That claim, which I ask you btw to quote/cite, is mere recognition that the early Church was One, and it was this One Church which recognized what we all today call the Bible. I am independent and unbiased through hard work and honesty. I have concluded that Catholicism is constitutionally...

If that argument succeeds, then yes it certainly does, it would prove that any foreknowledge is incompatible with free will. ofc, no argument. Yes. The beginning of my argument is to focus on the argument @way 2 go quoted and that some Open Viewers here have endorsed. If that argument...

Catholicism ofc asserts that all Scripture is the Word of God. Another Scripture that Catholicism fully asserts.

“ Whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee the right to possess AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles. ” This imo promises to be another landmark Supreme Court case re the Second Amendment. The Supremes will hear the case in early December 2026. It affects especially...

I'll try. Below is Way 2 Go's post containing an argument Open Theists use to refute the coexistence of foreknowledge and free will: This thread is about exhaustive foreknowledge, but if you endorse the above argument, you would reject any foreknowledge at all, as being mutually exclusive...

“ §1260 "Since Christ died for all, and since all men are in fact called to one and the same destiny, which is divine, we must hold that the Holy Spirit offers to all the possibility of being made partakers, in a way known to God, of the Paschal mystery." Every man who is ignorant of the Gospel...

“ §838 The Church knows that she is joined in many ways to the baptized who are honored by the name of Christian, but do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety or have not preserved unity or communion under the successor of Peter. Those who believe in Christ and have been properly...

The only "rule" is to "believe in Christ".

Being the only Catholic on TOL who engages in the theological side of things, I'm supposing this is addressed to me. We don't reject grace.

This thread's been immensely interesting for me as a Catholic because it bears on the Catholic Church's own constitution, which includes the papacy and the episcopate, with the pope wielding absolute ecclesiastical power, being judged by no man. The dispute between JR and Clete is the scenario...

Anybody here familiar with either Huemer or Budziszewski? Huemer defends "ethical intuitionism" and is a moral realist, while Budziszewski is a natural law moral theorist, and a Christian. Budziszewski's particularly main point is that moral skeptics are usually not really morally skeptical...

I think this is a constructive addition to the thread RD.

Even in spite of Pastor Bob Enyart's best efforts, I still find it prima facie, and also upon deeper examination and reflection, implausible that God "[crossed] an actual infinity". https://theologyonline.com/threads/gods-eternal-past.25420/

Are we collapsed yet? Did I miss it? Are we living in post-collapse America now?

The news this week—the chorus insisting that Secretary Hegseth should resign or be removed over the Iran conflict—has got me thinking about resignation in a different key. I disagree with that chorus. But I want to take the logic seriously, because I think the people calling for Hegseth's head...

Based on both of yours input, I found this out: Gemma 4 31B: Bob Enyart represents a significant intersection between Mid-Acts Dispensationalism and Open Theism, serving as a bridge between the Mid-Acts hermeneutic and Open Theist ontology. While the "founding fathers" like Cornelius R. Stam...

I'll take your word for it. Why doesn't Paul talk about the Eucharist more often? idk. I can only guess. Part of Catholicism is that Catholicism is presupposed in the New Testament, so we believe the Philippians, Colossians, Galatians, Corinthians, and Romans (ecclesial communions) were all...

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/us-economy-iran-war-five-charts-rcna598412 “ The Census Bureau reported last week that the median U.S. household income hit an all-time high in 2025, while the percentage of people in the U.S. living in poverty fell to its lowest level on record. ...

What I'd like you to do¹ is supply some doctrines of Enyartism, or, some principles of Enyartian Scriptural interpretation (Enyartian hermeneutics). I saw just recently on TOL JR appeal to you, in order to answer a question about Enyartism, so I know you are not only an Enyartist and Enyartian...

We collapsed, then we came out the other side of the collapse, but it looks like nothing happened somehow. It even looks better now? :unsure:
