All those books are available on Amazon & the Virgin Mary is said to obtain great favours from her Son regarding the green scapula, especially in the areas of physical health, peace of mind and spiritual conversion. She would particularly obtain the conversion of those who had fallen away from the faith and non-believers.That is a generic question and she needs to be more specific, but basically homosexuality is a disorder, since it does not generate life (heterosexuality does), some humans develop a tendency towards the same sex and that’s not always their fault, penguins have that behavior as well (according to your sister) and that would also be a disorder, penguins are not guilty of acting on their homosexuality since they cant reason like humans, but humans are guilty if they take their desire for the same sex and act uppon it (a man dating another man for exemple).
No, He created humans so we can be saved, its an act of mercy and love.
That is historically inaccurate, , , ,
People cant have the same hallucinations at the same time, Jesus Resurrection was an fact, there are historical records of it, outside of the bible as well.
I’d like to think we’re at least a little more sophisticated than the average penguin! Humans are superior to animals - we’re capable of higher/more complex thought and are able to adapt our environment to suit us (e.g. make fire). So, more is expected of humans when it comes to controlling our behaviour (or “animalistic instincts” if you will) which is the real issue as opposed to “being gay”.
Tbh we’re really not that exciting - most human behaviour is actually pretty boring! Still, this sort of idea goes back to ancient approaches to the divine/human relationship in the classical era where humans were basically playthings for the gods - to quote Shakespeare: “like flys to wanton boys, so are we to the gods; they kill us for their sport”. However, this is what sets the Judeo-Christian understanding of God apart. For us, it’s a relationship of love and this is something which can be seen throughout the scriptures. By entering in a covenant with “His people” God actually engages with us effectively as equals (we get a seat at the grown-ups table) because he wants us to be like him - this really comes across well in the writings of the prophets and is also the whole point of the incarnation: god became man that man might become God. When you think about it, that’s pretty darn cool imho! . . .
The Church doesn’t teach being gay is immoral. Do you even know what the Church teaches?
Another anti-Catholic lie. The Church condemned heretical translations, not vernacular translations in of themselves.
I doubt scientists would agree with you on that. I don’t as an engineer. While philosophy has subfield that looks at science, science is not under philosophy.
Which will be never, because science looks at natural phenomena, of which the supernatural, by its very definition, is not a part of. Science will no sooner discover justice than it will God.
Says… who? Science? You?
You know our religion is about how God, the creator of all things, allowed Himself to become human and be killed in one of the cruelest ways possible at that time, right? The same God who told us to turn the other cheek, that it’s not enough to not commit adultery but to not even think about it. That God?
There is more historical evidence for Christ’s existence than there is for that of King Arthur and Robin Hood. You will not find a serious historian that questions His existence.
Please read and follow the forum TOS. The KKK and Hitler references as well as the general tone of your response are most definitely disrespectful. The KKK persecuted Catholics, btw.
Citation please.
It’s hardly new. As an example, the Douay Rheims was published in the late 1500’s. Is it white washing to say books were expensive back then before the printing press was invented and so not everyone had books?
Never heard of it. None of my physics and chemistry classes ever called themselves by that. I have a Bachelors of Science, not Philosophy.
Do you have a degree in science, applied or otherwise?
That is a non sequitur. Being flawed does not mean we make appeals to “dear leadership”. Although I suppose Hitler, an Atheist, and Stalin, an Atheist, did develop a cult of personality that involves them being viewed as infallible leaders.
I don’t deny the existence of horrible things in the Bible. The difference is I read it in context, as opposed to dismissing Him as a blood thirsty sky fairy.
How about King Arthur who you also referenced?
Are persons inclinations? No. It is not stating that being gay is immoral, rather, the attraction is disordered and the actions are immoral. If we thought being gay is immoral, we wouldn’t have organizations like Courage (which does not use conversation therapy).
Considering you’re saying that science studies reality is part of a field which can’t agree on what the nature of or what reality is, yes. I have never heard of science being a field under philosophy.
But you just said that my religion predisposes myself to following and needing a “dear leader” type. So how come Atheism doesn’t affect your world view but Catholicism affects mine?
Well I’m sorry, but it doesn’t.
Again, context.
Really? Because you just alikened Him to King Arthur and Robin Hood, and all His barbaric acts. You don’t have to say the words “your god is a blood thirsty sky fairy”, it’s clear that’s what you think.
No that’s not it at all.
That’s not science. It’s like I said earlier:
No… we don’t “need” Atheism to exist. Unless Atheists need Theists to exist, which doesn’t make sense either.But your remarks can apparently be treated as factual, but my outside look into Atheism cannot.
Oh please. How condescending.
Or perhaps His detractors like to oversimplify to the point of error?
Considering we weren’t killed sadistically for killing Him, I’d say He’s quite reserved.
