One small correction: Eve, it is said in the Scriptures - at least I think it so reads in them - was created out of one of Adam's ribs - the seventh? - not out...
Ha... Thank you Meddy, for eventually getting around to the questions I intended, which is all I ever meant to refer to by the phrase, "the right questions." ...
'which they quell by grasping something concrete that they do understand' That's, again, the same incomprehension between us, with yet the older objection of...
Neh, Mederic, I believe I was describing, as H did, the moment leading up to the leap. Anxiety -- and then the leap. That is what I meant by my concluding...

Yes, that's right, Mederic. Dogmatics does not explain, it states factually -- so my wording was poor. But at the same time, you are quoting selectively. H...
Mederic, Thank you for your posts today – they are helpful. My head is about to explode with all this stuff, so I will restrict myself to stilted remarks. I...
My answer to this dilemma from CA has been that the anxiety which is the disposition to sin is not exclusively a disposition to sin, but also a disposition to...
Dear James, I can't understand your reaction here. Weren't you the one who explicitly asked me to share my understanding on these matters? Allow me to refresh...
Mederic, I am not offended, was not offended, and did not sound offended. "Quoting selectively" means "ignoring relevant passages to the contrary." Of...
You surely did sound offended to me, and furthermore you keep sounding so in your reply. Unanswered questions? Which questions of yours have I left behind? Now...
Mederic, I'm sorry, but if you claim I sounded offended in the post in question, I can't take seriously your claim to be trying to have a detailed conversation...
I don't think I'll need to read again your previous post. I have read it with all due carefulness in the first place. On the contrary it might be advisable for...
Mederic, yes, I understand that you were asking for a quotation, but you were asking for a quotation of a position I'm not advocating. Here's your passage...
So, are we back on tracks? Am I all of a sudden worthy again or rather worthy anew to have this serious discussion? What's happened? A miracle? Whatever that...
Hi Mederic and Jim, I've been following your discussion with great interest and I tell you that I am grateful to you both for showing me how broad a page ...
Dear Tom, You are quite welcome! Are you by any chance the major Tom db is talking in his songs? Anyway, no I have not for my part seen the film. How bad was...
Dear James, Sorry I did not turn to you earlier to-day. You are more than welcome for the posts! And yet I am however sorry if I have contributed to your ...
Tom -- yes, I've seen Dogma, and thought it was hilarious. I think I've heard that the screenwriter is a Catholic -- may even have read interviews, but it's...
All, It has come to my attention that neither of the two individuals who did most to initiate this thought-provoking and fruitful thread – Don and apoorear...
Gad...it's like dealing with a 15 year old who doesn't accept responsibility for any of his own actions and words. Thank you for your post, Jim S., and I wish...
Dear JimS, I tried to send you a reply at the Kierkegaardians before but I guess I was bouncing so it never made it. There I thanked you and others for your...
Dear Agner, Thank you for your post, which I find very helpful. I have been formulating a post of my own trying to map out the relationships between the...
Very good to hear from you, Agner. I'll be responding to Jim S's response so hopefully you can respond in turn to both of us. Jim S: I'm traveling again, so...
