1Ki 7:23 ¶ And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: [it was] round all about, and his height [was] five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
1Ki 7:24 And under the brim of it round about [there were] knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops [were] cast in two rows, when it was cast.
1Ki 7:25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea [was set] above upon them, and all their hinder parts [were] inward.
1Ki 7:26 And it [was] an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
is father not a term for parent? is it not a term Christ uesed for Joeseph even knowing Joeseph was not his biological father?
come on now, get on with your rationlizing why you protest following the commandments laid out in 1 corinthians 12 and 14 rather than play silly games over something Christ clearly did...
LOL.
"But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead...Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection." -- Luke 20:35-36
The children of the resurrection don't need no stickin' rings. And the only crown is Christ.
Very interesting. I suppose you know what the oxen represented? Were they worshipped? Did Solomon put little halters on them and bells and parade them thru the streets? Did he built temples to the 12 oxen?
fact; cow statues used within the temple who's sole purpose was the worship of God.
fact; angles statues where God command incense be lit!
But actually, it's the TRULY TRUEST TRULY TRUE Christians who have the most RIGHT and brief to rant.
It's in the MAGESTERICAL TOMES volume number 1,987,684,371 page 486 paragraph 15.
In fact, there's quite a reward for the TRULY MOST TRULY TRUE TRUESTLY TRULY TRUE Christians TRULY RANTING MOST TRUESTLY.
Now where was that brochure . . . rustle rustle . . . ahhhh, yes . . . . for every 100 truest rants . . . one gets a 24 caret gold decoder ring with a big red ruby . . . for deciphering all the true Biblical secrets that otherwise only the magesterical understand.
Well women with scarves on their heads? Catholics did that in the 5o's. No more? How come? Did the Law change? Now they go to mass on Sat night wearing shorts and jeans. Did the Law change? Call no man Father-- or Holy Father, lol
when i post i post references to scripture when you post you invent reams about rings...
i think you've demonstrated perfectly how protestants hate scripture.
protestants did it through the 50s also, not sure why either of them stopped but in my church we don't just forget commandments...
Was not. the 12 oxen holding up the sea is something altogether different.
Did not, other than cultural. Women wore hats and gloves, cultural thing. Black worshippers do it now
sure they weren't WORSHIPPING the oxen they were VENERATING them. its alltogether different.
you see even protestants realize that icons are nothing like idols when you make them put it in their own words.
heck anti-Christian rants from protestants are commonplace. you could almost say that protestantism is based on angry rants and schismatics since the day Luther pinned his angry list of demands to the door.
= = =
lest some unwitting lurker misunderstand, please clarify . . .
Are we given to infer, to understand from the above that
the RC edifice--including the flawlessly correct, ALWAYS APISTOLIC, ever purely pontifical, always splendidly arrayed . . . MAGESTERICAL
NEVER
was angry in their deliberations, pronouncements, encyclicals,
their . . .
INQUISITIONS?
If that is the contention . . .
perhaps we could call forward to testify some from
--the rack
--the iron spiked body cage
--the merciless lashes
so now its okay to dispense with what st paul said were the commandments of God as long as your culture says its okay.
we'll thanks for clearing up where protestants stand on scripture.
We love scripture, and it's obvious by our celebrated understanding of it, something you with your "cow worship in the temple," can only aspire to
i do hope you find some roman catholics to debate this point with
They were not "venerating" them. Your understanding is absurd
Actually, that's debatable. RCC folks repeatedly derogates the Bible's teaching on Christian truth and practice, Christian life and The Church Universal . . .
But, hey, what can we expect . . . contrary to some popular opinions of the Magesterical . . .
they are ONLY human.
so now the cows in the temple offend you also?
no room for the word of God in protestantism? covering heads too tough for their feminist women? icons God command be in the temple too strange for protestants?
well that's okay just go play Bible buffet and pick what you like and ignore the rest of God's word...
Interesting.
