Richard Dawkins—was on to something with his idea of a meme being like a mind virus. Communism is a meme. And there's no vaccine robust enough to enable you to spend all your time in the presence of the thing. It will infect you eventually if you choose to live in and around the people who...

You can't make this stuff up.

Agreed.

Yes agreed. And I would say technically, it doesn't have to have anything to do with the one bread. But it is written, $$ 1Co 10:17 For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. It's not exactly right to say that it has NOTHING to do with the...

That all makes total sense. I think that's good news. Weinstein and other idealistic libertarians are unhinged imo and would be the precisely wrong people to be in charge of anything beyond their own little fringe podcasts.

I don't see that as condescending Lon, it's akin to me to pointing out, "I think you did your math homework wrong." At any rate it certainly did not enter my mind that I was condescending to you. And so I'm sorry, and I'll keep this in mind in future discourse with you.

This line of discussion started with you saying you “ cannot argue with a man who loves his organization "no matter what." ” Put yourself in my shoes. The standard Roman Catholic Church is Jesus's Church, the Church singular, the One Church, in the literal Bible. Paul and Peter wrote epistles...

You guys all act like rhetoric doesn't exist until Aristotle or Cicero or some skubalon. You make no argument, it's just a silent presupposition—there's really no rhetoric in the Bible to speak of. Rhetoric is an attempt at persuasion. Under Aristotle, meaning ideally, rhetoric is the...

Same with nee_Twitter. It's better than Toutube, but it's still not as good as TOL.

^ Just so everyone's clear, I keep using the term "words of consecration", these are them. ^

The Passover was to be eaten.

It must be that the more truth we become aware of, the better our theology will become as well, so I think that's what we're all doing here, is pursuing the truth, no matter where it lies. You and RD both, just don't understand how grave moral obligations, such as don't commit adultery or...

You know quotation marks didn't exist when the Bible was originally written, right? And that Jesus was aware that quotation marks weren't a thing, when He spoke, knowing what would be recorded? I'm sure you know that. SUPRA. Oh. So ... is the consecrated host, His body, or no? Because it...

There's One Church, and you know that. The seven lampstands are clearly the ONE menorah. But if you insist, we can exclude Laodicea, and think of them like, the Jehovah's Witnesses, or the Mormons; who aren't Christian. Or we can think of them like Methodists or Baptists, those we all largely...

If you presuppose your pet theology is right, and that there are no obligations for the Body of Christ, then ofc it is not obligatory—to you, but that's not making any case, that's just declaratory. I could see saying, "Even though the 'Apostle to the Gentiles' Paul, quotes Christ as saying...

At the Al Smith event leading up to the election, President Trump said to Schumer, while miced (hard C), in front of everybody, "Don't worry Chuck, your party's so 'woke', you could be the first woman President." I don't see any front runner rn in the party, it could wind up being Walz, or AOC...

Granted, but that's neither here nor there in this discussion, as that's not what I'm suggesting at all.

Sometimes a work of art provides a concept that we cannot conceive of before it is expressed is all.

I'll keep beating this drum because it continues to be relevant. Watch the movie The Game with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. And then tell me, did the main character attempt to un-alive himself because of his free will, or was he manipulated into the attempt?

That was beautiful, and it was beautiful because it was right, and it was beautiful because it was a fifth grader's reading of the main points of the Constitution. From up and down it spells out that what President Trump is doing is EXACTLY what we want him to be doing. This is all EXACTLY...
