Two more. Young Earth Creationism and Geocentrism.

Consistently taught, never revoked (unless you count CCC from 1992 as binding, I shun it).

Could you distinguish these teachings as truth claims not related to faith and morals?

@famemolto I don't really think so.

Let's say that Jesus came in the Sixth Millennium. Let's say that to God one day is like a Thousand Years.

That means, that if Adam who sinned was created on the Sixth Day from a human perspective, he was redeemed on the Sixth Day from God's perspective. For an eternity of joy (for those who profit from redemption), God allowed Satan only "six days" of wreaking havoc on mankind, and now "two days" more to the Return of Christ. (Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday are creation days of the New Creation).

If Adam lived 40 000 or 90 000 years ago, this breaks down. The promise of Redemption in Genesis 3:15 would have had ample time to be forgotten, and for those not forgetting it, to be reasonably doubted. Genesis 3:15 would not be history, and unlike Genesis 1, there is no tradition that Moses got chapter 3 as prophecy, as a vision.

With Heliocentrism, you have Joshua adressing the wrong astronomic entity as to what should change behaviour, in 10:12, and through parallax and stellar statistics building on that and some further methods building on those, you get stars to be 100 000 or millions or billions light years away, which argues in favour of Deep Time, whereas Geocentrism doesn't argue for the phenomenon named "parallax" to be parallactic and dispenses with Deep Time.

Furthermore, with Geocentrism and a "small" universe (perhaps just one light day in radius up to the stars) you have Heaven right above the fix stars exactly as with St. Thomas and Dante, and you have Jesus' physically present up there. And with Geocentrism, you need something or someone to move the fix stars and all of the bodies below them from East to West each day, which is a proof of God.

With Heliocentrism you have a spread of Atheism as well as "Christians" misconstruing Heaven as immaterial or "another dimension" ...

2:55 Once upon a time, I inherited a shared heritage with sister after 10 years in the bank.

I decided that, neither I nor she should be damned for taking usury so I made sure to pay someone else that amount to give to the poor.

3:19 If a thing is used up in the use, consumed, or as per money, quasi-consumed, an equal amount of an equal quality is the due repayment.

If a thing is kept intact in the use, like a boat*, you can charge rent over and above the restoration of the object.

6:10 I would dispute that the "second answer is probably right" ...

9:58 "we will receive glorified bodies"

We will be reunited to our bodies that become glorified ... or not, depending on our Eternal Status ... let's not forget the glorified body is "numerically the same" just "qualitatively different"

* Or that other thing you can be a cybernetes of, a computer with internet connexion.

If you click to enlarge above, you'll find why getting a wife really past the prime of her fertility is not just not my preference, but also not my best moral option. Yes, it says "3: The Primary Purpose of Marriage".
