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.

I don't bully I challenge you in whatever way you're leaving as an option. This is a persuasion website, we're all here trying to persuade. When you cut yourself off from normal means of communicating by being nonresponsive then you are the one deciding how we will have to deal with you. You...

How can we preach the Gospel better?

Is that a .50BMG 'bull pup'? Wow....:D

The New Covenant was dedicated by Jesus, Hebrews says that Heb8:13 " In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away." I don't read 'replacement' in Romans 11 it's grafting branches into one plant. The original...

Shrug. I don't know what you're talking about. They are very simple sentences. Let me show you again. If you are elect, there is nothing you can do to alter your destiny. If you are not elect, there is nothing you can do to alter your destiny. Now let me erase the antecedent from each...

They were well crafted, but I'm no genius to do it. The trouble you have answering them is because of your rhetoric, it doesn't fit your Calvinist narrative and so you, as you now admit, evaded them. The rest of your post only belies your radical misunderstanding of Catholicism. Par for the...

Oh this ain't no "game". Your theology stinks. And you evade the fact. You either can or you cannot change your eternal destiny. Your theology says No. It's wrong.

That's all I was sayin. That's Calvinism.

Evasion. Deception.

Adam ate = the fall How's this "before the foundation of the world"?

Of course. After all, it was Paul, writing to those formerly pagan Corinthians, who said and I quote 1st Corinthians 11:25 " After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of...
