You're simply wrong on what the church teaches, and what it doesn't. It does not teach a literal interpretation of Genesis as necessary.

I red on how that problem was perceived by the Western Church and indeed Augustine of Hippo has a similar view on creation and original sin as what you said - I guess there is a big difference between RC and Orthodoxy on that matter. I am aware RC is geared towards natural theology and nominalism due to influence by Augustine and Aquinas.

The Eastern fathers like St Basil rejected allegorical interpretation as did most in the Orthodox tradition. Here's a great compilation of the recent patristic views delving in evolution too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0sdPLJO3cE

Origin was heretical because he denied original sin.

You're thinking about Pelagius. Origen was condemned for teaching God was incorporeal as well as his heterodox views on sexuality and excessively allegorical hermeneutic.

And Fr. was talking about this in 1982 like the end was night. No man knows the hour.

We're living in the end times and that's evident by the many signs that have came to pass. All saints agree on that and this is what Jesus and the apostles teach us in scripture. But it's true we don't know how long the end times will last - could be 100 or 1000 years. Once the Temple is rebuilt the events of the apocalypse will unravel in a matter of years.

Death occurs before the fall, just not for humans, who ate from the tree of life. When the Bible says death came into the world due to Adam's sin, it only mentions humans.

That's not what the Church teaches. God is life. God created everything and it was good. Therefore death is the moving away from God which only took place when Adam and Eve disobeyed God through their own free will. The Garden of Eden was paradise and there's no death in paradise. There was no death and no evil before the fall period. The first death of a living being was the animal that was used for it's skin to make their garments. The fall of man changed the whole nature of the world - it was cosmic in scope. This is the dogmatic teaching of both the Catholic and the Orthodox Churches and it's been so since the first ecumenical councils.

The creation story in Genesis, of the two of them, the one that deals with Adam and Eve, can be, by good Christians, accepted as purely allegorical. Our first ancestors disobeyed God in some way, and thus we have original sin.

Again, not what the Church teaches. This was a common heresy committed by the early gnostics. I believe Origen was excommunicated because of his free interpretation of Genesis. This may fly with gnostics, kabbalists, Jungians and Jordan Peterson but it's not a Christian interpretation.

From a scientific perspective, the universe is billions of years old and stars have winked out of existence before man first drew breath.

Where's the evidence of that? Is this real science at all or just Carl DeGrasse Dawkins story time for scientismo goobers? Has this been demonstrated using the scientific method? Why would a Christian take this wild speculation about what happened billions of years ago (which is based on pure faith and baseless assumptions of the nature of the universe btw) and prefer it to God's own revelation?

You're doing freestyle gnostic new-agey interpretation of Scripture and that's why I called you protestant. As a Catholic you're supposed to follow the teachings and dogmas of the RC Church as the sole authority on theological matters and correct your views when they diverge.

Depends on what aspects of darwinism you're using. God most certainly could have used evolution as the means to create the first fully human beings of Adam and Eve.

No, because evolution as we understand it presupposes death before the fall. This has been condemned by the ecumenical councils. They also condemned all metaphorical interpretations of the creation story in Genesis and one can't read a natural determined process like evolution in it if the story is taken literally. Also, what did man evolve from? Did he possess the image and likeness of God in those previous stages and if he did, why did he have to continue evolving? When did that qualitative transition during that process occur (when did man acquire free will)?

As for the alien demon hypothesis, I am going to outsource this to Jimmy Akin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LDj2By1JLM

I'll check it. Here's where I got my understanding on aliens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxcyYUzYFEE

Sure, there is no explicit teaching on darwinism too but such propositions have entailments that contradict the Church teachings. ETs make sense in Christianity as being angels/demons only.

Possibly the worst president in history, Wilson got the US into the fakest and gayest of all banker wars - WWI, even though he promised not to get the nation into the conflict. He was instrumental in instigating the jewish Bolshevik revolution (ran from Wall str) and was a staunch supporter of the League of Nations (later UN) - the first one world government organization.

He initially opposed the right of women to vote but came around and supported the 19th amendment in 1920, because "he saw women can vote adequately" (meaning feminists who supported his fabian socialist policies).

Thanks, Woodrow. I'd like to get this sob out of the grave for a quick tour so that he can witness the degeneracy he delivered to the US and the world. But I'm sure he's at an even worse place now.

What church teaching you what?

Oh, you're protestant I get it. You mentioning purgatory threw me off. The apostolic Church established by Christ to preserve and spread the word of God which is the only path to salvation - there is no other Church.

When John wrote Revelation, that's the end of "public revelation."

It is speculated John wrote Revelation around 90AD. It was the Church that centuries later compiled the Bible and decided John's gospel to be within the Christian tradition.

Deeper thinkers than you thought long and hard about this, and they didn't have the answers you do.

Those are not my ideas, I'm not a gnostic possessing some secret knowledge. I'm relating the teachings of the Church fathers who kept the tradition and knowledge that was revealed to us by God.

Either way, scripture applies to humans.

Exactly. How do you have knowledge of anything that doesn't apply to humans? I can imagine a lot of things that most likely are not real. This is exactly what the atheists argue with the stupid Flying spaghetti monster (which is based on Bertrand Russel's teapot) - we don't know that such a thing doesn't exist somewhere in the universe with certainty, yet with no proof there's no reason to believe in it.

Your limiting yourself.

Yes, I'm limiting myself to what the Church teaches about cosmology and our world. The path of truth is straight and narrow.

On the far side of the universe, or in alternate ones, there could be a species that is immortal, having never fallen like man.

Metaverse and realities beside our world and the Kingdom of God make no sense in Christianity. This is wild speculation and fantasy at best and gnostic heresy at worst. The term species itself is not Christian at all. It originates from evo theory and presupposes naturalism. Man is a unique creature made in the image of God and not a product of speciation of biological life.

Is there a reason God has not revealed the creation of another such creature in the creation story? I take it you're Catholic, so you should be aware your Church teaches that God has deposited His revelation in fullness starting with the OT prophets and ending at Pentecost and the establishment of the Church as the new Ark of the covenant.

You'd have to make that work in the Christian cosmology. According to scripture there are 4 categories of created beings - angels (demons are in this category), animals, man and Nephilim (the result of humans and angels interbreeding).

When the crisis comes where everyone will need use something outside their countries currency to conduct business (because their currency will be too volatile or hyperinflating), that will be the testing ground for crypto, not this bullshit small fry game we are playing in the market right now.

When the crisis comes people will subscribe to the CBDC of their country. Have you not learned anything during the coof? Most countries in the west got over 80% of the people injected with the gmo mystery juice, believe me they will use CBDC even without a crisis. Normies don't question the usury system they were born in.

There will be a small crypto market for the rest but it will be a pain in the ass to access and eventually will be made illegal. There will be many incentives for crypto holders to transition to CBDC. This was always the plan and when it happens you will know who created the technology.

All crypto is downstream to BTC - if it fails, everything else will follow. As with all money it hinges on trust and recognition. Do you know who holds the majority of BTC? Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? You don't even know who developed it (it was most likely DARPA) let alone who really controls it. I know how it works and what it is as I said I hold some BTC.

If banks love gold so much more than Fiat, why did they create a fiat system that was designed to overtake gold as payments settlement?

I've addressed that - both gold and fiat (as well as CBDC) are tools in their toolkit and serve different purposes. People will never hold enough gold to make a difference. I guess it's the same with all money and it makes sense since we know (((who))) is hoarding it for hundreds of years.

What you're reading is dogshit. You're missing the forest for the trees.

It's only the best, most well researched book on the Fed by a conspiracy legend.

Again, I'm not saying fiat money is better than gold, I'm saying it's a false dichotomy and the gold standard is not a silver bullet for escaping the usury based system created by the central bankers and I supported my claim with historical facts - "the bad guys" wanted the gold standard at least in the wartime period. It's not a black and white dialectic.

The only reason the central banks are buying up gold now is because they know the world economy is mega fucked so they are now buying what will keep them in power until they make a new currency they'll try to force on everyone.

It's not megafucked to them, it is just as they steered it to be. They want degrowth circular economy with unparalleled control of all money and that's where we're heading. You're making it seem as if they're scrambling not knowing what's going on. They know, they've planned it for decades if not centuries.
