From the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles

This prayer is from the “Teaching of the Twelve Apostles”, otherwise known as the Didache. The Didache is a second century document written in Jerusalem (ca 140 AD) and contains a summary of the catechesis of the Twelve Apostles. It was used in the early Church for the instruction of the catechumens and was highly valued as a source of instruction and inspiration in the early Church. Today it gives us important insight into the teachings and practices of the early Church:

WE thank Thee, Holy Father, for Thy holy Name which Thou hast made to dwell in our hearts, and for the knowledge, faith, and immortality which Thou hast made known to us through Jesus Thy Son; glory to Thee forever.

Thou, O Lord Almighty, hast created all things for the sake of Thy Name, and hast given food and drink to all for their enjoyment, so that they might return thanks to Thee. Upon us, however, Thou hast bestowed spiritual food and drink and eternal life through Thy Son.

Above all, we give Thee thanks, for Thou art almighty; glory unto Thee forever.

Remember, O Lord, Thy Church. Deliver it from all evil and perfect in Thy love. Gather it from the four winds, sanctified in Thy kingdom which Thou hast prepared for it, for Thine is the power and the glory forever.

Let grace come and this world pass away. Hosanna to the Son of David. If anyone is holy, let him come. If not, let him repent. Maranatha! Amen.

For the Greater Glory of God

I'll bet GOD really respects all those THEEs and THOUs peppered through those prayers.

Nothings says RESPECT like THEEs and THOUs!

Yeah, that Didache is just chock full of good stuff.

<4> Let every apostle that cometh to you be received as the Lord.(19) <5> But he shall not remain except one day; but if there be need, also the next; but if he remain three days, he is a false prophet.

Guess Paul didn't adhere to this.

And he stayed two full years in his own rented quarters and was welcoming all who came to him...Acts 28:30

I guess ol' John the Baptist did things wrong also. Missed all that about fasting before being baptized. I guess the Jordan was "living water" and maybe not cold or hot!

<2> But if thou have not living water, baptize into other water; and if thou canst not in cold, in warm. <3> But if thou have not either, pour out water thrice(19) upon the head into the name of Father and Son and Holy Spirit. <4> But before the baptism let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whatever others can; but thou shalt order the baptized to fast one or two days before.(20)

I will give them this though....no mention of Mary being immaculate or assumed!

Look. Apparently you have forgotten the original posting you made, and the question I asked you about it. Let's revisit it again...

"Nice dodge. What is your scriptural proof that Christ is continually being sacrificed. That was your assertion and that was the proof that I requested of you.

Why are you evading the question? What is the scriptural proof for Christ's continuing sacrifice?

Let me give you a hint: there is none. The only "proof" is a bunch of pap made up by the Roman Catholic Cult and sold as "Holy Tradition."

"Holy Tradition" == False Gospel.

Here's some scriptural proof that refutes what you're trying to sell: Luke 24:4-7: "While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”"

Hmmm. Doesn't sound like he's still on the cross. Let's see... Even Christ HIMSELF refutes your assertion: John19:20 "When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."

What was finished, I wonder? The once and final sacrifice for our sins? Did you catch that? FINISHED..

Let's see if there's anything else... Mark 16:19 "So then the Lord Jesus, gafter he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God."

Aaaaand.... Luke 22:69 "69 But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”"

Hmmmm. Oddly, Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father.... in direct opposition to your claim!

But wait -- we have a witness to the fact! Acts 7: 55-56 "But he [Stephan], full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

So...again, I ask, what is your scriptural PROOF that Christ is being continually crucified/sacrificed??

So, now that we're back on the same page...

What is your scriptural PROOF that Christ is being continually crucified/sacrificed??

Your last posting to me had nothing to do with the question. Can you answer this? If there is scriptural proof, I assume you can provide it. Why won't you answer this question?
