Angelina said The covenant you are referring to here is not a physical object. Yes, the 10 commandments, the Word of God in stone. It was placed in the Ark. Jesus is the divine logos, the Word Made Flesh in the New Ark at the moment He was incarnated., Yes, and Aaron was the high priest, his rod...

Thank you BA. Threads like this can degenerate into a bash fest.The most annoying insults are charges of idolatry. If a saint is truly being thought of as a replacement for God, and an end in and of himself, then it is idolatry. If it was thought, for example, that Mary could grant requests in...

The Incarnation is a standard matter of faith across all 3 main branches of Christianity. We have to explain who Jesus is before we can begin to explain Mary.

[/FONT][/SIZE] Good Friday is also a cultural holiday, only the essential sector, primarily, has to work that day. A: Irrational portrayals of Easter week contribute not just to the mockery of Catholics, but of all Christians the world over; and worse: the losing of people's souls in hell; We...

Was the Ark of the Old Covenant just a storage box? THAT is what gives us a sense of the sacred, a foreshadow of the Ark of the New Covenant. On Mt. Sinai, God gave Moses instructions for building the Ark of the Covenant. The construction is minutely described (see Exodus 25:1-22). The Ark’s...

Yes, as as it is taught here 817-820 and here Who separated from whom is always a hot topic. He would not disagree and your reply has nothing to do with his quote. Acts 20:28 in isolation does not give the whole theology of salvation/redemption. I don't think any one verse can do that.

No. Part of a day counts as a day, and part of a night counts as a night. Idioms are not hyper-literal.

There seems to be a lot of confusion in this thread between redemption and salvation. They are not the same thing. Basically, redemption is collective and salvation is individual. By his passion, death, and resurrection, Christ redeemed humanity collectively from slavery to sin and from the...

The Jewish Sabbath is Saturday, the last day of the week. Sunday is described as the first the first day of the week in several places in Scripture.

The Protestant revolutionaries were anti-Catholic, they were not the Catholic Church. "Roman Church" describing the historic universal Catholic Church is a cheap slogan. It excludes the other 22 rites that are all Catholic. "Roman Church" was first used as a insult by the Anglicans in the 16th...

The Bible maintains that there is a sense in which Christ died for all men. John 4:42 describes Christ as "the Savior of the world," and 1 John 2:2 states that Christ "is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world." 1 Timothy 4:10 describes God as "the...

You are writing your own bible. All four gospels agree that Jesus was crucified on a Friday (Matt. 27:62, Mark 15:42; Luke23:54; John 19:42), just before a Sabbath, which was just before the first day of the week (Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1). We know that it was a Friday...

Q: What is Lent? A:Historically, Lent is the forty day period before Easter, excluding Sundays, it began on Ash Wednesday and ended on Holy Saturday (the day before Easter Sunday). In recent years, this has been modified so that it now ends with evening Mass on Holy Thursday, to prepare the way...

Redemption is universal, salvation is not. Stranger has collapsed the two different terms (although related) into one, and refuses to budge, so it seems.

Redemption is not the same as salvation. Jesus Christ redeemed the world is age-old, standard Christian teaching. Yes, the whole world — which includes all atheists, all sinners, all people, even all things — was redeemed by the Blood of Christ that was shed for us on Calvary. Jesus paid the...

Twice you said, "...first day of the week...", you didn't say "first night of the week" which would be Monday. That's just as silly as your Thursday crucifixion theory.

Peter spent 3 years with Jesus so there is nothing"historical" about it. Paul saw Jesus in 2 visions we know of so I don't count that as "historical" either. Historicity is a science used by higher critics that dismisses most of the Bible as fiction. They are modernist heretics and have infected...

There are three different kinds of "sciences." The difference between them is the degree of abstraction that is involved. The mind might just focus on the physical by experimental observation. This science is called physics or natural science (this is what the modern mind knows as "science"). He...

"no real disagreement can exist between the theologian and the scientist provided each keeps within his own limits. . . . If nevertheless there is a disagreement . . . it should be remembered that the sacred writers, or more truly ‘the Spirit of God who spoke through them, did not wish to teach...
