comment Different Bibles and Religions
"Is there an original Bible?" Do you know how to read Greek? It's the translations that are all different.

comment How long, and in what cases did Catholics participate in the Black Fast?
yes @Pavel when you speak of 10th and 11th century you probably mean the Great Schism (1054). Also thanks for catching that glaring mistake. OOPS!

That answers what he's asking very nicely I think.

@TRiG I'm guessing that it's kind of more a better safe than sorry thing. You will know if you have ever just read through the whole Old Testament. If a situation arose where someone did not like the first born, and that one line in the text had been left out, that person may have just bypassed it.

@waxeagle What I'm saying is that the text does not assume dislike of the mother will commute to the son. Read it carefully and it never says "the disliked son", it's always "son of the disliked".

I don't get this. This doesn't mean that if he likes the first born son of the disliked wife better than the other "first born" son, that this law doesn't apply. I don't get whats wrong with this. It says son of the disliked, not the disliked son.

comment Is it possible to achieve a life without sin on earth?
I do not agree: Mary was not exempt from the ancestral sin. Why would she be? She did have a little extra help though, because God surrounded her by angels and kept her from having all the forces of Satan come down on her. If the devil knew that she was going to be the mother of God, he would have attacked her mercilessly.
