Just out of interest - who decides what Jesus says? Everyone of the Christian churches claims to follow what Jesus says and yet they disagree with each other. No Actress that line won’t wash - unless you have a personal direct line to Jesus that none of us know about.
But everyone does. Its called prayer.
True … but I am sure you know what I meantBut everyone does. Its called prayer.
But in reality its only second to the Pope-Phone.
Yup. I just had to find some way to work ‘Pope-Phone’ into a comment.True … but I am sure you know what I meant
God doesn’t talk to you in some manner? I hope he does.
What is Pope-Phone?Yup. I just had to find some way to work ‘Pope-Phone’ into a comment.
Heh. Well, I always used to ask annoyingly specific questions in my RCIA class (being an engineer, I do that). So when the concept of the Pope came up and he was described as “the first among equals” I said “what the heck does that mean? how can you be first in a pool of equals”. We argued back and forth and she said something of the effect that he was most in touch with God. So I reply “what, does he have a direct line to God or something?” And she says “yeah, its called the Pope-Phone.”
'kay.
Yes, but thats a joke right? The church doesn’t claim that the pope is “most in touch with God”. I hope that your teacher was kidding when she introduced the “pope phone”.
Of course she was. She just wanted to say something because she couldn’t answer my questions. Like when I asked how old we would be when our bodies were raised or how imaginary time worked into the Second Coming or why there is a Trinity and not a Fourity. She answered all those questions but the answers weren’t real answers because no one knows. But, as an engineer, I don’t like unanswered questions so I ponder crud like that.
Yes, I see. It is better to say “I just dont know” then to say something silly. You are an engineer, I am a mathematician. So, I need proofs, which (of course) I cannot have in any religion (by definition). So, I “just don’t know” is my usual answer (because I can only understand very little of what is even out there).Of course she was.

You preach homilies like that in our diocese you’ll be stoned to death! And rightly so.
I’m sorry, I don’t follow you…
