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.

I'll take it as a yes.

I'm not holding my breath. Until Republicans have more legislative power Democratic lawmakers basically gerrymander (but with laws) to circumvent Supreme Court rulings, as we've seen just in the past c. 12 months. This Republican Congress should impeach one of the three Democratic SCOTUS...

Yes there is, to stop the Democratic ideology. You can do that and vote Republican, it's not either-or.

Would it be surprising to learn that miracles still occur today? Honest question.

That whole "cohort study" thing is amazing in its duplicity. I mean it is literally textbook cherrypicking, but call it a "cohort study" and mention "cohorts" and all of a sudden it's whitewashed. Ridiculous. smh.

When you do it that way we're number one and it's not close. Of course doing it that way is cherrypicking on the part of gun controllers (human rights violators). So don't do it that way. We're absolutely positively number one in the world in civilian owned guns and it's not close. We're...
