Good evil

Perhaps you don’t bother looking.

Dude, we like, have their bones.

If you would be the one to bother to look, you would note that a reply was given, but not to you, directly, as you don't get the details.

But really, I don't know why I'm even bothering myself in corresponding with you. In fact, I'm through with you for the rest of this year. And unless you apologize for your willful ignorance, 2024 will be a silent year for you, as far as I'm concerned.

So what? It is the story that has been assigned to them if wrong changes the whole thing, bones are just bones. We have text that have the authors names in them that have been handed down to through the ages, same story copied down in several different languages from different continents, the numbers in the thousands.

@pettytalk said
You know! When enough bones are available, and put into place, it's like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. When you have enough of them, although not all of them, one can begin to draw pictures and conclusions.

The Bible draws enough pictures, using words, which can bring many to the wrong conclusions. We don't have all the pieces of the largest and most complex puzzle eve ...[text shortened]... d death, most of all. And like any other good story for children, we'll all live happily ever after.

Oh! You're funny, or more dense than I imagined. Details, details, details.

KellyJay, if he was speaking to you, he would tell you that the devil is in the details.

Looks like we have 2 people here who think dinos and humans co-existed but are too embarrassed to admit it.

Evil is hated by God, we only see evil as bad and not so bad it is so engrained into us we don't even recognize it more times than not we are so used to it. Perfect love will hate evil in the smallest degree., perfect love will always see evil for what it is and not accept it in any degree to suffer it to go forward. The cross of Christ we all can go to because God made a way to Him in Jesus Christ,

I'd say it's only thru supernatural devices that you can hate perfectly (or love, for that matter)

@divegeester said
What is a “supernatural device”?

@fmf said
A crystal ball would be one example. A Ouija board would be another. Then there are the chalices used to perform transubstantiation during a Catholic mass. There are many examples.

@divegeester said
But are these examples of supernatural devices through which one channel perfect love or perfect love?

@fmf said
"...or perfect hate" I think you mean.

The chalices used to perform transubstantiation during a Catholic mass are "supernatural devices" that are believed to allow believers to eat and drink the body and blood of Christ which is, I suppose, a means of channelling Jesus's perfect love while, at the same time, being an example of a ritual onto which disapproving Protestants can latch in order to channel their perfect hatred of Catholics.

Good answer, but I’m pretty sure that isn’t what PettyTalk was rambling on about.
