[Lord_Calvinus]

***Therefore, Lord Calvinus may boldly enter the Holiest to offer up his own sacrifices,

Claud, on the other hand, with fear and trembling allows the Holiest to boldly enter him.***

To each his own. I suppose that if you don’t think you are a priest, then you have no right to be in the temple of God and we both know that those who profane the Holiest were killed by God.

And, even though it is a fearful thing to be in the hands of a living God, we are still encouraged to boldness....

Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Like I said, you Catholics will have an eternity to play catchup.

[Claud]

As I said, everytime I go to Mass I unite myself in His Once-for-All Priesthood and His Eternal Sacrifice--if I went every Sunday to a place where we just sang hymns and heard lectures on Scripture for an hour I doubt if I would be as secure in my priestly vocation.

But oooohhhhh how rich is that quote you posted!!!

Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

What a marvelous verse....so pregnant with liturgical meaning!
