That's true, Permit me to digress. Matt. 16:18 - Jesus promises the gates of Hades would never prevail against the Church. He never said the Church would not be attacked from within and from without. Obviously, she has, and there are many examples throughout history. But being attacked with...

Asking someone to pray for you does not mean you are worshiping them. All prayer is not worship. In old English, people would say, "I pray thee, pass the salt." They do not mean, "I worship you as God, pass the salt.' "Pray" means to ask. Scroll up to post #70 and click on the link. Catholics...

Well, there's plenty of chivalry in this old man, sweetheart! But I digress. You say that Junia was not an apostle, but merely someone the apostles admired. I'm not so sure. Rom 16:7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who...

That's ok, I think the feet washing topic has been exhausted anyway. Of all the women mentioned in the NT, none of them were ordained. Junia, who is "of note among the Apostles" does not make her an apostle, it means that among the Apostles her holiness was noteworthy. Deaconess Pheobe...

John 13 has a two fold meaning. 1) serving one another in humility and love and 2) reading it as the institution of the priesthood. There is no conflict or contradiction regardless of how anyone wants to read it, but I think it's a mistake to ignore the obvious parallel with Lev. 16:23-24. The...

How does Jesus' example carry over into the lives of the Apostles? Remember, the foot washing is always done by the priest (alter Christus) on 12 laymen. The foot washing scene in the Gospel of John is not only meant to be an example of humble service, but primarily a record of the...

From an Orthodox site: I believe in (Romans 10: 8-10; 1 John 4: 15) One God (Deuteronomy 6: 4, Ephesians 4: 6) Father (Matthew 6: 9) Almighty, (Exodus 6: 3) Creator of heaven and earth, (Genesis 1: 1) and of all things visible and invisible; (Colossians 1: 15-16) and in one Lord, Jesus Christ...

The Value and Inviolability of Human Life (Evangelium Vitae) Kinda puts a new light on John 3:16, doesn't it? Yes, thank you. People who have no respect for the Pope have no respect for themselves. No need to be sorry. Catholics are painfully aware that some popes were scoundrels, about 10 in...

No, Jesus washed the Apostles feet, and He told them to follow His example. Servant and slave are interchangeable terms 15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is...

I've seen Protestant services that had "washing of the feet" ceremony, following the tradition from John 13. 14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. I guess you didn't read the link...

It's a mild comeback and its not about people who disagree with me. It's about spiritual sadism and persecution. Immersing oneself in spiritual pornography is a sinful addiction. The end result is a kind of psychosis where the ability to see the truth is diminished. I've seen it many times when...

Pope Francis to inmates: 'I too need to be washed by the Lord' Pope Francis kisses an inmate's foot at Rome's Rebibbia New Complex Prison April 2

Nobody reads it anyway, just as nobody reads long lists of unrelated bible verses. But explanation of Catholic doctrine and their development requires thought/study and may require more than a bumper sticker answer. What I fail to understand is why excessive misrepresentations, half truths...

It's not rhetoric but a very real threat to religious institutions. All of them. Yours included. ANY faith based school is also under serious threat. The theme is the same. Schools and churches. Homofascists are lobbying to control the government, That is the point. Both articles are posted...

oops. I forgot to post the source for the Number of the Beast

The Barrd, I'm glad you brought that up. Bill Donohue comments on how the legalization of gay marriage will not be enough to satisfy radical activists: There aren’t enough homosexuals to wage war on religious institutions—they comprise only 1.6 percent of the population—but they have plenty...

Thanks RJ, that helps.

Even if I knew how to use it, I don't like the quote feature, there is not sufficient contrast.
