I agree, which is why we see Mary as an icon of the Church. Note she is not just the mother of Jesus but also 'the rest of her offspring, those who keep God's commandments and bear witness to Jesus.' so then she is both the icon of, and the mother of, the Church. Peace be with you! Mother...

?? Did someone else give birth to Jesus? How can it not be Mary?

Hello Agios, There can be many presbyters but only one bishop for any particular church. Here's Ignatius of Antioch discussing this (to the Smyrneans) '[But] shun divisions, as the beginning of evils. Do ye all follow your bishop, as Jesus Christ followed the Father, and the presbytery as...

From the Didache circa 70 AD 1. On the Lord's Day of the Lord come together, break bread and hold Eucharist, after confessing your transgressions that your offering may be pure; 2. But let none who has a quarrel with his fellow join in your meeting until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice...

Hi Davy, Hmm.. It seems to me that you are assuming the references to the Holy covenant in Dan 11 are speaking of the old covenant and its animal sacrifices. I suggest you reread it with the view that they are referring to the new covenant and the Eucharistic sacrifice. Peace be with you!

Not just us, but all living things. Inanimate things cannot produce life. It is that spirit of life that produces life.. And from the moment of conception, there is a unique human life that is animated by that 'breath of life'. Peace be with you!

Hi Keraz, That's kind of my point.. We are the temple. Thus another one need not be built. Rather, the imposter will demand that we worship him. Putting an end to our daily sacrifice and erecting his own image to be worshipped in our churches... Peace!

Hello Davy, I am curious as to why you think this is referring to that covenant that was finished at the destruction of the temple (and thus requires a new temple of stone to be built) and not to the new covenant and the Church? Peace!

Dear user, Indeed. And yet a great multitude is saved! For 'this promise is for you and for your children!' Indeed, and there is no reason to remain with them. You too! Are welcome to come to the wedding feast of the Lamb of God! Peace be with you! Christ is risen! Alleluia!

I agree. Here's some instruction by one who was made Bishop of Antioch by the apostles... 8:1 [But] shun divisions, as the beginning of evils. Do ye all follow your bishop, as Jesus Christ followed the Father, and the presbytery as the Apostles; and to the deacons pay respect, as to God's...

Indeed he is: For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread,... Peace! Christ is risen! Alleluia!

Hello user, Hmmm.. Please identify the true Church that teaches otherwise and has done so for 2000 years.. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden Do you know what that city is celebrating today? The feast of the Holy Trinity. All praise and glory to...

Dear Doug, They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers. ... The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the...

My position is the same as Paul's. we are all one in Christ . You are doing what the Judaizers were doing, seeking to divide the body. Many have tried to do so in many different ways over 2000 years, and they are all preaching contrary to Paul... The Church is ONE! Shame on you for trying to...

Well sort of, if you're counting angels ;) Here's a link to the pilot episode:

One i found quite enjoyable to watch with my kids was the animated film Prince of Egypt. Peace!
