    Experiment.

    Yes, I am familiar with the passages and the reassuring words about inspiration and the production of prophetic writings by the Spirit's work in human beings. I'd say "that's a given" and it is for many and it certainly is in Catholic teaching yet it does not address the moral issues raised by...

    Are Catholics boring catechists?

    Oh no; no Catholic would ever do such frivolous things. Catholics are grave and serious and Jesuit to the core.

    Experiment.

    The analogy doesn't apply; infants, women, children, and domestic animals are not criminals in the case of infants no crime can be committed and animals are not usually regarded as exercising intelligent deliberate malice even if they do something harmful. So the question is not "was Alalek...

    No, I am not an atheist so I cannot play that role without deceit. I am asking questions that are real and that arise from what is written in holy scripture.

    But it is not God typing messages to me about why Genocide is okay if God does it and when God orders it. You are, my friend.

    You approve of genocide if God does it and if God commands it.

    Christian Universalism and Universalism

    It is possible that the universalist and the other verses really do contradict one another.

    Do you think that having the Holy Spirit in some degree is necessary to understand the difficult passages? How exactly does the Holy Spirit help with such passages as the genocidal incidents recorded in the bible?

    PERFECT LOVE

    Love is an action, it helps if the feelings are the same as the actions but the one essential of love is that it does good.

    The widows mite.

    I agree with your closing statement; the story is not to encourage selfless giving to keep a building pretty or to make a preacher rich it is, if it is intended as a lesson, intended to teach that flaunting your giving is vanity and nothing more but giving when you have very little is true...

    The widows mite.

    The passage about the Widow's mite is helpful at this point. It is a whole chapter in the gospel according to saint Mark and it covers many things but the story is set among these other stories for a reason that saint Mark has. Mark Chapter 12 The Parable of the Tenants 1 And he began to...

    I like this post because I like your avatar and because I really do sympathise with your argument even though I believe it is untenable. I know that God is good and he is Love as well as Truth and Life. Yet the holy scriptures really do contains a number of very troubling passages. They cannot...

    Not convoluted, just detailed. That is what this subject demands. Attention to detail yields accuracy. Broad sweep statements do not yield accuracy.

    Experiment.

    Font size and page number are related but the relative lengths of the four gospels are not font size and page number bound. Matthew is longer than Mark, Luke is longer than both, John is shorter than Matthew and Luke but longer than Mark. The proportions are what does not change when font and...

    Are Catholics boring catechists?

    God says differently. God says he rewarded Abraham because he obeyed what God commanded. Here is the passage that says it. It is said twice in the passage. Pehaps to make absolutely sure that people do not walk away from the story and think that what Abraham did was unworthy and non-meritorious...
