    The Lord's prayer - how Catholics see it.

    Try as I might Xeno to find fault in your comments above (normally your postings are replete with errors, over-simplifications, straw-men, steel-men, and general heresy that has me reaching for my kindling) - this time I am in complete agreement. I would note that the order of the...

    What a haul!

    Nice… you basically bought a small Blockbusters :) I still buy disks for anything that I like, which is now maybe just a few movies per year given the… ahem… quality forced agenda of entertainment lately. If you have the disk, it’s immune to editing, censorship and memory-holing by...

    Hungry, Poor, and Disabled Canadians Now Seeking Assisted Suicide

    Now come on Wolseley, you've gone too far this time. That would leave us with no politicians at all here in Canada! I can only imagine the misery and suffering that would ensue:

    If someone wrote the Shackleton Expedition as fiction it would be rightly condemned for being unbelievable.

    What's the calibre of your canon?

    Much of your thoughtful post here boils down, I believe, to denominational dynamics. If a splinter cell of believers in my church want to break away and form their own variation of Christianity that drops Romans and replaces it with "Barney's See and Say Adventure" (don't knock it, it's a...

    What's the calibre of your canon?

    My understanding is that Lutherans include the apocrypha but do not consider them final authority. In Luther’a apparent words, “Apocrypha, that are books which are not considered equal to the Holy Scriptures, but are useful and good to read.” I’m with Luther here! So, as a ritual coming from...

    Is Batman an example of Calvinist and/or Methodist worldview?

    In John Calvin’s dystopian short story “L'homme chauve-souris de Genève, cité du péché” (1562), everyone is a minion of Joker, Batman’s the righteousness of God out to punish all, and only through an act of his mercy does he forgive some. Only Batman sees the whole picture of what a restored...

    What's the calibre of your canon?

    My question to you Xeno would be whether you believe any of the deut. books contain any key doctrine that isn’t in the 66? i.e. not just historically interesting, nor a reiteration of elsewhere stated doctrine. I recently read 1+2 Maccabees as part of a reading plan and, while fascinating...

    Shackleton's Boat Journey by Frank Worsley

    Great recommendation! In our modern age where mis-pronouning someone is enough to have them collapse on the fainting couch the story of these men and their unwillingness to quit gets my vote for the most heroic, beyond-belief amazing accomplishment. Astounding.

    LAST CALL: online Bible reading group for 2023

    The entire Bible, in slightly modified order to blend some of the NT book in earlier so we don’t just get to the NT in October. e.g. we’re doing John starting about mid-Jan, once we’re done Genesis.
