When they are sufficiently strange, they are easier to remember. Most of remember Congressman Waxman from California, if not for his liberal / fascist beliefs, then for his overactive and cavernous nostrils.

Really depends upon your definition of “add”.
Jesus said that those who worship God must do so with with “spirit and truth” (John 4:23,24), that it was necessary to to take in accurate or deep knowledge to gain life. (John 17:3), Paul said that those who approach God must believe that He is and becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking Him.
The Pharisees had the Scriptures and read them diligently but lacking God's spirit they couldn't understand them.
They didn't become the “men of God”.
So where is the “adding” in the above?

I'm not sure what you're asking. There IS NO adding as the Word of God doesn't need anything added to it. It is complete. As far as the Pharisees, they indeed lacked the Holy Spirit and therefore could not possibly understand the Scriptures.
"But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God'. (1 Cor. 2:10).

I base nothing on Dismas being the certifiable name of the Good Thief.
That Jesus does not answer the petition directly is not atypical. In today’s readings, for example, someone tells Jesus that he intends to follow Him, to whcih Jesus replies “birds have nests...”
I see Jesus’s statement to the Thief perfectly fulfilling the task, to assure him of supernatural happiness that awaits the elect upon death.

Would you happen to have a good source that I could link to? Mark, the subject was Christ's perfect obeidnece in his human nature to his divine nature. I am not sure what is there not to understand. The only way for a man not to sin is to be in perfrect obedience to God's law. Therefore, he did't do what his human nature tempted him to do but what his divine nature demaneded. This way his human character becomes transparent, invisible, and all we see is him acting out his divine will. When does he act out his human will contrary to his divine will?
I've read from a number of sources and still don't quite get it. Not saying that it is not so, definitely not, but I don't quite get it
The Church defined orthodox Chrisitlogy at the Council of Chalcedon (5th century). One Person, tewo natures, two wills, one divine and another one human. Chirst is in perfect harmony with his natures, which are unconfused but inseparable (hypostatic union).
No one can say they "understand" it.

Nothing I said and nothing I believe contradicts anything in the Bible. I am, after all, Catholic. If Catholicism surprises you that must be because you spend too much time running away the the scripture rather than toward it, with your “dividing”.

You don’t think it is consistent with Christianity being fulfillment of the Hebrew Law, and the graft on the stock of Israel? I am frankly surprised anyone considers it even a bit controversial.

Translators often make note of the difference by using all caps for one to show the difference in Hebrew, “The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool>” AV
“Losing” the tetragrammaton was one way of “Christianizing” the Old Testament”
Given the importance of “The Name” in the Hebrew Scriptures, leaving it out makes “Hallowed by thy name” rather ambiguous at best.

Kosta, one of the things that we learn is that Jesus' human and divine will are in harmony. If the human nature is in subservience to the divine will, how is that harmony? How is that perfectly human and perfectly divine? As I said, I don't quite understand it. The Church has proclaimed, and therefore it is, but I don't quite get it. And that bugs me, the engineer. I like to get it...

Okay...

Christianity was not the fulfillment of the Hebrew Law. Jesus Christ is the fulfillmant of the Law.
we are not in the Dispensation of the Law, we are in the Dispensation of the Grace of God. The Church the Body of Christ. The One New Man. We had a definite beginning and we have a definite ending.

I had originally said one needed God's spirit to understand His word. What, if any, is your objection?

No objection here. With God's Spirit the Scriptures are understandable and complete. Without God's Spirit no amount of Scripture will be enough. *Which causes men to add to them to explain doctrine, add doctrine, or deny the completeness that is in them*.
*This is the point I was trying to make. I apologize if I didn't explain it clearly.

This shows that Blessed Irenaues believed in Salvation through TRADITION as well
Irenaues was not infallible, he was a fallible man that sometimes disagreed with what the RC teaches.. See that is the problem with the catholic tradition driven religion.. it is not infallible there is no means of verification it is all faith alone..

“Read more Scripture.”
Understand more scripture.
1 Cor. 11:24, This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.
1 Cor. 11:25, “This cup is the new promise made with my blood. Every time you drink from it, do it to remember me.

Where’s the teaching in the Bible that Mary was born without sin?
Or that she remained a virgin her entire life?
Or that she was assumed and did not see death?
Or that we are to pray to her for anything?
Or that people are to be canonized as saints and prayed to?
Where are the instructions to the church in selecting Peter’s successors?
