    Apostolicity

    An apostolic community is one founded by an apostle or by those in communion with the commuities founded by the apostles. They pass on on from generation to generation, the one loaf and one cup that Jesus shared with the apostles. Peace be with you!

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    Or are perhaps the 144000 the first fruits and the great multitude the entire harvest? The Bride is indeed Israel (God is not a bigamist), but who is Israel? She is the cultivated olive tree, made up of all those who are 'Israel according to the flesh' and were not 'cast off' for unbelief and...

    Brother, Jesus answered them, "Can you make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days." Jesus came to wed Israel as God promised HE would do. That we gentiles have...

    Lost sheep were my people, their shepherds misled them, straggling on the mountains; From mountain to hill they wandered, losing the way to their fold. Will you continue to wander? Return to HIM and HE will return to you! Peace and Love!

    To the weak I became weak, to win over the weak. I have become all things to all, to save at least some. All this I do for the sake of the gospel, so that I too may have a share in it. 'Capture every thought for Christ' So much for your 'boundry stones' Peace!

    Beloved, There is no injury that you can do me, for which I will not forgive you. My love for you grows each day. I think, in your heart, you know this which is why you can't help but engage me. Like a moth to a flame, you are being irresistibly drawn to the love of God. Why do you kick...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    The guests are the Bride. Those without a wedding garment (the bad) are they who participate unworthily, not recognizing the Body and Blood of Christ, and so not properly being prepared to receive HIM. Peace be with you!

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    Heresies that were long ago repudiated by the Church are resurfacing like wildfires... Lack of authority allows all kinds of false teaching to flourish.. Signs of the times... Peace be with you!

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    The issue is not a change in doctrine, in fact the document clearly affirms that divorce and remarrige is contrary to the Faith, but vague language that leaves open the door to all kinds of abuses.. Bishops are right to call for clarification in my opinion... Peace!

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    Perhaps, perhaps also, some here do not know or have not heard that when we celebrate Eucharist, we participate in that eternal feast. But thank you brother, for reminding me that we must always be open to the prompting of the Holy Spirit, ready to go where and when HE wills.. Something for...

    To invite them to the wedding feast! The master then ordered the servant, 'Go out to the highways and hedgerows and make people come in that my home may be filled. Peace be with you!

    Beloved, Have I broken the rules of this board? Are you the leader of this community that I should submit to your authority? If so, you should make that clear both in your rules and in your profile. If not, call a moderator if you feel I am acting contrary to the rule established here...

    Ah, you wound me again brother, but I will love you all the more! If I indeed denied my blessing, would you respect my authority as her father and desist, or would you run off with her anyway? Love!

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    Beloved, Yes indeed! Alleluia, something we can agree on. :) And he shared that authority 'the keys to the kingdom' with Peter and the apostles.. 'he who hears you, hears me..' You will give your authority to the man Jesus Christ, sooner or later... 'for every knee shall bend and every...
