@Arthur Brain this is to you, I don't think you answered: what say you? They're our friends, right? Israel? Some bad people are trying to hurt our friends, and so we help out our friends, right? Anyone can answer, not just Arthur.

Why is that good? A communist will never say we are all made in the image of Almighty God, President Trump's right, because communists are atheists, and if they do believe in a god, it's not the Christian God Almighty Father, it's some man-made pagan idol, and they do not believe in equality...

Maybe angels bridge the gap. It doesn't make any sense that God can have intimate knowledge at all times of 50 billion swallows, but not know what's going on with Adam and Eve, Abraham, and Sodom. Or why His vineyard's growing wild grapes. It doesn't make any sense. So if instead, there are...

This is the hardest part to swallow prima facie, that God doesn't even know necessarily what's going on rn. Seems beyond the pale and a bridge too far.

The Church doesn't forbid marriage for anybody under any circumstance or situation,¹ except if you are civilly divorced and the presumed valid previous marriage hasn't been annulled, or your previous spouse hasn't passed away in the meantime. Under that circumstance only, does the Church forbid...

Gay.

The irony. Projection.

There is. And it's in Enyart's proposal—though implicitly (according to my understanding of JR's description). It's that, all that rogue king's subjects disobey and otherwise ignore him, when he orders them to sin/commit a crime. That's it. No civil war needed. Just patience. He's got to die...

The man mansplains what the woman meant but bungled.
