    Controversial: strange fire ... first presentation.

    You are right that an infallible statement from the pope or from an oecumenical council is not only true but also unquestionably true much like the statements of holy scripture are considered to be unquestionably true by many Christians. Both the statements of holy scripture and the ex cathedra...

    World Are fear and ignorance driving our politics?

    Increasing the churn rate in the congress would not hobble the lobbyists nor the wealthy and influential who hire them. In the old covenant there was a levelling sabbath year and jubilee year that was intended to, but failed to, limit the accumulation of wealth and power in family lines. I do...

    No condemnation ...

    Unless one has Christ in heart and mind one will not care about the Law or anything else that has beneficial eternal value.

    World Are fear and ignorance driving our politics?

    But isn't Donald Trump the highest bidder himself? His appeal is a sham appeal to the masses. He says "I am an outsider" when his wealth and position has been obtained by a thousand back room deals in politics and with politicians. His plan is not to increase the wealth of the common people. He...

    What makes a person a saint?

    I think it shows that the concepts of fulfilment and verification are distinct and different. That was the thing that I observed in a previous post addressed to you. Visionary raised the matter of traffic lights being red and one's obedience to the rule associated with it. Obeying a law does not...

    Easter thread

    I think that it is. The topic is Easter as it really is rather than as superstitions teach the ignorant to believe it to be. Easter is not a pagan religious ceremony it is in reality a Christian celebration centred on the passion and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Superstitious...

    World Are fear and ignorance driving our politics?

    In the USA - and I use the USA because we receive so much news coverage of their elections lately - Donald Trump has very effectively used fears to gain votes. He's been so effective at it that he looks like he will become the Republican presidential candidate despite his obvious unsuitability...

    Why was Mary necessary?

    I am not a female and no such opportunity could be offered to me because I was born many centuries too late to play that role in God's purposes nor am I of the right lineage nor was I prepared as was the Blessed Virgin Mary. "What If" is a fantasy in this case.

    What makes a person a saint?

    When you stop at a red light you obey the law but you do not fulfil it. The traffic law is far greater than one regulation about the proper action when a traffic light turns red. I am sure you knew that before you typed your post. Christ fulfils the law exhaustively. He brings all of its...

    What makes a person a saint?

    Yes, the Lord said he did not come to destroy the law or the prophets but to fulfil them. He didn't come to reform Judaism he really came to end it. Not by destroying it or removing its rules and regulations but by exposing the reality of which the laws and ceremonies were only shadows. That is...

    Will you make your choice about who to vote for based on what you fear?

    What makes a person a saint?

    The Lord said he came to fulfil the law. Fulfilling the law is not exactly the same as verifying it. When one fulfils something it is brought to its proper conclusion because all of its requirements are met and all of its promises conferred. When one verifies something one gives his/her...

    No condemnation ...

    Winks? Not any more. The holy scriptures say "And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declares to men that all should everywhere repent." (Acts 17:30)

    Why was Mary necessary?

    No, Blessed Mary is far from average and far from being unremarkable because God chose her to be mother of the Lord Jesus Christ and she accepted God's choice.

    Pronouncing God's name. Properly.

    We call him our Father and the Lord and the Holy Spirit because that is his name.

    I see the depth I cannot reach the bottom.

    Because the holy scriptures say it is not by not saying that it is.

    Baptism by sprinkling

    I agree that some things in the liturgies appear to have their roots* in the old covenant ceremonies and rites and some appear to have their roots* in the synagogue practises of the first century of the Christian era. Christian baptism has its roots in the baptism of saint John the Baptist and...

    Was Jesus left alone and lonely by God when he died ...

    Jesus is of the tribe of Judah and no high priest of the old (and abrogated) covenant was of that tribe. Satan plays no role in redeeming the faithful from their sins - not even the role of a scapegoat.
