A Deacon and a Priest don’t have the same power.
A Deacon can’t celebrate the Mass.
A Priest can.
A Deacon can’t confect the Eucharist.
A Priest can.
A Deacon can’t hear Confessions or give absolution.
A Priest can.
A Deacon can’t preside at a wedding.
A Priest can.
A Deacon can’t give a person Last Rites.
A Priest can.
These are a few of the differences.
So then, there are benefits to being a Priest; and if you want those benefits you are forbidden to marry.
Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your heart. (Hebrews 3:7-8, Hebrews 3:15, Hebrews 4:7)
No, they are distinct Persons.
This simply doesn't fit YOUR perverse definition . . .
God is distinctly three Persons (and one).
This is my definition....and it is the true Trinity.
Call it perverse if you want.
You will be held accountable to God on the day of judgment for your judgment of the true definition of who He is as being perverse by your standards.
Calling God perverse....I wonder what the punishment for that will be?
btw, my understanding of the Trinity is more clearly defined in this thread:
True Trinity.
And you are completely dishonest because I already educated you about the history of 1 Tim. 4:1-2, and it has to do with the Gnostic Heretics – NOT the Church. They forbade marriage, forbade eating certain foods and rejected ALL material as evil.
So, you keep regurgitating your lie and I’ll keep exposing you for it . . .
1 Timothy 4:1-3 does indeed fit what happened later in church history with Catholic Priests being forbidden to marry.
That it also applied to the gnostics does not make it apply to the Catholic perversion any less.
If what I am saying is a lie, the way to expose it would be to proclaim the truth regarding it...but what you are proclaiming is not the truth; for you are saying that this passage applies only to certain within gnosticism when the shoe fits the Catholic practice of forbidding priests to marry also.
Repent of adhering to the Catholic Church therefore; for this is indeed an indictment upon it that is irrefutable to anyone with open eyes and an unbiased pov.
No.
It's with YOU and others like you here who choose to lie instead of being honest . . .
You have three fingers pointing back at you (see Matthew 7:1-6; Luke 6:41-42).
