R: No, actually the old testament was a prophecy for things that would happen again, in the new testament i.e. Prophecy of Jeremias, Prophecy of Isaias, etc. The Davidic Monarchy, was a sacerdotal monarchy and it is the same with the Catholic church, a sacerdotal monarchy.
Genesis 14:18 But
Melchisedech the
king of Salem,
bringing forth bread and wine,
for he was the priest of the most high God, …
Isaias 9:6-7
For a CHILD IS BORN to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor,
God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace. [7]
His empire shall be multiplied, and there shall be no end of peace:
he shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom; ...
Hebrews 7:11-17 If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,)
what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?"
For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law. For he, of whom these things are spoken, is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar. For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. And it is yet far more evident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedech there ariseth another priest, Who is made not according to the law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life: For he testifieth:
Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.
"Besides - what
YOU have just said makes Jesus a
liar when He told Peter that the Gate of Hell would
notprevail against His Church."
R: No, actually it does to make Jesus a liar. Jesus is faithful, He will punish. God will cast out His church [temple] because the people broke their promise. You are completely ignoring, what has already occurred, in favor of your own personal ideas.
HAYDOCK CATHOLIC BIBLE COMMENTARY
. 7. Take away, by death or exile. (Haydock) --- Sight. God is disposed to grant favours to those who approach his temples with piety.
If they indulge their passions, he will suffer these holy places to be profaned, as a dreadful warning of his displeasure. The Jews enjoyed prosperity while they continued faithful.
On their revolt, the ark was taken, the temple pillaged by Sesac, burnt by Nabuchodonosor, profaned by Antiochus, and destroyed by the Romans. (Calmet)
The gates of hell, refer to heresies, lies. The Catholic faith is found in a faithful remnant, always.
"As for the
"idolatry" you speak of -
explain.
The Catholic Church does not
now nor has it
ever taught idolatry."
R: Probably the greatest act of idolatry and apostasy, was the Assisi Prayer Day For Peace in 1986, regarding 'john paul II'. This happened two other times also, with 'Benedict XVI'. This by far, is not a secret!
St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Pt. I-II, Q. 103., A. 4: “All ceremonies are professions of faith, in which the interior worship of God consists. Now man can make profession of his inward faith,
by deeds as well as by words:
and in either profession, if he make a false declaration, he sins mortally.”
The vatican II sect teaches Nostra Aetate #4, that the 'jews' are not rejected and that the bible or the Catholic church makes no mention of it. This is teaching and promoting false religions, which is idolatry and apostasy. I don't think that you read the thread all the way through. Or you prefer the doctrines of men?
R: No, that is false and a blasphemy. The Catholic church is immaculate and pure. The Catholic church is a society of believers. By the way, here is the title of the chapter that you cite.
"He **excommunicates** the incestuous adulterer and admonishes them to purge out the old leaven."
St. Paul speaks about those outside the Catholic church, which means by their action, they are already judged.
Also, read Romans ch. 1. Homosexuality is a punishment for idolatry and apostasy. The worship of man as god. Believing in the doctrines of man.
If you don't except this as the truth, then you cannot be helped.
Prophecy of Isaias 5:20 Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
