I NEVER would call my kids STUDENTS. You just don't read right. :balloons: You don't care that the churches in EUROPE are EMPTY?? I thought the job of the church was to save souls !!

Not so fast! I was just passing by...

There have always been gay priests. Our local bishop has stated that WE HAVE ENOUGH now. If you get my drift.... They don't stress Mary all that much anymore. Ditto for saints. BUT...it's TOO LATE. The ECFs also did not speak of this. They did speak of Mary's purity in living her life...

What do I know about scripture Bread? Nothing. They're NOT STUDENTS Bread....no PhD after my name. You just are not good at listening. Or maybe you listen but you can't HEAR. I wouldn't talk about priests I don't know. You think you know everything and are sitting in the seat of Moses. But...

Oh....I think the Apostles could have found women wherever they went. Just like today. Women seem to be all over the place.

Exactly. Not EVERYTHING that Jesus taught is written down. The bible is not the Qur'an. Thankfully. Jesus picked only men to be Apostles. The Church is the bride. Brides are female.... So elders and all those that were authorized by Jesus to carry on His church must be male. There was...

What did Jesus say about women speaking in church?

I had stated that culture has a part in hermeneutics...as indeed it does.

This Pope is a disgrace and many many Catholics know this and are waiting for him to pass on. However, he has ordained so many Cardinals and Bishops that the fear is that another Francis will be coming along after him. He's in the hospital right now with severe bronchitis - it might be...

It's not easy to know exactly what Paul, or any of the writers, meant in every case. We have to take the NT as a whole, complete idea...not verse by verse. I make the claim that Paul and Jesus agreed on what they taught. I state that we can have faith in what Paul taught, and also the other...

Ditto for me. Except I'm not Messianice... I'm a Gentile and am non-denominational.

Can you tell me what this means? I NEVER SAID YOU STOLE MONEY. The only way we can possibly know what Paul meant was to study the culture of the day. I did post briefly on this. In fact, most churches do not allow women to teach/become priests, etc. To teach priests, that is. They can teach...

Most priests believe in purgatory. Some do not. There is more schism in the CC than @BreadOfLife realizes. And I refuse to post any support for my position because he's obstinate in his beliefs. The CC, just like Calvinists, killed those they believed to be heretical. Most were burned alive or...

I'll only answer to the last comment. Go figure....I taught catechism now for about 7 years off and on due to personal reasons. Go figure....they get taught what the CC teaches. I even spend 2 minutes on purgatory. Guess what...they fear purgatory more than hell. I won't bother to explain...

You sure do take everything literally Bob!

Verse 12 says that they have authority over us. And no one is perfect.

Great connection Scott ! Here's my thought on this....I've never been 100% certain, but I tend to go with physical birth and then spiritual birth - makes more sense..here's why: John 3:4-5 4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot * enter a second time into his...

1 Thessalonians 5:17 12 But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction, 13 and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another. 14 We urge you...

Oh boy. OK. Don't listen to Paul. Don't listen to anyone. Not even your pastor/priest because when did God ever say to listen to HIM?? Logging off. Good night Bob.

He said that Paul was given authority by Jesus to spread the gospel in far off countries. Paul was annointed to a special and specific mission. Paul was inspired to write about half of the NT (it's less than that, but close enough). Paul faced many hardships but he still completed his...
