    Thinking about Noah's ark

    I agree that it scales down the problem of housing all the species and the other issues raised in the video if we take "cover all the earth" to mean all the land that Noah could see but it also means that "cover all the earth" cannot be taken at face value and that poses problems for the...

    Are Catholics boring catechists?

    Yes, I know that is what your post was about. I liked it. So I wrote my post to emphasise the difficulty with "no works allowed" salvation theology as espoused in a number of his posts and the realities of no works. The ironic humour tags were intended to make it harder to read what I wrote and...

    Christian Universalism and Universalism

    It could be like in Game of Thrones where to bend the knee means to acknowledge the suzerainty of the one to whom you bend the knee.

    Thinking about Noah's ark

    The alley isn't Noah's ark though. It is a slight deviation in this thread's course, a sort of billabong like bend in a river of thought. We can return to the matters raised in the videos ... rude as some of the comments in the videos are ... and think about how Noah and hs family dealt with...

    Are Catholics boring catechists?

    Fair enough. It is interesting how the things we read and think about shape our own thinking and what we decide to write too.

    One thing that an empty cross lacks is anything to explicitly say that it is about Jesus. Many people wear crosses as jewellery without any religious significance for them. But a crucifix says "INRI" above the corpus on the cross so that people can know that it is about "Jesus of Nazareth" who...

    Experiment.

    I'd like to believe what you've said but how do you deal with the passage that says no man has ever seen God and the many passages that tell of people seeing God and especially the passage where Moses is said to have seen God's hind parts. There are other passages where Jehovah appeared to a...

    Are Catholics boring catechists?

    I think that your explanation is clear but I do not recall ever seeing "no man is an island" written in a bible passage. The other examples are from bible passages that I recognise. And I agree that the words of Christ in the gospel that say "call no man father because you have one Father in...

    Experiment.

    This thread is intended as an experiment to see if we can create a discussion in CH that is less composed to quotes from authority sources and more composed of what each contributor thinks themselves even if their thought has been formed by an authority such as a bible (66 book or 73 book or...

    CH a discussion board or bulletin board?

    If you do not want to see the video then do not click on it. If you watch it and dislike its content then why bother commenting about it? If you watch it and think that it is worth a comment then make your comment and see how the thread develops. I see a number of threads started with a video...

    There were thousands crucified during Pontius Pilate's governorship and probably many tens of thousands crucified during Rome's empire and maybe before it during the Republic era. A crucifix shows specifically who was crucified for the sake of his people; Jesus Christ the Lord. If you are...

    Are Catholics boring catechists?

    Very true. Many people do understand the difference between "do good" and "rely on the good you do". Some people understand the use of markup tags, even markup tags that are deliberately included in a message to make obvious the use of humour. As, for example, in this case: [ironic humour...

    The commandment explains why it is wicked to post lies. You know; You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour. It's something that is alleged to be spoken by God himself and written by God's own hand. But if you like you can ignore it, many people do. The image of Christ is the...

    Proverbs 26:4-5

    You distinguish by treating the passage as one rather than two proverbs. Like this: Do not respond to the foolish according to his folly, lest you become like him; respond to the foolish according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise. (Proverbs 26:4-5) The advice then is not to...

    The Soul Survives Death

    Do you think any of the bible is unreliable Pedrito?

    What happens between death and the resurrection?

    Saint Paul says that between death and resurrection human beings are "unclothed" because they do not have their resurrected body yet1. So maybe it is not a waiting room but something else, perhaps a heavenly nudist colony? ;) 1 For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not...

    Isn't there a commandment against women wearing men's clothing ... I am sure somebody says that means trousers or pants. :smirk:

    Yes, it does. :) THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.252 It was said to the men of old, "You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn."253 2464 The eighth commandment forbids misrepresenting the truth in our...
