Watching The Catholic Church stuff

[PostmodernProphet]

Atheists

I can't comment on how atheists think, because they don't.......

How "royal" do Catholic clerics look during the Easter season when they are on their hands and knees washing the feet of congregants?

I've never seen Queen Elizabeth wash commoners' feet.

do bishops still wear their red hats when they do that?........

Here's the current Pope, then as a cardinal.



Can we find any similar humbling postures demonstrated by Rev. Jeremiah Wright?

I don't think there's a rule a about it. Does washing feet, even with a skullcap on, still look royal to you? And anyway, how are skullcaps regal? You must *REALLY* hate Jews.


/grins.... so where's the pic of Jeremiah Wright washing feet?

literally washing somebody's feet is sorta silly - and probably at odds with the illustration in the Bible.

Today's equivolent of washing somebody's feet is probably taking out their trash, buying their Latte, or shoveling their driveway. The point is more important than the act.

I disagree, and nearly 2000 years of ecclesiastical review backs me up, and disagrees with you and your Monday thru Saturday roach exterminator and Sunday storefront church pastor.

However, in the spirit of Christian brotherhood, I will accept photos of Reverend Wright taking out peoples' trash, buying their latte, or shoveling out their driveway.

I wait with great anticipation.

If Pope Francis is true to his word in this article, then it will more true than ever that that which joins us, is far greater than that which separates us. I really wish Christians would keep that in mind when insulting each others' denominations.

I actually know someone who is an exterminator, and preaches on Sundays. He also happens to be one of the most devout Christians I know, and a very good preacher.

I wouldn't dream of arguing otherwise.

Just as I am sure you wouldn't dream of arguing that his sermons have the historical insight and intimate knowledge of Christianity and its events that the Vatican does.

Protestantism unfortunately lives and dies with the published Bible. If God was dead, that would be a perfectly acceptable approach. But He lives.

Considering this is God's Word, there is no better guide to following Him. If you do not believe it is God's word, then you should not call yourself a Christian.

Wise words by you Abbey.

I have a few words that I hope also are called wise words.

Religions can unify. When they fight, they are not trying to unify. I do not accept that there are the Gods of Catholics, Gods of Mormons, Gods of Baptists, et. al.

The same God or Gods, (since it makes no sense for God to be party to restricting his type to but one, when even Jesus is proof he has more than one God,) created what we all enjoy.

Take my church for instance. We do not worship the Pope nor call him infallible. But it is my belief the man does holy work. so, why can't others grant our church president the same accord?

It is not atheists dividing religion, it is religion.

your Monday thru Saturday roach exterminator and Sunday storefront church pastor.

There is but one God, the father of Jesus Christ the Savior of the world.....That is the God of Abraham..
All others are false as is the main one called --Allah-- by it's cultified brainwashed members..-Tyr

act
/grins....did I just hear a Mormon complaining about Catholic "mumbo jumbo stuff"?...........

You have to remember he hasnt been going to church in a long time.

If Pope Francis is true to his word in this article, then it will more true than ever that that which joins us, is far greater than that which separates us. I really wish Christians would keep that in mind when insulting each others' denominations.

We should be uniting more. There is no point to insult one another's chosen faith.

Actually, you admit to at least 2 GODs. If you are correct, Jesus is a false GOD.

I don't think that is correct. I think some confusion is over what GOD amounts to.

But back then, it was FALSE GODS that were not to be worshiped. We Mormons will not worship a false GOD of any sort. Allah only means GOD.

Jehovah Witness only call GOD Jehovah so to them, a lot of people get it wrong.

Notice many Christians allege even the Bible is to not be taken literally and is chock full of valuable lessons.

A reason for that idea in my opinion rests on the idea that things said in the Bible are in conflict.

You have to remember he hasnt been going to church in a long time.

His complaint was that someone complained about Catholic mumbo jumbo.

That is not me. I never spoke that way about Catholics.
