    Mortal sin, free will, and going to Communion

    My teachers are in the Bible. And what do you think Hebrews 10:25 alludes to anyway. "Not in the Bible" lol Hoping. lol.

    What Happens in Purgatory? Tim Staples

    How do you think this distinguishes you from Catholics? And define exactly what you mean by "died for". Does that mean your choices if you choose to sin, don't have any consequences? And why would they, if Jesus "died for" them?

    Mortal sin, free will, and going to Communion

    Yeah. 1st Timothy 3:1 Paul explicates "office of a bishop", which is an office, which is an institution, which was established by the Apostles personally, which was explicitly in the Bible intended to perpetuate "until the Lord comes". So the Lord hasn't come yet. So that means the...

    Climate Change? What Climate Change?

    That's fine. Point was, I can get behind an effort to reverse desertification. As a way to fight against whatever forces make parts of the Earth look like Mars. Mars is an object lesson, we don't want to be like Mars, we should wage war on any part of our planet that putatively looks like...

    Hello Again

    OK. I figured you were, and hoped you were. I'm glad I was correct about you.

    Mortal sin, free will, and going to Communion

    I told you before, you're the one who's rhetorically gifted, not me. Jesus wants us and instructs us to attend Mass on every Sunday (or Saturday evening; the vigil Mass), that's just the textbook obligation. Why is skipping Sunday Mass grave matter? That's up to Him, idk.

    Climate Change? What Climate Change?

    Others have challenged the speaker's claim about reducing deserts as a way to reverse climate change (if it's real, and if we should try to change it): they claim that using more livestock will offset any improvements in global climate conditions with increases in methane emission. Nonetheless...

    I'm fasting with zero carbs in part because I like the idea of insulin dropping. If I have a little carb, then I'll get a little insulin, and I like taking a break entirely from insulin while I'm fasting, that's one of the benefits of it for me. Incidentally I'm working on a 72-hour fast rn...

    For crying out loud, let farmers farm.

    Climate Change? What Climate Change?

    If climate change is a true global existential threat (big if) then the correct ideology is the same as if it isn't; we need to expand our Constitution. It's the only political situation and solution that is supported by unequivocal evidence and which enables people to solve the biggest...

    One World Order

    Don't let innocent people starve to death over your stupid eschatology. K? The United States means United Nations. You should have known that. Blah blah blah. Is too. It's the perfectest solution we have. Disagree? Provide a new idea. And just do nothing, is not a reasonable suggestion...

    Do you believe in predestination ?

    What I'm suggesting is that he had the choice. He didn't (choose otherwise), but he had the choice. He just did not choose it. He himself freely (although we can debate just how free he was; but that would have more to do with ethics or sin, than with metaphysics or ontology) did not choose...

    One World Order

    The current geopolitical model is multiple sovereign countries. The fruit of this tree is a whole lot of corruption, severe human rights violations, mass starvation, easily prevented and treatable diseases killing a lot of people, also risk of nuclear war. Other things too. It's not a good...

    Fasting thread

    This past week I did three 36-hour fasts. I ate supper Saturday night, and fasted until Monday morning, ate supper Monday night, and then fasted until Wednesday morning, and then fasted against until Thursday supper. One of the benefits fasting which I forgot about above, was that growth...

    One World Order

    I also like justice. The solution to nuclear war, and to justice, is to expand the United States Constitution. (And the dinosaurs died in the Flood, but this guy's talk is still informative about nuclear war. Filmed in 2018.)

    Do you believe in predestination ?

    "Even if everyone else eats poop ice cream, I Peter will never eat poop ice cream." vs. "You Peter will eat poop ice cream three times, tonight."

    Do you believe in predestination ?

    In the case of Peter, it was set in stone, but only by Peter himself. Peter determined to deny Jesus three times that night, and Jesus foreknew this. There isn't any loss of freedom there for Peter, and there isn't any diminishing of Christ's foreknowledge either. The only diminishing of...

    Do you believe in predestination ?

    Since Peter was not predetermined to deny Jesus three times, then in order for Jesus to know Peter would deny Him three times, He would have had to have foreseen Peter's eventual circumstances that fateful night. Jesus must have known ahead of time that Peter would be subjected to at least...

    One World Order

    Might not be too. World hunger. Of all the sovereign nations, we are number one in obesity. That's the opposite of poverty. We know how to keep our people fed. If your nation has a problem with poverty (meaning, every one of you all, since we lead the world in obesity; if you kept your own...
