    Bot adventures.

    I made a bot for IRC some time ago. It's running on four networks right now. The adventure is that it has traded host PC from a Linux netbook to a Windows 10 Mini PC and now, for a little while, laptop Ultrabook. The little 'critter' is seeing the whole world of portable low-power consumption...

    The Catechism of the Catholic Church on Baptism

    Baptism appears to be a perennial interest on discussion boards where Protestants mix so I thought that a word from the Catholic Church might be of interest even if only because many Protestants will object to what Catholics teach on baptism. So Here is what the Compendium of the Catechism of...

    Called out of Egypt.

    Israel came out of Egypt after God worked ten miracle plagues to persuade the Pharaoh to "let my people go". Most Christians know the story. Cecil B DeMille made a film about it and it is still shown occasionally on television. A big scale event. Huge production. like many old testament...

    User pays

    The user pays for their services and goods sounds so reasonable and just. But what if you are a student, a caregiver who cannot work because the needs of the one you care for are so great that you must be there for them all the time, or too sick to work full time? Who pays then.

    Things you can do with a sim card free phone.

    I bought a second phone for two reasons to get a new version of android to have a backup in case of damage or loss but there was an unexpected benefit in having one phone without a sim card in it - I can use it for facebook messenger, skype, and even sms by means of "mightytext". Isn't that...

    Homily on baptism.

    The priest from my parish moved recently to another parish about 40 Km away. He and I are good friends so I decided to visit him in his new parish. It was a good visit. I attended mass and there were two baptisms. He preached a homily on baptism rather than a homily on the gospel reading of the...

This year it is The New Community Bible It has rather a lot of footnotes and explanatory notes. Mostly I ignore such things but with this translation I may have a look...

    ad free android bibles

    It is hard to find ad-free bible apps on android. I found one Catholic bible app and the usual KJV apps but nearly all of them have ads and/or in-app-purchasing. It is a pity, when I chat face-to-face with Jehovah's witnesses and other people who are interested in discussing the gospel it is...

    The term "Roman Catholic"

    Following the pejorative term "papist", attested in English since 1534, the terms "Popish Catholic" and "Romish Catholic" came into use during the Protestant Reformation. During the 17th century, "Roman Catholic Church" was often used as a synonym for the Catholic Church, especially where...

    Being called Christians

    Acts chapter eleven says that believers were first called Christians in Antioch in Syria some time around 45 AD. The question was raised in another thread (What do Lutherans believe?) when Catholics started using "Christians" as their self-description. My answer is around the time that the name...

    What do Lutherans believe?

    Lamm suggested that a thread be started to look at what Lutherans believe. Since I am not a lutheran I will not try to tell people what Lutherans believe because I would rather hear/see them tell others what they believe and hold dear to themselves as faithful Lutherans seeking to serve God and...

    It's all a mystery yet even quantum mechanics sees it.

    Okay, the sciences are generally thought to be either God negative or God neutral but when you look at what is said with some care some interesting God positive sounding things are said.

    What message do you take away from Job?

    The end of the book of Job contains what looks like the longest speech by God in the holy scriptures. What do you make of it? Then out of the storm the LORD spoke to Job. Who are you to question my wisdom with your ignorant, empty words? Now stand up straight and answer the questions I ask...
