@RituaLPharma @Jasonscx2 @AtheistPhoenix “Because the resurrection is only one possible explanation and I introduced to you another possible explanation the difference is that the explanation that I’m giving you can be proven with facts. It is a fact that drugs get you high and you can hallucinate.”

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@steven18613 @Xtopher_Uzo And it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we are saved. Acts 4:12.

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@steven18613 @Xtopher_Uzo It also includes Bowing to images, of saints because of the prior reason, and to images of Jesus because you are bowing to a physical object that is not Jesus. Finally, it includes making a dogma of about anyone other than God, because a dogma is a belief necessary to salvation…

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@steven18613 @Xtopher_Uzo You have a VERY narrow definition of idolatry. Idolatry is not just replacing God with another in religious ritual, it is replacing God with another in any sense. That includes prayer to anyone but God alone, and one must pray to the saints in order to request intercession.

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@RituaLPharma @Jasonscx2 @AtheistPhoenix Drugs are the source. You also have refused to address the problems with hallucination as a hypothesis.

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@RituaLPharma @Jasonscx2 @AtheistPhoenix You clearly are not reading what I am writing. Your history case is based on a fallacy, the appeal to possibly. You are saying that because it is POSSIBLE that the early Christian used drugs then it is the cause of their beliefs. This is fallacious. You have to demonstrate that…

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@arthurjscotty @___TheGOOdWitch Either you did not understand my argument, in which case you are not paying enough attention, or else you are just ignoring it in which case you are acting in bad faith.

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@RituaLPharma @Jasonscx2 @AtheistPhoenix Because you made an error in your use of the word. I also in a separate reply argued against your assertion that your assertion is true until proven false.

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@RituaLPharma @Jasonscx2 @AtheistPhoenix I already have dealt with the hallucination hypothesis.🤦‍♂️

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@CatholicDrip___ “Without the respect she deserved”

Well that involves some serious preconceptions. What respect did he think she deserved? To be spoken about favorably, called blessed? Or did he think she needed to be honored as queen of heaven, perpetual virgin, assumed to heaven, etc?

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@88mph121 @MrCasey62 Intecessor and mediator are synonymous terms.

A mediator is someone who intercedes between two or more parties, an intercessor is someone who mediates between two or more parties.

We reach the father through one man, the man Christ Jesus who is man and God.

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@RituaLPharma @Jasonscx2 @AtheistPhoenix You were the one that brought up the word.🤦‍♂️

It’s “history” when you do it and “etymology” when I do? That’s a blatant double standard.

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@RituaLPharma @Jasonscx2 @AtheistPhoenix Metaphor”

I have given direct and explicit reasons as to why other hypotheses don’t work, INCLUDING hallucination.

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@RituaLPharma @Jasonscx2 @AtheistPhoenix You have the burden of proof to show that your claim is true. You claim that all the spiritual experiences are the result of hallucinogenic drugs. You have to demonstrate that. So far you have said “there were drugs, and the Bible uses an eye ointment that contains drugs in a…

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@CatholicDrip___ That’s literally not what I said AT ALL.

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@Emma506131772 Is your entire purpose to misunderstand what people say?

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@Xtopher_Uzo @TestAllThings_ And what if your authority is wrong about what those passages mean?

You are simply assuming the authority of your institution.

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@Xtopher_Uzo Passage means, then reading the Bible for themselves is not required, it’s not even advisable because they may conclude something incorrect.

Which one sounds more appropriate for scripture?

[Jake Harlan @JakeHarlan03]

@Xtopher_Uzo That’s a very dishonest way of framing both. 1. Protestants don’t just pick an interpretation and then automatically think it’s true. There are all kinds of ways that these interpretations are tested.
2. If Catholics seriously just go to church teaching to understand what every…
