Wow, just wow..

HI Mayflower, What then does it mean 'i desire mercy and not sacrifice'. Did the Lord not demand sacrifice from Israel? It is all about the heart... To think of God as some angry power that needs to be appeased by rivers of blood, or saying the right formula of words, or performing some...

The eighth day is the Lord's day, the first day of the new creation! Let us be glad and rejoice in it! Peace be with you!

I'll risk one without your permission :D Yes. Thinking of ourselves as somehow better or above our brothers and sisters... those carnal ones... those sinners... can be a deadly trap! Stick to grazing and listen to His voice! Peace!

Hi Mayflower, I apologize if a Catholic perspective is not welcome here, but 'mercy not sacrifice' And 'mercy not religion' have entirely different meanings to me... word usage can be key to proper communication of ideas and also the cause (avoidance!) of miscommunications... I will gladly...

Hello amadeus, The difference,is they thought it was all about them! ;) Peace be with you!

Hello Enoch, Indeed! and yet , never did they say 'lets start our own nation' and leave these other turkeys behind.... You too! Are welcome to come to the wedding feast of the Lamb of God!

Hello Fluffy Don't be afraid to love! Even knowing we can be betrayed, denied, abused.... I am truly sorry to hear of your struggles, but return the call... praying for you!

Hello DNB, whatever might may you think that the religious 'cover their light with a blanket?' . Have you done more for the Body of Christ than they? Is their part somehow less than your part? What is it about their spirituality (and there are many to choose from) that disturbs you so? And...

Hello Cooper, The True Israelite's chose Christ! And, thanks be to God, we gentiles have been welcomed into that union! You too! Are welcome to come to the wedding feast of the lamb of God! Peace be with you!

Ezekial 33: 13-20

What an awesome God we have! Brother, it's good to see that your self imposed exile was short-lived :D All praise and Glory to the Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord, in the union of the Holy Spirit! Amen!

Same God, no contradiction: Though I say to the virtuous man that he shall surely live, if he then presumes on his virtue and does wrong, none of his virtuous deeds shall be remembered; because of the wrong he has done, he shall die. And though I say to the wicked man that he shall surely...

Well, better once a year than not at all I reckon :) Let us rejoice then, brother, that we have such a wonderful saviour ! For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son...

Yes. And of course, Holy Week is the pinnacle of our liturgical calendar. (If you have never experienced an Easter vigil Mass, i would invite and encourage you to attend one this year) However that paschal mystery is celebrated and entered into every time we celebrate the Divine Liturgy (Mass)...

Hello Barney, Jesus is indeed our Paschal Lamb. And we celebrate the feast daily. Now that the Church has grown and filled the whole world, i expect that not an hour goes by without the feast being celebrated somewhere, and so truly is Malachi 1:11 fulfilled.. For from the rising of the...

Hi David, Hmmm... Perhaps suggest he read the Summa Theologica ... Faith and reason go hand in hand! Peace be with you!

To everything there is a season... Dear Amadeus, It has been an honour and a pleasure to interact with you here. While we may not have always seen things the same way, your posts were always gracious and gentle and I thank you for that. Your wisdom will be missed! I am sorry to hear that...

Do you think Jesus was a false prophet and a liar? "Enough from you! The whole community, all of them, are holy; the LORD is in their midst. Why then should you set yourselves over the LORD'S congregation?" Beware of Korah's rebellion... Peace be with you!

But Lot's wife looked back, and she was turned into a pillar of salt
