Re: What is the Treasury of Merit?
Hi remade, The following link may be helpful. https://forums.catholic.com/t/treasury-of-merit/126189/2 In it, there is a link directly to the Roman Catholic Catechism where this is explained but the link is outdated. The following is the current link. http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_P4G.HTM P...

Re: Give us this day our daily bread?
Your prayer life sounds about like mine. I talk to God just as I do my wife or close friends. I'm not sure there's anything wrong with that. If God is our 'Abba', I'd expect to be able to talk to him as an obedient child would talk to his earthly father. In relation to your original post, I find com...

Re: Stumbling your brother
Hi TruthFinder. I think Paul's words here imply that the extremes to which we should be willing to go will depend on the extremes to which our weaker siblings in Christ react to us exercising our freedom. If we have regular interactions with a brother or sister where a particular bone of contention ...

Re: Is this where I should post about aliens?
Hi Jon, Thanks for the reply. When I say consciousness is supernatural, I do mean that it has no physical explanation, as of yet at least. I don't believe it ever will, though, because the argument that complexity can give rise to awareness results in a logical contradiction. That is, that fundament...

Re: Is this where I should post about aliens?
Perhaps they do. Perhaps they don't. That's something we can only guess at. I personally can't even say whether other humans have consciousness. All I know for sure is that I have it. All any of us can say is that we have some sort of awareness. For all I know, I could be the only conscious being in...

Re: Is this where I should post about aliens?
:lol: Sure TK. Honestly, it's something we are all "too dumb" to understand. Nobody "understands" it but that's why I think it's so compelling. In fact, for me, this topic is what renewed my faith nearly 10 years ago and continues to do so daily. Here's a quick 12 minute overview by Dr. J.P. Morelan...

Re: The Vision of Peter in Acts 10:9-16
Hi Ian, This is a fair question. The same could be asked of the penalty for breaking the Sabbath. Yet, as I'm sure you are already aware, Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Likewise, Paul points out that laws concerning treatment of animals in the OT were actually inte...

Re: Is this where I should post about aliens?
I do think Christian leaders should begin to discuss this issue so as to prepare folks for the possibility and perhaps probability of alien life being discovered in the near future. Hi TK, I agree with you on this point. Just curious what you think an effective approach along these lines would look...

Re: The "little horn" and "the man of lawlessness"
Hi all, It's been several months since this last post. Based upon Doug's referral above, I've done considerable reading of the research of Adam Maarschalk. He does have some interesting ideas on this topic and makes some good points. I'm still evaluating his work so I can't say I'm completely convin...
