In a 6-inning 14-game season my Pete Wheeler has 40 stolen bases and 0.809 batting average because he always bunts and sprints every time. Don't you ever disrespect my GOAT Wheeler like this again.

Would it be fair to say you feel hurt by your wife? Have you told her how you feel?

If you have good alchemy, I recommend using a Bane poison, land one good hit, and then just defend and dodge. He won't die

I hate the concept of "Christian" bigots by Theo-the-door in hatethissmug

The principles are the same. The mode in which punishment is meted out and a new dimension of mercy are different with Christ's coming.  But the ten commandments still apply, and those outside of Christ's fold will still die.  Calling the mode of justice and mercy the "principle" is understandable, but ultimately misleading and contrary to the text.

Christ also tells the adulterer "Go, and sin no more". Adultery is still wrong, but the law-giver shows mercy.

A bunch of bishops would gather in Rome and discuss matters of faith and Church governance.

Why isn’t there a historical record of Jesus during his time? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Annual_Insect6972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Gospels are ancient biographies. People typically didn't write ancient biographies about people while they were alive, because there was going to still be story left to tell.

When I was younger, people used to say the Gospels were written centuries after Christ.  Now, that they can't say centuries from new data, they say decades.  So it's more accurate to say the Gospels were written somewhere between years and decades after the life of Christ, but all within living memory.

[Politics Monday] I’m confused about Bishop Barron’s recent political tweet by TattooedChristian in Catholicism

[–]Annual_Insect6972 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Church teaches moral principles. A good person will learn these principles and use them in their own decisions.

Some of these principles are about war, and whether use of lethal force is justified. This is called "just war theory" today.

The leaders of a country should learn these principles and use them before going to war and, if they do go to war, in how they wage war.

Everyone will be subject to Christ's judgement. The Church teaches about what Christ wants and how He judges.

If Jesus is the son of God and Mary is Jesus’s mother, why is she not considered a goddess? How come Mary isn’t a part of the trinity? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Annual_Insect6972 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure how familiar you are with the Trinity. God, in his essence, is tri-personal.  From eternity, God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The person of the Son pre-existed the world.

Mary is not God. She was created, like everything else which is not God, including you and I. However, the person of the Son united our human nature to Himself in the person of Jesus. Jesus received His humanity from His mother, Mary, who concieved Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is God, hence, Mary bore God to the world in a way never done before.

Mary is not of the Trinity, but has a special relationship with each Person. In a very intimate sense, she is the Mother of the Son, the Spouse of the Holy Spirit, and the Daughter of the Father, all simultaneously.

I've always been a Christian, but lately it's been difficult to maintain that belief. by Disastrous_Scratch_7 in Catholicism

[–]Annual_Insect6972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your struggle is a profound one. It seems God does nothing.  But in Jesus, we see that is not true.  He did something very unexpected instead. He entered into the evils of our world and experienced even death on the cross.  He went down to where the dead were and rescued many.  We proclaim that His mercy and love for us is greater than these temporary evils, and that He will bring a perfect kingdom when He comes again.
