    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    That the Catholic Church has not changed the Sabbath to Sunday is shown by these quotation, going back in time: Catechism of the Catholic Church Sunday is expressly distinguished from the sabbath which it follows chronologically every week; for Christians its ceremonial observance replaces that...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    I get really pi**ed off by these crappy supposed quotes from non authoritative sources that cannot be checked because no links are given. The above is rubbish and does not represent the teaching of the Catholic Church. It's the product of raw anti-Catholic bigotry.

    Is penance biblical?

    You have me wrong. I never said we sin against our neighbour. Read it carefully. I said: Sin is an offence against God. That is what sin is. Then I said But as well as offending God most of our wrong actions offends our neighbour. I said offend our neighbour not sin against them. God...

    Is penance biblical?

    You are ignoring my point about two kinds of offence and two kinds of punishment. If I beat up my neighbour should it just be ignored if I repent because "Jesus took the punishment"?

    Did the events of Maccabees take place after the end of the Old Covenant and before the beginning of the New Covenant?

    Heb 8:13 In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. This suggests that at the time of writing the Old (Mosaic) Covenant was still in operation for those in it. Would it be just for a Jew living in the...

    Did the events of Maccabees take place after the end of the Old Covenant and before the beginning of the New Covenant?
