    Why do we need priests?

    Interesting. Have you met many priests like this? I have met many who are nothing but encouraging in helping us deepen our walk with the Lord, or helping to discern our vocation.. As for 'keeping' authority, i'm not sure a bishop has much of a choice. He has a responsibilty to shephard the...

    I believe!

    I believe HE will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead I beleve HE will judge with mercy, having come to save us, not condemn us. I believe only those who willfully and knowingly reject HIM will be lost.

    Fasting

    The fast of lent is not about not eating. It is about reminding us individually and as a community that we are to be living the proper fast (see post one) . It is about seeking less for ourselves and more for those in need, those broken, those in prison, the blind and the lame..... It is...

    Fasting

    Interesting. I see it as a sign of our only hope. And I for one, am not ashamed of the cross, or to boldly lift it up for the nations to see... Peace be with you!

    You see the sign of the cross as blasphemy? :eek:

    If all of the Church is the Bride of Christ who are the guests?

    I would suggest rather, that the mountain has filled the Earth. And what else can this mountain be but Mt. Zion, Jerusalem, the city of the living God? As for other 'holy cities' , i know of none. A multitude of neighbourhoods, houses, mansions, suburbs, trailer parks, tents and camp grounds...

    If all of the Church is the Bride of Christ who are the guests?

    And we are Jerusalem! And.. 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 receive the gift of life-giving water Peace be with you!

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Nancy, Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. And so I abide. Not through any life of my own, but rather through HIS life in me. You too are welcome to come to the wedding feast of the Lamb of God! Peace be with you! Christ is risen! Alleluia!

    Why do we need priests?

    She had the same freewill choice as Eve. To obey, or not to obey. God did not force Himself on her. Peace!

    Why do we need priests?

    Hello Enoch, Because it is the One loaf that Jesus broke and gave to His apostles. It is the One cup that Jesus blessed, 'when the hour had come'. ' you are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizadek' I dont know how else I can explain it to you, but I will pray for your...

    Why do we need priests?

    What you miss, is that it is not a re-sacrifce, but one and the same sacrifice represented and recelebrated. It is the living Christ on the altar, the Living One slain before the foundation of the world, And neither is it a man who offers but Christ Himself who is both High Priest and victim...

    John 16:33 Could you expound on it, please?

    I see it as the war has already been won, even though we remain on the battlefield. Thus knowing that victory is already assured in our Lord Jesus Christ, we can remain at peace and even joyful even in times where we seem surrounded by darkness. Never dispair, indeed HE will give us all we...

    Why do we need priests?

    Paul was no Gnostic, but gnostics have indeed abused the things he wrote and taught. Peace!

    Why do we need priests?

    the work of each will come to light, for the Day will disclose it. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire (itself) will test the quality of each one's work. If the work stands that someone built upon the foundation, that person will receive a wage. But if someone's work is burned up, that...

    Why do we need priests?

    Just as the priesthood of all the Israelites was recognized in the old. Exodus 19:6 You shall be to me a kingdom of priests, a holy nation. That is what you must tell the Israelites." Peace!

    Why do we need priests?

    Yes Possibly. Considering the care taken in the construction and cleansing of the ark of the old covenant, i am not surprised that even more care would be taken in the formation of the ark of the new. I see no reason to doubt this. Yes Yes. Peace!
