Semi-Pelagianism is distinguished from Pelagianism which believes man does not need God or His grace at all to repent, believe and convert.

That's what a Calvinist would say. Catholics (and Arminians, and semi-Pelagians) would say both, the Holy Spirit (His grace being equally distributed to all) and the man's free choice.

You said, "justification does not rely on what we do, but on what Jesus did for us." So what was the difference between St. Dismas (the good thief) and the other guy then? You're thought there is apparently only partial. That was my point.

The particularly interesting part for me was the 1980 Mt. St. Helens' eruption's newly formed rocks which radiometrically dated to millions of years ago, even though they had clearly just been made during that eruption.

Here is a video of former President Obama where he sounds like Gary K (to nobody's surprise). "Nobody's hands are clean" (about 2:00 in) ---- false. Hamas (Israel's neighbors) murdered 1200 innocent mostly Israelis (there were some American victims but we don't even talk about that). Israel...

But that's Calvinism. The other thief didn't respond in faith. Based only on the above ("Gary's post" which you quoted), the only reason St. Dismas repented and believed in Our Lord, is because Our Lord chose to impose His mercy onto Dismas, but not on the other thief. Surely the two were...

I don't like this guy, but the question is valid.

Explain how it applies with Israel " doing "whatever it takes to prevent another 1200 innocent civilian people from getting butchered by Hamas."" "

From today's Wikipedia: " Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information...

How about confirmation bias?

Forever. So what's that look like in the long-term? Looks like murderers (e.g. Hamas) get away with kidnapping, rape and murder, forever and ever. Because we jurors can't come to an agreement. This is why it's beyond reasonable doubt, and not beyond all doubt whatsoever.

I hope she succeeds. She's very "wet behind the ears" and needs professional catechesis, sounds like.

I feel like the judicial department of our government is underutilized. Courts sort facts from fiction on the regular, we need more of that in our society and we've got this organ of government which is specifically commissioned to do it. I know it's pie-in-the-sky and that it would take an...

We'd have to render a verdict together. You would convict them of murder but I wouldn't. That'd be a problem if we were on a jury.

Good thing we're not on a jury.

Bears repeating "powerful people don't want to hear that they've made "trillion-dollar mistakes."" Now include in there not only people who've made poor choices with money and whose reputations could get dinged, but people who've made investments and who are very anxious to earn returns. If...

It's murder if it's unjustified. Which is why it "depends an awful lot on whether they are engaged in doing "whatever it takes to prevent another 1200 innocent civilian people from getting butchered by Hamas.""
