If you only believe in that which you can see, taste, touch, smell, or test under a microscope, then how do you begin to grapple with invisible realities like concepts, math, abstractions, etc. If these dimensions are real, then what is their cause? There must be a Prime Thinker, namely God. (June 25, 2021)
Ought all Christians to become Catholic? Most Christians think of Christian unity as a good thing, but oftentimes due to having a differing view of the nature of the Church, they have conflicting views as to what unity looks like.

On the eve of Christ’s Passion, Jesus prayed to the Heavenly Father for his disciples, “that they may all be one… so that the world may believe that you have sent me”(Jn 17:21 RSV-2CE).

We must abide in Christ as a branch remains on the vine, or else we will not bear fruit and be cut off. How do we abide in Christ?
Christ is clearly portrayed as divine in the latest written Gospel, the Gospel of John, but what about the earlier Gospels? Did the early Christians just have hallucinations of a bodily resurrection and then make the man Jesus into a divine being? Or did the resurrection actually happen and Christ was shown to be divine from the beginning? Check out Eric's new book: "Essays in the Deep" on Amazon.
