We fulfilled the blessings given the Jews, but we do not "mimic" the ancient Judaism. Theirs was a legalistic religion that did not know its own purpose. Our King gave us our Kingdom that won't fail.

look is your Cross, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is still on it.

Of course. Our role in this life is to imitate Christ in His life on earth, and that culminated on the Cross. I agree though that the modern Latin Church could use more imagery Christ Pantocrator in His glory. This used to be the dome of every cathedral:



Monreale, Sicily

Do not forget that the Catholic Christian receives the Living Christ every time he comes to Mass. We don;t just rely on symbols to know Him.

Born Again Christians can you elaborate how they are Judaizers

Didn't I say something like Judaizers being among the Evengelicals, as opposed to all evengelicals being Judaizers? I was referring to the segment of Evangelicalism that worships on Saturday.

Pity. Bible-believing Christians are indwelled by Christ 24/7. As Paul reminds us, Christ has mercifully made His home in us and we in Him.

"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." -- Galatians 2:20

Maybe someday it will be clearer to you.

Lets see if we can cover just some of the high points.

The Temple had a group of clerics who determined whether interpretation was correct or not. Roman Catholicism has a magisterium.

The Temple had an elevated priesthood making sacrifices. Roman Catholicism elevates it's priests and they claim to offer sacrifices.

The Temple had priests that could go into the Holy of Holies. Roman Catholicism claims it's priests can act as conduits to God for forgiveness of sins.

Judaism required adherence to certain feast days and Jews were required to go to the Temple to offer sacrifices. Roman Catholicism requires RCs to go to their services and follow their rituals.

THAT sure sounds like the VATICAN EDIFICE and sub-fossilizations, alright! To the max!
