But is this still relevant today? "The larger evil" is, if I'm understanding you, what you mentioned later: Since that's now over, does this mean that lying goes back to being absolutely wrong, in all cases and under all conditions? iow does this mean @Hoping has been correct all along? That...

You may be on to something. I had been thinking about it in terms of root causes. Certain things are known to correlate with suicide, e.g. loneliness or seclusion, despair or depression, gender dysphoria, and childhood sexual abuse. Also, suicide's "contagious." Interesting thoughts JR. idk...

idk. But we have to do something about suicide.

This is you: "I'ld hate to think you consider anyone's life more important than what God, and Jesus, thought of lying " "Choose right now. Which is more important to you...obedience to God, or your family?" What are you even doing? Why are you pitting the health and safety of our families...

Is this real? idk.

You are so gross.

Ministerial priests (e.g. bishops) "celebrate" Mass differently from common priests (all the rest of us). I'm saying Paul is not saying that Church bishops should ever stop celebrating the Eucharist. It should stop for non-Catholics, Derf. That's what you just proved. Even if it's...

I like the "almost." "He didn't do it, but he got closer to doing it than anybody ever has!"

When God said He would destroy Nineveh, but then He didn't, was that a lie? Did this make Him untrustworthy? Isn't it exactly what Titus 1:2 said that He cannot do?

I like this guy's account

The context ipso facto limits it to such, else, why even bother considering context (and I mean generally)? Isn't that what context provides? The context is that the text is talking about X, so therefore, the text is talking about X. It's straightforward, isn't it? Titus 1:2 doesn't say...

Seems to me that the context suggests that the lying in Titus 1:2 is of a certain type or kind of lying. God cannot or will not say that something's going to happen, and then it doesn't happen. I'd say that's the particular kind of lying alluded to in Titus 1:2, I think that to interpret it to...

It has always been a part of our faith the latter. In actuality I'm more of a meliorist wrt the former. Stars and stripes forever, for one thing.

So just Catholic schools or nah?

No. The papacy itself promotes Biblical authority, the Bible is on a par with Apostolic authority. My point is that according to my view, that the bishops have not done such as you hypothesize corroborates my view. If this weren't true, then my view would be suspect and even irrational. But...

You're contending, I thought, that priests should stop celebrating Eucharist. I'm saying I don't buy it. But in the meantime, we are anointed with the Spirit. So obviously something's ontologically different right now, not just at the resurrection. But the Apostles continued to celebrate the...

The woman's seed, a male, will avenge her. He will do it through the sacrifice of His flesh and the shedding of His blood. :) I'm thinking about the practice of infant baptism and the analogy with infant circumcision. Totally. And Resurrection! That too. Circumcision was an immensely...

That's an important aspect of our faith, agreed.
