I didn’t mean my age specifically, I was referring to the fact that I spent years trying to prove that there is a One God … but I failed and miserably so. Your God doesn’t dwell in my heart and my mind will not release what I have discovered and believe to be the Truth. “If this strength requires that you take up the gospel, so be it … as long as you can tell right from wrong. The truth of things can only be found in man’s heart (and brain) and requires no subjugation of our innate ability to experience and understand the world around us.”(Copied from an upcoming post “A Knight’s Tale … under movies)

That is exactly what I've done. I've tried to take those passages you gave; add info, opening up the whole picture of the Early Chruch and what the Apostles were doing at the time. 

I didn't ignore what you wrote...those passages you gave are fine, but they tell only part of the whole.

But we are to keep holy the New Covenant Sabbath.  

It's true, we are NOT under the rites and ceremonies of the OLd Mosaic Covenent, but we are still bound to keep the Ten Commandments and the Natural or Moral Law. The Third Commandment has 3 parts which the Jews were to keep all three. 

The New Covenant Christians must keep only one part of the Third Commandment, the part that has to do with the Natural or Moral law  and that's what the Apostles and the Church did. 

The answer is Scripture shows the Apostles and the early Church kept the LOrd's Day holy by worshipping Creator God on Sunday.

Even though the ceremonial laws of Moses was abrogated, we are obligated now, as was always, to worship Our Creator God. This is a precept of the Natural Law which was obeyed from the days of Adam to the days of Abraham and by the Jews themselves for 400 years before Moses brought the commandment naming a specific day for the Jews. 

The Apostles' changing from the last to the first day of the week does not change the vital and unchangeable principle of the Third Commandment to keep the Sabbath holy namely that one day in 7 shall be given to the worship of God.  We must do that. 

You keep insisting that I show the command in the NT...all the while the command is there from God in the Third Commandment which has never been abrogated. 

While the Bible does not say, "thou shalt keep holy Sunday", it does give positive evidence that Christians worshipped on the first day of the week, for they were not obliged to observe the Sabbath of the Old Law. 

But when an attempt was made to impose the Jewish Sabbath upon the convert Christians, when they were not obligated to observe it,  St.Paul wrote Gal. 5:10-11 and Col. 2:16. 

What I'm saying fits ... it fits the whole picture of the changing of the Sabbath which involves keeping holy the Lord's Day. 

FASTING. 

THIS is what you conclude from these passages?  I can't see where these passages have anything at all to do with false teachers.  

Slamming fasting and abstinence!

We've already established that there was turmoil and  difficulties between the Judaic Christians who still kept the Jewish fasts abstaining from types of food forbidden in the Old Law and Gentile Christians that didn't. St.Paul had his hands full trying to get this all worked out. That's what these passages are concerning. 

Fasting and abstaining from eating certain foods is an act of true religion as is almsgiving and prayer. Fasting and abstinence was a disciplinary act of Jewish Faith under the Old Law and is now an act of Christian Faith under the New Covenant. 

Yes, maam. 

The Church instructs the Catholic faithful to follow the example of Christ St.Matt. 6:1-6, 16-18, St.Mark, 2:20, 9:29 and the Apostles Acts. 13:2; 14:23; 2Cor. 2:27. The Didache tells us the early Christians practiced regular weekly fasts on Wednesdays and Fridays.   

Ha, ha, ha, yes you do! 

That's your agenda! 

There's adequate proof...just look in a mirror...you are the proof....God created you. He gave you life, an immortal soul, a conscience, intellect and free will.

Good point, I don't. But I do know something about spiritual warfare and that's what is being waged here. 

Some Scripture for thought...St.Matt. 16:26, "For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?" 

Also, Ephesians 6:12, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirit of wickedness in high places." 

As I've said before... our eternal destiny  is all about choices. 

I also know how old the Earth is within a couple of billion years or so how about you? I understand what it actually means to stare at the remains of a human being found in the Americas that is over 10,000 years old. Take a minute and think about that??? Have you ever actually looked at a real encyclopedia I mean beyond looking at the pretty pictures because you are too much for me? How does some of this stuff fit into your idea of the universe???

1. The estimated population of the Earth 10,000 years ago was 5,000,000 people … what’s up with this???
2. While you were chatting about Adam and Eve, the Earth was coming out of the last glacial period which ended 10,000 years ago. Guess what was happening 12, 000 years ago, hahaha???
3. Do you know they found fossilized human feces from 14,300 years ago here in good old North America???
4. 100,000 years ago the Earth was entering its last Ice Age … oh what’s the point???

None of the articles I researched seemed at all interested in your religions … but just because they state things that do not agree with your AGENDA, they too are at war with you … somehow??? Here is an article that sums up this stuff pretty well (last 100,000 years of the History of the Earth).

I am so out of here … I give up on you too.

Yes. 

Yes, what's happened in the German dioceses is very disturbing and horribly disgusting and truthfully I'm glad, really glad it's being exposed. 

All those involved are committing grave sins against the Commandments of Almighty God and dissenting from the precepts of Catholic moral teachings.

Sin has been around since the Fall of Adam and Eve. Satan is having a field day. 

Christ likened His Church to a Net. He said it would contain good fish and bad fish. So we don't condemn the whole Church for her bad fish, just as we don't condemn a whole family if one child went wrong.  

Satan is having a field day attacking Christ's priests. Some priests resist the temptations and snares of the devil and are holy and some like these are going wrong, very wrong.  I have never defended the conduct of every individual priests. 

The CC is the true Church of Christ even though not all of her individual members, priests or laity, are true to her moral teachings.
