Got that? Catholic kneeling is just not good enough. Who knows if Catholic kneeling equals kneeling in the heart? Who knows if Carholics submit in the heart? We probably don’t understand this. /extreme dripping sarcasm
Dripping sarcasm - EXACTLY! Apparently, you DID NOT "get it". Rather than trying to wring as much hatred and criticism out of every one of our posts, why not simply cool your jets and hear what I am saying.
I did not say Catholics' kneeling isn't "good enough" and I am NOT saying Catholics' don't "kneel" with their hearts or understand what the verse in Philippians is talking about. What I am trying to express is there is a big difference in bowing the knee to recognize that Jesus Christ is LORD and the act of kneeling in church. One is an attitude and one is a position. One day EVERYONE, EVERYTHING will confess and bow in submission to Jesus whether they are in heaven, on earth or even under the earth. Like I said, it is WAY more than just talking about what one does when they pray. Plenty of people kneel who are NOT in submission to Jesus as Lord, plenty of people go to church every Sunday who have never submitted themselves to Christ. Tares and wheat, remember?
Markbsnr took off on the same tangent you seem to be on, that the act of kneeling during Mass is obeying what the verse is speaking of and he took it further by implying since he didn't ever see "Protestants" kneeling in THEIR church, they aren't confessing Jesus as Lord. My replies have been to clarify the point. Now, you may think he's right that because Catholics kneel and others don't it means Catholics are the "real" Christians and we aren't, and I probably can't do much to shake loose that impression, but I hope at least this time you get it that I'm not the one doing the comparing.
When misinterpreted Paul takes precedence over Jesus, all kinds of novelties arise.
