What Does Eucharistic Coherence Entail?

Last updated on: September 29, 2023 at 2:41 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

When trying to understanding “eucharistic coherence,” we should keep in mind the way the eucharist was first given out: during a communal meal associated, in some fashion, with the Passover (there are debates as to when the Last Supper took place, with some saying it happened before Passover, and others, during Passover). There was no fasting before communion, nor was there some sort of specially developed liturgy which Jesus developed to present his followers with their first communion. It was,... Read more

God And Gender

Last updated on: September 28, 2023 at 2:41 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

God has no gender. God transcends all genders, and yet all genders participate in and demonstrate divine attributes. This is why Genesis says that God created both male and female in the divine image: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Gen. 1:27 RSV). Masculine, feminine, and even neuter pronouns, can be used for God. When they are used, they do not indicate any gender... Read more

God And The Poor

Last updated on: September 26, 2023 at 2:44 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

St. Peter Chrysologus pointed out that those who stand for and promote the poor are, according to Jesus, those who will be seen as of the highest rank in the kingdom of God. For God is a God of the poor. God stands with the poor, the needy, those who suffer injustice, and those, therefore, who support them imitate God: That Abel suffered, that Noah preserved the world, that Abraham maintained faith, that Moses brought the Law, that Peter was...

Prejudice, Tradition, And The Canaanite Woman

Last updated on: September 24, 2023 at 2:43 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Great faith can lead to great deeds. Even those whom many people think are far from God, those whom are seen as ritually unclean, or sinners, can have such great faith that they reveal themselves as being far holier than those whom people otherwise see as holy and pure. We can find this being indicated to us when Jesus encountered a Canaanite woman: And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And behold,... Read more

The World Must Help Migrants Today, Not Tomorrow

Last updated on: September 22, 2023 at 2:40 am By Henry Karlson

We seem to be living in a time of mass migration. It is not the first time in history, nor, if humanity survives present day threats like climate change and war, will it likely be the last. While much can be and has been said about the sad treatment of migrants and refugees in the United States, often by those who claim to be Christian, the problem surrounding migrants and refugees is far more extensive than what is happening in...

Eschatological Justice

Last updated on: September 21, 2023 at 2:45 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

One of the great Christian hopes, a hope which is not uniquely Christian but something Christians inherited from the Jews, is that God’s justice will prevail in the eschaton. That is, we hope that God will somehow overcome and fix all the injustices people suffered in the world. We hope that those who suffered great oppression, those who suffered great pain and sorrow, will be able to discern how, in the midst of it, God was not only on their... Read more

We Must Not Ignore The Symbolic Aspect Of The Sacraments

Last updated on: September 19, 2023 at 2:42 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

We have grown so accustomed to ignore the symbolic aspect of the sacraments that many believe that there is nothing symbolic about them. Traditionally, not only was the symbolic aspect of the sacraments understood, it was embraced, leading to all kinds of explorations as to how the symbols could and should be interpreted. Indeed, it was accepted that the symbolic side was necessary for us because the sacraments contained within them transcendent mysteries which the symbols helped us apprehend. We... Read more

The Foolishness Of God

Last updated on: September 17, 2023 at 2:44 am By Henry Karlson

While common sense often provides basic insight which can be useful in making judgments, it is far from infallible. It represents what collective wisdom, handed down from the past, suggests for those living today. Much of that wisdom was hard-earned, and certainly, it has value, but the reason why we cannot rely upon common sense, but rather, must judge it, is because we continue to develop our understanding of the world around us. We often have discovered many presuppositions given... Read more

We Should Not Act As The Judge

Last updated on: September 15, 2023 at 2:42 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

We are told in Scripture that it is God, not us, who is to act as the judge. We are also told, when Jesus comes again, he will judge the living and the dead. Taking the two together, we can conclude Jesus is God. It is Jesus who has the right to judge; anyone who presumes to take on that role and condemn others try to act as if they are God when they are not. Jesus is the just... Read more

Christians Must Stand With Christ, Not Greg Abbott

Last updated on: September 13, 2023 at 9:23 am By Henry Karlson

Cruelty continues to be the point as Texas Governor Greg Abbott pushes on with his fight against migrants at the Texas border. He dehumanizes them in order to justify deadly barriers, barriers which he says are needed to keep people from illegally crossing the border. In reality, he is attacking those who are coming or staying legally, such as those looking for asylum, even as his own tactics are hypocritical as he has workers illegally cross the border to place...
