These are just stories to make is so you can return to your right brain again and then first know who you are.
You are definetly not a catholic. I find very ammusing that Gods reward for us to reason kick us out of Eden and let us die. Some loving god.
Hold it please, you are RUSHING TO THE CONCLUSION because he did not say that otherwise you will not die. All he said is that you [consciously] know that you will die, and that already means that the TOK makes reference to the conscious mind in us.
If original sin did not make us conscious we would not consciously know that we will die, and therefore also will have no dream to live because a divided mind is needed to dream.
From here it follows that "it will be an evil age when old men shall have dreams", to say that IF old men have dreams we live in an evil age = not native to man in the image of God
The trick used here was "lexischemi" as one of the 6 original tricks used to lead, or perhaps mislead and deceive humans to do their dirty work for them (and they just harvest the gold, you can say).
So in essence they were 'people ranchers', you can now say, and that is what the shepherd-sheep image was about, and that idea was sold by Eusebius to Constantine back then and the rest is history we can say.
The other 5 tricks used were called homonimity, amphiboly, synthesis, diairesis and prosedy. We know then all as linguistic fallacies today and really all it means is "reader beware" and hence the Imprimatur is needed from the good old Catholic pope, and further, and advisory is issued against reading the bible on your own.
Then I can add that if eternal life belongs to the mythology they would have eminent domain over us, and that surely would be after tax and therefore they are exempt. In other words, they are entitled to the net and therefore all roads lead to Rome.
Obviously required here was that eternal life must be found before they could collect, and that merely is promise made at Baptism, I think, and that would be why only Catholic water will do the trick for them.
And is that still Catholic here?
