    Quo Vadis Domine

    Where are you going, Lord? Asked as a rebuke it would be a blasphemy. Asked as a plea to follow it is a humble prayer of the heart. Quo Vadis Domine Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus responded: "Where I am going, you are not able to follow me now. But you shall...

    Tuesday 9th May 2017 MORNING Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb. 11:1 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. I Cor. 15:19 Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the...

    What does it mean in practice for a person to believe in God?

    Whatever you conceive "faith" to be is it true that saving faith rests in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit?

    Why can't the bread & wine be the body & blood of the Lord?

    John 4:24 is the verse you were looking for, I think. "God is Spirit. And so, those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth." John 4:24 Jesus is flesh and bones as well as Spirit. See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and...

    Why can't the bread & wine be the body & blood of the Lord?

    In John 6:22-71 the flesh and blood are real and visible. "The things of God" is a very broad phrase that covers almost everything to do with Christian faith and practice so I can say only this about the things of God, some are earthly some are heavenly some are physical/material and some are...

    It's time to replace theological bombast with unity in the Spirit

    "you-all" in John 15 is about disciples who follow Jesus. They-all are the branches and some of them-all may be insincere or uncommitted - like in the parable about the fish-net that came back filled with good and bad fish (the net being the Kingdom of God and the fish being the people in the...

    It's time to replace theological bombast with unity in the Spirit

    I think the discourse about the vine, branches, and the vine dresser is about God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit who indwells the faithful. Since Jesus speaks of the branches using plural pronouns it's clear he didn't mean individuals. "You are the branches" would more...

    It's time to replace theological bombast with unity in the Spirit

    The many branches refer to many communities of the faithful. There is one vine just as there is one Church but there are many branches and many communities. I think of the communities as the parishes that make up the Church. Church being a synonym for the body of Christ. One body and many...

    It's time to replace theological bombast with unity in the Spirit

    I never thought of the branches in the vine as sects or denominations and I do not think that way now either but the way Jesus speaks of the branches tells me that the branches are communities of disciples.The Greek uses plural pronouns when speaking of the branches so I guess the branches are...

    Why can't the bread & wine be the body & blood of the Lord?

    What you say about Jesus' not being a 20th century chap is true. Nor were the disciples who stopped following him after he insisted that whoever ate his flesh and drank his blood had eternal life and whoever did not had no life in them. A 20th century chap would never say things like that. And a...
