    THE HIDDENESS OF CHRIST

    Do you think that hiding from God is being hidden? I have some doubts about achieving success when hiding from God but I am very confident that God can hide and be hidden in creation. I think of a song that refers to Christ's incarnation as being veiled in flesh. That was a very subtle and...

    Martyrs and saints.

    In the early centuries of our era many Christians died as martyrs for their faith in Jesus Christ. Through all the centuries since some Christians have been martyred for their faith in Jesus Christ. In my lifetime many Catholic missionaries, monks, nuns, and lay people have died as martyrs for...

    THE HIDDENESS OF CHRIST

    Another book more directly related to this thread's topic is The idea of Christ hidden within the life of Christians who sanctify themselves by obedience to the Lord and tireless work to bring the knowledge, mercy, and wisdom of Christ to the world is a theme often covered by monastics...

    THE HIDDENESS OF CHRIST

    Brother Arsenios, did you know that saint Thomas More wrote a book called "The Sadness of Christ"? I believe that he wrote it - and some other books too - during his imprisonment for not signing an oath created by Henry VIII's servants as a recognition of the King's claim to be "head of the...

    Something controversial!

    In the first post of this thread I did mention that the Wikipedia explanation was an allegation. Researching the matter to see if its allegation is consistent with what the Catholic Church teaches in her own official dogmatic teaching documents would be one way to discover if the allegation is...

    Something controversial!

    Okay, the thread title is "click bate" I admit it, but I saw that posts were down the past day or so and new threads are a way to boost posts so here is a new thread. And just to make sure that the thread can live up to its title I will go out of my way to be controversial! Here goes! extra...

    Universal Basic Income

    The idea behind a universal basic income is to make a living wage available to everybody regardless of their status as working or not. The reason for creating it is both to benefit people who are unable to work as well as people who do work but have low wages. But because it is universal...

    Boys & Coach in Thailand cave

    It is very good that the 13 were rescued. God be praised. During the 17 days that they were stranded in the cave many children in African countries died.

    I was a stranger, and ye took me not in.

    While having lunch in a local bakery "pie shop" I struck up a conversation with two elderly ladies sitting at the table next to mine. They'd been chatting about women wearing Burkas. Now, it is worth noticing that very few women wear a Burka in Australia, I've seen only one in all the years I...

    Poor Theology - follow the wide, easy path

    No, my days still take around 24 hours. Mind you, some of them seem way longer than that and an occasional day seems way shorter but that might have to do with me sleeping in :)

    Election

    What is the justification for that claim? The passage that refers to God's foreknowledge in relation to election is Romans 11:1-10 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Of course not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his...

    2peter 3:1 Dearly beloved, this is the second letter I write to you. In both of them, I have intended to remind you of sound doctrine. 2 Do not forget the words of the holy prophets, and the teaching of our Lord and Saviour, as you heard it, through his apostles. 3 Remember, first of all, that...

    Do the ends justify the means?

    I believe what God said about Rahab's action; namely, that is is good. The question is about Rahab's action and not about some theological principle. God commends Rahab for her action and her action included telling the murderous men a lie. Let's not try to make the story of Rabah and the spies...

    Basilica Block Party

    Very true brother psalms 91 and I think it also means not to judge one whom God has commended for her action in saving the spies because God does not judge with condemnation her action in saving the spies instead he commends it. Rahab was also a prostitute and without a doubt she sinned in...

    Do the ends justify the means?

    My post replies to the topic and the suggestion that Rahab was sinning by doing what was needed to save the spies. It is silly to suggest that Rahab's lie to the men who wanted to kill the spies was a sin. It was instrumental in saving them. And Rahab is commended by God for saving them. There's...
