Indeed! It is only in Him and through Him that we are united with each other... And all of us, the Church, are His bride... Eph 5:31-32 "For this reason a man shall leave (his) father and (his) mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This is a great mystery...

I'm not sure what you mean by 'higher form of salvation'... I would say rather that this speaks to the unity of the Church, and how we are to 'bear with one another in love' and so together be 'led into all Truth'... Can a house divided stand? Peace be with you!

Well for starters, Jesus, the son of David, IS king over Israel, and that is an everlasting kingdom! Peace!

Mark 2:19 is a good place to start... Peace!

marks, You said: 'who takes which position is up to God' And I agree. Jesus gave authority to the apostles, they in turn choose (ordained) overseers to care for the Church after them and that authority has been passed from generation to generation even until today. That passage in Hebrews...

Hello grams, Yes, just as written by you here... We cannot baptize ourselves...it is a gift from God, administered by the community, who , in Faith, ask God to grant you the gifts of Faith and the Holy Spirit... Baptism is not a work you perform, it is Grace, that you receive! Peace be with...

Dearest Helen, You misunderstand. I trust the Holy Spirit to preserve and pass on the Truth in the Church, despite the failings of popes and bishops and priests and laity... I have 2000 years of men led by the Holy Spirit to check my understanding against... Not just in the Latin church, but...

How can 5000 be fed with a few loaves? John was aware that a wedding was taking place: The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. Peace!

Hello Miss H, If you were NOT baptized then your statement: "went to Mass everyday, took Communion every morning, said the Rosary every single night. BUT, I was not Born Again at that time...nor Baptized in the Holy Spirit, either." Appears disingenuous. Only the baptized receive communion...

Ah, but a faithful son will see himself (herself) as a servant of all... Is this not our Lord's example? Are we willing to wash the feet of others? Peace!

That IS an important queation... For me, I accept that the Truth does not change , and thus what was True for my brethren in 40 ad 100 ad 200 ad....2000 ad ... MUST be True today , and so I check my understanding against the understanding of my brethren... HE will lead you into all Truth, is a...

Not perhaps as you do but there has been/will be a fullfillment... But today has enough troubles... Rest in the peace of HIS love and trust that HE has tomorrow in HIS hand.... Those of us, who HE holds in HIS hand need not fear the 'end of days' , whether we are called to lay our lives down...
