    Called out of Egypt.

    The anti-type of Israel-s exodus from Egypt is recorded in Matthew chapter two. Matthew 2:13-15 And after they had gone away, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: "Rise up, and take the boy and his mother, and flee into Egypt. And remain there until I tell you. For...

    Another year another bible.

    I have not read the whole of the Weymouth translation only parts of it. It seems fairly good. It's missing the 7 canonical books that are usually missing from Protestant bibles and alo parts of Daniel and parts of Esther. The missing books are 1 Maccabees 2 Maccabees Baruck Wisdom...

    Bot adventures.

    Thanks for the welcome. What keeps power consumption low is the PC. The Toshiba Ultrabook uses only 20 watts or there about.

    Bot adventures.

    I made a bot for IRC some time ago. It's running on four networks right now. The adventure is that it has traded host PC from a Linux netbook to a Windows 10 Mini PC and now, for a little while, laptop Ultrabook. The little 'critter' is seeing the whole world of portable low-power consumption...

    The Catechism of the Catholic Church on Baptism

    Having God parents is not presented as a requirement, what is presented as a requirement is that if one has God parents then they are duty bound to support the catechuminate (The period of instruction prior to baptism) and the Catholic Church does not say that somebody must testify for them to...

    The Catechism of the Catholic Church on Baptism

    Baptism appears to be a perennial interest on discussion boards where Protestants mix so I thought that a word from the Catholic Church might be of interest even if only because many Protestants will object to what Catholics teach on baptism. So Here is what the Compendium of the Catechism of...

    Called out of Egypt.

    The answer is in the first chapters of saint Matthew's gospel.

    Called out of Egypt.

    Israel came out of Egypt after God worked ten miracle plagues to persuade the Pharaoh to "let my people go". Most Christians know the story. Cecil B DeMille made a film about it and it is still shown occasionally on television. A big scale event. Huge production. like many old testament...

    User pays

    The user pays for their services and goods sounds so reasonable and just. But what if you are a student, a caregiver who cannot work because the needs of the one you care for are so great that you must be there for them all the time, or too sick to work full time? Who pays then.

    Homily on baptism.

    You are right atpollard - Homily on Baptism is not about the battle between credo & paedo baptism theologies. It does not matter what theology one holds about the amount of water used in baptism and the candidate's age when baptised because the homily on baptism is not about those things it is...

    Things you can do with a sim card free phone.

    I bought a second phone for two reasons to get a new version of android to have a backup in case of damage or loss but there was an unexpected benefit in having one phone without a sim card in it - I can use it for facebook messenger, skype, and even sms by means of "mightytext". Isn't that...

    Homily on baptism.

    Josiah and ImaginaryDay2 both gave good answers to your post. The water does not do anything except act as the means by which the Holy Spirit accomplishes the miracle of baptism. It is the Holy Spirit who effects the work of baptism. He baptises the faithful, he washes away their sins in the...

    Homily on baptism.

    The priest from my parish moved recently to another parish about 40 Km away. He and I are good friends so I decided to visit him in his new parish. It was a good visit. I attended mass and there were two baptisms. He preached a homily on baptism rather than a homily on the gospel reading of the...

    Another year another bible.

    James the first of England is alleged to have funded the translation but he never authorised it so the KJV is authorised only by having the words "authorised to be read in churches" printed in the front matter by publishers. Of course in the Anglican church the KJV used to be used but most...

    Another year another bible.

    The NCB is authorised up the wazoo! It has a dozen bishops and stuff authorising it and what is even better they are real bishops with mitres and Catholic credentials and stuff - not like that lame old (and very dead) king who allegedly authorised the KJV :P

    Another year another bible.

    In keeping with my personal tradition (most people would call it a habit) 2018 sees me reading the bible in another translation. This year it is The New Community Bible It has rather a lot of footnotes and explanatory notes. Mostly I ignore such things but with this translation I may have a look...
