Congrats on the baby.
God Bless.
Welcome from me too. I was a bit confused by the intro about how you go through your logic, but that is cool.
Another welcome thanks
Must be the baby lolBut seriously, it cant be all that difficult to understand. Its as simple as: I am very determined to understand Roman Catholicism, therefore I am studying its foundational criteria (revelation) in chronological order. This would be because truth is by definition ordered, logical and absolutely consistent with itself (chronological). Truth has the habit of presenting itself in a chronological fashion.
Besides, our church has such an IMMENCE amount of revelation, who on earth would want to read it from two or more different angles? All youll end up doing is confusing yourself and burning the candle at both ends. And I really dont have time for that sort of thing. For me, an almost middle-aged pregnant and hard working mum, it would be better if I just started from the beginning of the race as any other race. The way you read a news paper article or readers digest thats how Im gonna read all Roman Catholic CriteriaA) First the law and the prophets- Old Testament; (B) then the New Testament (C) then our additions to the New Testament; (D) and then the Saints and Fathers, including the writings of our Popes.
Ine of the the big secrets is to use your logic, but let the Holy Ghost guide it and interpret things for you through it.
Sorry if my words were so vague. I never meant to give the impression that understanding of revelation comes through man. We are so savage and mad it would break my heart to hear a message like this being preached. True understanding is a gift from God, a fruit of the Spirit it is something far beyond us. We are burdened to see in part we are burdened with a flawed and sinful being. Understanding is of God. I really cant see it any other way. The heart of man and the heart of this world, they are just too painful and too evil and wicked if I search within I will loose all sanity and probably die. Having converted from a background that exalts the self I see no hope in the self, but only in Christ. It is not I that liveth, but Christ that liveth in me. Therefore I will praise Christ.
Understand also that the church gives us many toos to guide us and to use in our lives. Scripture is just one. You have to logically combine it with the others such as the Traditions of the faith and the liturgy, and the teachings of the church fore-fathers and saints. With these you can have a strong foundation in life.
How could the law of Moses have proceeded out of our Roman Catholic Church, if the law existed before the Church? Sorry, forgive my bluntness, but why would you say that?
When you say combine Im not sure whether you are telling me to force a reality of agreement over the revelation or try and find an agreement. If you were trying to say that we need to assume there is an agreement and live with that reality, I cant live with that. I am a truth seeker, so I test things that call themselves truth. Thats why I study in chronological order.
Zzzz Im getting tired.
I guess we probably at a bit of a conflict on this matter. Never mind that friend. The Lord will bless his beloved:thumb:
Oh yeah, and in the 2007, you have......us at your disposal!
Thanks a millionCould you guys perhaps then refer me to a place where I can later study about Catholicism from the earliest traces of it.... like way way back ... lol
Peace to ya all
