    United States vs. United Nations

    Canada and Greenland are vying for the honor rn. President Trump has broached the topic. It's an important topic that we need to talk about. Canada has slightly more people than California, so under our current Constitution they'd get two senators and a few more representatives than...

    The Joys of Catholicism

    It's like, you insist on reading the words through a mirror or something. Just read them directly off the page instead. Here are the four times He's quoted. Grin. $$ 1Co 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which...

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    Whether Paul did or did not write Hebrews aside, what are we to do with Biblical passages like this? Because Jesus also sounds like He's saying this too. How does that square with Paul teaching that we are saved by Faith Alone? Especially since Paul frequently warns us to not sin too. I mean...

    The Joys of Catholicism

    But bread was His body. Jesus said so. Prima facie. Those are the words He used. Some, like the JWs, insert the word "means" into the words of consecration. But those are insertions, and Bible corrections. The Eucharist, the host. No one ever said that. You're trying to twist my words...

    The Joys of Catholicism

    So why don't you believe Him? And notice, I don't have to answer this question, as this question does not apply to me, and it does mean that, initial plausibility is high for me because of what I believe, but for you, since you take His words here to be symbolic or metaphoric or allegoric, the...

    So is LOGIC ontologically real? Also to @Clete This is not a gotcha, I just need to know, in order to converse intelligibly with the two of you. How is logic different from free will or unicorns or justice and right and wrong or mathematics or the Hulk. Tell me!

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    OR you can just use bombastic rhetoric in an attempt to create a smoke screen and hand waving in order to distract people away from the fact that your pet theology is full of holes, lacks structure, and is "built" on sand. Right? 'Could do that too, no?

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    "Bunch of Mary's" is like exactly Biblical Scripture. Who is the famous "other Mary" in the Gospels, in your opinion? And don't forget Mary Magdalene. This was a case of mistaken identity, somebody thought, because evidently Jesus as a boy spent a lot of time with his cousins (so much so that...

    On the omniscience of God

    I'm never going to find a good authoritative definition of obtain. Here however is a link to an abstract of a philosophy paper published 20 years ago which features the word and makes it clear what it means in the literature. https://www.jstor.org/stable/20118694 Abstract My paper takes...
