God's will can only be accomplished through BEING IN CHRIST's PRESENCE
i heard somewhere that the souls in Purgatory are also in the tabernacles in the Catholic Churches.. I totally believe this even tho haven't substantiated it w/ a priest or bishop yet. IT stands to reason that they would be in His Real PResence in order to expiate their sins (which have been forgiven). The stain left by sin must be removed... and again... best way 4 that to happen is in Christ's Real Presence
This will probably be a mistake but what the heck...
If it can be shown that in one instance biblically that your opening statement is false then wouldn't mean that your conclusion based on it is also false?
"If you repent so I restore you, you shall stand in my presence. If you bring forth the precious and not the vile, you will be my mouth piece. Then it will be they who turn to you and not you to them and I will make you like a solid wall of brass to this people. They will fight against you but they will not prevail for I am with you to deliver you. I will rescue you from the hand of the wicked and keep you from the grasp of the violent".
I can see you misunderstand where Gods presence is.
"No one knows the son except the Father and no one knows the Father except the son and whoever the son wishes to reveal Him."

Quote:
where does it mention that the Messiah will be born in Nazareth?
It doesn't! The Messiah Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem as was prophesied.
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting" (Micah 5:2).
"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem" (Matthew 2:1).
Many people were confused because Jesus was raised in Nazareth and assumed he was born there. They knew scripture read that the Messiah would be born/come from Bethlehem.
"Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?" (John 7:40-42).

Aren't you really going out on a dangerous heretical limb here? Shouldn't you have checked with Mother Church first? After all you can't be allowed to think for yourself, that isn't in the spirit of Roman Totalitarian Fascist Catholicism.
Maybe it's just as well they changed the name of the Inquisition and they can no longer get away with torturing people as obviously as they did in the past.
How you can treat such fantasy nonsense so earnestly is in itself quite impressive.
Still, people believe in homeopathy and alien abductions too...

"Matthew claims that Jesus' birth in Bethlehem fulfils this prophecy. But this is unlikely since
1. "Bethlehem Ephratah" in Micah 5:2 refers not to a town, but to a clan: the clan of Bethlehem, who was the son of Caleb's second wife, Ephrathah (1 Chr.2:18, 2:50-52, 4:4).
2. The prophecy (if that is what it is) does not refer to the Messiah, but rather to a military leader, as can be seen from verse 5:6. This leader is supposed to defeat the Assyrians, which, of course, Jesus never did. "
