Madam, it's that his office opens a portal between Heaven and Earth, piercing the veil which hides and separates and distinguishes Heaven from Earth. Opening a portal between Heaven and Earth, piercing that veil, cannot be done by a man, no man has that power. So it's Christ, and it must be...

You might be right, and the Real Presence might be wrong, but under no circumstance am I even possibly undervaluing the symbolism, if I'm taking Him wooden literally. That's absolutely impossible, that doesn't make any sense. If anything because I, in your view, err, in believing in the the...

So you think Christ, seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven rn, is there sitting on David's throne? You're saying David's ontological, literal throne rn is at the right hand of the Father, and Jesus is CURRENTLY sitting on David's throne? Because that's one of the main reasons Mid...

Quoting @Derf "Matthew 16:18 KJV — And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." And (this follows something else He just said) I say also (again, He's adding to something He's already told them)...

Jeremiah 33 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. 16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called...

Yes, I think that's the broadest point of Hebrews. That the Old has gone and the New has come, is the Catholic paradigm. But I think Mid Acts agrees with this anyway, Mid Acts takes Hebrews to be concerning the then (under Mid Acts) active New Covenant. (They believe it was put on hold, but...

I drove the Tesla.

Yes, again, that's what Roman Catholicism believes and teaches as well. Right, they are not sacerdotal, they don't preside over the offering of any physical sacrifice. But remember Romans 15:16, and also Romans 12:1, where offerings are mentioned. Offerings are offered by priests, in some...

And @Lon what I mean is that Roman Catholicism opens up the Psalms entirely to me as well, not just the New Testament. As I'm sure you know or remember, there's always a Psalm every Mass, but the real reason the Psalms are opened up is because we know to read them, whenever David is writing of...

It's also unsurprising under Catholicism. That's how theologies die, because they are shown to either be incoherent, or to explain far less than it appears to. === @Lon one of the things I love about Roman Catholicism is that I get to read the whole New Testament coherently. It's like the...

And I know the left's retort here, it is about all those things, but in context. Being, geography, and time duration. In the wrong place at the wrong time, it matters that it's raining instead of not raining. It should be raining here and now, but it is not, and that is what they say. Spring...

You said "Only" Priest. I gave an abundance of Scriptures which show there is more than one in the New Covenant, though there remains One High Priest. No but Romans 15:16 is intriguing, have you studied the Greek? That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the...

Paul doesn't, Hebrews does: But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy...

Well said. Well done. :e4e:

I know the rule and I'm breaking it, Thou shalt not quote the Old Testament or the New Testament except for Paul (if you do, do not pass Go and do not collect 200 dollars; go directly to jail), but since I'm only addressing your precise point here and not MAD in general: Isaiah 61:6 - But ye...

False dichotomy. We embrace both Apostolic tradition, which is Apostolic teaching by word of mouth, and Scripture, which is Apostolically approved. iow the Scripture itself, its table of contents, the canon of Scripture, is Apostolic. We use the same Bible the Apostles did. Isn't He here...

And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

How do you know it's a figure of speech? Can you prove it without presupposing Mid Acts Dispensationalism is true?

So the keys of the kingdom of Heaven has to do with the throne of David? I don't remember using the word "continuation", maybe I did. All I remember saying is the New Covenant fulfills and amends the Old, and that both the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and Gentiles, have...

How is it blasphemy to believe that it is our One High Priest Jesus Christ Who actually, ontologically and mystically does the baptizing when someone gets baptized? How is that blasphemy? Are you saying baptism is diabolic or something? How could any liturgy, priestly work, be validly done...
