My interest is limited to noting the Church's position that as long as a Catholic believes God is the Creator, the opinion on how God created and how long creation takes can be determined by each individual. Further, I always note that in Hebrew, 'day' means a period of time that is marked by a beginning and an end, not just a 24-hour time period.You've demonstrated an interest in discussion in the past my friend.
That could be true, but I'm showing that I'm not turning by back on seeking the truth. We're never finished learning.Probably because you never had the desire to seek the truth or put the required work into it.
I have no quarrel with what you choose to believe.My interest is limited to noting the Church's position that as long as a Catholic believes God is the Creator, the opinion on how God created and how long creation takes can be determined by each individual.

The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox religions have tried to merge for 1,000 years. Many Christians don't consider Mormons to be Christians. Christians have been killing other Christians over those "few points of controversy" since the beginning of Christianity. There may be few points of controversy but some take them very seriously.Actually, there are very few points of controversy. Most denominations agree on basic doctrine. What happens is that some denominations that began as single focus ministries expand that focus to the exclusion of the whole. It becomes the tail that wags the dog and often comes in conflict with churches that have a broader point of view. For example, the large "health and wealth" tv ministries.
I treat my dog better than that and certainly don't punish him if he acts like a dog.God hides things then challenges us to discover them. Others he blinds to the truth.
The same Jesus who said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing”?Good point. Supports Jesus' remark that they were evil, likely demon possessed.
Yeah, Jesus, that wild and crazy guy! Always joking. They knew exactly what they were doing.The same Jesus who said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing”?
This is where you guys are AlwaysAs an unbeliever you don't know what I'm talking about. You are spiritually blind as a bat. Not to worry, God will fix that in due time.
That's not what you are doing. You - and the others like you - don't realize there will always be an opposite reaction. The more you - and the others - oppose faith in God, the stronger it will grow.That could be true, but I'm showing that I'm not turning by back on seeking the truth. We're never finished learning.
We 'do' sometimes stop listening though to those who turn to being mean spirited and angry over their inability to convince.
In fairness though, the Catholic church has robbed those angry Christians of 'the word' that can be depended upon to be true tomorrow or next week.
Is Jonah and the big fish story a true story? None of them can really say?? One Christian's true story turns out to be another's bowl of fish chowder.
Do you know where the majority of earth's heat is stored? Do you believe it is the atmosphere or the ocean? What do you believe is the world's largest collector of solar energy? The Ocean? Or the atmosphere? Do you understand that the surface of the earth is not heated evenly? Do you know what must happen because the surface of the earth is not heated evenly? Do you understand that the polar regions are the most critical location on the planet for climate? Do you understand why? Do you know that each pole has a different threshold for extensive continental glaciation? Do you know why? Do you understand why for the past 3 million years the planet has cycled between long periods of frigid temperatures with brief periods of warm temperatures?This is a place for Christians to ask some of the nagging questions, and for atheists like me to offer answers.

Clearly it's you who is judging.limited by the church's position is over history fleeting at best - who's judging who.

An odd thread title, for a story that is generally plagiarized.
Christians who kill other Christians aren't Christians.The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox religions have tried to merge for 1,000 years. Many Christians don't consider Mormons to be Christians.

Teachers mistreat their students all the time, insisting that they figure things out for themselves.I treat my dog better than that and certainly don't punish him if he acts like a dog.
The same Jesus who said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing”?
I agree. Most denominations are 'majoring in the minors' and have largely hijacked the Bible. The Bible is for reasonable adults, not children. In the hands of novices, it has become weaponized. Regarding the overview, atheists believe that nothing other than the physical/material is going on in the world. Religious people believe there is a great spiritual battle being waged between good and evil, with all of its nuances. A battle that, sadly, mankind is losing.
She is sweet but I don't need any help condemning me to eternal damnation.
