There you go with those big words again, I think you need to take this up with a priest. What I believe is old, I’ll grant you that, at least 2,000 years old but its not tired. and never will be. God Bless, Memaw

That’s not a big word. Try supercalifragilisticexpialigodious. That’s a big word. 🙂

Now I understand where you are coming from. Pardon me, but being a literalist or a non-literalist had nothing to do with why God created dinosaurs and humans.

You’ve used sarcasm for every answer with little attempt to explain. What else can I say? Nothing better than answering with a non-answer.

We talk frequently about it. He publishes on some of the same topics I do. He would not find my position at all unusual or objectionable.

Human have always been athropocentric, in the sense that the world is all about them and their “salvation.” Spiders have always been arachnocentric. Humans should know better.

Unfortunately too many literalists don’t have room for God. They have decided what He can and cannot do. All in the name of Catholicism. . 🙂

I am still not sure how literalists and non-literalists connect with why God created dinosaurs and humans; but could there be some kind of power struggle as to which group of humans decides what God can and cannot do?

As for doing something in the name of Catholicism – the easiest way to check that is to find out what Catholicism actually considers Divine Revelation.

And what is that? The CCC accepts the big “E” word. Again…I’m missing your point. I’ve missed it all along.
 
What is really better than a non-answer is the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

In other words, when it is hard to distinguish the nature of a dinosaur from that of a human being, it is a good idea to check the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Of course that only works when one is truly interested in why God created human beings with an unique unification of body and soul while dinosaurs have a mortal body which decomposes.

In other words, a unique human nature of soul and body is not universally accepted by all peoples. Thus only interested people would check the Catechism of the Catholic Church if they were wondering why the soul.
Of course dinosaurs would have natural instincts and sentience like modern kitties and puppies.

In other words, I wouldn’t deny that animals, even extinct ones, have natural instincts and sentience.
But because modern non-human animals are non human, they don’t have a spiritual immortal eternal soul; therefore, they decompose without promise of resurrection.

In other words, even when animals exhibit some aspects of humanity, they are still not human beings. The promise of resurrection was made to humans because they have a spiritual immortal soul.

Mark 11: 1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a velociraptor tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’ "

4 They went and found a velociraptor outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that velociraptor?” They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. When they brought the velociraptor to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it.

Is that from the RSVJE (Revised Standard Version Jurassic Edition)?

I mentioned the idea of animals in heaven on another post. I assume you are a theologist with a different understanding than CAF apologists. They seem to think that animals in heaven are a distinct possibility. Perhaps you should take some time to correct Michelle Arnold. She may appreciate your (name removed by moderator)ut.

They “seem” to think that animals in heaven are a “distinct possibility” That doesn’t sound to sure to me. I believe I will stick with the Catholic Church teaching, Jesus did promise that His Church would never teach error. Do they “seem” to think Jesus died on the Cross for animals too??? God Bless, Memaw

Sticking with real Catholic Church teaching is the perfect choice. Even if it means giving up one’s pride. That is worth an eternity of God’s peace.

Isn’t it?? Isn’t that why God created us in the first place and why Jesus died on the Cross?? For our salvation!! One of us has missed something very important along the way. Spiders (and ever other part of creation, except mankind) act according to the nature God put into them. Pardon me but I don’t think I’m the one that’s being anthropocentric. God Bless, Memaw

Not really, I “think” I will choose to follow Church teaching. There! I can use my free will to choose. Thanks be to God!, God Bless, Memaw
