Catholics: What does it mean to pray to Mary? It means you don't understand that she is asleep (dead) awaiting the resurrection. It also means you put a variety of practices in place in the vain hope of getting her ear.

When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place? Jesus was the embodiment of the Temple. Its furnishings and its rituals were symbols including the Lamb slain. Jesus say's referring to himself, 'destroy this temple and I will raise it in three days' John 2:19 As per...

I think you missed the point of my post Deb

ahhhh, advice dished out after the fact is as useless as the word 'should'

You have not yet understood the kindness of God DRR. God forgives before the Creation of the World. It is this fact delivered in the incarnation, death and resurrection of Jesus which is the drawing power that draws all men to himself. It is true, not all who are drawn care to have him as their...

Being able to forgive is the result of understanding ones own forgiveness. He/she who loves little has the perception of being forgiven little; he/she who loves much understands much has been forgiven him/her.

Does sin makes demands that God needs to capitulate to? Does sin have more authority than God? ....and who said God was angry at people?....and why conflate justice with punishment?

yes, but the principle is there.

Would you support Mr Trump if he were bombing the blazers out of you Deb?

Oh Duckie, you must admit, it's a bit vague.....probably even the left over memories of movies of who knows what and when. Reading stuff into it is about as accurate as hitting Pluto with a sling shot.

haha :phew:

what about dried fish (or was it fresh) on barley loaves (no butter of course)?

Ahhhh, so the visuals are a factor as well as limited words? hmmmmm!

You personally don't understand yet in an attempt to gain traction you use the words 'we' or 'anyone'. The fact that you don't see the terms, 'objective reality' and 'paradigms' as having any bearing with truth seekers reveals the very thing I stated in my reply to you in post #37. You conflate...

When might we see smoke? When Jesus is obscured by a multitude of tradition.

I guess that's what many folk think about many of the utterances of Jesus. The disconnect arises from dissimilar paradigms. It's like telling the indigenous that their dreamtime stories (which are foundational for them) have no semblance with objective reality. Because of your unwillingness to...

And so it is with understanding all that is written in the OT. .....Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah to mention a few.

The Bible Is Built on the Rock of Mathematics Jesus is The Rock. The Rock that gushes water in a dry and weary land. The Rock upon which the Church is built. The Rock that becomes a mountain and fills the whole Earth. The Rock which ensures the anchor holds. The Rock that the house which...
