Hbr 7:15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest
This is really sad.. my friend.. This is talking about Christ. a PRIEST..not priests.. Hebrews is about Christ
The OT priesthood was a TYPE of Christ ..offering a sacrifice for sin.. The priesthood type was fulfilled at the cross ... God put an exclamation mark on the destruction of the type when he destroyed the jewish priesthood in 70 ad
God clearly outlines the roles in the new church in the NT and there is no priesthood
I think this post is a violation of the rules.. but let me respond anyway..
There is no such thing as an annulment in scripture,.. the entire procedure is like most Catholic doctrine made up out of whole cloth
God has never given the church permission to break His word.. he says "What God has joined together let no man put asunder " So to get around the appearance that the church actually follows the word of God it develops annulments.. that for a price will give you a Catholic wink and nod at your divorce
God will not be mocked ...lots of folks will find that out at some point
1 COR 13:2
I probably should not hold my breath wating for you to post; Exodus 20:16 Deuteronomy 5:20 to GailA and metmom.
I also noticed that you left out Matthew 3:7, Matthew 23:33, and Luke 3:7. You know what is really funny is the way you quasi christians like to sling the verse without writing them out, making me actually turn on my digital Bbile and go and read it, well two can play that game.
BTW ever hear of something called Tough Love?
Well, you don’t know the people I’ve spoken to, do you?
The priesthood was established by Christ at the Last Supper when He commanded the apostles to "Do this in Commemoration of Me." Yet your scriptural challenged interpretation can't fathom the words of out Savior. In the end maybe your group lacks competence and must remain in this perpetual state of blissful ignorance but continue to pray to the Spirit for wisdom. God bless.
A more callous group of people claiming to be followers of Christ exists. Theres nothing more condescending and judgmental than a Catholic who thinks theyve arrived. The whole religion fosters a superior to thou attitude.
Yes, and they don't see it.
I do hope that you are following the Lord and his Word via a local church.
FWIW, I won't answer most of the responses in this thread - they are essentially knee-jerk responses and there's little interest on their part for genuine discussion or dialogue. If any of them wish to have a dialogue they can use FReepMail.
The bitter/sweet water is from James 3. It's about the tongue. Take a look.
Doesn't say much for a "universal" religion that it can't appeal to simple people who weren't born into it.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Yes, I am.
In light of your first comment to Rnmom, she’s not the one looking foolish.
The kind of language you’re using, on the Religion Forum no less, shows who’s the adult in that conversation.

Are you saying that if you are not Catholic, you are not saved? That seems to be what you are saying.
First of all, I don’t need lessons on FReeping from the likes of you. Who I ping or don’t ping, and why, is my business, not yours.
Second, as with all carnal people, you can’t see anything but your favorite issue...that of being a victim flack. Abuse was never the point of my post.
“Abuse” in this case is a red herring, as leaving a bad marriage is nothing new to Catholicism. Any Christian worthy of the name, Catholic or otherwise, knows marrying another while the original spouse lives constitutes adultery.
THAT is the crux of the matter, AND what was “volunteered.” To try to make anything else the focus of attention is prima facie evidence of duplicity...and I don’t worry about “etiquette” when referring to those who are double-dealing.
I said nothing thatr could be considered Potty mouth
Most of the Catholics attitudes and behavior on this forum is the reason I’d never go back if all else were equal.
A more callous, judgmental group of people I’ve never met, and being raised Catholic I DO know what I’m talking about.
