By gentiles???! Ceremony and tradition can do good things. Mormons don't have hospitals or other charity work of this nature. Keep at it. You have to if you are on this site. I may look like one to someone I help, but if it all doesn't point back to them seeing Jesus and me stepping...

It isn't that you don't read scriptures. It is that you don't willy nilly apply Hebrews, for instance, directly but through the proper filter: Written to Hebrews about a very specific problem. When I read it as 'my mail': I read that wholly wrong when applied to my gentile lenses. I...

So that's a 'no' on even looking at a Tesla? 🤔

It is like "God" in a sense. I tell atheists they didn't make themselves and so undoubtedly have a 'god' meaning creator. It is a starting point. Similarly, while it 'screams priest' to you, we have but one, only one. Hence, in Protestant Evangelical circles: Minister with a much...

Well, realize you've already test driven, before you became Mid Acts ;) (it helps in conversations to remember when we/you were that guy). It also helps if another will entertain your/my perspectives. I've gotten so much more out of TOL conversations simply test-driving Mid Acts (might be...

They do. There is no such thing as a 'transgender.' Science/medicine is able to make someone 'less' than they were born, but simply doesn't work. We've no way to actually 'help' someone change gender. I told one of our residentials long gone from TOL that it was impossible. I can call...

Note the Mid Acts Tesla for your consideration: Test drive it if nothing else. You'll appreciate the test drive even if you don't want one.

No/yes: He is wound tightly and really doesn't like to have to repeat (sorry Clete, I know, but it is necessary in conversation and actually does really good emphasis work). He has upped his patience gifts dramatically! I love this guy after I figured this out. Its his personality and...

Romans 8:26-27 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in...

Correct, in that, the rest of this is for Israel who had priests (see Right Divider's objection just above). Note two things with me according or prior conversation 1) Only Hebrews have a Priest. In Mid Acts, we do have the sacrifice, but Christ Himself ministers to all His work effectually...

He is yet our intercessor, but I understand the need for the precision here.

Okay, let me do analogy: "I don't like Tesla." "You should drive one." Does it mean go out and buy it? No. It does mean you'll appreciate a quiet ride. It does mean you'll appreciate not buying gas. It does mean you'll see all the luxuries. Is it 'bad' to drive a Tesla...

Try "Only" Priest.

Agree, yet we are His creation. God is good. If a Lego is bad, we tend to toss them. Such isn't unloving. I may even try desperately to fix it, first. I threw away a crescent wrench that rusted today. It about killed me (love tools, tried to fix it for 3 days).

This one is going to be blunt because you are forcing me. No, I never believed I was a cannibal. Today you'll be happy to learn it is denied me 0.o The Catholics started with a fantasy idea of what Christ was doing at the last supper. I'm going to hit your church hard in a minute and you...

Yet your language has only hints of grasping that perspective? For me? It is very simple to grasp the framework and it does help one isolate/separate ideas very well. I've been called Mid Acts, not sure if I am wholly at this point, but I do appreciate the perspective. Election tends to...

Notice the verbs. Interesting thoughts.

I'll keep it in my thoughts... The only weird thing is that it is indeed scripture. It is perhaps a desire to have Apostleship on its veracity. It is well written thus any who see it as a masterful book would go fairly quickly to Paul for its excellence, with the stamp of Apostleship...

Yet still, entertain the Mid Acts position as you hold to 2nd Acts. It helps, even if eschewed. Its study is informative and profitable.

No. I've been Catholic. This says a lot, about you and Catholics, are in fact desirous to be Catholics. There is no literal eating of flesh. The disciples didn't become cannibals! Next, there is no benefit even to your flesh to espouse the ridiculous. I left Catholicism far behind...
