I thought Neanderthals supposedly married Homo Sapiens Sapiens? Are they saying that the offspring from these marriages suffered from infertility, like donkeys and horses and mules?

Prove it.

A typical 'Protestant-istic' way of looking at our faith, with 'overweighting' on our scriptures. Examine the historical institutions of the ancient Church, and there's no room for any doubt.

He's vehemently Antichrist so this is actually just more evidence in support that He indeed did walk the earth. I compliment him for honesty and integrity because I can't find a PhD in a relevant field who appears to wish more that He never existed. [Edit: iow Carrier (with honesty and...

In fact there isn't the slightest hint of circumcision being taught by anybody in the New Testament, with the exception of those who are characterized as troublemakers. Circumcision seems to represent the Old Testament or Old Covenant.

In other words it's not demonstrated because it's basically not demonstrable. 'Convenient.' Nor with evolution, as you've just confessed above. You're arguing against yourself. Yes. The Resurrection of Christ is actually way better supported than evolution is, and it requires way less...

Right. I think the main reason I hesitate is because there are other passages where it seems to describe a two-part 'model' of humanity rather than a three, although I agree and admit that Paul seems to have a three-way division in mind. Perhaps Paul's spirit and soul together equals what...

I don't know who wrote Hebrews and so I don't know if he or she learned justification by faith from Paul or not, but he or she certainly knew justification by faith and knew that it is taught in the Old Testament because the OT scripture is quoted in Hebrews just as surely as it's quoted by...

I think the Scripture is at least equivocal on the matter. I say overlap meaning that mainly 'spirit' and 'soul' denote the same thing, but maybe slightly distinct. Certainly I think that our physical body is one thing, and then our immaterial part or parts is another, and I think there are...

Spirit and soul are overlapping concepts in the Scripture.

The Lord preached the 'DBR' to His disciples; this account of His 'earthly ministry' is well supported in the record (i.e., in the four Gospels). It was before the 'DBR' actually occurred, and none of them 'got it'. And then when the 'DBR' did happen, they still didn't 'get it.' It wasn't...

Correct and agreed. It's fundamentally illiberal to teach history in an imaginary 'moral vacuum'. No such state exists. Wicked is wicked. Slavery was wickedness (and by the way, slavery fundamentally conflicts with America's own founding concept----'liberty' coming from the Latin word that...

Granting the chemistry and biology that contributes to medicines like the covid 'state of the art' vaccines which have contributed to the saving of a huge number of lives over the past two years, I take issue with evolution being "elegant" because it requires improbabilities compounded, such...

OK. So what I'm clocking now is that there was one 'gospel' that Jesus personally preached before He sent out His disciples (A), then there's whatever 'gospel' His disciples preached before the 'DBR' (B), there's the 'DBR' 'gospel' that Christ taught His disciples before the 'DBR' (C; aka...

Gee thanks! ;) 1st Corinthians 2:1 " 1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." :noid: lol

Sorry Derf, hope you 'land on your feet'!

Luke 2:19 " But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."

You missed it. The natural branches broke off. They are grafted in to Christ just like the wild branches are. We're all in the same boat, all being adopted as sons and daughters by the Father through Christ.

Sad theological misunderstanding on the part of the priest. I wonder if he was confused about the Church being the "Body of Christ", and so thought he was saying the same thing in saying "we" instead of "I". There's definitely an order to things, just like in the Bible. Who? And where are...

Christ.
