What you stated was

if we have true faith (P), then our works will reflect that (Q).

If P is true then Q is also true

is equivalent to saying

if Q is false, it means P is also false

That is modus tollens

Each year on November 21, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary — an ancient feast with a unique and sometimes uncertain history.

According to tradition, Mary’s parents brought her to the Temple to consecrate her to God. The feast honors the devotion of Mary’s parents, Joachim and Anne, and also honors Mary’s purity. The Church also sets aside a specific feast honoring Joachim and Anne on July 26 every year.

The Church’s historical knowledge of the feast dates back to the apocryphal gospels, which the Church does not consider to be part of the canon of scripture. A legend in the Protoevangelium of James (from the 2nd century) tells the story of a 3-year-old Mary visiting the temple in Jerusalem, where her parents dedicated her to the service of God and to consecrated virginity. Joachim and Anne consecrated her in fulfillment of a promise they made to God following their long struggle with childlessness.

Ok cool, I though so too.

Ok thats interesting. See this is where I find it strange and almost a conspiracy to say nothing is going on. Because there is too much of something strange going on lol.

Its actually a good parallel. We have actual data of images and video before our eyes. We have testimony from average Joe Blows up to Pentagon level under congressional hearings.

How do you know this is all fake and imagination. Where is the evidence showing this is just imagination or some other phenomena.

Are you? You seem to almost grasp that you are being fed "ancient aliens" level stuff (and the kissing cousin of it) but run away screaming when it is mentioned.

stevevw said:

How do you think say a scientist can also be a Christian or believe in some transcedent reality. Cannot they reconcile them both.

Click to expand...

Not relevant. No one made these claims.

stevevw said:

This seems to be the assumption that because people believe or are open to alternative ideas or realities that they must be somehow deluded in some way. Not quite understanding reality or where its at.

But the ironic thing I think is that now even science is opening up to the idea of alternative ways of being aware. So what is being 'self aware;. Is it just withing the temporal world or does it expand beyond. Is the temporal worldview the surface and what is beyond is the fundemental which is beyond the objective reality we navigate through.

stevevw said:

Lol, its not a dodge. I have already acknowledged the material scientific or naturalistic knowledge of the world and reality. I am just saying that there are alternative ways of knowing the world, nature and reality.

Click to expand...

Then post them in the "alternative reality" section of CF. This section is for science and science is *definitionally* naturalistic.

stevevw said:

That its more than the gradualistic and reductionist worldview. Everything has to fall within methological naturalism and anything outside is not true knowledge. This is not science but epistemics and metaphysics. Its not a dodge to keep pointing this out.

Click to expand...

No, then it is not science and it is off topic for this thread.

stevevw said:

Actually no they don't. This is the whole point. You are accusing them of being a certain way. When I have actually heard or read out of the mouths of the people themselves clearly stating that (it was not about aliens or Atlantis) or stuff like that.

Now you may find from links on some sites to such ideas. But the actual people I am linking have clearly stated the exact opposite.

Click to expand...

Oh, come on. Your very first post links a video by "Michael Button" who also has a video on his channel that is an *interview* on Hancock's channel. Should we talk about more of them or will you dismiss those as well?

Button is a "featured speaker" at an upcoming nut-job conference where one of the other speakers is Billy Carson.

stevevw said:

If any idea like the precision vases or pyramids generating energy or other effects, or ancients or indigenous peoples pocessing alternative knowledge about nature ect. This is not alients or Atlantis and I have tried to link evidence for such.

When they lift the vagueness of their claims, it is absolutely the fantasy "alt reality" stuff.

stevevw said:

So please stop assuming and trying your level best to strawman what I am saying with some stereotypical assumption about anyone who suggest or is open to alternative ways of knowing as far as epistemics and metaphysics go. This is an aspect of human reality I know well.

I am assuming nothing. All it takes is a brief look "under the covers" at who these people are to see. That you resist is telling.

Lord have mercy.

During their conversation, exorcist Father Dan Reehil gives what the show believes is the scariest explanation of Hell you may ever hear.

In a clip shared by The Shawn Ryan Show, Ryan asks, “Is Hell an actual place or is Hell a realm that surrounds us?”​

For clarification, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 1035, says this about Hell:

“The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death, the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, ‘eternal fire.’ The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs.”

Click to expand...

In the viral clip, Father Reehil begins, “Well, the world is looking more like Hell. But I think Hell is a place.”​

He elaborates by explaining that currently, souls are in Hell. Not physical bodies.

• Tartarus is a specific reference to the pagan concept of the 'lowest level of hades'; The word “Tartarus” is arguably the closest word used to this concept of eternal torment but this word is only used in one specific verse: 2 Peter 2:4 which is talking about a place where "fallen angels" are sent and is never mentioned as a destination for humans. - Also note that this same verse clearly limits the time spent in that place to "until judgment".
• Gehenna is an actual physical place in Jerusalem, it was (in the first century CE) possibly a trash dump, garbage we know dead bodies were taken there and burned in a 'eternal fire' (a constantly burning fire that was always burning garbage). it was considered a "cursed place" due to legends about people sacrificing children there. It was mentioned in a lot of parables; often 'jesus' talking about wealthy people ending up in Gehenna (just like all the poor people). essentially saying that all their wealth doesn't save them from eventually dying and being thrown into the trash heap. - The parables did seem to imply that “Gehenna” was some undesirable place but it’s very dishonest to claim that the word literally translates to the common concept called “Hell”.

OK, I was speeding and the Highway Patrol stopped me and gave me a warning and that messed me up for a few hours.

Point is we were a nation of laws and not following those laws might just have been inconvenienced, arrested even, convicted even, and maybe even incarcerated. But that is increasingly inappropriate for some reason.

It is plain, what is the issue with this verse? What does it mean to become a new creation in Christ? Would one be clinging to their old life of sin and worshipping others gods, or stealing from their neighbor, or would one die of self and be baptized with Christ turning a new path keeping God's commandments through love and faith.

Brothers and sisters, after staff huddle, this thread will remain closed. It invites others to state or imply that members who profess to be Christians are not, and that is against CF rules. While it is certainly OK to believe that any certain action is in conflict with the teachings of Christ, on CF we don't tell professing Christians, either directly or indirectly, that they are not Christians.

Thank you for understanding.
