(Virtually every thread on this forum eventually becomes many subthreads leading down various rabbit and other varmint trails.)

Oh, other people in other threads sometimes have different tendencies (especially in fast-moving live threads), but I do try to click "Post Reply" at the appropriate post. For example, this way the "To [post number]" and "View Replies" links actually work as intended.

My intention also would've been clearer if I followed my usual practice and quoted the earlier post. For a number of reasons that were all on what you may call a technical side, such as formatting and overall length, I decided not to do so in this case. In retrospect, though, I've thought of a few alternatives, such as posting a summary of the earlier post. (I've always appreciated posts that quote earlier posts in a way that clearly shows what's being quoted.)

Good googly-moogly! I see you can get them from Our Lady of eBay, Our Lady of The Catholic Company.... and a host of others!

I'm surprised you can't get 'em at the ballpark!

The definition of a prophet is one that speaks for God ... so the entire scripture is written by a prophet .

No, a prophet first speaks with God directly, usually face to face or through a vision, then relays that information to the people. He doesn't just speak for God, he speaks to God directly. In other words, he can't speak for God unless he has first spoken to God.

Song of Solomon was not written by a prophet, period. God didn't say to Solomon, "thus sayeth the Lord, her breasts are awesome." No, that didn't happen.

There were no prophets present at all when the Bible was compiled. In the all the councils from 300AD on there were no prophets. When the councils were deciding which words of God the would keep and which they would throw out, there were no prophets.

You are absolutely right.

BTW, how are you enjoying the Religion Forum now that it has been fixed to everyone’s satisfaction?

Doesn’t it just ((feel)) better around here now?

Your alleged problem concerning Joseph's fathers resolves easily, as a natural consequence of the law of Moses and typical genealogical practice in Israel at the time:

This is a logical fallacy. You're arguing against the weaker point while ignoring the bigger and more glaring issue.

The bigger point is, that if every word in the Bible has a single source, meaning God, there shouldn't be any discrepancy in the stories at all. God knows all and is perfect. Therefore, His word should be perfect always.

Therefore, I can conclude that the Bible is not inerrant because there are flaws introduced by men.

So in the two descriptions of Paul's experience, the Greek word akuo, to hear, could in one case be emphasizing that they heard something but didn't know what it was, and as Paul described it later, he uses akuo to make it clear they didn't hear the sound with any understanding. No contradiction in affirmed fact.

You've proven my point for me. The fact that you have to go to another language to find your meaning, proves that the Bible as it is delivered today is not perfect and can't be read singly and lead the reader to the correct understanding.

But we're an agreement with that point, you do need to seek other text, other than the Bible to get the correct understanding of it's teachings.

The entire Bible is not the words of God.

Isn't the new and improved Free Republic Religion Forum just great now!

I can hear from all the various non-Christian religionists and cultists all around the world and beyond!

Good googly moogly is right! and good grief too.

Where is Luther when you need him? The RC in Luther’s day gave indulgence money to be saved, now they buy these brown scapulars to be saved. Somebody needs to nail another 95 thesis to the door.

Incredible I tell ya, these superstitious RC’s.

And you know this how ???

In religion, a prophet is an individual who is claimed to have been contacted by the supernatural or the divine, and to speak for them, serving as an intermediary with humanity, delivering this newfound knowledge from the supernatural entity to other people.

PLEASE NOTE***Scapulars are not blessed and only need to be blessed at time of enrollment. Enrollment by a Catholic Priest is a one time for life enrollment. Enrollment papers are included with each scapular. Our Scapulars are 100% Wool, sturdy and are the real deal. Please be careful about ordering scapulars that are imitation. In order to get the promise the squares must be 100% Wool. On other scapulars such as the Passion and the Fivefold the cord must be 100% braided wool. Imitation scapulars will not hold the promise when you die. Be careful. A brown Mt.Carmel Scapular can be either brown or black wool, any religious picture or if you prefer without a picture is ok also. It must not be ENCASED IN ANYTHING! It must hang freely about your neck. If you need a scapular longer or shorter or with a different picture we can help you, just ask. We are here to help the Blessed Mother put her garment on all of her children throughout the world. The days ahead may test our faith, make sure you protect your love ones with Mary’s Garment, Her Brown Mt.Carmel Scapular.

Medals are an extra .24 cent each to keep this devotion going. Medals however are not required, it’s just an option we provide.
