Oh yes, so you would like to try your hand at “internet theologian” against a theologian of Benedict’s stature whose books and writings are studied by faculty and students in all the major theological departments of just about every college and university.
The point of absurdity is “Jesus Christ expects us to believe him like a little child. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.”
So why then did Christ command Peter and His successors:
“And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven,” and “Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”
Just believe like a little child, no need to teach and no need to teach as part of ONE Church, and no need to teach as only ONE truth. In fact no need to teach at all.
This explains why every Foursquare Church pastor and congregants of Osteen, Graham, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jim Jones, David Koresh, all believe their contradictory and conflicting versions, sometime with lethal consequences, as a little child.
What doesn’t get simpler is that Bible Christianity is so shallow that as it has been said even a paper boat will have trouble keeping afloat.

I was responding to your implication that the resurrection in NOT simple to believe. Tell that to Jesus.
Jesus Christ, Peter, John, and Paul give ample teaching on the resurrection, the spiritual aspects, the changing of our vile bodies, etc. Benedict puts it in his own words, and that makes him a theological Einstein?

One can’t get much shallower than embracing all the man-made traditions the RC church teaches, some of which were pointed out in my previous post, and ignored.

Like your organization, they also use the unscriptural phrase ‘God the Son’. So why the hate towards them?
