If it had never been given then I could understand that view of authority. Otherwise the alternatives are that it was supposed to be temporary or, Christ gave it and took it back for our deplorable witness or, those He gave it to are still around just unrecognized. None of that makes sense. A...

Ferris, that's a good tradition. I love doin that very same thing. I know though, without the cold dead rituals you dislike so much, it's doubtful that you would have ever heard of Jesus. The liturgy is the innerrant Word of God expressed ritually. They convey the truth and the experience of...

What happened that Pope Benedict is a valid pontificate but not Pope Francis's.

JohnPaul, there's hope for us after all.:)

None of that has any bearing on the meaning of earthly bonds. To me that's a bias caused by 'either-or' kind of thinking. It's not an either or thing. Jesus didn't come to abolish but to complete and lift up human life in all it's dimensions. You're right that spiritual bonds take precedence...

Jesus didn't require a sinless mother to be born sinless. That He taught perfect human love, it is fitting He experienced perfect human love.

The son many claim exists but obviously doesn't. Jesus said to John " behold your mother". To His mother " behold your son." I don't believe Jesus meant she was John's natural birth mother. What kind of motherhood did Jesus mean?

I know this may seem controversial but Adam was understood to be the most like God among humans. That's the reason there is no man greater 'born of woman' than John the Baptist. Adam was not born of woman. Sons of God as it pertains to the events in Genesis, are sons of the one person who...

Giants were about physical dominance. If some have many, many have none. Physical status was a great asset in a polygamous culture. Satan and a third of the angels no longer have a place in heaven.

Angel is an office not the name of a being. The angelic office delivers God's message to those God chooses to know it. Usually fulfilled by the spiritual beings we call angels.

The seduction of the chosen men by the fertility cults that surround them is a common thread underlying salvation history. They echo the evil attempt to destroy the human family in Gen 6.

Satan is bound and subject to Christ. That means Christian's have authority over Satan. Or not, if they shouldn't be trying to make that felt.

Size was bred into men for physical dominance like it is done for many animals for that and other various reasons.

Only humans are made to be concerned about truth, justice, and the afterlife. The other animals are different in that the movements of their bodies that are serving the law of survival is natural behavior. Those movements are not natural for humans. They cause our flesh to rebel against the...

Polygamy creates a culture of competition among men and women. Fiercely violent are men when status is based on the number of women taken in marriage. Fiercely alluring are women competing for the most powerful man. This man is the first to become legendary. Gen.4 23 And Lamech said unto his...

Interesting. What happened?

Just wondering why you believe she is evil.

Not everyone is trapped in the loop of repeated history. Heirarchal status causes a bias that most are unconscious of. Hierarchical status causes blindness Jesus addressed it here. Mathew 20 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one...

Made perfect sense. Apparently the concepts are beyond your senses. For those that have ears to hear.;)

I agree. Flawed. The source of knowledge of the soul presented is behind the curve.
