Yes - I guessed that was what you were saying. That was the preferred form of philosophy of John Paul. I have a copy of his masters thesis from his university years.

I must say - I can pretty much sail through Augustine and Aristotle and Plato - but John Paul’s paper - is the most difficult thing I have ever attempted to read and comprehend. The man who spoke 12 languages keeps 12 thoughts running at the same time.

I admit, after several tries - I have failed to get thought it. And it is less than 150 pages!!!

It is called "The Acting Person" and I can wade in for about 25 pages before I just do not have the ability hold onto all the threads he is unraveling.

You asked the rhetorical question of how to love God and man daily - that is best answered in a practical way by Erick Fromm’s book “The Art of Loving”.

No, I didn't know that about John Paul II. And didn't read the book you mention. I also found it hard to comprehend his writings.

The present Pope seems to write quite well - at least his Lenten meditations were very well written and easy to understand.

I read Erich Fromm's book also and reread it not long ago as we have discussed previously.

Eventually I will start a topic on biblical heurmeneutics here or on another forum unless someone else does. Right now am pretty busy getting unpacked and settled in here for six months. As it drips, drips, drips daily I miss the Arizona sunshine already. But good to be home.

God Bless you and your family, smile

Porter.

If one bangs his head against the wall long enough - one gets - a head ache.

That thread looks like a massive head ache.

Some people can simply not do discussion - because if their belief system is shaken (which is their god) - they feel as if they have failed in faith… and so they turn to the last resort of insults and slander. Let God deal with them. If your own charity can endure that - all the good. Mine - has limits. I will only press a discussion if I sense the person I am dealing with has about him/her some aroma of their own cooperation with God. If I sense that God is working in him… as I sensed with you. If that is not there - God allows me no insights and if I continue to try - my posts are empty of any value. So apparently God does not want my head to ache either smile

Dear ray,

I hear you loud and clear...!

... and I appreciate that the Lord is working on both of us as we converse with one another. I may leave that topic too... 'cause me head is a-hurtin'. grace and peace, wg
