    It's not a secret what Catholics believe. We wrote lots of books about our belief - for example we wrote a part of the bible.

    Aha ...

    I am a member of the catholic church. Is this clear enough? And you are not the only one who has problems with names. Just a few moments ago I asked myselve for example wether Alkuin (Ahlwin) and Merlin (Merlin) were the same persons - so you can see: because I'm not Alkuin I'm not Merlin too. Sad thing this - but now we spoke about this tragedy and everything is okay. And still mother Mary ... is mother Mary ...

    God's 'thoughts/Word' is the Bible, but not exclusively. God's Word has been given to us as well by the Prophets/Saints which came after Jesus.

    .

    You can think and say whatever you want, you can even say a cat is a dog if you want, but it doesn't convey anything to anyone and its lack of communication makes it nonsensical.

    No it doesn't reflect God's plan, it reflects man's curiousity about what God created.

    Go tell an astrologer he's not studying stars. As for astronomy, if it is translated directly it means the 'laws' of the stars, which would be the study of stars as well, but from a different aspect than astrology.

    Teleology directly translated means 'words about the end or finish'. Christianity is not about the 'end' or 'finish' about anything. It is to attain unity with the divine in His Kingdom, which is a different world than the one we live in. Jesus showed us how to achieve this by revealing a fuller vision of God than had been previously known. He showed us that God consists of Pure Love, and to attain unity with God we must change ourselves and become like Him, something which can't be done by simply following laws. It can only come from God Himself through His Holy Spirit.

    Logical directly interpreted would be 'correct thoughts/words', so who is to tell us what the correct words are? Would it be the Fathers/Saints of the Church, who have proven themselves worthy through charitable acts and councils, or would it be you who has not proven anything to anyone?

    In Christianity humility is a prequisite since it opens up one's heart and mind to God. All human pride/ego is therefore the anthesis of 'holiness'.

    Actually the word Almah does not suggest virginity....sorry that is wrong. the Septuagint which is partly written over many centuries and by committee does not create the virginity either, in fact there are several translation errors in it as it moves from Hebrew to Greek to English in fact the line reads better
    If you know Hebrew the verb is not about predicting the pregnancy.....but other than that...

    (Proverbs 30:18-20)

    Here the writer is speaking of things that happen and leave no trace behind, the eagle in the sky, a snake over rock, a ship on the high seas and the Almah with her man for if she were a virgin the blood of her first intercourse would be the trace. It is like that of an adultress who does her sin, cleans and pretends nothing happens.

    I guess nearly no one, who reads what you wrote, doubts a long time that you know very well what idiots are doing.

    Congratulations!!!! This is the first I've actualy been challenged in a long time, I'll have to get back with you on that one. I could give you an obvious answer, but that wouldn't satisfy me, and I know it wouldn't satisfy you. I'll get back with you, though.

    The most believable interpretation was that Mary was raped by a Roman soldier. Joseph saved her reputation by marrying her. If the Christians' version was true, she would have named her son Immanuel, not Jesus.

    According to Frank Yerby in Judas, My Brother, adelphos is never used except literally as brother, so Mary did not remain a virgin after the "Immaculate Conception." The Church made up her eternal virginity story because it wanted to reduce sexuality to being a necessary evil. It has a self-interest in inventing things to feel guilty about. This elevation of Mary traces back to the prehistoric religions in which the supreme god was female. Those European aborigines who were overrun by Caucasians around 2,000 BC were weaklings because they were dominated by women.

    Religion belongs in the Conspiracy Theories forum, Philosophy belongs in the Science forum.

    Like him, of the OT, should we drown our kids in the bathtub?

    So calling others ignorant, as you so often do, is a prerequisite to an open mind to God?

    The ruling class wants us to be humble so we won't resent their predatory rule. The only pride they allow is pride in being useful to our self-appointed Masters, who must have been anointed by God because God wouldn't have allowed us to be ruled by any but the best people.
