I never thought of Sir David Attenborough as a politician. The video is good watching. One or two people in it make overly dramatic statements. On the whole it is factual.
I like logic, being a Mathematician by education and an Information Technology chap by employment gives me a strong bias towards logic as a powerful tool of explanation for complex matters. And the doctrine of the atonement is inherently complicated because people have managed to confuse...
The note at the beginning of my post is important for deciding the matters raised by Holy Week chronology. Nisan 14 is the day when leaven was removed from (technically already gone from) the houses of Israel and so would be "the first day of unleavened bread" and the lamb was sacrificed on that...
Your post made me laugh, I like the Tasmanian devil and your remark is funny so you get a like
:smirk:
PS: When I read posts like the one you responded to I just sigh and move on. All the piled up adjectives and doctrine flames just isn't even worth a response I reckon :)
Those are not rights those are the undemocratic privileges of the landed gentry, a remnant of the nobility's privileges in times past and unworthy of a democracy that is worth its salt.
So you're saying that empty land ought to rule the world and the empty oceans should have a majority of...
I see no issue here except for the one you identify; namely the meaning of all and I take the view that all is best left to its general meaning unless there are really good reasons to shift its meaning to something unusual. And the commentary from Albert Barnes on 2Corinthians 5:14, that I...
Please excuse my edit of your post. I edited it so that I can reply without being identified with the "you" that is the object of the ire in your post (which I edited out). I want to deal with the issue that you raised while avoiding entanglement in the dispute with another member of CH.
There...
That's not an easy question to answer well. There is a simple superficial answer that is "there are more because it is a much older position and more people are born into it because it has been around for so long" which amounts to "tradition" in either a positive sense (holy tradition) or a...
Albion is right, Catholics and Orthodox too see symbolism as well as the real presence and despite explanations current in Catholic Dogma (such as the aptness of the word Transubstantiation for whatever unseen and undetectable change occurs in the bread and the wine to cause them to be rightly...
Note: Nisan 14 is the day when leaven was removed from the houses of Israel and so would be "the first day of unleavened bread" and the lamb was sacrificed on that day and the Passover meal eaten at night, which is the following day being the "second day of unleavened bread". It is helpful to...
And 1,300 million Catholics. Maybe 300 million orthodox, and another 50 or so million Oriental Orthodox. It gets so complicated when theology is based on demographics.
Honestly I am well aware of the difficulty with chronological differences between the three synoptic gospels and the gospel according to saint John, even the early church fathers were aware of it so there's always been some difficulty about when the last supper occurred, my tradition favours the...
But USA people (Americans as you call them) did not elect Donald the electoral college did and it did so despite his loss of the popular vote by around three million votes so yes. let's judge his validity as POTUS and let's inspect his behaviour as POTUS and not withhold impeachment and...
Donald (the POTUS) lies frequently, says absurd things habitually, stands for bad policy, obstructed justice, claimed that he "grabbed women by the <insert crudity here>", divorced and remarried twice now being with his third civil marriage spouse, shows signs of mental deterioration, offers...
I use what is called "short cut rindless bacon" here and that USA people seem to call "Canadian Bacon". So that has very little fat on it. But sometimes a rasher of normal fairly fatty bacon fried to crispness is nice.
