@CatholicCassie Unfortunately, you may be right: “Wide is the gate and broad is the way hat leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.” - Matthew 7:13
@WonderWomaNinja @TheDinch2 Wait so it’s not the phrase or the song itself but the church who wrote it and their imperfect theology that repulses you? Maybe read Christ’s parable in Luke 18:10-14 and don’t stop until you’re moved to repentence?
@WonderWomaNinja Context of the song aside (word for word priestly blessing from Numbers 6:24-26), do you hate Romans 8:31, Philippians 4:19, or even Jeremiah 29:11 too? It is YOU who should repent for focusing on the “you” in this phrase instead of God - the “He” it begins with!
@Mollyploofkins The brilliance of Trump is his ability to say one thing, mean something that is generally covered by his statement, and liberals lose their minds and waste weeks arguing his original statement while simultaneously ignoring the fact there’s an election in November. Such losers.
@catholicpat Well, let's see....
Papacy in John? Nope.
Cardinals in John? Nope.
Priests in John? Nope.
Seven sacraments in John? Nope.
Marian dogmas in John? Nope.
I guess the idea must be, "Well, our a-contextual reading of John 6 must be enough."
