  1. And a woman who’s a little plump, scotch girl, and a daughter who‘s thirteen.
  2. You try feeding that with a little 12oz roll. It ain’t gonna work.
  3. Agreed, we are not talking about the same thing. I understand your point. My point is that Christians have been spent the last 500 years beating each other up over your point, and should not do that.
  4. Ok, fine - BUT that line is for Christ to draw and for you to think about. If the church can and in fact does acknowledge that those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience may achieve salvation, SURELY those who think of themselves as Christians can acknowledge the same thing about other Christians, or at least spend more time consider the great beam in their own eye.
  5. And that’s something to meditate on, not a division bell. It is not for Christians to decide who is and is not saved.
  6. We are a department store and
  7. The left is getting better at growing beards and it’s making righties nervous.
  8. Again, this is academic and strikes me as the sort of thing that Jesus scolded the Pharisees and lawyers for obsessing over. I’m not saying it’s unimportant, but it’s a koan more than it is workable doctrine. This is what I mean about Christians screwing this up. Buddhists think about the question of one hand clapping and try to arrive at inner clarity. Christians take the question of faith vs works and burn cities to the ground.
  9. Yeah I meant to screwed it up. Mine is 4, 2, 3, 5, 1
  10. Ok, but so what? Mercy, love, being the neighbor are non-negotiable moral obligations.
  11. Ok, but that’s an academic question that millions died over and has driven more people away from the gospel than it brought to The Church (and vice-versa). How do you supposed Jesus would feel about that? You say Jesus “condemned Pharisees to hell” for works without faith, but does he? Or does he condemn them for following the law while neglecting their neighbor and a lack of faithfulness? Does grace drive the faithful to slaughter each other over the question of chickens and eggs, or would that be works alone?
  12. Respectfully, Jesus doesn’t say anything about how to be a Christian. He says a number of things about how to be.
  13. It doesn’t have to be that one either. I really like this one: Or for the Catholics and Catholic-adjacent: Watts on Chesterton
  14. Make your time
