I agree that some things in the liturgies appear to have their roots* in the old covenant ceremonies and rites and some appear to have their roots* in the synagogue practises of the first century of the Christian era. Christian baptism has its roots in the baptism of saint John the Baptist and...
Jesus is of the tribe of Judah and no high priest of the old (and abrogated) covenant was of that tribe. Satan plays no role in redeeming the faithful from their sins - not even the role of a scapegoat.
I know my family roots and none to my knowledge are in rabbinic Judaism. Not that it would matter if there were some such roots since I am a Christian and not a rabbinic Jew so mikvahs have no religious significance for me.
Consider carefully, on the great feast of atonement the sins were placed on the scape goat while the sacrificial lamb remained spotless.So the lamb of God offered for the sins of the world remains spotless and sinless even though he is the atonement for our sins. The Day of Atonement

The Lord knew no sin in fact it is said of him that he did not sin so for the Blessed Father to look upon him who knew no sin would be right and proper. Is it not written in the law that the one who sins will himself die? Is it not true that the Lord died on behalf of sinners but was not himself...
Saint John the Baptist's baptism was not Christian baptism and the Lord Jesus Christ was not baptised into union with himself since he was always in full communion with the Blessed Trinity being himself God. His baptism was a sign and testimony to God's great work of redemption in the person of...
Yes, the name revealed by the Lord Jesus Christ who always knew how to pronounce the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit which in generations past was not know but in the last days is revealed to the faithful through our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is only in a heretical turn of mind that "mother of God" implies "mother of the Holy Trinity" but in a faithful mind the title tells the story of the incarnation that God became man thus being true God and true man in one person.
What God always planned and accomplished is redemption by the costly sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Moses was a shadow of his glory. Moses was great and glorious but he was like the childhood school's lessons and masters while Christ is the inheritance of adulthood.
There is a law written in the hearts of the faithful but it is not exactly like the laws of Moses and it does not save their souls but rather helps to purify them as the grace of God through the gift of the holy Spirit works in them to accomplish God's good purposes. But it is a new law that is...
The pentagram was a Christian symbol before it ever became associated with Satan and Satanism. It represented the five wounds of Christ. But times and opinions change and make good things appear to be evil. That is how Satan has always worked; by corrupting the good with his lies thus making it...
The holy scriptures tell us that the law is abolished, "For he is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making...
