“VATICAN CITY, June 23 (Reuters) - The Vatican on Tuesday reaffirmed a long-standing rule that only an ordained priest or deacon can give a sermon at a Catholic mass, rejecting a request from German bishops to broaden the practice and allow sermons by women or other laypeople.”
Genesis 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light.” And light became.
how did the Apostle John and the author of Genesis know thay light can be created from matter more than a thousand years before it was proven via colliders?
John 1:4 Life was in Him, and Life was the light of men.
They didn’t? Nothing in that passage implies anything scientific or anything even about the nature of light and the relationship between matter and energy.
the Bible is in parables
and yes, it does? Light can create, and God is the light of all men, God is the creator of all men, and God also illuminates our lives in a special way
The new testament isn’t in parables at all. Some of the characters in the new testament use parables, but that’s not the same. And if the bible is parables, nothing in it is meant to be taken in any way literally which clearly isn’t the case. You’re taking contradictory positions. And nothing about the passage implies anything about light or physics whatsoever.
MOST of it is in parables, the parts about Jesus and his life are personal testimonies of the disciples
Or not: https://factually.co/fact-checks/religion/gospels-where-written-by-whom-88e1e4
Are the gospels even considered part of the catholic canon?
they are different in styles because they are different people
Yes, they are
Do your arms get tired carrying those goalposts?
Ok if that’s your proof then I can use quotes from the Hobbit to prove dragons are real.
if tolkien predicted particle physics 2000+ years ago before modern colliders I would say he has a point
The Bible didn’t predict particle physics and I’m genuinely confused as to how you get that interpretation.
it implies that light can possibly create matter
No it doesn’t.
it does
How? Be specific. Use established theological scholarly sources for your assertion. I’ve never heard anyone make this type of claim before. What denomination do you practice, and is that belief in line with your established canon?
