It means when you baptize someone, speak the words "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit".

New Testament English translators are not unanimous. Here is Revelation 13:8 in tons of different English translations. https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Revelation%2013:8 "[the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world]" appears in many of them, including KJV, NIV and others, and there...

There you go again! "There are other churches" you say! Show me just one other one besides the Church and Israel! I don't confuse them. Nope.

We already know that the Body of Christ is the Church. We also know that the Church breaks bread together.

And Acts 20:28 "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." Come to think of it, this verse is also consistent with the Trinity, since the Holy Spirit...

Christ established the One Church.

It's Paul and not me who calls Christ "our Passover". Your argument appears to be with him and not with me. As you again continue to refuse to demonstrate that there's any other Church in the Bible, besides the famed "church in the wilderness", as if your position is strong. You continual...

Basically none of those things are Catholic, so you're not missing any of those things by not being Catholic. What you are missing, is the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. "...where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them", "...the Lord Jesus the...

Is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world or not? No, Paul just calls Him our Passover, so we have to look up what the Passover means, and it goes back to Exodus, where the angel of death passed over God's people. Paul says that unrepentant grave sinners should be removed from the Church.

Yes. And why does the passage say that He is sacrificed for us---why not that He was sacrificed for us? How is He our Passover, if we have to avoid being grave sinners ("fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner" 1st Corinthians 5:11 you quoted) in...

Even though intersex is horrific, your own kids having this condition might be far worse than having it yourself. In the sense of hand reading, putting opponents on a range of hands.

I mean the marriage contracts themselves, and their "married couple" legal reality. Of course we bless the individuals as people, and we wish the individual people well, we just don't wish their marriage contracts well. We can hope for them all to be dissolved /terminated /canceled /divorced.

I know

Actually it is about how the innocent priests during the pedophilia, are all also victims of violent crime, which is my answer to charges against the Church, that seems to indicate complicity with these violent criminal child raping paedophiles, who lied and deceived and hid the truth from all...

Stop it. Child rape is child rape. Oh, there are special child rapists over here, we give them special names, but they're child rapists. They're violent criminals. They're straight out of hell. Why are you trying to protect some of them.

Why did you not address pedophile child rapist step-dads at all? It's common. And incidentally, it's another reason that confirms the Church's sexual ethics, that neither homosexual offenses, nor remarriage after divorce, are licit, and both constitute grave matter. Both also happen to be...

No it doesn't. The fact is that paedophile child rapists are the most dangerous of violent criminals! They aren't above murder even! They'll easily murder to continue to hide their real predilection, which is child rape. And because of the nature of this violent crime---against...

You are.

Along with you apparently not fully appreciating that child rapist pedophiles are violent criminals (like murderers!), which is categorically different from all of us who are not violent criminals---including all non-violent-criminal homosexuals---you're also appearing to forget that another of...

btw @TomO love the Dalai Lama quote in your signature he's got another, re: homosexuality: he calls it "sexual misconduct" For me it's positive proof that the guy's a natural rights theorist, like the American founders were, although perhaps more natural law than natural rights, but saying it...
