    Constitutional Monarchy

    You're not following the discussion. Catholicism and the papal office is an ANALOGY. Leave the thread, or bone up on it so you can contribute constructively to it. [Redacted.]

    I did not. Why don't you just put me on ignore like @Clete you're driving yourself mad. 100 percent just missing the point. You're not following the thread. You came in suddenly, and all you did was take a potshot at me. Completely off topic btw, which I know you think is VERY WRONG. Just...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    In Catholicism there is a common motive to continue the Church. On paper the college of bishops could conspire to usurp the papacy but then you no longer have the same Church. Under such conditions you'd have to think that while the true papacy exists metaphysically, it is vacant because the...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    Here are some people RECENTLY who have not been under the law—they were ABOVE the law: Hitler Stalin Lenin Mao Castro Noticing any pattern? This is why we are so resistant to the idea of an absolute monarchy. Our American Founders' experience with the British crown ('the crown' is just...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    King David was under the law, in the sense that he was an Israelite Jew, and he along with all other circumcised Israelite Jews was under the law of Moses. Except David committed not just adultery, but murder. But he wasn't arrested or removed from office. He was judged by no man, since he...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    'Love this thread, because I enjoy discussing office ontology, and it’s also one of the few times @Clete and I have agreed on anything in the same thread lol. In Catholicism we have a c. genuine absolute monarchy—the papacy. Yet the college of bishops holds custody of the papal office itself...

    The continued policing problem in America.

    Germany was the WORST country within the last 100 years. Worse than Stalin and Mao. Why? Because Germany has always been a prince in the history of Western Civilization, but then in the 1940s you went completely off the rails and joined Stalin and Mao. How did that happen? And now we've got...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    'Agree with @Clete. I never saw the bridge between the fountains of the deep (Dr. Walt Brown's HPT) and comets and/or asteroids¹—and its connection to Pluto's system was even further and farther out there. Clete's argument is more-or-less the same argument used against abiogenesis and the...

    https://theologyonline.com/threads/philosophy-language-the-animals-and-free-will-people-and-logic-an-essay.48697/#post-1921812 The above post would I'm sure fail an AI-detector test, even though it was prompted with organic homegrown human content (as shown in the thread), the LLM AI-ified it...

    On the omniscience of God

    As I said, Carry on. Or don't, and get in the arena.¹ Expose your views, subject them to scrutiny. Either way. It's your free will choice. Whether or not God already knows your choice, it's your free will. ¹ Theology Online TOL is an arena, in case you didn't know. And some TOL users...

    THE CHURCH DID NOT BEGIN AT PENTECOST

    Did Jesus bare our sins in His own body? $$ 1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body

    THE CHURCH DID NOT BEGIN AT PENTECOST

    What does early Acts have to do with anything. Here's Peter in 1st Peter $$ 1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body Sounds like 1st Corinthians $$ 1Co 15:3 ... Christ died for our sins

    What happened at Pentecost?

    Are you bound to not commit adultery? Is your wife bound to submit to you? If either of you go wrong here, what does it mean to say, "There is no sin in Christ"?

    Think what you want. You're the one who is no longer willing to subject what you believe to scrutiny, not me. "Carry on."

    This is not helping the cause though, when you find content on TOL that performs like this on an AI-detector: This was just me copying and pasting a TOL post into the thing, and it spat out this response. Nobody needs to come to TOL to ingest AI slop. You can do that on your own time. Even...

    THE CHURCH DID NOT BEGIN AT PENTECOST

    I'm not seeing the difference. I know you see a difference, but I don't see it. In 1st Corinthians Paul calls Christ the Passover, the Passover was sacrificed for sins, and then it was eaten, again for sins. Paul said Christ died for our sins, Christ said He had to die, and to preach...
