The Seal of Confession and The Virtue of Religion

The Hermeneutic of Continuity ^ | 8/17/11 | Fr. Tim Finnigan

>>I will pray for you at Adoration this coming week<<

That’s one of the differences between your religion and my personal relationship with Christ. I don’t need to wait to be in some building or ritualistic setting. I simply address Him anywhere at any time because He is always listening and always with me.

OBTW if the RCC priests' names are not Levi, Levy, Levitt, Cohn, Cohen or Kohen they are charlatans or worse.

Exactly...Their magisterium somehow neglected to put that in their catechism; so how would they know???

[Iscool]

So which of the following are charlatans; Simon, who is called Peter, Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Regardless of what your catechism may say, the Apostles were not priests...

[Iscool]

your spurning of the Nicene Creed is evidence enough.

I couldn't tell you what's in the nicene creed...I couldn't care less what's in the nicene creed...I don't need any creed other the the words of God in the scriptures...

Uri'el-2012>I published this study on FreeRepublic about the "Rock" over six years ago.

I understand ,dear friend,it's all about something new founded by you that even the reformers did not know -it's all about your new age unhistorical interpretation and guessing Are you a free republic prophet now?

Shabbat Shalom

May you seek the face of YHvH
on this Shabbat in His WORD.

I simply address Him anywhere at any time

I do that too and pray consistently,but I also realize that His True Presence in the Eucharist is faith beyond my own selfish time

Christianity is self sacrifice ,not just prayer of convenience

[Uri’el-2012]

Shabbat Shalom

May you seek the face of YHvH
on this Shabbat in His WORD.

The Torah reading for this week is

Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17

I've brought you today to the crossroads of Blessing and Curse.

I see that you are twisting and turning in the wind of your own posts. I posted the entire passage of the Great Commission in Matthew 28.

And you said you copied and pasted it right from the Original Greek...

That's quite a whopper...

Oh, and BTW, Peter knew nothing about Gentiles coming into the church til Acts 10...

You abridged it and melded it to the original commission - call it practice - in Matthew 10 which might be read as one and the same. These are separate and distinct. They occurred years apart and without one of the original players - Judas. Might you be caught out in your own posts?

HaHaHa...You guys have to find your biblical truth all in one chapter...Sometimes all in one verse, or part of a verse...And that's why you come up empty handed so often...

That's not the way the Holy Spirit wrote the bible...

[stfassisi]

May you seek the face of YHvH

I see His face at Adoration completely and invite you to do the same.

All protestants are welcome at Adoration- Let me know if I can show you where to go in your area?

Christianity is Christ!!!! It's about Him dying on the cross, paying the penalty we can't pay ourselves.

It's about salvation by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone.

[CynicalBear]

>>Christianity is self sacrifice ,not just prayer of convenience<<

Is that some sort of self aggrandizing statement? Nothing I do for Christ is a sacrifice. I would consider it an honor to die for Him.

[Iscool]

You guys believe that your salvation is guaranteed by having Jesus pay the price and the limo ride will just pull up to your door. What a neat idea. It is not Christian but neat.

Well certainly it's Christian...People have been posting scripture after scripture after scripture showing you just that...

I'm not surprised that you guys don't know how that works, or why that works...

Never rode in a Limo...That's going to be fun...

[Iscool]

We are born in sin; with the Grace of God, we may gain our eternal Salvation, but we Christians throw ourselves on the mercy of Almighty God. We do not arrogantly proclaim our own salvation either on the Internet or in person.

We've already gained it...We're sealed...And that is Good News...

[Natural Law]

"I’m sorry, I cannot seem to find the Scripture that says..."

Not so fast. Show me where in Scripture where it says that 100% of the Revealed Word is contained in the Scripture and where is says that everything not in the Scripture ist verboten. Until you do I am not going to feel compelled to adhere to a 16th century heretical construct.

[stfassisi]

“”Nothing I do for Christ is a sacrifice. I would consider it an honor to die for Him.””

Death for the good of others is the ultimate sacrifice of self and love for others if it is done of love and imitation of Christ-honor is pride of self and expectation of reward

“Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

[metmom]

Jesus isn't in some piece of bread. He's in US by FAITH.

Colossians 1:27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

[Natural Law]

"If Catholics can dish it out, they ought to be able to take it."

LOL. I'm not hurt by your petulance, but I'll bet Jesus was. I was just trying to get a demonstration of whether we are dealing with a vindictive crone or a fine Christian woman. I think it was made it pretty clear which.

[stfassisi]

Christianity is Christ!!!! It's about Him dying on the cross, paying the penalty we can't pay ourselves.

Christianity is about denying OURSELVES for fellow man and being willing to join in suffering if that is His will

[boatbums]

The Gnostics knew of their own salvation. Are you professing Gnosticism now? Christianity as a whole condemned Gnosticism as heresy of the first rank.

Last week I was an Arian heretic, this week I'm a Gnostic? Ya going down a list or something??? ;o)

[boatbums]

Or walked on water and not sunk?

But, unlike Pope Peter, I would not take my eyes off Jesus. I KNOW better.
