebuttal from Trent Horn:

The deciders of this election live in battleground, swing states. The only thing that matters to the outcome of this election are those voters in those states. So the base in those states and their independents /undecideds hold the future in their hands. I'm certain former President Trump...

It's not like there's no Scriptural proof that the offices were established by Christ and the Apostles, it's obviously in there, and it's not like there's no historical proof that the earliest Church certainly acted like they believed the offices were real, because they certainly did. It would...

The ontology of the two offices Jesus established, the bishops and the papacy, are really the only things that matter in this dispute, and that includes the Orthodox too. Those two offices exist, and Jesus made them. We have near 1000 years of evidence, beyond what's directly out of the...

OK. Paul called an altar a table, and he said the Eucharist is celebrated also at a table, meaning an altar. Sure. And so just as with the Real Presence, look to see if there are Scriptures which comport with the theory. And even better if the earliest Church appears to believe in it also...

I know. I was trying to save you time. But by all means go look again. So what is your idea? Make a steel man argument for the Real Presence, and give us your idea for what to do with consecrated host which accidentally falls on the floor, maybe into some mud. Supra.

Patriots inexplicably win (over Cincy). I mean I didn't expect to see a W in the first like eight games, so this is a real accomplishment, and a really good way for NE's new coach to start his new chapter with the team. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerod_Mayo

All right. Then go look again. I was trying to save you time. Yes. You could burn Him or bury Him, I think those are both appropriate also, but I'm not as sure on the burying. I'm pretty sure on the burning. I'll try to check the Canon Law, see if there's something in there about the...

“ Suppose there are many Scriptures which indicate a distinction between the Father and Jesus. “ Suppose there are many Scriptures which indicate some sort of equality between the Father and Jesus. “ Only under Trinitarianism are both of these sets of Scriptures unsurprising. ”

All of that is true. And you know here that you're parting ways with the Dispensationalists in this thread because they don't think Peter was writing to the Body of Christ. They don't even think Acts 20 is about the Body of Christ (Colossians 1:18) for some reason, because it mentions...

Rome's priest doesn't, but the Church's priesthood, the office, does. The man who validly holds the office has the right to exercise the supernatural power to confect the Eucharist, but that supernatural power is assigned to the office by God, and the power itself obviously is God's (being...

More interestingly, what about when He was an embryo? Many different creatures look alike as embryos in very early gestation. When Our Lord was a one-week old embryo He probably looked like a cow or chicken or pig or gorilla embryo at a similar stage of gestation, but wasn't He really God even...

Let me explain in intimate detail "how the host is handled and maintained, at least in our Church": The consecrated host has all the accidents of bread (except for if Eucharistic miracles are ontic or obtain). What happens when someone breaks the host and crumbs fall on the floor? First, the...

lol no. I am Catholic, and I know my faith, which is called Catholicism, and is firstly an organization of offices, and also is a creed. The New Covenant was dedicated by His own blood, no? Sounds like you have an opinion on the matter. The two offices of the One Church are held by men who...

I understand metabolism very broadly to be the sum of anabolism (tissue building) and catabolism (tissue diminishing), such that, at caloric balance (maintenance of body mass diet), the sum is zero, you build the same amount of tissue that you diminish. The worst way to maintain your body...

14's a little young to be suicidal maybe (maybe not). But anyway, there was some interaction with this kid and his father and the local police within the past year. Once again, there was a red flag, advanced warning.
