My bible has 73 books in it and was formed as a canonical source of authority in the fourth century AD, and dogmatically defined as 73 books in the fifteenth century and again in the seventeenth century. It formed my Church's theology but was not alone in doing so. Church tradition as presented...

Is your first line a typo, did you mean cross-dresser?

A short answer is I play as much of a role as I can consistent with the Church's social teaching.

Here's definition from online: Transgender refers to a person whose gender identity does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. For example, someone assigned male at birth who identifies as a woman is a transgender woman. Likewise, someone assigned female at birth who identifies as...

A Catholic view. Have you read any of the Catholic Church's statements on Social teaching?

Well, I thought your view was driven by politics, which seems to be confirmed by your reply. While many Evangelical leaders frame their opposition to transgender rights as rooted in biblical principles, research suggests that political and cultural dynamics play a significant role in shaping...

I do not think that he is. He is asserting that works of the law absent genuine faith in Jesus Christ are of no value whatever in salvation. That is quite different from asserting that faith alone can save anybody. Faith when it has nothing else with it, no works, nor working love, no fidelity...

is squirming a sin?

What use is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for...

No, verse 18 is not the pivotal verse. Verse 14 is a great starter for the discussion because it expresses the dilemma so succinctly.

How many ways can one attempt to squirm out of answering a simple question!

What use is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? Jas 2:14 LSB
