You're a bad father. All those other teams out there and you encouraged your son to like the Yankees. That's inexcusable. :-)
Dave, if somebody has to be the Beast, I'd hope it would be you. A kinder, gentler Beast. SoothingBeast. ;o)
You aren't a Jehova's Witness are you? I think we still need one of those. :-)
Haven't we gone through this before, and demonstrated that logic doesn't work here?
But it is only "logic" that would prevent the subject from returning. And since logic doesn't work here....

Depends on your usage of the word "that".
As you point out, it is all speculation. It can be fun, one can pull together a lot of interesting connections, maybe even make a doctoral thesis out of it. But it is all speculation. It can prove nothing.
I guessI'm now just wondering - what isn't theory? isn't our faith a very theory of explaining the universe? am I missing something?
I guess it boils down to what your purpose is in reading and studying the text. You can look for meaning and inspiration, or you can look to deconstruct and explain away all meaning. Ultimately, post-modernism is nihilism.
Marianism is blashpemy.
I don't think the gospel account specifies how long Mary and Joseph had been betrothed. It makes a difference if they were planning on being married the next week, versus another year later.
Oh.... I love this game! (20 questions, right?)
Are you Bahai?
Read it again. Jesus says that His time had not come yet. She ignores Him and tells the servants to do what He tells them. He was reluctant to start His ministry. She made Him begin with His first public miracle.
Sounds like interference to me.
This was not the beginning of JESUS' ministry.Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.This was the beginning of JESUS ministry.
[17] And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
[18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
[19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
[20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
[21] And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
It certainly can be.
And your non-response response says it all. Thanks for playing.
The Catholics don't post as much at night.
It was still funny. I didn't peek ahead; I read the thread from my previous stopping point forward. It was funny to see the mounting anticipation, and then the full barrage.
Everyone get's one chance to tell how they relate to Christ before everyone else jumps on to prove them wrong. :-)
Of course, if you pick the "right" "team" we can offer you a certain amount of.... protection.
