"RC apologists"

I hope no one saw you prematurely doing your endzone dance. Its pretty hard to put that back in the bottle.

Do you think that all Catholics operate like a Cyborg hive; that we share the same mind" You made a claim that "RC apologists" and then proceeded to show the opinion of a single Catholic who does not deny the resurrection is miraculous, only that definitionally, God doesn't need to work miracles on Himself.

It is that same lack of reflection and rush to conclusion that has impaired so many of your positions and arguments.

I so hesitate to wade in on this debate as I honestly have never heard whether or not the resurrection was indeed a miracle ever questioned.

I have always considered everything God has done a miracle.

Father Corapi has said that God breathed only one word and that Word is Jesus and from this Word everything came into being. Everything that is except the Triune God. Certainly the creation of the heavens and earth along with everything in it is miraculous. Which is why His revealed Word is so much more infinite that just the words contained in the Bible.

A miracle by its definition is a super natural happening which cannot be explained in human words and understanding.
Some definitions refer to it as an Act of God.

In light of this, there can be no doubt that the resurrection was in fact an Act of God and therefore a miracle.

It is pointless to try to defend otherwise and it is most likely that it was said in haste or without thought as to the implications or repercussions.

Much like when one poster here claimed that it is a miracle that Jesus was/is sinless. That is no miracle, but rather the very nature of God.

lol. You didn't believe that a RC said the resurrection was not a miracle, and then (I can only guess at the humiliation) I gave you that very comment made by Wagglebee.

And now you say "so what?"

This is the pattern around here. RCs are skeptical. They ask for proof. They get the proof. And they're still skeptical. They say "so what?"

No surprise here. RCs do not believe Scripture; why should they believe their own posts?

your endzone dance

Thanks, I just might. If you'll read back in this particular exchange, we can all see it's the end of the 4th quarter; first and one. I score. The clock runs out. You lose.

And to think it was all due to a fumble by one of your own teammates.

That's gotta hurt.
