    Sacred and Profane

    I don't think it's the sacred and profane mixing at all. God divinized it, and now it's all sacred, just like when He claims a human person they will become holy, and it is not considered a "mixing" because God wholly sanctifies them. It must also be remembered all that exists is good in itself...

    Open to anyone: Question about Barabbas in the gospels.

    1) So you think. Seems to me as if he is being "fought against without a cause," as the Psalm says. 2) A commentary. 3) In the words of Hopsin: "Man, everything is “what if?” — why is it always “what if?” Planet Earth “what if?”, the Universe “what if?” My sacrifice “what if?!”, my afterlife...

    Can it not exist?

    There are lots of things that exist without my detection, I know this every single time I come to learn of something that exists (for it is not that it was made when I came to know about it, but it existed independently of my detection, sight, and understanding before I received knowledge of it).

    You can not find God as a physical being

    What about the definitions you have received don't make sense? I've asked people that lots of times and I can not recall a time when their definition didn't make sense. How are the definitions not convincing?

    How to prove a personal god exists

    This would not prove that deity necessarily. Also you have a glorious name.

    Open to anyone: Question about Barabbas in the gospels.

    Indeed, the Bible is to me a human and divine document, so lots of writing devices and even mundane things (like someone asking for their coat be delivered to them) are in it. Not only that it is a high-context book where a lot is just not said, and it's context is the Church. Mass can be...

    Michael Flynn says Covid was created by ‘global elites’

    I find it fascinating how QAnon is still going. I remember looking at those posts and having fun with the interpretation years ago, seemes like another lifetime ago. They're mostly harmless but it'll be cool to see where this all goes.

    You can not find God as a physical being

    Maybe, although this brings up a question to me of what the condemned will see at the Final Judgment? I'll have to read more to find out. I've always assumed they'll see God, which I think is correct, but how this interacts with belief and so on is going to be interesting to get a definite...

    Happy Thanksgiving

    I am most certainly going to experience this exact meme in my life soon. The stomach opens up a pocket dimension when the pie comes out, there's always room.

    You can not find God as a physical being

    I do not think God is a state of consciousness or a quality of myself. I think I can learn about God dimly from myself and other things. I think when one's heart is purified then they will see God, as the Lord Jesus said. Or even those in the way.

    Basis of Belief

    I think he simply finds the word "detriment" to be a non-objective judgment on what it is, but perhaps his answer will differ.

    That's a good one too.

    Open to anyone: Question about Barabbas in the gospels.

    I've always thought his name meant "son of the father" and because the Israelites wanted him and not the actual Eternal Son of the Father the Church just reeled in the irony of it all so hard it became a huge inside-meme and so that's why we have it in all four Gospels. Perhaps also a play on...

    SALVATION BY THE SABBATH.

    Sabbath is part of the 10C. I suppose then it legislates loving others and is compulsory.

    Jesus Was a Druid?

    To align Stonehenge for... [enter rant which connects Jesus' visit to Britain to every conspiracy theory ever here]. And that's why Joe Biden is President right now.

    SALVATION BY THE SABBATH.

    I agree, and I keep this Commandment. Concerning the Law from Psalm 18 (LXX/Vulgate): "The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones. The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is...

    It just seems like religion only benefits men...

    So you think.

    Arius was correct about Jesus

    I don't see why there wouldn't be doubt. Any text I think, and this is not just the Bible, which is complex is going to have multiple interpretations which are all compatible with the words of the text but incompatible with each other. I think this is borne out by the debates on the meaning of...

    Jesus Was a Druid?

    Separate from that account I think people should unironically plant trees for Jesus, because nature is really just one giant Temple in my view. On top of that trees are good for the Earth, provide cool in the horrific season of Summer, the experience is relatively cheap and can provide you...
