No, it is not “merely” my opinion. The entire theology department where I teach agrees and teaches what he writes, and it’s a Roman Catholic university. What Dr. Allman wrote is conversant with Catholic teaching. I teach five days a week, and my lesson plans have been approved by the department head who has two PhDs.
And, you must have missed it, but I also quoted the word of God - Sacred Scripture - Colossions 1:20 and Romans 8.
Jesus restored ALL CREATION to God, not just humankind. It was foretold by the prophet Isaiah in Isa 11.6-9.
It’s in the Bible, Catholic Bible. It’s not something I pulled from thin air. I’ve given those sources almost since the beginning, so I’ve been following what the moderators want.
It is the OTHERS who have FAILED to support their view that Jesus only restored humankind. They offered NO EVIDENCE but their own opinion. The Moderator Warning, while meant for all, seems to me to apply more to them since they are the ones who offered no evidence whatsoever.
Now, unless you want to argue with the word of God, please drop the subject. This is a thread about Cecil.
Sirach, there is such a thing as “graduation.” I’ve been a TA for some years and upon graduation received a promotion. My specialty is the historical Jesus. I teach Christology courses, primarily, and some NT courses. As one who teaches Christology, I have to be conversant with the Christology of both the HS and the NT. No one drives me anywhere. I live about .05 miles from campus. There also exists such a thing as “physical therapy” and I was in physical therapy for a little more than a year. Last month I switched therapists and medications and do much better. I still ride an exercise bike for two hours each day as part of that physical therapy. I can’t walk long, long distances like I used to , but I’ll work up to it. I did not know my
private life needed so much updating on a board that’s
not about me. The “Lily Bernans” on Global Penfriends you linked to is NOT ME. There are other people with the name “Lily Bernans,” though I grant it’s not common, however my own mother and grandmother and one of my aunts are named “Lily Bernans.” That is not my age, and the other information is not applicable. I don’t know when I would ever have time to write anyone anything. People can believe me if they want or not believe me. It makes no difference to me and does not impact my life, but this is the last personal question I answer.
To bring the thread back on topic, Bubba, I do believe that Palmer broke the law in Zimbabwe, but if they find that only the guides and the licensing agency were to blame, I think people should lay off Palmer. If he truly didn’t know he was killing a protected animal, then I don’t see how he can be guilty.
I still can’t stand hunting and don’t consider it a sport, but I guess it’s necessary at times to thin the herds. I’m just such a big animal lover and have such a soft spot for them, even the ones that would kill me if I got near. However, I’m also a realist and fair. It’s entirely possible Palmer didn’t know he was killing a protected animal. I didn’t know about Cecil, but then, I’m not a hunter. His death saddens me, but if Palmer is innocent, I certainly don’t want to see an innocent man in prison. Prisons are for the guilty. I’m confident the true facts will come out in the days ahead. The fact that the agency had its license to issue permits revoked says it does bear at least some of the guilt if not all.
I think the horribly mean over the top animal rights Internet hunters may have a point after all. At least our prey deserves our fury.
Actually this could be culling…lot of dogs.
