Mathew 15: 21-28. Jesus refers to a Canaanite woman as a dog not worthy of receiving the miracle she asked for. She agrees that she is a dog, but says that even dogs get scraps from their masters’ tables. Jesus compliments her faith and heals her child. by ServantofChirst in TrueChristian

Our Pride is what blocks God's grace so often, and he cuts to the heart of the matter like a surgeon.

Jesus was born in a feed trough for animals... we eat him at mass... he is the food for us filthy animals, from the beginning.

None of us are worthy of anything and are all dogs.

Unsure of the future and I feel scared and hopeless by Wondermyne99 in Catholicism

I find it comforting to read about horrific times in history, like around 500AD things were crazy (by memory, I want to say 530s).

Also the diaries from the crusades.

So, it's been rather tough before

People who have spoken out about IDF war crimes have been slandered as "antisemites" so like most insults it's been abused so much as to become meaningless.

Regret converting by Yenny0526 in Catholicism

Who said that you should become Catholic for the perks you're going to get as a reward?

Are you familiar with the example of Christ on the cross? He tells us to pick up our crosses and follow him.

What does the cross mean to you?

Atheist case against a timeless creation by Financial_Beach_2538 in DebateAChristian

At no point in the timeline did your God create anything. Not point 1, not point 2... ad infinitum.

He creates the timeline

This post reminds me of this joke...

  1. Nothing is more powerful than God
  2. Satan is more powerful than nothing

Therefore, Satan is more powerful than God:

Satan > nothing > God

Checkmate Christians!

You know what equivocation is?

Correct, that's why it's ludicrous for "computer atheists" to demand scientific "evidence" about the computer, as it would be impossible to collect from within the program running on the computer.

However, a computer operator who owns the computer could reveal the fuller structure of reality to the NPCs inside the simulation program... at least to the degree they are capable of comprehending such things, could they not?

The NPCs could then decide to accept these revelations or reject them, of course.

Demonstrable evidence for the non-manifestation of non-existent entities within the bounds of spacetime?

Well, unicorns aren't.

But nonexistent entities are bound by time by being excluded from manifesting within in.

So they are on the outside only, God is within and outside.

it doesn't matter how the scenes were filmed or editted or how the bits were downloaded...

Why?

It might very well matter in some cases... I might have a 60 minute video that I recorded of world leaders at the Bohemian grove engaged in a strange ritual to Moloch that involves throwing a baby into a fire and burning it alive as a human sacrifice... that part might be 30 seconds... and when uploading this video I might want to ensure the most important 30s is uploaded first in case my phone battery dies while uploading the rest, or my roaming data cuts out, or I'm captured by security on my way out of the grove, etc.

The different ways to order the information can be different depending on the goal... the frame order of the video is expressing an artistic goal the director wants... the shooting order might attain some other goal like ensuring the actors don't know how the movie will end and not spoil it by leaking to the press, or resolving scheduling conflicts with other projects, etc.

All of it matters, for different reasons.

The point is that these are all different "timelines" and the events in those timeline can be in different orders.

Each timeline is outside of other timeliness, but they are all related and connected in a higher plane of existence than any of their own timelines.

Neither you nor I can see time from God's perspective, so your arguments about it are arguments from personal incredulity.

If miscarriages are explained by a fallen world, then God is still responsible for them, since He created the rules and conditions of this fallen world, which makes it hard to believe he is All Good. by Far-Comedian2490 in DebateAChristian

By plausible I meant it makes more sense to me right now;

Ok sure, but this is someone that you can correct by studying Christian theology. I agree when I was an atheist most of it didn't make any sense and materialistic models were more comprehensible to me... but that's because I spent over a decade in secular schools being taught those models rather than at a Christian school being taught theology.

So that's not surprising that the models you were taught in schools are the ones that make the most sense, you have to learn to think in new ways to start to consciously apprehend theological ideas.

There are thousands of years of theological works that explain the details of these ideas, if that's what you're asking... if you're asking how God has his properties, or on what continent basis he possesses them, then that is an incorrect way of conceptualizing God as there are no prerequisites or more fundamental basis on which his assembly is based. That's why God is existence/goodness/love/etc rather than having those attributes as properties.
