@frankkolnacki Thank you for the clarification Brother Frank. I think my response sounded more harsh/offputting than I inteneded; I do apologize.
All the best, Peace be with you.
@Franklinrealben@TuckerCarlson Of course I support police and fire departments. But you’re making a dishonest argument based on a false equivalency aren’t you.
I'm a faithful Catholic.
I love and pray for you, and your salvation.
I dont care how you worship our Lord.
Your walk with Christ is yours to make, and not mine to judge.
If the point of your post is to Glorify our God, the Lord sees it, and knows your intent.
If your point is to sow division amongst The Faithful, keep in mind, Millstones are heavy.
Peace be with you.
I open up my Twitter Machine each morning and I see a ton of Catholic vs Catholic fighting - trying to battle for the crown “most reverent.”
This shouldn’t be a competition. We should be a family helping each other to get to Heaven. That’s the goal.
So how can we pray for each other?
@FrMatthewLC Being granted Absolution during Mass so you can receive the Eucharist would be nice, my only 2 options are get up Saturday morning at 5am, or leaving work 3 hours early on a Wednesday...
The third option is don't sin, but I really suck at that. Peace be with You Father.
@FrMatthewLC The funny thing is, Giving confession is a wonderfully cathartic experience, people are so intimidated by it, but you walk away feeling so much better.
Thanks be to God!
That was a kinder response than I expected, thank you.
I appreciate the thoughtful response, and I agree that archaeology is an important part of understanding the ancient world. It’s good to ask honest questions about the evidence.
At the same time, I think there are a few assumptions worth examining. The idea that we should expect to find extensive remains from a large migrating population in the Sinai assumes conditions that may not apply to ancient nomadic groups. The Sinai is a harsh environment where organic materials decay quickly, later populations disturb sites, and identifying temporary camps thousands of years later can be extremely difficult.
There is also debate among archaeologists about the size, timeline, and nature of the Exodus. Some scholars understand the biblical numbers differently than a straightforward modern population count, while others debate the chronology itself. So the conversation is not simply "archaeology has disproven the Exodus."
For me, the important point is that faith does not require ignoring evidence, and archaeology does not always provide a complete picture of the past. We should be humble about what we know and what we don't know.
I appreciate that you're approaching the question seriously. Honest searching is a good thing, and Christians shouldn't be afraid of sincere questions. Peace be with you.
Just imagine how great a witness this person could be for Christ if they would just let go of their anger, and pride, so they could turn back to Jesus Christ. It would be the seminal moment in their lives, and would make for a great Conversion. @ToriatheistTori , have you ever thought about joining OCIA? I'd be happy to help you find a sponsor. The peace of the Lord be with you Always
