That is a good way to begin approaching the matter, but it is a mistake to expect God to make a reply that's divorced from all that he's given mankind for guidance already. Do not trust a human emotion or wishful thinking to be the voice of God, but instead consult Holy Scripture for your...

Unless some of these items come with a big discount in price, I doubt that any of them will make much of a splash with the customers.

For purposes of compliance with the regulation, I'd consider them to be a kind of sandwich. For a different purpose, maybe not.

Strictly speaking, the Holy Rosary is not a unique prayer. It's a series of otherwise well-known prayers, all of them directed to the Virgin Mary when the rosary is used.

Not surprising. Well, that is the nature of dreams. Quite often, the most vivid dreams are reflections, in one way or another, of what we had been doing or thinking during the day.

Never

Don't be prideful, love others, and trust God. Got it.

Two on the altar is customary, although some other parishes adhere to the Medieval style with six. By tradition, they should be primarily beeswax, but I don't know how often that rule is maintained these days.

I think there's supposed to be a "2" in that lineup, too, but I don't know what it means.

LOL. I hope that comment was supposed to be sarcasm. Both of those are party offices. And the previous Republican Party chair was Mitt Romney's niece, Ronna Romney McDaniel. That didn't seem to launch a "dictatorial dynasty." As was noted by others before me, this sort of thing is not...

I'd never order one of the most expensive meals under those circumstances, but I would also see it as defeating the kind offer of the other party for me to merely order soup and half a sandwich, for instance.

Because it plays into the mythology of the political Left. Fortunately, the great majority of Christians know that this particular accusation ("Christian Nationalism") is contrived. Interestingly enough, it has been noted by others that this claim didn't cause much of a stir for the reason...

That's correct, hence my observation that the last part there was both unnecessary. and dangerous. That's because the listeners had already 'gotten the message' from the first part and, also, that it's the latter section which might get the organization into legal trouble.

They do seem to be treading on dangerous ground by specifically referring to the listeners voting for a particular candidate. In contrast, many liberal preachers avoid the problem by praising some candidate and even having the candidate deliver an unmistakable campaign speech from the pulpit...

When a person insists that he's not at all afraid of death or dying, if only because of not knowing everything about what the experience will be like, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. However, I have heard some dedicated Christians talk as though to admit such a thing shows a...

...and why SHOULDN'T the birth certificate record the facts as they were at birth?? Maybe there's an argument to be made about somebody who, later on, wants to be known as a person with a different sex; but it surely makes no sense for the medical staff at the time of a newborn's birth to...

Some of the Scriptural indicators of the end being at hand suggested to a few people living in earlier days that the appointed time was very near. However, there have been many other people who drew similar conclusions about their own lifetimes and, as we know, none of their predictions were...

I think that God does intervene in such ways as it is. But I also have no doubt about what comes next. Some people who are helped will turn their lives around while others will choose to stay in their sins. Then your own reaction will be to say that it's unthinkable for a good God not to save...

There's very little in Scripture which suggests that God winks at sin. In fact, his nature is considered by theologians to preclude such a thing as God letting sinfulness 'get a pass' just so he can win more humans to his side than Satan does OR as a feature of his being the epitome of love.

Because the rightness or wrongness of the current situation, based upon court rulings, remains what it is no matter what any of us or any parent of a school child thinks of it. I just explained why it's a moot point. Nothing the parent can do is capable of making the public school teach the...
