I just started The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco finally. I've had it on myself for over a year and am now finally reading it. Recently finished...
Yeah I was very similar in talking to quite a few people about it in school and after. The idea that one "knows" their "anointed" is just so...
I was raised a JW, and was a devout Witness until my conversion to Christianity many years ago, and that is not exactly what they believe. They...
No, we are soul/body composites. This is what it means to be fully human. Read Genesis 1-2. This is against orthodoxy, the historic teaching of...
But your point was that Christ is a spirit now and you used this verse to try and prove that. But right before it says we are not to consider...
No, your interpretation is wrong. So you don't regard me according to the flesh anymore? Am I spirit now? Our Lord is still Jesus of Nazareth....
I disagree wholeheartedly. I would say EL Mascall is far more faithful to the Church Fathers, Scripture, and the Tradition of the Church than most...
That is heresy. Jesus is a man still. He has a body, a glorified body. In the passage you quoted, St. Paul is not saying that Jesus doesn't have a...
Exactly! So He wasn't a spirit, but a Man. He is the last Adam, the heavenly Man. He has a glorified body and one day we will have a glorified...
St. Paul isn't saying that we will be spirits, but that our body will no longer be only natural but glorified, spiritual i.e. filled with the...
Ah but He is still divine, therefore, having the capability to be at more than one place at one time. He can, and I believe, as Scripture says,...
The english dictionary agrees with me. Again, if we can't come up with agreements on definitions, we can't get anywhere. Give me your definition...
No I never said that. All I was saying was that the word body means something material. A spirit doesn't have a body and scripturally you can't...
I think Anglo-Catholics would describe it, not as physically, but substantially, corporeally. We don't say that the breads accidents become the...
Absolutely not. My question was what was a spiritual body? Not what is spiritual substance. Not correct. A body by definition is material. St....
I never said it shouldn't be, just that I haven't read anywhere in the Early Church Fathers of them recommending adoring it. If they did or did...
So, I would agree that not one Father, as far as I know, recommended lifting the host up and adoring it. But I was answering to the portion about...
I guess Eucharistic miracles don't count?... This doesn't really support you. First, you disregarded and didn't attempt to engage the passages I...
This is patently false. Any anglo-catholic, roman Catholic, or Orthodox Christian who knows anything about their theology could easily challenge...
Hallelujah He is complex! Praise God for His unlimited depths and riches! One book I recommend on the Trinity as well is The Forgotten Trinity...
