Faith is integral to human understanding, influencing science and religion by shaping how we interpret reality, from trusting historical records and scientific principles to exploring spiritual beliefs. This article will cover the reasoning for faith in the supernatural.
The true purpose of religion is not ethics but reconciliation — healing the severed relationship between Creator and creature. Only one religion offers God's descent to man rather than man's attempt to ascend to God.
Catholicism is not just one denomination among many, nor is it merely a system of tradition and ritual. It is the original Church founded by Jesus Christ, safeguarded for two thousand years, and offered to the world as the one true path to union with God.
The Septuagint is the pre-Christian Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament, used by the Apostles and the foundation of the Catholic biblical canon.
The Septuagint (often abbreviated as LXX) is the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament, begun in Alexandria, Egypt, in the third century BC. It was the Bible of the Greek-speaking Jewish diaspora and became the primary Bible used by the early Christian Church (CCC 120).
The vast majority of Old Testament quotes found in the New Testament are taken directly from the Septuagint rather than the Hebrew text. Crucially, the Septuagint included the deuterocanonical books (such as Tobit, Maccabees, and Wisdom). Because the Apostles and the early Church relied on the Septuagint, the Catholic Church retained these books in her official biblical canon, whereas the Protestant reformers later rejected them in favor of the shorter Hebrew canon (CCC 120).
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
