    The unwritten mysteries of the church.

    amadeois, Jesus is represented in the holy scriptures as the Truth as well as the Way and the Life. Yet Jesus wrote not one word in the new testament scriptures. His Truth is more than words. It is deeds and power in the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus Christ is present in the Catholic Church as...

    Marian Apparitions

    I've never seen an angel, spirit, or Blessed Mary in vision, dream, or face to face so I have no experience from which to form an opinion all I can go on is what the people who have claimed experiences of Blessed Mary have said or written and that seems to be a mixed testimony to me. Some say...

    My Choice for President

    Whoever is chosen in the November 2016 presidential election will be chosen by the majority of voters who turn out to vote on that day. Christians ought to pray for a good and godly outcome. Providentially the one whom God intends to be president will become president. But I urge prayer that...

    When people doubt that the Holy Spirit is at work

    The scriptural promise that the Holy Spirit would guide the faithful into all truth is couched in plural language. It is not a promise that individuals will be led into all truth. It promises that the whole body of the faithful will be led into all truth. It's corporate leading that the Lord...

    An objective look into "the sinners prayer"

    I think, after carefully reading @Aithis' post, that he is not referring "the sinner's prayer" to the Catholic Church but only presenting his credentials as a writer who has no respect for anything that he deems unbiblical. Only what he deems biblical is to be entertained as true. Others see...

    The unwritten mysteries of the church.

    This thread's title comes from the quote contained in the first post in the thread. Saint Basil (the great) mentions the unwritten mysteries of the Church as including the confession of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as one God in Trinity who is worshipped in unity by all the faithful in the...

    The unwritten mysteries of the church.

    It may be a mistake to reply to the claims implied in your post but they are so profoundly unchristian and inaccurate as to make a reply useful for the edification of the faithful who read this thread. Firstly your words imply that Emperor Constantine founded the Catholic Church. This is...

    The unwritten mysteries of the church.

    I do not think that the pagan abuses in the temple bear any relationship to Jehovah's arrangements regarding worship in ancient Israel. Christ is called the Sun of Righteousness and his rising is connected to healing the faithful; it is significant that the sun of righteousness rises implying...

    The unwritten mysteries of the church.

    I live in Australia and Jerusalem would be north-west for me. Nevertheless the practise in Catholic Church buildings has been to have the Altar with the tabernacle on the east wall so that the congregation faces east during the liturgy. This practise is no longer strictly adhered to. My own...

    7 Things that God hates

    Pro 6:16-19 [16] Six things there are that the Lord hates, and the seventh, his soul detests: [17] haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, [18] a heart that devises the most wicked thoughts, feet running swiftly unto evil, [19] a deceitful witness bringing forth...

    Thursday, 23rd June 2016 I hope some kindly person will take over the daily light thread for a while. This will be my last post. Morning I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, even the Spirit of truth. John 14:16, 17 It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I...

    Interpretation.

    Only a very few monks live in the deserts of North Africa and Arabia where camels are to be found. As far as I know a monk's habit is made from wool or cotton - nowadays I would not be surprised if synthetic fibres were used.

    Birth control

    Seems that in many cases the motive for using artificial contraception is to stop a child from being conceived.
