How vague is this? "THIS IS MY BODY"

How vague is this? "call no man your father upon the earth"

Or this, "There is no mediator between man and God but Christ Jesus.

It appears you made it through lent and managed to stay off the threads, huh?

Did you or your mate peek?

Good to see you back. JH :-)

call no man your father upon the earth

That one is easy. Just as when the Scriptures referred to Rome as Babylon it was not yet the center of Catholicism but still in Roman hands, when Jesus said those words to the people there were not yet any people that were called father other than their own natural fathers.

Mat 19:29 carries the same sense, I think. Give up your patrimony, forsake your earthly inheritance.

There is no mediator between man and God but Christ Jesus.

No argument from me on that one. Mary's prayers, and anyone else's, on my behalf are most welcomed however.

Lent was good. I didn't peek. My wife freeped but didn't read to me.
