Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue. - John Adams |

The Neverending Story (The Christian Chronicles) -- Thread 161
I have noticed you do this a lot. I guess we should then say (when referring to your church): Catholic [sic].
I take this as a plus for scripture alone interprets scripture, welcome to our side SD. :-)
LOL!
Let's see. My cats have a nice, warm house, all the food they want, cozy places to sleep, birds to watch out the window, two kids who cuddle them, pet them and play with them, clean litter boxes...I think they already are in Heaven.
My idea of the ideal vacation is to be a cat for a week. Sleep all I want. Eat when I want. Do what I want.

Indeed. dignan3, I think it goes without saying that Catholics don't regard the Reformation as a good development, or as a reforming of anything. There is no need to belabor the point or be overly pedantic. We can't very well expect all of these Protestants here to accept being called "Protestant" by default, because of common usage, if we object to the commonly used term "Reformation."

Excellent point, and I think comparing Scripture to Scripture is the best way to form correct interpretations, but I wouldn't use the phrase "all it takes".
Just the other day I was thinking, "what possible new subjects haven't we touched on in here?" and I thought we'd probably be discussing animals in heaven soon. And lo and behold. lol.
There were subsequent miracles that the sorcerers were unable to duplicate, thus showing that the God of Moses was most powerful.
Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer. The sentence of the day is something I find absurd. Yesterday we had Havoc speak of how there is no private interpretation going on and today we have the simple "Scripture interprets Scripture" statement.
You might call it the daily "I just read the Bible" quote.

The most absurd post I can remember is when some RC (allend?) posted that because Jesus is called "the second Adam" that it makes Mary "the second Eve". That one is hard to top on the absurdity meter.
Maybe he thinks he's misspelled it? ;o)
What're you doing here during the day? On vacation?
We should all know by now that there is a reference to entire "households" being converted and baptized. This reference is ambiguous and, oh my!, open to interpretation.
SD
Exactly. How could Jesus be married to His mother?
(Unless it means something else....)

Some days are busier than others, and some months are busier than others. If the thread is not moving too fast, I can keep up even on a moderately busy day at work, just periodically refreshing it to see new posts. If a comment to me requires a long reply, I sometimes have to put it off until evening. November is shaping up to be a very busy month, so I will probably not be posting as much.
