    Paul did not write Hebrews; we do not know who did

    The tweet is a Catholic priest (priests are assistants to the bishops in Catholicism /the Church, basically the Biblical deacons) with the same view and the same reasoning as @Nick M about the author of the book of Hebrews.

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    That's the right attitude. Ditto. Wrong attitude. When you start judging God, that's when you need to tell yourself, "Remember His grace toward me. 'There but for the grace of God go I.'" When I feel like judging, that's when I need to remember the grace that is being shown to me. Do you...

    Climate Change? What Climate Change?

    "41% of Climate Scientists" admit the climate agenda is 100% political partisanship. Not science.

    Climate Change? What Climate Change?

    Are we still going to pretend like this is science, instead of partisanship? It's naked partisanship. I don't have any problem with wanting to preserve the planet, I do have any problem when morals are trampled in pursuit of a political ideological preference. Whatever you want to do, it must...

    Guns!

    Barney Fife had to carry an empty revolver with one round in his chest pocket because he was so prone to negligent discharges. There are ways to safely carry, almost no matter what lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unintentional_discharge#Negligent_discharge

    Income Taxation - Just or Unjust? (Alternatives?)

    All sales tax or consumption tax or value added tax is regressive, with the exception of taxing things that poor people never buy anyway. This means gas tax, cigarette and tobacco tax, candy tax, alcohol tax (along with inflation) are all regressive, and should be things the progressive...

    Guns!

    Not even two percent of the population, in a country that now is obligated to grant an LTC to basically any law abiding citizen who applies? Those are rookie numbers.

    Suicidality and the Second Amendment

    Interesting how many of these stories end up in this thread. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/11/22/us/chesapeake-virginia-walmart-shooting Preliminary report: "Officials believe the shooter at some point turned the gun on himself"

    On the omniscience of God

    Me. And people who use language. Correctly. Which is prerequisite to good reasoning. Logic. God is a noun----yes? God is subject to no other noun. There are fictional terms and there are nonfiction terms. Time and space are nonfiction. So ideas don't exist? You're saying none of these...

    Has the Church Replaced Israel ?

    There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

    Has the Church Replaced Israel ?

    They were also that. But it was still very real.

    Why Evolution is real science - let's settle this "debate"!

    So, I have to have a long drawn out R sound to pronounce it? I'm from Boston. 'Sure' is pronounced shoo-ə (sometimes you can mash together the two syllables to make one, but I can't really type out how to do that in symbols, I don't know phonetics that well, but I do know that I struggle to...

    Has the Church Replaced Israel ?

    Yes but the leaders of the Church back then were the Apostles, and they were each flesh-and-blood descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That was a real distinction when the Church was in infancy. That distinction is gone now, but it was very clear back in the Apostolic era. The Church's...

    On the omniscience of God

    It's firstly grammatical. Time is a noun, and eternity is not limited by time. Timeless. Eternal things are not subject to time. If you want to argue that time is some other category of word, such as a verb, then by all means, but unless someone really wants to explore this option I'd rather...
