@DanielJTer78440 @FrMatthewLC Lots to unpack, so let's start in reverse order

What do you make of 1 Cor. 4:15?

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@DanielJTer78440 @FrMatthewLC What are the contradictions, as you understand them?

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@DanielJTer78440 @FrMatthewLC Please provide specific examples of tradition contradicting Sacred Scripture

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@DanielJTer78440 @FrMatthewLC Yes, I dare to compare those who misunderstand the True faith to some degree (Protestants) with those who misunderstand it to a larger degree (including Muslims)

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@AperiCorX @FrMatthewLC No Catholic denied that the Arians were Christian. They just corrected the heresy.

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

Your positions now seem inconsistent.

Earlier, you said the Jews worship a different God. Now you're saying they reject the correct God even though they "intend" to worship him.

I understand how one can offer imperfect worship (e.g. Protestants). But how is it possible to worship a different God than the one you intend to worship? Do you mean they're pagans or atheists or something else?

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@AperiCorX @FrMatthewLC Correct. This is why they worship the same God, though they misunderstand him. As do Muslims.

This is useful to know for evangelization.

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@DanielJTer78440 @FrMatthewLC Some do. But you didn't answer my question.

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@AperiCorX @FrMatthewLC Never heard the claim that Jews worship a different God before, but at least you're consistent

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@DanielJTer78440 @FrMatthewLC Do Protestant denominations each relay the same message?

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@AperiCorX @FrMatthewLC Jews reject the Son and the Trinity. Do they worship the same God as Christians?

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@Crux_Catholic @FrMatthewLC This is actually correct. St John Damascene writes that Muhammad met an Arian priest in Arabia. Islam is at heart a quasi-Arian heresy

Trades are useful. They are meaningful. They are hard skills. But they are commodities

As more men enter them, the highest incomes will get even more rare - even among owners, as the market saturates

@csa_appreciator What happened to Chambersburg, PA when they refused to pay the ransom the Confederates demanded?

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@CatholicPods Posts like this are why the Protestants get away with saying we worship Mary

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@OldTankerPhil Yeah, my soldiers hated it when I valued their lives above their equipment

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

The OP is expressly about not "sacrificing the mission" because everyone makes it.

Believe it or not, the Army has more than one helicopter. Sometimes they even get new ones.

Your profile claims that you're "retired Army". Looks like you may have driven a tank. Is this true? If so, why are you struggling to comprehend why the helicopter is less important than the men on it?

What was your GT score?

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@OldTankerPhil You're an interesting character

Yes, I absolutely believe an airframe is of less worth than an operator

Have you ever served?

[Chris Coda @realChrisCoda]

@OldTankerPhil @dmbkparker My perspective on war came from a couple deployments

Where'd you get yours?
