Clearly he needs to be schooled in scripture.
Unless you forgot the /sarc tag, it is you who needs the remedial scriptural education
The following is the money quote:
God “created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfillment.”
IOW we are responsible for our own lives -- God gave us Free Will. To pray for something to make our life easier is positing God as Merlin Writ Large.
The Pontiff nailed this one perfectly.
More anti-Catholicism — I know if you were to respond to all the anti-RCC threads you would not have time for anything else but I do want you to have the chance to have look-see.
Why so many so-called Christians here at FR decry The Church makes no sense to me. Perhaps the idea that Jesus founded His Church and it wasn’t “buffet” theology and it is the only True Church that can trace its lineage to Him is a sore point...?
As whacky as I think the Pope is, God is not our celestial butler.
(after Dennis Prager)
Scripture, schmipture, he’s the pope! He knows better!
Dear Pope:
1. Were Adam and Eve real people? Where did they come from, as real, individual people with a free will? How did the “big bang” produce Adam and Eve as original, innocent, human beings?
2. If not, how do you account for the beginnings of sin and total depravity?
3. And how do you account for the genealogy of Christ? Is there a Messianic line of descent from the “old Adam” to the “new Adam”?
4. When you lose Adam and Eve, you lose the gospel as a result.
5. It’s a shame I have to school you on this matter. You need to check your premises and reasoning.
