I just witnessed a couple of Orthodox posters get kicked off a "Catholic Caucus" thread. I thought, despite their differences, they had a mutual understanding that each sect was considered "Catholic". Are not the Orthodox considered Catholic? Why do the Romanists get to monopolize the term "Catholic"?
I consider myself to be Catholic being a part of the universal church of Christ. Why should one sect be able to use a universal concept to identify themselves in a caucus thread while other Christian denominations need to use specific qualifiers to identify themselves in a caucus thread?
Yo sho nuff racing on down the road and I’m having a dickens of a time ketchin up.
However, in my feeble way . . . I am working on a post about PASSION in the NT in response to one of yours above.
Interesting issue and Scriptures.
That is pretty inconsistent if you ask me...Can you show me anywhere in the bible where God tells us our intellect is a sound judge of truth?
I messed up on the links. Annalex got them right a few posts later.
I had a bad case of bronchitis one time (as an adult) and developed asthma from it. I had to use an inhaler, nebulizer and asthma meds for years. It finally went away, but I have to be careful with sinus infections that can go to bronchitis quickly. I still take Singulair, which helps a lot. I now have found out I have a cyst on my trachea! Don't know if related at all but I see a pulminologist in two weeks. If you have wheezing, don't ignore it. It could be adult onset asthma. Take care.
Has it?
Indeed all flesh will eventually come, but not the way you mean.. all flesh shall come before HIM for judgement not salvation and sonship
Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
My doc and I had one theory about what was going on with me, to wit: a bronchitis irritated the lungs, got the ashtma/coughing going, and then it was self sustaining and self-exacerbating.
But, as I said, an old friend from 100s of miles away just described a course VERY similar to mine. And she has no asthma. So now we're wondering if it wasn't a virus with REAL staying power all along. The fact that I did have a LITTLE shortness of breath this PM when I went out in below 20F weather but did not curl up into a helpless ball coughing until I blacked out suggests that something has changed ...
I have a son near you in Rock Hill SC that left us for the warmer weather..
Keep warm there.. BTW it is freezing up north too... it is all that global warming
No sweat.
I went to THE BOOK itself and as usual, will pontificate/spring board off of those verses.
Thx.
Be cautious with singular guys.. My son in law and I both took it when it first came out.. both of us developed tingling in our toes , a sign of neuropathies .
We had to go off of it.. I could not believe it when it was approved for kids.. they might not notice the tingling or ignore it
I will just as soon as you show me where I said the intellect unassisted by grace is a sound judge of truth.
"Ordered toward truth" does not mean "Is a sound judge of truth."
Of course it IS easier to criticize scholasticism if one doesn't take the trouble to find out what its tenets are. And that would be an example of how the intellect unassisted by grace is tossed around by the concupiscent and irascible appetites and confused by sin.
Revelation 12: 3 Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, 4 with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. 4 Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. 5 Her child was caught up to God and his throne. 6 The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God, that there she might be taken care of for twelve hundred and sixty days. 6 7 7 Then war broke out in heaven; Michael 8 and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, 8 but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, 9 who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it.
So 1/3 of the angels rebelled. What was their purpose? Hebrews 1: 13 But to which of the angels has he ever said: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool"? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent to serve, for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
The angels were sent to serve; 1/3 of them rebelled. Free will, my friend.
I appreciate scholarship, but I make sure it lines up with the word of God.. I do not trust my intellect to sift truth
I assume you’ve checked out such as this from Henry Wright’s work?

It lists diseases and roots in tabular form.
The rebellion of the angels was a part of Gods plan of creation, without the rebellion and the fall we never would have known all of Gods character of grace and mercy
(A good Catholic theologian died yesterday, Ralph McInerny (sp?), and that Psalm is a big part of our prayers for the dead and dying. Te decet hymnus Deus in Zion. It is true that He is due our hymns. May our flesh also come to Him.)
What faculty do you use to make sure it lines up with the word of God?
I gather that’s a CHANGE for the better?
Yea! Glad to hear of it.
