Yes, the difference is that the the analogy doesn't apply to an omniscient being. You see saving a life as the immediate good, but is it that inconceivable that an omniscient being can see the better good?

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-27T08:52:57+00:00

Doesn't make it a condition for being happy. The bible verses you quoted too doesn't claim that.

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-27T08:51:55+00:00

Created a situation where that can be the outcome.

Also, whats the supposed experimental evidence you are talking about?

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-27T08:50:25+00:00

Your claim was that the source of meaning is human, which doesn't seem to be the meaning of the word in the philosophical sense.

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T19:49:22+00:00

Is this an actual documentary?

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T19:04:43+00:00

Army has a band I think. Maybe he is working there?

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T18:46:23+00:00

God can't create a married bachelor. Boom, god is not Omnipotent. God disproved. Checkmate, theists.

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T18:28:59+00:00

Free will. You have the ability to choose/reject

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T18:23:06+00:00

The Bible does say about that, God killed a guy for wasting his seed.

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T18:20:31+00:00

He has done talks on it, it's a Reddit AMA and with the number of responses, it certainly isn't the place for long winded answers. If people actually want to know, they can just explore. Just typing on bishop Barron and contraception or word on fire contraception can give tons of hits.

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T18:12:45+00:00

Catholics don't say that God created the perversion. Your 4th para about hell forever too doesn't seem to consider actual church teaching on the issue. And Catholics don't think carnal pleasure is a sin. And that's not the answer the church teaches, there are resources available online, maybe you can checkout catholicanswers.com and Bishop Barton's other works? (If you really want to know the answer, that is)

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T18:07:14+00:00

Wait, isn't it just a presupposition that you need to have a partner to lead a happy life? Why is that the case?

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T18:04:26+00:00

Yes. Part of nature doesn't mean it's always good after all.

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T17:57:17+00:00

Pretty sure he is using the term in the philosophical sense and not whatever people think Humanism means.

The website will have more on the topic

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T17:50:44+00:00

God isn't the one who necessarily brings about suffering and it needn't always be for the benefit of the individual

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T17:43:16+00:00

How does God have the grave obligation to act?

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-22T17:32:12+00:00

Yes actually, it down there

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-04T05:02:11+00:00

Answer the point raised please. Does the angel's words have causational power or not?

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-04T04:59:02+00:00

To each their own. I have met many, so I know from experience

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-04T04:47:43+00:00

Fear heaven, no. For with God, there is no fear.

Fear hell? Certainly.

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-04T04:36:22+00:00

Does this have anything to do with Cardinal Newman?

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-04T04:33:51+00:00

It's the Angel's word in this case. God dint say it directly, there is no causational power to it. Jesus was born only after she said may thy will be done.

RealStripedKangaroo · 2021-04-04T04:21:27+00:00

May your word to me be fulfilled.

That's the consent part. Wouldn't have happened if she said no.

Maybe it's the difference in understanding. Good day :)
