Turns out it's quite warm around the Earth's equator (I know flat-Earthers deny there's an equator but I'm comfortable going out on this limb). What if it gets too warm for people? We'd expect them to try to leave, if they had the opportunity. Turns out a lot of people who live around the...

We don't. Very many of us bend the knee (genuflect) toward the tabernacle when either entering or exiting the church. That's because we genuflect to Jesus, Who is really present in the Eucharist. As the Bible says.

But Nimrod only started Babel, it doesn't say that as soon as Babel was founded, then there was confusion immediately.

Isn't it because of Isaiah 52-53, the Suffering Servant? It's not just His body which suffered for our sins, but His soul, His self, His whole being.

Like this one: Anyway: Another Joy of Catholicism: devotions. I was a cradle Evangelical, and if I were to put who I am into Catholic terms, I would say that I had a great devotion to the Evangelical Bible (which only has 66 books instead of the Catholic 73). I was obsessed with the Bible...

Not wanting to clutter up another thread: (As a Catholic (convert), as time goes on, I find Protestantism obsessed with thinking of Our Lady as defiled somehow, even though she was the ... I don't mean to be crass here, but ... the vehicle in which Our Lord was delivered onto the Earth from...

Not to worship them.

Coach Belichick's a frontrunner. A frontrunner is someone who performs well, but only when he's ahead, or winning. When he's losing, he c. never comes back. He can't come back. He has to be winning, or else he falls apart. Things have to be going well for him, or else he can't handle it. If...

This guy: https://twitter.com/StanRockPatton ... is obsessed with "polysemy," blaming on it many if not most of the "bugs" (he's a computer programmer by trade) of philosophy. Aristotle wrote about polysemy too (cf. homonymy), according to multiple peer-reviewed scholarly articles' titles (I...

OK. I more think it is Babel that it's talking about (Peleg's name); is that a possible reading in your view? In history, it puts Babel somewhere between Noah and Abraham, and not real close to either, which is what I think we all agree?

Do you have Scripture saying yes?

No. The Psalm doesn't apply to David; it doesn't have anything to do with King David, it is Messianic, it is about the Lord Jesus Christ, and about Him Only. That's literally what Peter is saying right in this passage we're discussing. He's saying that it doesn't apply to David. Christ...

Yes. I'm saying, "You're not wrong: Jesus is real. But you're too afraid (that you're wrong about Jesus being real), to reject Catholicism out of hand right now. Maybe later, you can confidently comfortably be a Protestant, but for right now, while you confront your fear of maybe being wrong...

You're the only one paddling in that river Hoping. Why would you think I'm saying to reject Catholicism?

You're probably just afraid. Afraid that you're wrong and that Jesus is just made up. You're not wrong. But you're too afraid to reject Catholicism out of hand rn, maybe later you can confidently comfortably be a Protestant, but for rn, while you confront your fear, you can't afford to just...

Do you know what I mean? You're stupid; that's definitely what I'm saying. But what I'm really trying to say is, you're acting stupid, which is a lie, because you're not stupid, but for some stupid reason, you think it's a good idea to act like you're stupid, and that's why you're stupid. But...

Jesus called people hypocrites or actors, He meant liars. Cf. John 8:44 "there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it."

"Sneer quotes" is a good term.

I'm not talking about broided hair, gold, pearls, or costly array. I'm talking about tiny clothes, or clothes that look like they're about to fall off. You know ... dressing like a whore. ( Scripture doesn't address it. ) So that's a non-answer? Or did you say "no"?
