The Neverending Story
An ongoing debate on Scripture, Tradition, History and Interpretation.
Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue. - John Adams |

He said I only have one leg.
Then he knocked on it to quell my "Yehhh Right" look. Lol
He still had to wash both of mine though. Ha ha lol...I'll go ya one better. One of our minister actually has two fake legs, NO feet. My wife and I were wondering all week about what would happen with that. Turns out he just does washing and isn't washee.
But the great thing is that God put dual meaning in the ceremony...it's enough to do the service of washing someone else's feet.:-)

Great indeed is Our trust in Mary. The resplendent glory of her merits, far exceeding all the choirs of angels,
Hummmm, NC's angels never sing, but Catholics angels do, because they have their own choirs.
Not believing the Bible has it's rewards huh?
PS, there is not one scripture in the Bible that says the angels can sing, I guess it's a human trait only.

Speaking of Passover, I put together a great little kosher-for-Passover dinner tonight. Take a large square of matza, spread on some pizza sauce, and then liberally top with shredded mozzarella. A minute or two in the toaster oven to melt the cheese, and you have something pretty close to thin-crust pizza!

I didn't say that Luther was a rabbinical scholar, only that he limited Christianity to what he could find in the Bible. That is what he had left after he repudiated pope, council and bishops. To him, as to the Jew and Muslims, Christianity became a religion of the Book.

Sheesh, why do they have to talk about her breasts all the time. :-) I've seen worse Marian imagery. Last year someone posted something about Mary being the channel of all graces, pouring grace into the world in the same way she gave birth to Jesus. I'm not saying anything further!

To him, as to the Jew and Muslims, Christianity became a religion of the Book. This is a vast oversimplification and as it happens, is untrue. I'm not going to defend Luther; but, this is untrue. And there is more to be said on this than meets the eye. Judaism - our roots - was and is a religion of the book as you like to say - to the extent that everything that God handed them was written down. It was done so that the message could be checked against what they new to be authentic. If it didn't line up, it didn't come from God. In effect you're bucking against what has always been as though it were something new. You are doing so in attempt to excuse the vast problems your sect has caused itself and others through philosophy and reason which is not your perrogative. In effect, you are being dishonest. Christianity is not a religion of a book - it is a religion of a message that happens to be contained in a book just as in OT times. And just as in OT times, if your message deviates from those who recorded the original, it lets us know you're a liar. Plain and simple. And without that measure, we'd have no sure rule to tell a prophet from a demon as we grow. It is our nature to question and be in doubt of ourselves. Scripture grounds us and assures us. And it lets liars betray themselves with thier own tongues.

Hey to you too. I understand what you are saying but do you have to call them liars? I feel that these guys believe what they are posting. It's not easy to examine your beliefs and question what you have been taught all your life.
