Hi. My name is Bridget. Was married on my birthday, so I would not have to celebrate my birthday. I'm pretty much like gluten-free, boring and tasteless.

@CranRD1707 @RScottClark It is the same attitude held by my own mother (a RC, pre-vatican II) who said this after the child sex abuse scandal broke, “Well, these poor Priests had to take a vow of celibacy! And, that is so hard for anyone. What do you expect them to do?"

[lil'b73 @lilB73]

@CranRD1707 @RScottClark that if they have a girlfriend, they need to get married to avoid raping her because of lust. (As IF this makes open access to someone else’s body "biblically", doing what the male wants, now fine & good) I really felt as if I stepped into in a sick-bizarro world, black-hole.

(paraphrasing) "If all the Presbyters were to die suddenly at once, there would STILL be the invisible church, the building of the Kingdom, because Christ..... " If this comforts or offends, when one is an office bearer that is the question.:)

Consider how Jesus corrects the Socinian/rationalist view of Nicodemus (John 3) by pointing to His Kingly and Priestly office, because the main concern was that “sin” is merely an aberration of the intellect (a not knowing properly and a need to get it right),

My favorite of Vos, who once quipped (as I did once as well in a conversation with teaching Elder who was demanding that I trust alone in His judgment for ruling, if I didn't, I didn't love Jesus, despite the flagrant leavening in the church):

[lil'b73 @lilB73]

by inducing minds to create, incorporate, accept and believe separate views/perspectives of our own? ? Jesus was not a founder of a “new religion or way to practice life”.

(breadth covering beginning to end) to make its whole historic movement converge and terminate upon Himself; then, WHY in the heck are we modern (reformed/presbys) trying to rewrite (or allow), reconfigure history against our Savior,
