Agreed. But which teachings of his are major and minor? Is there a table of contents in the Bible to let us know? Do we sift through the pages looking for what suits our world view best and deem that a major? Is it only the letters in red?

Who determines what is considered major and minor?

Who's words, ultimately, are those seen in the letter written by James that I quoted for you? Which "actual teachings" are you referring to? Also, just for clarification, your definition of "works" is likely not that of which the Catholic Church teaches. If you think the CC's teaching on...

Is God unable to save anyone he wants despite what may be written throughout the Bible? Do you believe the entirety of the Bible is the written word of God? Or just the parts that suit your interpretation of what is ultimately the important stuff?

This sounds like merely intellectual assent or "Mere Christianity" to me. Link: Is There a "Mere Christianity"? Also, from the letter of James:

Where did the Bible come from? How were the books chosen? How do you know you are interpreting said Bible properly? All of those different interpretations are what causes so many new "Church buildings." They can't all be objectively true if they're teaching different things.

Should turn this thread into: "Popular Misconceptions About Catholicism, Debunked"

If you play often, get fitted. If you just go out a couple times per year for fun with the boys, get a used set on FB marketplace. Google "Best high-handicap irons" before narrowing it down. Don't waste the money on a brand new set, unless you plan on using them a lot.

I would've preferred UM vs Zona in the championship. I feel like they're the top 2. But... This. The Final Four this year is legit. I wouldn't bet on IL but they're aren't exactly a bottom feeder Cinderella team either. I wish I was going to be around this weekend to head downtown. Indy...

Unfortunately, I'm very aware. Grew up in a grass roots non-denom family (not the mega church types). Extended family are blended variations of "low-Church" Prots. My wife and her entire family are Catholic. I've been attending mass off an on for 15+ years, now. Confirmed Catholic last...

Catholics are Christian.

What's the TLDR on his 75-min video that is causing concern specifically for mental health issues? I don't have time to watch that. IG needs a 2.0x speed.

Looking at the last 20+ years, it’s hard not to notice the pattern, as you've listed. Interventions in these places keep ending with fractured or unstable states. Whatever the intentions were, that seems to be the consistent outcome. However, regional fragmentation isn’t exactly a new concept...

I haven't seen those, but that's interesting. The local card shop here will do a pre-grade for $3 per card. I probably should've gone that route and may end up doing that next time. I have about ten Iverson rookies (base and inserts) that I'd like to slab. But anything less than an 8 and...

Ugh! yeah, I'm done with this hobby.

I actually didn't know this. My local card shop recommended SGC when I was in to pick up my PSA order.

Ugh. Yeah, if it wasn't for the fact that PSA still holds the primary spot in the grading industry for resale, I would've switched to BGS or something else a long time ago. However, I'm also that weird OCD person who doesn't want a bunch of variants in my slabs. My slab case is entirely PSA...

Didn't learn my lesson from my last PSA entry. Sent a bunch of my Jordans and a couple Kobe rookies for grading. Most came back in the 6 or 7 range, had three 8s, and one 5...shrug. Idk what the hell these people are looking at when they grade. I looked at every square cm of those cards...

I don't follow MLS close enough, but since the Fire already play their games there, are they just going to turn it into their official home stadium, full-time, with the occasional use for concerts? Blackhawks should play an outdoor home game every year there too.

Maybe I’m just up in my feelz, but I don’t like losing Schrauth and I can’t stand the short yardage operation without Riley (although Carr has shown an ability to execute QB run). Maybe stats don’t support my emoting. I’m willing to be talked off the ledge by OMM and others. For the record, I...
