    What do you make of it?

    They, meaning the books missing from the 66 book bible but included in the 73 (and more) book bible, are a good source for history and more than history because they teach the reader about God and his grace. The parts of Esther that were removed are very instructive for believers since the book...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    That is a convenience store not a church. That such a thing can be thought of as a church is a sign of serious lack of discernment. I do not mean to imply that you lack discernment, brother atpollard, but those who pretend that such a convenience store style drive through entity is a church...

    What do you make of it?

    It was Christians who decided the canon of the holy scriptures, they did so before the end of the fourth century of our era. The Jews decided a list of books some time after the rebellion of Bar Kochba (after 132 AD) and the earliest evidence that currently exists of a decided 'canon' for Jewish...

    Salvation

    So we kneel and pray, God is gracious to all who come. That's the whole point of this thread. It is about salvation and salvation is the grace of God given to sinners who did deserve his kindness and the good things he gave to them yet he is kind and he does give.

    Goodness is not enough.

    You made excellent points. Thanks for doing that. Human goodness needs wisdom to accomplish great things while human goodness alone only manages to create beautiful monuments and pictures that some will admire but that no more changes the world and human nature than does a beautiful painting.

    If you ever got impeached.

    I got a near belly laugh out of the last remark "what would you do with a brain if you had one?" The guy who did the video has a nice singing voice.

    If you ever got impeached.

    This made me chuckle, but it does have a bleeped out naughty word in it.

    Goodness is not enough.

    Innocent goodness is a wonder to behold and tears at the heart of any who see it knowing their own wickedness yet innocent goodness by itself never stopped the wicked killing the innocent. More is needed for that that happen. After the killing some who were involved may feel guilt and with God's...

    I did reply brother Arsenios, in quite words that I hope can calm tempestuous fingers.

    Is the Account of Adam and Eve LITERAL?

    Because if we do not believe it then how can we ever make the important things come true such as justice, mercy, truth, and compassion?

    What do you make of it?

    If your warning is taken to heart then no one here will be reading the bible free of denominational biases. But since you prefer a 66 book bible you do not appear to be reading your 'bible' free of the biases that whittled it down to 66 books.

    Is the Account of Adam and Eve LITERAL?

    I do not know if the story is about exactly two people from whom the whole of humanity are descended. It could be. If read at face value it seems possible. But it also looks like the creation story is not like prose we'd expect in a report of historical events. The days of creation has a litany...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    In the Mass we use unleavened bread because of the statements in Matthew, Mark, and Luke which say that the "feast of unleavened bread" was already underway when the last supper was eaten. The last supper (Mk 14:12; Lk 22:7; Jn 13:1) Matthew 26:17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened...

    Frequency of Communion?

    As far as I know all wine was prepared in essentially the same way in the first century. Grapes were harvested, crushed, and the juice filtered and allowed to ferment in enclosed containers - either pots, or barrels, or skins - until it was ready for drinking. The same is true of bread if it...

    What do you make of it?

    I wonder if the Corinthian Christians thought it was out of place? I think that they probably did not. It may have been an answer to a question that they asked by word of mouth or by letter to saint Paul but we have no record of it.

    Possibly. But this thread is not about absolute goodness. That is explained in the first post.
