Thanks, annalex. We who are HTMListically challenged appreciate the help.

My guess is the answer will be in reference to HEbrews and say that you would be certainly in the clear up until the sacrifice of Christ and possibly in the clear (though missing something) if you were a devout modern Jew and there were still a temple.

No, it was his function as discribed completely in the OT. He, the purified priest, would once a year go into the holy of holies to bring the prayers of the people, and their sacrifices, to God.

There is much truth in your post, especially this:

It's debate by attrition. It's not about what the Faith is, it's about wearing down the opposition by fighting over the same ground again and again.

[irishtenor]

To her, it appeared that you had. That is not a lie, however misinformed it may be. It is a misunderstanding. Nothing more. For the record, I did not think you did.

[Petronski]

See, if it was an innocent mistake, why not apologize? Everyone apologizes for innocent mistakes.

No one should underestimate her intelligence SO MUCH as to say “she thought ‘chick’ meant ‘Jack Chick.’” It doesn’t make any sense grammatically, let alone the capitalization. That’s just not a mistake someone makes.

Would you be so kind as to demonstrate your assertations? I am curious where she did that.

I believe he's referring to this post.

Ok, what’s a Nestorian?

Young female. I thought it was a JOKE (not a very funny one) when someone claimed he referenced Voldemort.

Followers of Nestorius. He was patriarch of Constantinople and was condemned as a heretic for maintaining that the divine and human natures were not merged into one in Christ, therefore believing that it was improper to call Mary the mother of God.

Wikipedia (hahahaha) has a nice article on Nestorianism

Much debate in the early Church centered on the question of exactly who and what Jesus was and is. God? Man? Both? Eternal? Created? Less than the Father? Equal to the Father? etc. One thread of belief was that Jesus was in fact two persons: a Divine Person and a human person, somehow inhabiting the same body. The Nestorians were scandalized by the thought that God could "die". The Church replied that no, Jesus is in fact One Person, eternally equal to the Father and having the Divine Nature, and who in time took on human nature. Thus, God did in fact die, and His sacrifice is perfect.

I’m gonna blame a good typso on a sore finger...course that was last week but it is too good of an excuse to waste.

The fingertip that I lost on the mandoline has grown back but it is abby-normal...

It’s a genus of birds. They build these structures in trees and then lay eggs in them.

[Mad Dawg]

Isn’t that like a mortal sin?

[ArrogantBustard]

The Nestorian Church of the East has a website ... and they go on at length to describe themselves. If they're actually nestorian (in the sense of believing the "two persons" heresy), they do a good job of hiding it.

[Judith Anne]

I am unrepentant. ;-D

[ArrogantBustard]

Let me guess ... they use those structures to raise their CHICKS?
