There are a lot of very old threads here, that haven't been replied to in ages. Many of them are worthy of continued discussion perhaps, but at least many of them are worthy of being answered today just as much as they were whenever they were first posted. So I intend to post links to old OPs...

The idea that even a whole mountain of water could move a mountain made of rock (a real mountain iow) is a stretch, prima facie. But if you have a 'piston and cylinder' arrangement, where the 'cylinder' is filled with water, and the 'piston' made of solid rock, "floats" on the water, then this...

I haven't seen any analysis which can usefully model how people can wind up as suicidal mass murderers like the Kamikazes in WWII except modern day, and not Japanese. They just appear. You can't predict them. All you need is one of them, somewhere on the earth, and then all of a sudden...

He's just not much of a philosopher otherwise he would know that what he's trying to describe is already described by philosophers as a Person, above all. Not a force.

Have you seen the estimated reserves in Venezuela though? It's like Saudi Arabia, except just right down there, so close! We could live on Venezuelan crude quite comfortably for a very long time. We just need to like, annex them or something, so we're not 'bankrolling' an immoral corrupt regime.

America still has a very strong Republican base and independents here are not shy about voting Republican whenever Democratic tomfoolery becomes (once again) a bridge too far. May this never change.

That's what I was 'getting at'.

Then you appear to be in conflict with yourself Glory. Luke records the establishment of the Eucharist that Christ instituted with the Eleven at the Last Supper. This is not Old Covenant, Mosaic Law. And it is new. And the Lord says, "This is the New Testament". So promoting Luke to this...

Not bad. See below. I really like @Stripe 's " the man who would say "but I never killed anyone"" contrasted against "a murderer" and then forcing me to mentally 'mash' them together, that evokes a very clear logical image in my head. Murder is categorically unjustified killing with informed...

Everest is over 17000 cubits. Does this mean Everest was basically flat (i.e. 'not there at all') before the Flood?

I heard that Dawkins actually humbly and honestly admitted that he can't 100% positively rule out that God exists.

In the Catechism. I am.

PROTEIN Your body on any given day is going to be sore. It will be sore from lifting heavy weights, and if it's hurt or injured or damaged or compromised or harmed or any number of other conditions which your body is capable of healing and recovering from. Any day your body is sore, you should...

There are tons of translations of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, you're correct. Interestingly the first edition was published I believe in French, and then it was translated into Latin, and then Latin (like retroactively) was pronounced the authoritative version used to answer any...

I'm looking at it at the scale where Luke & Acts were written with Paul's approval and are possibly addressed to a high priest in Jerusalem, and what that means to the truth of MAD.

You say. The Apostles say God says don't murder. They don't say that God says don't kill in self defense. That's just what you say.

I used 'transition' because all of what you mention happened, but it all happened in a 'crescendo' leading up to v. 46 " Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold . . . " That's the transition I see. The "Then".

Bump.

I condemn it too. I believe in papal infallibility but that's a very precise and particular term so I have to qualify that what I mean by it is exactly word-for-word verbatim how papal infallibility is defined in the Catechism (circa 1992) and in no other source. It's in this Catechism where...

Yeah v. 32 " ... we declare unto you glad tidings ..." (= Good News = Gospel = "the word of God" in v. 46)
