Here's one good idea, out of Texas: https://us.cnn.com/2021/06/16/politics/texas-permitless-gun-bill-abbott/index.html

At least as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter what the Church 'fathers' thought, if it isn't consistent with what the Apostles thought. We have the Scripture because of the Apostles, they are the ones who either authored the NT, or who authorized the books of the biblical canon (the OT...

Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world...

Yawn. Violent crime is the problem that our government and police need to solve, which includes every offense against every human right, which you admit, includes the right to masturbate. Probably because it's "victimless". Hypocrite. Close. Buggery is as offensive against Christian...

So what.

Thanks for pointing it out. I guess it's really easy to forget that our basic difference is that you all think we're superstitious for believing in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It'd be like one faction of Hindus who don't believe in the Hindu polytheism, trying to get along...

Look up in your Aramaic Bible in Plain English translation that you have Keypurr please, 1st Corinthians 11:29 For whoever eats and drinks from it being unworthy, eats and drinks a guilty verdict into his soul for not distinguishing the body of THE LORD JEHOVAH. Does the LORD JEHOVAH have a body?

I'm glad he goes to Mass.

Go with the definition given by life long political scientists. Libertarians are liberals, like conservatives---they just lean their liberalism toward anarchism, while conservatives lean their liberalism toward paternalism. But they're both liberals. You can check this on the internet, this...

You're overstepping, which you might have guessed. Of course no one knows our hearts except God. And the Scripture doesn't even give us full clarity in terms of trying to ascertain whether someone really believes in Christ, so how can we now, well after the fact, deign to pronounce limits to...

Just don't forget about Orthodoxy Keypurr. That's all I'm saying. You're fixated on Catholicism, but Orthodoxy is as equally Trinitarian as Catholicism, and just as ancient.

Agreed. I think this reflects the idea in Matthew 16:18 perfectly: "I will build my church (the elect); and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

Don't forget the Orthodox churches Keypurr. Catholicism and Orthodoxy together comprise 60% of all the world's Christians, and it's only in the other 40% where we find anybody who doesn't believe that God is the Trinity. And Catholicism and Orthodoxy are the only Christian traditions that date...

Political ideologies form the forms of government. Monarchism forms monarchies, liberalism forms liberal regimes, socialism forms socialist regimes. Monarchs can't rule based on libertarian ideology (which is a bent of liberalism---a bent towards anarchism---as opposed to conservatism, which...

Catholicism doesn't conflict with any of that. Where did I say that. I never read anything like it in my post you replied to either.

For this thread that was a pretty long post. Tell me what I ignored in particular, that prompted this comment.

What about absolute monarchists, or absolute democrats? Both of them conflict with the liberal institutions constitutionalism, separation of powers, civilian control of the military and the rule of law. Can you be a Christian and believe in absolute monarchism? Don't forget that for most of...

The word 'elect' is a dog whistle to Calvinism. But it's always just a synonym for Church. If instead of reading so much into the word elect when it appears in Scripture, Calvinism just reads it as a synonym for Church, then Calvinists would all just be Catholics and Calvinism would be...

There's no trouble with the rendering of LOGOS as the Word, but let's see some other variants of the rendering and see if it brings any clarity: Original In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. The Voice In the...

That "new capitalism" plays out in the market and in the courts. Both of which are beyond the reach of lawmakers.
