Eh, that's fair. Might be my own selection bias.

Ah, I didn't mean to mischaracterize, that's how I understood your replies. In that case, returning to the start of this line of thought I have a few questions then: In Revelation John was worshiping the angel, was he praying to it, praising it, or offering thanksgiving? Was it his feeling...

Er, the post itself or my hosting a service to browse reddit without their bullshit?

It won't. Because the institutions of the Church are under the full control of the enemy.

Well, when I asked if prayer and worship are synonymous, that is to say, the same thing you said that yes they are. Furthermore, you've said that the physical actions you take are whole and entire what prayer is. It follows then that it doesn't matter what someone's doing/feeling/saying in their...

Ah, then I think we've reached the end of anything we can really convince each other of here. It's just a completely irreconcilable point of view. It would allow someone who is outwardly praising the Lord with their words to be cursing his name simultaneously in their mind. That loophole gets...

To be fair, that's a pretty legit concern in this day and age.

I host my own service to browse reddit. Strips out all the tracking - You know trans women are real women because they get shamed as dirty perverts for exhibiting basic human sexual attraction. - r/CuratedTumblr

I mean, there is the idea that your shouldn't accept the terms of your rival in a debate. The doctrine of Sola Scriptura isn't something Orthodox or Catholics follow so we should argue from that point of view.

Agreed 100%. It's not like I think rent-seeking should be made illegal or something. To continue the poison analogy- "All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison."

I see. If I'm understanding your explanation worship is vocally spoken, somewhat lyrical (or fully sung), praise or asking for something. It should always be directed solely to the Lord. Presumably, this isn't the only means of worship, since you are welcome to say prayers quietly in your mind...

Ah, right. yeah, that is a pickle. In my head, I had the conception was that it was chemical or mechanical scavenging and not EM scavenging. Then in this theoretical experiment, you could put a distinct radio signal from a transmitter inside the faraday cage. Something with a known frequency...

Wouldn't this be easy enough to verify by sitting in a faraday cage and then sticking a radio receiver inside? You may not be able to decode the output but if there's a BT signal being given off then it will be in a proscribed RF frequency range, within a certain band of transmission power given...

Sure, but the point of contention between us is what "that" is. You say it's the act of falling to his knees and worshiping the angel. I say it's the offering of homage and love due to God given to the angel. I may have missed it, but now that I've answered you what I mean when I say "worship"...

I'll begin my response here. This may be a quirk of translation but that's not what I get from that passage (I use the Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition). The text from that version reads: Adoration is a very specific action and intrinsic to the Catholic sense of worship. We absolutely should...

Sorry for the long pause between responses, I'm not a particularly prolific poster so I usually lurk instead of post. So, for Catholics worship is, in general, paying homage to God. This can be exterior (rituals, audible and public prayer, acts of mercy) or interior (meditation, silent prayers...

Stop feeding the troll. Didn't you guys learn anything from the early internet?

Wow a low count sleeper account asking about 3D printed weapons in a forum of right wingers not dedicated to firearms. Help. I've been blinded.

Sure, but they aren't mutually exclusive. The Cathedral killing off Christians via Islamist catspaws doesn't mean the Islamists haven't been killing as many Jews as they can get their hands on.

You know, I thought I'd disagree with this but nope. Definitely agree with the whole article. Rent seeking behavior is poison.
