Just following you guys's convo got me thinking from a Catholic perspective: There are arguably three really major apostasies in Church history, the Nicaean rupture, the East-West Schism, and then the Protestant Reformation. The Arians broke off and kind of melted away into the East. Both...

It's not decisive but it's really persuasive to see the Septuagint's usage of Greek words that are also used in the New Testament, because it's literally the lexicon used by most of Paul's Gentile converts, since the Septuagint (ancient Greek translation of the largely Hebrew Old Testament) was...

Do you get this lol? I don't think so. Islam IS Arianism lol.

I don't remember anybody saying that it was. I remember the opposite. Paul calls it a spiritual body. But it obv still had wounds or scars from the crucifixion, so there is obv also some sort of mapping to His old body in His new body as well. A chameleon can change its appearance to hide...

Might just depend on the situation, who knows. Maybe we want to present as an old man, maybe as a young man, maybe as even a child sometimes, again, who can say. It's certainly plausible that He could, no? I'm not convinced that scars, especially from martyrdom, aren't permanently in both...

$$ Ro 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. $$ Ro 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other...

Atlanta just tied the game against New England—except they didn't—the kicker missed the extra point. You really hate to see a team lose like that, as a football fan, but I'm a NE fan, so I just have to live with it. But now, Atlanta just got the ball back (after a three-and-out by NE) with...

Yes. I don't think I contradicted that. I'm just saying there are two parts to us, a spiritual part, and a physical part. wrt our body we know we're going to be getting new ones, spiritual bodies, which are like chameleons. We'll be able to change how we look just by thinking it, apparently.

$$ Ro 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. $$ Ro 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other...

NOT just like the Bible says. Just like THE CATHOLIC CHURCH says. Just like the Catholic Church says. Supra. That's legit funny. "The Office" energy.

That's what I said.

Context: There's the statutes and there's the case law. The latter interprets the former, and the latter is what's involved in precedence or stare decisis. You have to follow your hand, in common law. The courts have to follow their hand. They have to follow suit. It's one of the values...

Clete said goodbye. And no, he can't.

Your local Bishop oversees or supervises the Christianity in your diocese. He oversees it in both Catholic and in non-Catholic churches. Did you know that "The Godfather" Marlon Brando was only 49 years old?

Jesus was asked, "Can I marry a second wife?" and He said, c. "Not even IF YOU DIVORCE your first one."

Marriage is an institution, and a tradition, from antiquity, but marriage is also an organization, a very simple one, the most simple organization, just two offices, filled by just two people (Jesus outlawed polygamy formally); a two-member organization. You could argue that the guardians...

Without Arius and Arianism, there'd be no Islam. The Arians when condemned starting in Nicaea in the year 325 (the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, aka Nicaea I, is this year), disappeared or melted into the East. Less than 300 years later out comes Islam. Outta the East. Islam...

I don't have to make a case that you're being hyperbolic when you've made it so plain for everyone yourself. You're not a serious user at TOL Clete. That makes you a troll. No other option.

The Church doesn't make much of Revelation, at least not publicly (ofc the Bishops could always be hiding something Apostolic from us; you never can tell, as they always possess the authority to hide something Apostolic from us, for our own good; it is their discretion; they can always...

No argument. Post stands. Who gets to say what the Bible means? The lesbian pastor of a "church" flying a trans and faggoty flag? A Catholic pope? Pastor Bob? A logic professor? A "theologian"? Who? In all cases: us.
