Religion I

The Philosopher's Corner, (and its varied forums) is for those wishing to debate ideas in an
environment relatively free of personal attacks. This does NOT mean that ideas are not to be
challenged and/or heavily debated. Bringing arguments from another forum to this forum or any
other PC forum totally distorts the original message made, gives a biased slant and is
inappropriate. Standing firm and making one's case on its own merits is the intelligent choice.
Attacking and/or challenging an opinion is fair game.. Attacking someone personally is not.

When one reads the bible, it must be done with an open heart, as well as an open mind.

Contrary to biblical misconception, one thinks with one's brain, not one's heart. If you open
your heart, you will bleed to death.

I have, on the other hand, been accused of being intolerant for simply suggesting that the
comments of an poster were in error. Actually there are those here who would contend
that the use of the word "wrong" is intolerant.

I don't mind being criticized for my views. I come here to debate and argue. But if the best you
can come up with is "HOGWASH!", that isn't debate. That's imbecilic behavior.

If it's hogwash, explain why it's hogwash.

If the Catholic Church has anything to be ashamed of it is accepting the queers of society into
it's inner circles. The controlling diocese are now infested with these perverts and the church is
now reaping the consequences. Right back to what I have always advocated. There should be
a season on queers and every hunter should have one of their heads mounted over their
mantles. Assuming of course you could cut the heads off without getting AIDS.

Very true words, my friend, but peace, no matter how transient, is desirable on occasion,
wouldn't you agree? Just a respite now and then. Did you care to conjecture as to why
Stephen asked you twice for your definition of Sola Scriptura? I kept wondering myself...

Good Morning!

Jesus never promised us circumstantial peace, my friend. He promised us inner peace. If we
primarily look outwardly to see how our circumstances are working out, we will miss what He
is doing to give us peace inwardly.

Sure, circumstances can be favorable for short periods of time. Sure, it's nice when that
happens. No question. But, when we live our lives by the words of Jesus, we seriously don't
care which way they are. In fact, we can even live to appreciate the tougher circumstances
even more than the placid ones because it is then that He will show himself to be greater than
them. Think of it in terms of Psalm 23. If there are no enemies, there is no need for Him to
prepare a table for us in the midst of them.

Sorry, I don't know. Usually if you need a plug-in they'll tell you and offer to download it. You
might need to have the person who sent the pictures to save them in another format and
resend. Have a great day. Outta here!

Good Morning! You said, "The God haters will show up soon enough." No one who posts
here hates God either. You need to get to know your fellow posters better... I think you're
reading something that isn't there.

A blessed good morning to you, too! It is so nice to see your shining face at this dreary little

you think of putting it on later.

Was reading the archives of Many Paths 1 and reminiscing about the good old days when you
were my reluctant sage and minder was the person who opened up my mind to the meaning of
spirituality in its highest form. I sure wish he was still around.

Although I have since made my choice to go with the thumpers and attest to Christ in my life, I
did enjoy his thoughts on life and God's presence in it. He is a very wise man. Sigh... peace

But basically, it's hard to justify sola scriptura on it's face, since everyone knows there are
apocryphal texts, and that some committee picked and chose which ones were included in
today's Bible.

Thanks for the sola scriptura lecture. Most informative and a fertile fount of thought.

Coinky: Here's the site: www.catholic.net/rcc/Periodicals/Issues/sola.html

Gerry The man who wrote it was George Sim Johnston. I assume he is a Catholic contributor
to their site. Do you have any comments to make about what was said?

I'm sorry... I was in a hurry to get it all in before I had to leave. I got the information from
doing a google search. They had a lot of sites. I'm not sure which one it was, but if it's
important to you I can go back and look. I'm sure you knew it was from a Catholic source. I'll
be sure to quote my source the next time I give such a lengthy posting. I usually do.

I'm sure that none of the people who post here hate one another...sometimes tempers get
heated up or feelings get hurt, but it blows over in time. Gotta go now...bedtime...sleep well.
Good night.
