A notoriously 'gay-friendly' parish in San Francisco has invited an openly homosexual Episcopalian cleric to lead an Advent Vespers service.
Most Holy Redeemer parish asked Bishop Otis Charles, a retired Episcopalian prelate, to lead the November 30 service. After serving as the Bishop of Utah from 1971 to 1993, he publicly announced that he is homosexual. Divorced from the mother of his 5 children, he solemnized a same-sex union in 2004.
There aren’t many real nuns left, so a lot of these people are living in the past.
I gather it never stops!
New Living Translation (NLT)
4These two prophets are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of all the earth. 5
If anyone tries to harm them, fire flashes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. This is how anyone who tries to harm them must die. 6
They have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall for as long as they prophesy. And they have the power to turn the rivers and oceans into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.
7 When they complete their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the bottomless pit[a] will declare war against them, and he will conquer them and kill them. 8 And their bodies will lie in the main street of Jerusalem,[b] the city that is figuratively called “Sodom” and “Egypt,” the city where their Lord was crucified. 9 And for three and a half days, all peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will stare at their bodies. No one will be allowed to bury them. 10 All the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents to each other to celebrate the death of the
11 But after three and a half days, God breathed life into them, and they stood up! Terror struck all who were staring at them. 12 Then a loud voice from heaven called to the
two prophets,
“Come up here!” And they rose to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched.
Let he who has no sin cast the first stone.

I gather y'all swallow any swill that spews from the Vatican Ashteroth-Mary-Goddess cult's magicsterical!

The post to which I refer contains a perfect example of exactly what the great infallible interpreters of Scripture said was something they ceased to rely on when they were very young, comics and graphics. But, naturally, the words "fact" and "truth" are subject to redefinition the same way every word in the Bible is subject to redefinition by those who each and every one have their own personal interpretation of Scriptures..
So, where is the snark to this poster of comics and graphics from the wise folks who each have their own personal interpretation of Scripture? Is it that something ten or more comments old is considered to be tradition and therefore to be ignored? Or, is it that those who interpret Scriptures for themselves can always be relied on to say whatever is convenient whenever it's convenient? You know, like when it gets convenient to ordain queers and so many of the infallible interpreters of Scripture rush to be the first on their block to have their own queer pastor or lesbian minister and to prove with their own infallible interpretation of Scriptue that there is nothing at all wrong with being a queer or any other sort of sexual pervert.
This has already been quoted on at least twice on this thread:
John 20:30 “Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book.”
If John left out many signs of Jesus, John certainly could have left out signs of the Apostles or Mary.
I was being gentle.
Considering the offensiveness you posted to
GOD’S WORD.
Y’all are thoroughly ignorant
of God’s character
and God’s priorities
to presume that He would tolerate, much less support
the Vatican’s Ashteroth-Mary-Goddess caricature as any portion of true Christian theology
WHATSOEVER.
No, you were giving yourself ego pats like you do most of the time. That seems to be a big part of the joy those who interpret Scripture to suit their own intellect get out of going down the road of their own intellect rather than surrendering to Christ, taking up their cross, and following Christ.
have a wonderful day
My friend..was Jerome a Heretic? He did not believe that the apocrypha was inspired text, he did not place it with the inspired texts of the Jewish OT ..nor did the Jews.. Those books were not added to the OT text until Trent
Christ did indeed build His church.. but that church in the NT was not the Roman Catholic church.. that church was built on the cornerstone of Christ and His work..
Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];
1Pe 2:4 ¶ To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious,
1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1Pe 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
1Pe 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
1Pe 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed
Go back to the Church of Satan where you belong.
Your spiritual pride shows that you don’t serve God.

mas cerveza por favor had said the spirit led church believed that tradition..and so I asked if the "Catholic encyclopedia" was not a part of the 'spirit led church '
Eph 4:14 That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
BTW, it reads like whatever pretend sweetness there may have been has drained out--evidently y'all's Ashteroth-Mary-Goddess fixes are wearing off. Maybe it's time for another marble toe kiss.
Exodus 20:4-6 4 "You shall NOT make for yourself
a carved image,
or any likeness
of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
