@lukei4655 Wow. Alright so since we need you to weigh in, what is appropriate. 7 people in line and confessions are ope for a half hour. What would be inappropriate?
@Catholic_bro The wise men gave a gift of gold (many believe this was used to help fund the Holy Family in exile in Egypt) but if this gift came before the presentation they would not have given the poor family offering 2 turtledoves while holding a sack of gold
@Catholic_bro Seems like further than would be needed if it were within 40 days, but Herod is an overkill jerk, also the star returning could be a sign the were on the wrong path heading to Bethlehem and lastly (continued)
@OHPoliticalNews@FrDaveNix I agree blind obedience would be wrong, but what is the standard? How does one know which rules to be obedient to and which to disregard?
@RedDeadRisen@farmingandJesus@McBrideLawNYC I still don't see what belief you think Catholics are lacking. By finished work I assume you mean there is nothing to do except it seems believe. So if someone believes he must fast and pray he isn't saved?
@RedDeadRisen@farmingandJesus@McBrideLawNYC What do you mean believe in Jesus. Even atheist historians believe Jesus existed, in assume you mean believe that Jesus is God and He died for our sins. If so Catholics believe that. Is there more we're missing?
@RedDeadRisen@farmingandJesus@McBrideLawNYC Still, going to church was just one example of a rule. So any rule I think is true that you say isn't robs me of the grace I receive for believing Jesus is my savior?
@farmingandJesus@McBrideLawNYC Ok but their actions don't matter, it's their faith. Faith in what exactly saves, and do Catholics not have faith in that?
