Beauty transcends our world and this cannot be classically defined, as a square can be defined as a figure with four, equal sides at right angles.
Things may have the appearance of beauty while being false or evil, in which case they are not truly beautiful. Such was my point, and by appearances yours a well.
It's illegal to eat pet food!
Yes. Beauty is compelling, so it is according to the appetites primary. Truth and goodness are multipliers, once understood, but the individual must pay attention to the beauty to understand the goodness and truth behind it.
In other words: marketing or branding.
Beauty is the face of the offer, truth is the goodwill of the offer, and goodness is the value of the offer.
What we offer now in this context is a life in union with reality and harmony with neighbor. That must be beautiful.
Truth and goodness, also.
A beautiful thing that lacks truth or goodness is a lie or a trap.
A good thing that lacks beauty or truth is sterile efficiency or a distraction
A true thing that lacks goodness or beauty is brutal or bland.
Only things which are truly good can also be called beautiful, only things which are fully true can be called good, and only those things which are truly beautiful are also fully true and honest.
I don't know the numbers off the top of my head, but I seem to recall Argentina's inflation was regularly doubling monthly. My point is that 4.2% can hardly be called sustainable or livable. You basically still have to hold zero pesos and only foreign currency or physical commodities.
Yeah. No thought goes into taking on sponsors. They don't care at all.
Man, that's rough. That's still 64% annual. We in America have had a nasty 10% annual since 2017, and wages have not kept up, but 4.2%/mo being low is astounding.
Honestly, I kinda like it. By "tariff" does he mean imported goods or also labor? I'm thinking about foreign virtual assistants, fivrr, etc.
An actual coven complete with fertility black magic. Wow...
Hold up... I need to know exactly how hyperbolic this is... what?
Today, I interview Shaina Freitas of Farmhouse Flooring. Just like so many of others I interview and consult, the service goes so far beyond the product. Her real intent is to make you feel at-home when you come in to her shop and to get a deep sense of welcome.
We get into all the great details about how she helps her clients really discover what they desire in their home, helps them get it, and all the while in an atmosphere that feels as comfortable as their renewed homes will be.

100%! Low church Protestantism is so far removed from Catholicism that they have lost the meaning of worship and now see Bible study and prayer as worship, as in latria, whereas we see latria as basically sacrifice, and most notably the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Because of this, and the fact that they still want to claim to be "worshiping" has motivated them to see Bible study, singing, and prayer as such. This is also why they see prayer to the saints as blasphemous, and, similarly but to a much lesser degree, so is reading their books in a spirit of deference and reverence.

We may simply have different experiences with protestants.
My family of origin are protestant, and when they say "the Word" (you can hear the capitalized "W") and when they hear "Word of God," they think the Bible. You may hear something like, "I was in the Word yesterday morning, and the Lord put it on my heart to tell you..." They think that reading the Scriptures **is** worship in a similar way we believe that consuming and imbibing the body and blood of Christ in the Mass is, because you are taking Him into yourself through "The Word."
I counter and ask, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the Word became Flesh, indeed, but when did the Word then become written and cease being flesh?" True worship of God is to become one with Him, but that doesn't happen by reading the Bible.
Now, "The word of the Lord, etc." and "the gospel of the Lord, etc." are totally fine (I would be the one with the problem if I has a problem with that), but it requires some specification and distinctions
I agree. As any alternative, anything other than the Trinity would necessarily be lesser.
It would be hyperbolic and an oversimplification to say Sola Scriptura is **actually** Islamic, sure, but you do see a parallel in that it makes the book into "the Word of God." I've heard protestants say something along the lines in reference to "the Word" in John 1 being also the Bible, which is tantamount to making the Bible an object of worship. It's one probable reason why the pulpit is the center of their churches in the stead of an altar.
I probably should have separated into paragraphs. I meant that it's been awhile since I read Exodus in reference to "God wrote and handed to Moses...specifically Exodus," but I didn't mean to say Moses passed away in the book with my next statement. Rather, that he did within the timespan of the Pentateuch.
So, God wrote the Decalog, gave it to Moses, and it got smashed but re-written presumably without error. In that way the original text and its copied could have been called God's literal words, but translations are still works of men.
In this way, our Scriptures are distinct from the texts of Mohammed because translations are not recognized as the same text, whereas we do recognize translations as legitimate, albeit not normally protected by infallibility.
This is, I guess, reason #58 against Sola Scriptura: which translation, or canon for that matter, is the actual authoritative one? KJV-only? The Latin Vulgate? Who decides?
