Hey, we found something we agree on. Good for us!
But all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Babies are innocent of the knowledge of sin so they pass!
I don't know that babies are innocent, though the sins of children are incidental, or carried upon their parents, until the age of reckoning.
Amen!
We use pita bread! Never had a snake in church yet because if there was, I wouldn’t be there! LOL.
Soory I missed your reply here. Dave, I don't know what you're talking about. It is what the passage says. Period. Was it not you that was trying to explain the passage with gasoline as necessary but not sufficient? I confess, I'm confused by your answer.
I read prayers to Mary every week in local newspapers, but never to Jesus. Hmmm.
Many years ago we had a priest in town who was a big gambler. Lots of gambling in the rectory...tch, tch.
It does for born again protestants (and Catholics, too).
My opinion on thousands of protestant (and other) churches is that God didn’t want ONE edifice spewing heresy and thinking they were the one true church and, like the
Tower of Babel, he dispersed them into other denominations. My opinion, only, of course.
also two Mary statues to the left...
Of course Mad Dawg is right here. I should have been a little more careful with “perpetuated through time”, as if the one sacrifice were a continuing event. It is not perpetuated “in time” but “in eternity.” At the Mass we enter into eternity and the sacrifice at Cavalry 2000 years ago is made present to us here and now. We err if we think of eternity as a unending series of discreet moments. For God all of time is but a single moment. In answering yes, I was looking more at the idea that the Mass “is not a different sacrifice from that of Calvary, but the same sacrifice.”
Anyone who disagrees with Roman Catholicism is a fraud, right???
Pot, will you please stop calling the kettle black (LOL)?
I’ve never chased a woman in my whole life....
The saints here meaning the believers on earth...
Saints in Lydda were believers, but you know that.
I don’t know anyone who identifies himself as a Bible Christian. A born again Christian perhaps...
You know better than that Mad Dawg. We know where our authority comes from.
The saints spoken of here are the believers, whom God calls his saints. It’s our prayers He’s talking about here.
