    Who decided that a ordained priest was needed to consecrate the Host?

    Bob, you practice against your own preaching about giving away all you have. Mk 10:21: And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." 22: At that saying his...

    Who decided that a ordained priest was needed to consecrate the Host?

    Since you aren't apparently reading the other thread you began, I'll repost that reply here. God did. By the same token, where does it say the average Joe does? However Corinthians makes a distinction between the agape meal and the eucharistic meal. The agape meal evryone participated in, yet...

    Literal Adam and Eve?

    While there was a literal Adam and Eve the story is presented in mythical language. Are you sure this professor was saying it was a myth? There is a world of difference between mythical language and the story being a myth. Peace and God Bless TAquinas

    Liturgy of the Hours?

    Here are two sites: Liturgy of the Hours Breviary The second one is meatier, using the 1962 callendar. It also will take time to navigate until you understand how the Breviary works concerning feasts, ordinary time and so on. But it does break up the day into all the hours whereas the first...

    Why do so many people say we "impose our morals onto others"?

    So in other words the other guy is imposing his morals on others by forcing society to accept his standard. Seems like a double standard to me. By imposing his morals on others to accept homosexuality he is acting in the same manner for which he accuses others. So much for being objective. One...

    Should women at some point be Priests?

    One of the best ways to understand the relationship of men and women in scripture is to read Paul in Ephesians. Paul uses Christs marriage to the church as the model. Christ is the head but how does he lead according to John? He is a servant. He washes the disciples feet as a model of servitude...

    Pastor Benny Hinn

    Run away, run far away. Guys that tell you that you are a messiah, Christ took your place on the cross (theologically it means you were supposed to be the sacrifice for sins), you are a god etc., need to be avoided. They are spiritually and theologically dangerous. Those three are just some of...

    Salvation

    It's not normatively a singular verse but through the whole of scripture. Melchizidech would be an example, as he was a caananite. however I would suggest reading Romans 2,: v12-16 with particular attention to v15. Gods mercy is not conditioned on mans technology; the printing press, the...

    Holy Water Questions

    Yes, Holy Water has the power to remit venial sin. On Sundays when you see the priest go throughout the congregation with with a branch of hyssop or an aspergill he sprinkles the altar, other ministers, then the congregation. When this is done it takes the place of the penitential rite. On...
