.......He writes further that divine grace strengthens people to walk the road to theosis, and that this grace is transmitted and actualised in the sacraments, especially baptism, penance, and the Eucharist.
Baptism is the means by which God begins the process of deification in a believer, since it brings him or her into the life of Christ, the life which the church possesses.

There are our "allies" who are upset that Trump is not supporting them economically and militarily.
The world wants the U.S. to protect, feed and cloth them while what wealth they had has been spent on some socialist ideal that history has shown to fail time and again. What they want is support for their nonsense since those that were productive in their given countries have been bled dry. As Regan said: The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other peoples money.

The Donald won't get the US out of debt. He's an economic illiterate and he doesn't listen to anyone who actually knows what they're talking about. All anyone has to do is look at his track record of business failures to understand this.
Did I miss it? Have you posted your resume of business success yet? Right, you are saying that before we listen to anyone we need to see their track record of success, right?

Is this how you have a dialogue in real life too?
Instead of talking to the person in front of you, you talk about another person who said something instead of talking to the person in front of you? :giggle:
You got a question? Ask!
That's called dialogue.
If i have a question, i ask too. That's how dialogue works.

Like the movie, The Truman Show. :D
That movie is quite revealing about the state of modern society.
Lol. Like the Truman Show, but with worse script writers. Or, perhaps, with good script writers who are aiming for comedy moreso than reality?

I had hopes, but he war rhetoric is very concerning, so really maybe some changes domestically but with regards to foreign policy it is one big blob.
Yes. No one is ever sure who's side he is on. Is he pushing war in order to turn the tables and stop it? Or is that a vain hope, and the reversal never comes before it's too late?

I should never have mentioned that! :p
There is only one Gospel, one plan of salvation and it is laid out in scripture and no it was not devised by the "west" so someone who does not have that right is in no position to hurl accusations about "conspiracy theories" towards anyone else, since they themselves have succumbed to the most egregious conspiracy of all time.

I can say that because I lived it, it is painful unless you think you are all that, so not sorry, refuse to compromise the truth.

There is a clip of him on a podcast, where he complained about Biden bombing Yemen, saying it could have been handled by a phone call.
Sorry not buying it, I looked into his first term and his drone strikes exceeded those of Obama.
Follow the money, find out who is his top donor, it will tell all you need to know.

But I do need to watch that movie again. ;)

More and more, I get the feeling that events are not fulfilling prophecy, but they are supposed to look as if they are fulfilling prophecy. For those not paying close enough attention.

How about some examples.
The formation of the state of Israel in 1948 is a glaring one. And then an upcoming war involving the same. And a hero figure who can get the state out of the mess it's own leadership put it in.

I don't know - I hope Trump is truly America first. But with the anti-free speech laws he's pushing, it might be too late to admit one is wrong by the time war becomes inevitable. There's a game being played, I'm just not sure which side Trump is on - the side playing out false prophecy, or the side exposing it.

The red x-es are another hilarious topic onto itself here. As long as i've been on this site, people have been complaining about them and i find that hilarious.
There are sites that don't allow for that red X option. Because of the abuses abuser personalities exploit.

It's a red button with a red X. Just like the smileys, etc... But when it is thought to instantly discredit a person's thoughts,the abuser personalities on a forum will exploit it.

It isn't really all that funny that abusive people think that's a method to exploit because their primary motive,as they see it,is to hurt people's feelings.
Those are people who are abusive by nature. On-line just lets them be that anonymously.

Sure,we can disagree. I've applied the X I think but once here. Then when I saw how the lowest common denominator personality unable to discuss the Bible with respect was tacking those onto posts with valid Scripture, I applied the image blocker on my Ad Block.

Let's have another crusade fellow Christian based on your "superiority". lol
Don't worry despite all your childish outbursts i have seen and heard it all so you are forgiven.

By the way @CommodoreTeach is a Flat Earther. :giggle:
I'm just curious as to why this is often brought up? Whether that be concerning CommodoreTeach himself, or someone who agrees with him. I just curious as to how the shape of the earth makes a difference as to what is going on in the world that is pertinent to our lives.

Mind you, I'm not a so called "Flat Earther", however that has no bearing whatsoever on how I see posts made by CommodoreTeach and the knowledge I take from his posts. If I don't agree with something that was said, I don't point out that the "Flat Earther" thing.
Whether the Earth is flat, round, or whatever, the powers-that-be are pulling the strings.

This has to do with quite a lot actually.
Because it shows how rational people are. There are also unknown layers to this, which are difficult to understand in text.
But the prominent person who was a flat earther ( can't remember his name now but i can find him if i search hard enough) wanted to prove that the earth was flat and died in some freak accident while trying to prove that.
He was wrong of course, but the interesting part comes after his death when his public relations person said that he was basically "trolling" or "joking" about the whole flat earth thing and did it as a way to attract advertisers and to fuel his addictions which were extreme sports.
He was one of those daredevil RedBull guys who did these crazy stunts.

So, if we assume that one is joking about this then we are okay because we know it's a lighthearted discussion and maybe an ice breaker as i mentioned to him. Like, you'd be a lot of fun at parties basically when you start with the flat earth topic.
But then the question becomes: how far do you want to push the joke? Do you even want to admit that you're joking or you wanna be like Andy Kaufman til the end?

Then the other part which is worse is that there are people who are not or may not be joking about the whole flat earth thing.
That's even worse!

That's why it has to do with rationality and credibility.
