You're welcome.

So you've bought an Old Testament? Oh, that's the first scripture you've quoted so far, now it didn't hurt a bit did it?
I'm still good for a New Testament, or one with both if you want.
Let me know.

I don't think he really minds priests who "love or have a strong affinity for"...um... feet?
Is there a foot fetish problem going around the priesthood?
Oh No! When did this start? I thought the worst was behind in the past, sorry, now there's pediphiles?
What won't they do next? tish, tish, tish.

Now my problem is remembering which one I wrote a particular note in.
Often I have a KJV with me so that I'm reading the same version as the pastor, but I often like to bring a NAB to point out translational errors "inconsistencies" to Jen. Sometimes it's whatever translation is in the car or handy when we walk out the door.
Okay, I'm curious. Could you start with two, please?
Not quite. "Wisdom of Solomon" is one of those Apocryphal books (which means, from what I can recall, it contains something clearly in error when compared to the rest of the canon).
Packed with features, it includes commentaries, dictionaries, maps, devotions, 23 English bible translations, as well as Greek, Hebrew, and many other languages. Download as much or as little of it as you want.
The only possible "problem" is that the author hasn't yet succeeded in getting through the licensing issues for many of the more-popular translations. Nevertheless, I can only sing praises. It's GREAT!

Cut him some slack. He saw "Solomon" and thought "I know that name!" Can a guy be expected to memorize the name of every book NOT in his Bible? :-)
Hey, I thought I did.
;-D
Not quite true. But, I'm sure nothing I'm going to say will assuage your adulations. I would note that the propaganda is always better than the facts. And I wasn't picking at you, I was picking at the verse you chose or do you not see the difference.
As far as what fundamentalism has done, Fundamentalist Christians spend huge budgets on feeding the poor, building homes, infrastructure and churches in poor countries and providing schools and supplies for them - even teachers. They feed bodies and souls alike. Where have you been all your life. Or are you yet another who reads only the authorized church propaganda?
I'm glad you can name Bible passages. I just wonder why you choose to accept for authority things which are not scripture and which are at odds with scripture? You certainly quote from them. Wait, I keep forgetting I'm Christian and you're Catholic. If we were of the same religion perhaps I should expect you to know better. Carry on.
Matthew 27:52-53 "...the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the SAINTS who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many."
Nah, I wish sometimes LOL. I'm in Kokomo, Indiana - the town appropriately dubbed both "city of firsts" and "little detroit". The World Headquarters for Delco division of Delphi is housed here along with multiple Delphi and Chrysler facilities (including Benze). We are due to get a steel works before too long and possibly a Ford plant; but, that one I think is still in the rumor stage - has been for several years.
As far as your eldest is concerned, I'm just the opposite. I have a tag on my back and on my forhead that says either "abuse me" or "dancers, this way". Seems everytime I meet someone I think is nice in public; before major conversation can start, I find out she's a dancer. Ok, maybe 20% of the time. LOL. It gets old. And I have no use for that. I'm beginning to wonder if women come in emotionally stable, low baggage, undivorced with no kids brand anymore. Near as I can tell the most important thing to young women is to run off into what they think is fun at the earliest possible moment, destroy their lives then spend the rest of their days baiting the best sucker they can find to come and pay for their mistakes. I'm a little cynical in that court if you can imagine it LOL.
Actually, The Jews had domain over the oracles of God. So you might try playing that spiel elsewhere. The additions to the OT cannon happened after Christ. This is like putting a stripe job on a car after it's been sent to the car crusher. Never mind who did it (no authority). Then there is the track record of the people involved. So, yes, we do pick and choose what books to listen to because we have brains enough to be responsible and not be sold a bill of goods.. and enough to follow what the Apostles taught us in that regard. That should not be surprising to see but rather welcome. I guess it has something to do with the fact that by and large, Christians are much more aware of what's in their Bibles than Catholics are because Christians read them. I've read 2Macabees. It is of no use. I prefer scripture to fiction. And the worth of praying to the dead is dealt with in the Jewish Cannon long before Macabees came along. The odd thing is that the jews know this and Catholics are rather clueless about it. Could it be because the catholics didn't bother reading the OT before trying to ammend it though they had no authority to so do? That would be my guess. Ecclesiastes 9 says all that needs to be said; but, the entire ot is filled with bans on communication with the dead in all it's forms from spiritism to necromancy. Would kinda help to know these things before deciding to do something that runs both against scripture and God - wouldn't it. That is if you are truly intending to follow Christ instead of just be a member of a big club and play at religion. You might consider these things.
Did someone say God was powerless to do it? Or, is the contention that there is no Scripture to support any belief that He did it?
