    Why do we need priests?

    Are the apostles considered to be of a holy priesthood? The Levitical priesthood came to an end to make way for the Order of Melchizedek .And again as a wise man pointed out presbyter means the same thing as priest. Hebrew 9: The Earthly Holy Place 9 Now even the first covenant had regulations...

    Why do we need priests?

    With all due respect, though Protestantism has acted as badly as the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, the WOE is first upon that hierarchy which FIRST behaved badly. If not for that behavior Protestantism would be a non issue. If men could have humbled themselves and treat Luther like a brother...

    Why do we need priests?

    Not true. As a matter of fact, even though there are two trains of thought within the RCC- Traditional and Ecumenicalism , it holds a lot of gold and precious gems.(Not denying that there are some falsehoods). The Truths- they were introduced by the little ones of that assembly in the Tradition...

    Why do we need priests?

    That is right, it is by the Holy Spirit that the scriptures are understood. And yes men tend to self interpret. But the Holy Spirit is very convincing , especially to those who are Christ's . "I know mine and mine know me". Clearly TRUTH is recognized by those who TRULY LOVE Christ. And still...

    Why do we need priests?

    Then it would seem that Timothy and Paul's words are useless according to what you say. It is just this simple, if a Catholic is trying to convince a protestant of something concerning the Catholic Church he/she better be able to show with scripture that their doctrine is founded upon TRUTH. If...

    Why do we need priests?

    1John 3:8-10 Children of God …8The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot...

    Why do we need priests?

    2Tim.3 Verses 16 to 17 [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Clearly Scripture Alone stands. It stands...

    Why do we need priests?

    Well that is your opinion. A born again believer is not simply someone who is baptized into the faith, but one who is born of Christ. And one born of Christ abides. That for a woman, is not leading a military revolt either. A Christian soldier's weapons are not carnal. It is bad enough that men...

    Why do we need priests?

    But for sure, due to the long history of Christianity and size and age of the RCC, there have been many saints which have come forth from that denomination.

    Why do we need priests?

    There are many unknown saints and not every person the Vatican says is a saint is. For instance Joan of Arc. We know what a woman's role is in scripture. They had to do damage control and so after deemed her a saint. She is not. And there are saints of Coptic orthodox and many, many other...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    NOT to any particular person . This is a reply to a(majority) of Protestantism : I know many have a mission and want to think you are enlightened. But the fact of the matter is, there is no enlightenment in dissing Orthodox and Catholicism as having NO saved souls from within them. That is an...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Well that is all simply your personal opinion . The Altar was established with Abraham . And the use of an Altar is throughout scripture. As for the bible never expressing a priesthood......what are you talking about? It is throughout scripture that God has and will always have men in a...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Something that I find to be silly, men like to argue over things that are good works. Would a man actually find fault with sprinkling people with water in Christ? Would you find a problem with blessing ones home with water in Christ or a land? What evil could possibly come from blessing a man...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Please elaborate, I would not want to simply take your opinion for that. Show me that there is no scriptural support for the Priesthood. And what is the priesthood from your denominational perspective ? I am always open to truth. If yours is upheld by scripture then I will apply it. So, from...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    CLEARLY YOU MARCH TO THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUMMER. Interpret as you want. Not getting drawn into a long convoluted debate. I do not put scripture against scripture. God is not the author of confusion. The scriptures are one as God is one . His garments are not for me to divide . God Bless!

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Sure it does. No denomination would have knowledge of the use of Holy water without it having been established by the Apple Tree (Israel) . Is your problem with Holy water or the RCC? Matthew 5:16-18 The Fulfillment of the Law 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    It has been established with Israel since early on to to use Holy water. Numbers 19:17-19 Purification of the Unclean …17For the purification of the unclean person, take some of the ashes of the burnt purification offering, put them in a jar, and pour fresh running water over them. 18Then a man...

    Song of Solomon 8:5 5Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you, there she travailed and brought you forth. 6Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its...
