What pure offering do we have to offer? That which our Father, in His Goodness has given us, the Lamb of God, Who once was slain, and now lives forever.. Is there anything else besides the sacrifice of the Eucharist that could fulfill Malachi 1:11 ? From the very beginning of the Church, our...

Hi Scott, This one: For from the rising of the sun, even to its setting, my name is great among the nations; And everywhere they bring sacrifice to my name, and a pure offering; For great is my name among the nations, says the LORD of hosts. And yes, it is all One! Through Him, And with...

Hi Ferris, Read that bit again.. 'draw disciples away after them' Compare with John's 'they went out from us' It is those who leave the community that 'draw others away' . why? Because not being able to teach their heresy in the Church the must need leave her to promote their false...

Hmm.. Tell that to the Church in Alexandria.. If Rome is your stumbling block, then come to the Feast with Alexandria! Come with Constantinople! But come! Pax et Bonum

Hello Ferris, Does the Truth change? What was True for our brothers and sisters in 50 AD, 100 AD, 200 AD.. 1000 AD.. Must still be True today.. If we 'discern' something that is contrary to what our brothers and sisters have proclaimed and practiced for 2000 years.. Is it not more likely...

Non Serviam has ever been the enemies cry.. Pax et Bonum

You did indeed, and I pointed out that those same scriptures show men leading others away from the community. One must be in union with the Truth to apostise from it.. The Church herself cannot apostize for the Church and Christ are one.. The daily sacrifice of the Old Covenenant is ended...

Hello Scott, Where is it foretold that the Church would teach a lie? That some of its members would do so, certainly.. But they never and cannot prevail! As you said the victory is assured! And the Church cannot do aught but follow in the footsteps of her Master! For the Holy Spirit...

Pope Tawadros II - Coptic Orthodox Church They have been out of full communion with the Church in Rome for more than 1500 years... Yet recognizably practice the one Faith, received from Christ through the apostles.. That even after 1500 years this is recognizably so, demonstrates the Holy...

How is the Church teaching a lie not 'the gates of hell prevailing'? If we cannot trust 'the pillar and ground of the truth' to teach truth, then we are all lost.. Please tell me how the Church has forsaken Christ? Some of her members perhaps, but the Church cannot forsake her Master...

Indeed and this has happened many times.. But the Church was not led astray, indeed she cannot be, the Holy Spirit will not allow it! How else could she be 'the ground and pillar of the Truth'? Where now are those who listened to Apollonarius? To Donatus? Ti Arias? He said in reply, "Every...

Oh my dear amigo, You couldnt be more wrong.. But if Rome is your stumbling block, then come to the feast with Alexandria! Come with Constantinople! But Come! The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Let the hearer say, "Come." Let the one who thirsts come forward, and the one who wants it...

Hello Scott, Nowhere does scripture foretell that the Church would be led astray, Just the opposite, Jesus fotetells that the gates of hell will not overcome her.. Scripture does foretell those who would arise in the Church and draw others away after them.. John warns of them here: They...

Flee Christ? Not for anything.. Pax et Bonum

The apostolic communities remain all over the world.. The Church in Rome, the Church in Alexandria.. The Church in Crete has been an apostolic community since it was planted by Paul who made Titus its first bishop.. That which is believed by all, everywhere the Church was planted is clearly...

Dismissing your brothers and sisters of the last 2000 years is hardly the way to claim union with them.. For all who worithly partake of the Feast are one with Christ! Therefore anyone who claims to be united with Christ is necessarily united with those at the Feast! The Holy Spirit is not...

Well that certainly includes faithful Catholics. But the Church is not a man made institution, but a community established by Christ! That community has existed and grown since the day of Pentecost to fill the whole world, in fulfillment of the scriptures. For from the rising of the sun, even...

Hello bbyrd, How have you been? Anyone who desires CAN participate.. But they need to be properly prepared.. But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. He said to him, 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding...

The celebration of the Eucharist! The wedding Feast of the Lamb of God! All are welcome to come and receive Him, from every station, from every tribe and people and tongue... All are welcome to come to the Feast! Pax et Bonum

Indeed. And now He lives forever! Alleluia! The Feast is a memorial of Christ's death and ressurection indeed, but a memorial at which He Himself is present! But is it 'only' a memorial? The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we...
