[Merged] Religion topic Bishop Eamon reaffirms Catholic teaching & Cinemas refusing to show ad featu

[Rossfan]

Ye  have to die to be saved

[T Fearon]

Was not a thief who repented on the cross,saved?

[Maguire01]

If you follow the core belief that Jesus is the Saviour and you repent and avoid serious sin,that's all you need.No point in complicating matters.

Hmmm, so we only have to worry about "serious" sin... surely homosexuality is a fairly minor indiscretion then? It's not like theft, murder, assault, infidelity or any number of other sins where someone gets hurt.

Can you prove that?

[T Fearon]

No,as I wasn't there.But as I said faith is not capable of being factually proven

Blind faith is a dangerous weapon don't you think?? In the wrong hands can lead to sinful things

[T Fearon]

My faith is not blind.It is intuitive and based on the quite logical necessity of a greater power that created this world and makes all of nature happen.

Does it not say in the bible somewhere that people should not engage with Tony as he is a looper. Well if it doesn't say that it should. Maybe in the next edition?

[T Fearon]

So why are you doing so?

[muppet]

My faith is not blind.It is intuitive and based on the quite logical necessity of a greater power that created this world and makes all of nature happen.

Why do you jump from that, to cherry-picking bits of a book written by unknown authors thousands of years ago?

[T Fearon]

I don't cherry pick,I follow the message of salvation and example of Jesus.

Wouldn't say its a logical necessity per se, at least if yer talking in terms of how we presently understand the world/universe in the empirical way. Your endanger of retreating to the God of Gaps which would be contrary to faith.

But there is probably as much logic to it than the infinity that is proposed.

[T Fearon]

Science explains how it happened not why.Faith has a mysterious perspective otherwise it would be fact.

[omaghjoe]

Science actually doesn't presently ultimately explain how, of course im not saying that they wont...

But its an irrelevant discussion to faith.

[muppet]

I don't cherry pick,I follow the message of salvation and example of Jesus.

You don't dress like him,
eat like him,
speak like him,
wash like him,
pray like him,
or refer to The Old Testament like him.

Although you do preach like him in fairness.

If you went to a Spurs match you would more resemble a follower than you do Jesus.
