No, it doesn’t mean Father the way that the pagan catholics mean it, not “great one.”
There is no Biblical office of priest, only the pagan office of priest of Mithra/Tammuz.
oh brother.....pathetic
your last name in your tag line describes your post perfectly
“No, it doesn’t mean Father the way that the pagan catholics mean it, not “great one.””
Your comment is bizarre and nonsensical. 1) “Dad” means “father”. Period. That’s what it means. When a Catholic, or an Eastern Orthodox, or an Anglican refers to their ministers as “Father” it means “father” not “great one”.
“There is no Biblical office of priest, only the pagan office of priest of Mithra/Tammuz.”
No. There is, of course, a New Testament office of priest. The very word “priest” is from the Greek word “presbuteros” which mean “elder” and appears in every Greek NT manuscript.
To say that the office of priest is from Mithra/Tammuz is ridiculous for several reasons. 1) The fact of what I just mentioned about presbuteros. 2) Mithra and Tammuz are different ancient gods. They are from different time periods, were worshipped by different people and are not even words from the same languages. 3) if you’re basing this on some sort of stupid Hislopian theory, should know that even his former adherents realize he was actually an idiot and often got even basic things wrong. Here’s an example: http://www.ralphwoodrow.org/books/pages/babylon-mystery.html

ever see a statue of Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Mt. Rushmore.....all built by Christians.
you don't have a Father and a Mother???
Are those religious shrines?
That is just the stupidest thing I have heard in 5 minutes
what a brilliant post...surely you must be proud to have achieved such an intellectual level.......or maybe....
oh good grief...very few people in the history of the world have enough faith to believe the diatribe that you spout.
All of Yeshua’s elect believe it because he said it.
that wasn't the question...it was who builds shrines to mortal humans...I say that Christians and many others do...that is to honor those people and the shrines are perfectly logical....even if religious figures are involved.
Saved by the cookie!
What a club.
lots of people misinterpret what He said and What He meant by it....Take and eat of this...THIS IS MY BODY...is often misinterpreted to mean this is a hunk of bread which represents my body...see how easy it is to not be a Catholic???
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
No member of Yeshua’s elect has ever made a shrine to any creature to worship.
Catholics are humanists, so they worship creatures.
>> “.Take and eat of this...THIS IS MY BODY.” <<
.
Whose body was holding that loaf when he said that?
Catholics have zero understanding of spiritual things.
The bread is the symbol of his body which was broken for our healing.
Its the ancient blessing of the Melek Zedek that has led to healing for almost 4000 years.
Catholic ignorance is invincible!
I could point you to the sites that say Jesus was a woman. Or that Jesus never existed. But why bother. Now the site that says Jesus was really a pterodactyl. That's some pretty solid evidence.
