A priest is literally a mediator between God and men.

Someone here once said you can't be persuaded or convinced to believe two times two is five, or something like that. There isn't any place for convincing, not when you know 2 + 2 = 4 You might under duress testify falsely that 2 + 2 = 5, but only under duress. And if you're under constant...

So the throne of David is invisible rn? I mean nobody's currently sitting on the throne, but it exists somehow, invisibly? but still really? Or are you only saying that in the future the throne of David will be in Jerusalem, but it's not there rn? Is anybody sitting on the throne of David rn...

We celebrate Pentecost but I don't know without checking¹ if that's like Easter and always on a Sunday. I think it might be. It's 40 days from passover, right? No it's 50. Our Lord ascended in 40 days, and then at 50 days the Holy Spirit incited the Apostles (except for Paul–not yet, not...

Is Mid Acts addictive or not? Why? What would one miss, if Mid Acts is wrong? I mean to say, if Mid Acts is wrong, then how could it be profitable to study a thing that's wrong? I mean, why study Marxism? You don't need to get really familiar with Marxism, because it's wrong. You're not...

That doesn't enter into it. We're talking about whether a doctrine is true. Unless you're suggesting you have firsthand proof that the Real Presence is false? And how could you? We're all Catholics on my side, and none of us has this elusive evidence you're suggesting you have, which...

There's woke capture everywhere then, woke has captured the whole World then. As in there are no exceptions. Even a little bit of woke which exists in every wife or husband, every politician, every boss, means their organization (organizations simpliciter are organizations of offices) is...

There is no conflict. Not under my lexical stance (Roman Catholicism simpliciter, Papal Catholicism simpliciter), and while my lexical stance may be different than yours, it is a valid stance. I have a right to it. I no longer think Evangelicals have a right to their lexical stance. They...

If the throne of David is the whole World's crown or monarchy, then wouldn't the Apostle's thrones also govern parts of the whole World too? How do you constitute a government with multiple thrones which all cooperate and never conflict? The Twelve submit to the Lord, it must be. It's not...

We are moral equals (such as we are equals before the law or under the law, of Christ or of the land, which means we have the same rights), and also there are traditional offices reserved just for men and just for women and just for eunuchs, that go back thousands of years and have always been...

I always thought it meant that their kingdom was freely available to them, but it wasn't attained through works of the Old Law because it's the New Covenant, and plus they had to share. With Gentiles. That made them jealous, especially "certain men which came down from Judaea". Not just...

Christ's.

I believe that, but in order to prove it, you're going to quote 1st John Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is...

The keys of the kingdom are associated with David's throne in Isaiah 22:22, "And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open." The power to bind and loose is associated with the seat of Moses, "For they...

So where is it.

Yes really. Miracle. It begins with literally consuming Him. The Eucharist being only symbolic, only a remembrance, is novelty in Church history, only seriously countenanced after the Reformation in the 1500s. Before that, only by heretics. Impossible to literally consume Jesus and do...

That's what I said. Says you. And the Scriptures you quote are consonant with Roman or Papal Catholicism. Disagreed. We literally consume Jesus. You could conceive of greater intimacy, but consuming Someone is certainly top tier intimacy. Who? Agreed that Hebrews claims the Old...

Elaborate. I see no conflict in these quotes.

I did. What do you think his primary point is? I already set out what I took him to mean, which is the same reasoning that could also deem Christ's divinity and Resurrection spiritual, symbolic, or metaphoric.

Where?
