Thinking about words it is obvious that different languages have different concepts that may be translated with selective reasoning. A person may know what he wants to say but cannot choose the exactly precise word he needs to define his thought. I enjoy some word puzzles, and as I notice things...
At any rate, you believe the entire Bible is myth. And I'm pretty sure you relegate that belief to the account of Mary and her getting pregnant and moreso, staying a virgin throughout her life. Yes, it's Catholic dogma. Interesting. Of course, you cast that aside by saying the Bible is mythical...
I have my opinions on certain things, and in the long run or short run, depending on how a person sees it, I believe God sees each one of us and understands how and why we think and feel the way we do. That means to me that God makes the final decision.
Ok. Thanks for help with the vocabulary.
When the Church (Catholic, of course) claims something is dogma, according to the definition currently, it is infallible. Now I am not a theologian, but I'm figuring for something to be declared infallible it means it cannot be wrong or reversed.
I, as...
No, but one is generally bound to the earth because of the gravitational force. According to the laws of nature, it's hard to escape. Even birds can only go up as far as the law of nature allows. Can't see gravity, but we figure it's there. Somehow.
All right that is apparently true for you that you reason along the lines of Spinoza and/or Einstein. Although both Spinoza and Einstein were born Jews and educated in that milieu. At different time periods, of course. And thank you for offering your take on this. And of course this is a thread...
For one thing, I did not have any explanation of the Bible until I accepted a Bible study. It was a struggle to get me to that point. I wouldn't say I disbelieved in the Bible before that, I just did not understand it and my birth religion (Judaism) did not explain it to me although they...
I'll say this: According to Catholic Church reasoning, dogma is currently considered infallible. Said to be revealed by the holy spirit. And the Perpetual Virginity of Mary is declared as dogma. Infallible. Now that would seem to be in contrast to the theory of evolution, wouldn't it? I'd...
You and your fellow believers really haven't explained anything. In fact, at this point I'm beginning to think you and your fellow believers do not understand much. Except to repeat what others say. Therefore ... Have a Nice Day.
Oh, and yes, I was thinking about you and your opinions as I was reading the Bible. The city of Athens still has plenty of buildings that were dedicated to gods, just as it is written in the Bible, You should know this. Furthermore the vestiges of the temple in Jerusalem are still there to be seen.
It's OBVIOUSLY the choice of those who follow that line of thinking...If a leader of a religion like the Pope says he believes in evolution and also the perpetual virginity of Mary, do you think those are rather conflicting, unless of course -- one supersedes the other? Obviously there's a...
Why is that? If you can't explain, that's ok, I understand. But since you said it, you might want to consider explaining your viewpoint in detail as to how and what scientists found out. Thanks. And have a good evening.
It seems clear to me (obviously not everyone) that humans can be inhumane to other humans plus more said by evolutionists to be in the "animal" kingdom. Whether you think humans are animals or not, humans have OFTEN been vicious to each other plus more...but I believe that will not always be the...
Many things have disappeared because of fires and other calamities. The library of Alexandra is one example. It was burned more than once and "evidence" obviously could have been lost. Because of people's opinions and lack of discernment among those prejudiced against those questioning...
Aside from the fact that I agree with the unfolding of events (although not as some would make it) in the Genesis account as well as explanations that make sense to me, I have seriously come to question the statements claimed by scientists in many respects. Not all religions claiming to be...
