    Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy

    So you're saying Jesus arrived at Lazarus on Saturday and then entered into Jerusalem on Sunday. OK. This is what is taught. I guess when you get right down to it, it doesn't really matter what John 12:12 says. The problem I have is this: The commandment says to keep holy the Sabbath. That's...

    Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy

    You're asking me as if I knew Greek. I'm not the one who knows it, but a friend of mine. A priest that taught theology and koine Greek and reads the bible in KG. I don't think we can do this ourselves. I'd like to ask him regarding Mathew 28:1 John 12:1 and John 12:12 But what exactly am I...

    Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy

    6 days before the Passover had to be Saturday? I always understood that Jesus went to Lazarus' house on Friday. So the "next day" would be Saturday and not Sunday (for the entrance into Jerusalem). Comment?

    Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy

    Yes. I mis-spoke. I agree with you of course; that it's about keeping the day holy. We can worship every day and should worship God every day and every moment. Anyway, how can we be sure Jesus did not resurrect at the end of the Sabbath? The tomb was already empty when the Marys got there on...

    Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy

    I see scripture speaking of the first day of the week. As in John 20:1, the first day of the week was Sunday, not Saturday. I know this is more complicated than I understand, but I am going to ask someone who will know what Mathew 28:1 is all about. It says Sabbaths twice -- I'm going to find...

    Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy

    So are you saying that all this depends on the interpretation for Mathew 28:1-2??? I could find out lickity split.

    Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy

    Be it willful ignorance or not, I was taught all my life that we worship on Sunday because that's when Jesus was resurrected. It's not until recently that I started to mull this over. The excuse for misunderstanding is that we're human. Calvinists misunderstsand too, but I don't believe...

    better or worse/Freewill

    God made woman in Genesis 1:27 BEFORE it was declared that everything was good. I do agree with your questions to @twinc It's what I was getting at. Adam broke the covenant, not Eve. See also Romans 5:12 Through one MAN sin entered into the world.

    Should Priests Get Married?

    I've always said the above. "Just tell me what to do" ! It removes the relationship and makes it a duty.

    Should Priests Get Married?

    What rite permits seminarians to get married and still be a priest? Even Deacons cannot get remarried if their wife should die. Ditto for lay persons who belong to Franciscan orders, for example. They must take a vow of celibacy and charity.

    Should Priests Get Married?

    A pastor is a specific type of priest. All pastors are priests but not all priests are pastors. What do I mean? Some priests tend more to being a good shepherd of his sheep, some priests are good at homilies or sacraments, some are very good at organizational skills, some are good for...

    Should Priests Get Married?

    Is 1 Co 7:1-7 for priests? No. Also, I believe we have a different understanding of this scripture. A man should not touch a woman is referring to fornication and Paul is saying that it's better to be married to avoid this.

    better or worse/Freewill

    My dear TC Check out the Edenic Covenant. With whom was it made? Adam or Eve? Who broke the covenant with God by disobeying Him and eating from the tree?

    It doesn't disturb me as much as some other doctrines. Why do you think it's dangerous?

    Should Priests Get Married?

    I have to agree. I always heard them called priests. I do know a priest that's a good pastor, but most aren't,,, this is my experience.

    Should Priests Get Married?

    See post no. 62. Those numbers are for all of italy. I'm not sure which data you mean. If you mean for the seminary I mentioned, it's closing down because it was built for 300 and only 6 seminarians are there right now. Next year it'll be 5 because one is becoming a Deacon in two weeks so he'll...
