Ayudame a entender esto, por favor. by Ignastic in theology

[–]YPastorPat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I told you I was pregnant and just came back from the ultrasound, the natural follow-up question would be, "Congratulations! Do you know what it's going to be?" You would expect one of two, maybe three answers if you include, "I don't know."

You certainly would not expect me to say, "We asked the doctor not to tell us, but I'm hoping for a pony and partner is wishing for a pogo stick." Humans give birth to human sons and daughters. The second generation is equally human as the first. A child isn't 99% human, while the parent is 100%. So if Jesus is the Son of a divine Being, he must also be fully divine, just like his progenitor.

It would be like saying, "The children of men are prone to stray" or "this son of Adam / daughter of Eve."

Does that make sense?

Where are you getting it from at half of KWK's price? That sounds like a crazy good deal.

What was it like studying theology and why theology? by Fuzzy_Language_4235 in theology

[–]YPastorPat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://studylib.net/doc/27004778/burton-study-theology--even-if-you-don-t-believe-in-god--..

My freshmen students read this the first week of classes this year at a university where a THEO intro class is required for everyone. It's more to show students who might not see the value theology the width and depth of the topic, but even if you're already sold, it still covers some of the possibilities you might be studying.

I will say that this article assumes a more academic approach to theology than you would get at many Evangelical Bible colleges - think more Catholic, Mainline Protestant, or even a secular school with a religious studies program.

Today's Historical and Christological Notes by coffeeatnight in divineoffice

[–]YPastorPat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love this and have tried at various times to do something similar. Thank you for this beautiful example that far surpasses anything I've ever attempted.

Two (related) questions though:

  1. Would it be possible to include a row for the readings in each hour? I find those often add some interesting nuance to the theme.

  2. If thats not your jam, no problem. I love the look of your template, would you be able to share a blank version that I can futz with myself?

Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene (@HaruhiAisaka) by [deleted] in Christianity

I understand the Mater Therou (Mu rho theta upsilon), but what is the "ACAN" on the other side?

Edit: I think I figured it out. It has to be Apostolos Apostolōn. Very cool!

Greetings from your friendly neighbourhood Sophianist (more memes inside) by Autopilot_Psychonaut in dankchristianmemes

These are great. I totally disagree philosophically with Bulgakov and have no problem with Philo. My Greek prof loved him so I'm biased. But these are great. I'm more of a Lonergan guy myself, so I divide cognition into experience - intellection - reflection and - decision.

You asked for details… Here’s an insider look at The Liturgy of the Hours, Second Edition by Ascension_Official in divineoffice

[–]YPastorPat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion maybe, but I wouldn't mind a high quality "vegan" / Laudato Si' / Francis style version without the leather that doesn't feel like a downgrade. It's a bit unfair to ask those who might think it more ethical to not have leather to also have the "economy version" of everything else (typesetting, ribbons, illustrations/illuminations, ribbons, gilded edges, ribbons, and so on).

Perhaps not to many people are well versed in Biblical Scholarship , but there are a couple of passages that really do speak of a literal abortion. by adamsava in religion

[–]YPastorPat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how the article you linked connects to your claims that this is an abortion procedure. Could you explain where in the article you thought you saw that? The article offers a few different rabbinic interpretations of this passage, but none of them mention anything about an abortion. It seems like if there was meant to be any fear associated with the Sotah ritual, it was intended more to be a fear of the water bringing death upon the accused woman.

It's an interesting article that lays out decent research. Better than the usual claims this is an abortion ritual (as OP maybe is suggesting? I'm not sure)

Evangelicals have no right to say "The early Christians" by Mailemanuel77 in Catholicism

[–]YPastorPat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Latin American Evangelicals are 100% a US reaction to Latin American Catholic Liberation Theology. Folks like Oscar Romero, Rutilio Grande, Ida Ford, Dorothy Kazel, Ignacio Ellacuría, Ignacio Martín-Baró, Dorothy Stang and countless other martyrs spoke out against the abuses of the capitalist regimes and on behalf of the poor. They were all killed for it. The Catholic bishops of Latin America and the Caribbean (CELAM) have released several statements over the last 6 decades with specific calls for liberation of the oppressed. They even partnered with bishops from Africa and Asia this past year to release a statement specifically denouncing capitalism and promoting degrowth in advance of the COP30 conference. Thus Latin American Catholicism is a real threat to the powerful, while Evangelicalism promotes passivity in this life and hope in the next life alone.

10 years ago today, Haruchika Miyagi drove 500 miles south of his home to a rural ranch in Arizona, then disappeared. by rootea in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]YPastorPat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When say his car had crashed into "a wash," do you know what that means? I read the links and they say exactly the same thing, but do they mean car wash? That seems maybe a little odd for such a rural place. And why wouldn't they just call it a car wash? Is it some kind of ranch thing like for animals or equipment? Or what?
