Obviously thinking isn't your strong suit
Zone1 why do some Protestants think that only they are Christians and the Catholics are not?

I certainly can't prove Jesus performed no miracles any more than you can prove he did. Curious that his not all his followers considered him to be God even after seeing him perform miracles. That, as I recall, was the essence of Mark, Jesus kept asking his closest followers who they thought he was.
And God forbade homosexual sex, along with adultery and fornication. You aren't dealing with that, except to try and explain it away.
Jesus was very clear about this. There was nothing ambiguous about it. You aren’t the first person to be shocked by his command.
If you have enough faith he will place his Real Presence in the Eucharist. It’s how we share in his sacrifice. It’s very powerful but only if you have faith and are receptive to accepting accountability for your actions.
If you saw a teacher opening the eyes of the blind, blind to figurative language, would you think they were God?
I disagree. I got paid a lot of money for my thinking. Besides, I wasn’t wrong when I said he was referring to your mental gymnastics in interpreting Leviticus 18:22.
No. If that were the case you’d see me as God.
I have evidence that he did. You have no evidence that he didn’t. Your argument that unless everyone believed it then it didn’t happen isn’t evidence or even supported by evidence.
But yes, as near as I can tell the miracles by themselves were not enough to sway them. It wasn’t until his resurrection that they truly believed. Prior to that there was confusion over who he was.
lol...Funny how your tongue always betrays the secrets of your soul, what you care most about but try to hide.
Actually the topic was about Protestants not believing Catholics are Christians. But yes, it has gone off of those rails.
Feel free to report it and have the mods close the thread. You have free will.
Nope. Just stating a fact. Engineers are well paid for their thinking.
Says the guy who re-writes commands because they offend his sensibilities.
You really should end your charade. You don’t believe God has commanded anything.
That’s because you don’t understand Mark was intentionally written to explore who Jesus is. Maybe try google to learn more.
No, my criteria would be physical not spiritual.
We will have to agree to disagree on the value of each others evidence.
Yes, we will. But that’s usually how evidence works.
So you consider Mark to be allegory but accept the resurrection and miracles to be historically accurate?
No. I didn’t say that. I said it was intentionally written to explore who Jesus is. It had nothing to do with the miracles performed. It had to do with how the apostles perceived Jesus. Prior to the resurrection they were uncertain. As in who is this guy that is able to do the things he is doing.
Mark more than the other three gospels spotlights the uncertainty of the apostles concerning who Jesus is prior to the resurrection. In fact, even after the resurrection Thomas had his doubts, but Jesus put those to rest.

Thanks for tying to tell me what I believe, but you are wrong. Not only do I believe that God gave commandments I also see clearly the mercy and wisdom of God for doing so for such pitiful creatures lost in abject confusion.
And thanks to you, sweet cheeks, many will see the wisdom of God in giving the law that prohibits eating the flesh of unclean creatures that DO NOT RUMINATE by demonstrating the terrifying and deeply disturbing consequences, the death, a curse, for setting that clear, simple, and easy to comply with instruction aside.
