I don't think everyone is called to die for Christ. The overwhelming message of the beatitudes is how to live well. Liberation theology attempts to change biblical truths to fit within the construct of the modern theory of "social injustice." Christ is my hope and salvation not some movement...

Weren't the Jesuits behind Liberation Theology? Are they like a splinter cell now in the RCC?

Hey, modern culture is definitely more about what you imagine to be real vs what simply is. Of course they would rather indulge a delusion than adjust their worldview.

It's really something when you find yourself pining for the classical Liberals who used to annoy you... When did it become OK to only defend the free speech that you agree with? I think it's a really sad side-effect of our low culture.

Thanks for sharing Panzer. Great essay. Violence is our nature and constant companion whether we like it or not. To deny it or try to ignore it is more dangerous than any gun (even one with a 30 round clip) will ever be.

I don't know anyone who thinks there should be more crime or murders. My biggest issue with government "protection" is that I refuse to give up liberty for perceived safety. Not one modern "mass" shooting was ever about gun control. These were criminal acts carried out by sociopaths. If they...

I have always loved O Come, O Come Emmanuel. It is a bit melancholy melodically but it still inspires me with hope. Rejoice! God is with us!

It is true that it was the urging of the Jews that killed Jesus... but he had been shown that before it happened. Had the Jews not called for his blood how could it have been shed for all? The new covenant does not nullify the old one but the terms of salvation are clear; No longer will God...

Wow. Just looked at a right-to-work map. Looks pretty much like the red/blue political maps. Also saw the LOL comment: Oh the irony...

I believe that choice is the way of the Kingdom. I am pro-life because I believe that life is a gift from God. I do not like the thought that many use murder as a form of birth control but I am likewise not the judge. I use the term "murder" in a moral sense not in a legal sense. I think the...

I have to shake my head when I see people in line in front of me at the store using food stamps or WIC to pay for lots of groceries then pull out a wad of cash to cover the cigs and beer. All the time face buried in a smart phone...

God loves a strong marriage but this world surely doesn't. Everything in western culture drives us to sin. It's a struggle brother. Be strong. I have to ask myself this question often: "Who does God want you to be?" Not what to do or not do but who to be. Character isn't just a succession...

I wonder if Obamacare covers grief counseling over Obamacare :confused:

Shouldn't we have been warned about the Entertainment-Media Complex as well as the Military-Industrial Complex? This election year has to be the most openly partisan I've ever witnessed in my life.

The political climate this decade has been marked with both sides being played against the middle. The victims are the lion's share of the citizens and the Constitution itself. I don't believe Romney nor Obama were necessarily competent individuals but "party men." I already know what kind of...

Speaking from a Gulf Coast perspective the only way to "prepare" for a big hurricane is to get out of Dodge. Ike knocked out water for 3 days and power for 12 days. All of the stores were closed for 5 days including gas stations (which were empty anyway) and we were as prepared as we could...

What on earth happened to make people so crazy? I mean my parents had friends of varying degrees of liberalism and conservatism yet they laughed about to together and moved on with life. Why are "progressives" so vindictive?

What about "by any means necessary" don't we understand? These are people of low (or in some cases no) moral character. They will do and/or say literally anything to get their way... so blinded by the desire to "win" that they don't even realize what they are creating in the process.

I feel for you brother. Intrusive thoughts are so distracting and can be upsetting where faith is concerned. What I have to tell myself is that God called me to Him for a purpose. I didn't do anything. I wasn't so "good" that God had no choice but to choose me. I was and continue to be...

"Black Liberation Theology" is actually a specific brand of theology.
