Priestly line of Zadok was ussurped after Babylonian captivity.True Priesthood removed from Jerusalem.Hasmonean dynasty replaces Zadokite dynasty. Mary's genealogy points to Zadokite line. (The messiah could only come through the uncorrupted Zadok line.) True high priest. The Zadokite communities were in a few places in Judea. Even Mt. Carmel and at Kumran. Jesus established his priesthood and His sacrifice for the world as great High Priest. Jesus rejected as king of Israel at cross, but His acceptance as Priest and KING of the Jews will be salvation for ALL Israel.Mary related to Elizabeth priestly line. Melkizadak. Our great high priest! Glory to God in the highest!

I find it interesting that Protestants say that it is by faith alone and not by anything that we could do… however, to them baptism does nothing and should be delayed until the person decides to do it. Seems that the decision to be baptized is placing all the Grace on the person instead of what Jesus can do. It is Jesus who cleanses so it seems that we would get baptized ASAP. Baptism is like the OT circumcision and the of the presentation.

@mememe1468 2 года назад

One thing that always fascinated me about all this pre-christian thought was the approach of Mormons. It seems that protestants, in their choosing to forego history, creates the impression that the church is just some spontaneous thing that suddenly comes on the scene in 30 AD. Mormons, with the book of Mormon meant to be a kind of preservation of 1st temple thought, seem to go way too hard in trying to prove how far back certain doctrines go. For example, the use of synagogues seems to be essentially anachronistic according to how early the BoM places them in history. Though I don't see Mormonism as from God, the confidence of their scriptures to place so many things seemingly before their reasonable entrance into Jewish thought stirs up a kind of exuberance in me. How early can the catholic church go in her claims using extra-biblical sources? What about the Samaritan's ? The rabbis and sages preceding the new testament? What about the Jewish communities that didn't move back after the building of the 2nd temple? I wonder, if we could draw things from Zoroastrianism. It would be so cool to find a book or something that talks about monasticism or something in like 500 b.c. !

Your comment reminds me of a tab I have open with a video title: Purifying our Internal Senses: _Imagination_ and Memory. Obvioiusly, it is not about things supposedly hidden (hint) in the past or otherwise (cf gnostic heresy). We are prideful beyond salvation in ourselves, may Christ deliver us unto humility and save us. May we surrender to His will and cast away all that makes us stumble, even if so dear to us as our own eyes! Jesus orders us to renounce even our family for the sake of the Kingdom, and to renounce our very selves in order to follow Him? Now, for some reason, the Catechism does mention pagan worship practices and draws parallel between them and true worship. But in no way does it affirm paganism in doing so. The true faith that may or may not be emulated by pagans is available to you in its completeness in the Catholic church. There exists nothing of value that does not come from God, above all the spiritual. If I may humbly suggest, seek peace instead of excitement. I value it over excitement not in eternity only (and eternity should be our focus), but also in this world. See this short video please: /watch?v=ZkyKKpwntwI (this one is a great rule for discernment by padre Pio, that is related to the last things I said)

@andrewpearson1903 Год назад

I love to find and pick out pre-Christian anticipations of Jesus and Christianity. The early Christians found them everywhere: they said that Virgil's Fourth Eclogue was about Jesus instead of Augustus Caesar, one of the Greek oracles made a famous prophecy that turned out to be an acrostic containing the Name & roles of Jesus, and Tertullian pointed out that idols were usually supported by metal rebar in the shape of a cross. And as we expand out into the world and try to evangelize other societies with their religions and customs, we can look for more of these.

@mickieknows7712 6 месяцев назад

According to Blessed Ann Emmerich, both Mary and Joseph belonged to the Essenes as did their families. They all were praying for the soon coming of the Messiah. Mary had promised herself to God, before the angel brought to her God's request. Joseph likewise had vowed himself to God. Neither had wanted to marry, but God wanted them to have the special task of raising Jesus. They were indeed a "Holy Family."

Now I’m very puzzled about baptism or any other sacraments that are administered by the Catholic Church,and what I mean by that is can any person have the impowerment to administer sacraments just because they read the scriptures and are a member of the Catholic Church and are there for impowered to do that because they are just a member and not an ordained Bishop or Priest in the Catholic Church?

@srich7503 2 месяца назад

No. All sacraments are “normally” administered by ordained clergy only. Baptism may be administered by any confirmed Catholic but that is not normal and not advised. There are some sacraments only administered by bishops, some by bishops and priests, some by bishops, priests and deacons.

@johnchung6777 2 месяца назад

@@srich7503 thank you for your reply I really appreciate it,but I must say this that I’m still puzzled about baptism,and why I’m puzzled about it is because to me it seems clearer than daylight that Jesus only had his Apostles baptize whom Jesus gave full authority and Impowerment to them as well as John the Baptist.It’s just the way I understand it as a catholic if I’m wrong please do enlighten me thank you +++

@srich7503 2 месяца назад

@@johnchung6777 yes that is correct. Jesus only baptized His apostles. Do you think only apostles were meant to be baptized? After the resurrection, the books of Acts records (16:15 16:33; 18:8) whole households or families being baptized. Now if the idea for you about baptism is a cognitive decisive on the baptized ONLY then that is a different issue, which in Catholicism is dealt with in the sacrament of Confirmation. Many Protestants conflate the 2 from their perspectives and not from our perspective. It helps to understand our purposes of each sacraments and not conflate your understanding of your baptism on our infants. Our Baptism on our infants is not the same as what you expect.

catholic baptism doesn't save anyone. salvation is not through the catholic church's man-made false doctrines, rituals, traditions, sacraments, dogmas, ect. the bible is very clear that salvation is by faith, through grace, in Jesus Christ alone. faith comes from God the Father alone. neither salvation or faith comes from the false roman catholic church, which tries to use things like the eucharist/mass as a means of attaining both salvation and faith. the eucharist/mass is a wicked re-sacrifice of Christ, defying that Christ's death on the cross, was the final and complete sacrifice.

@@user-sd8vy1yb4r You claimed: catholic baptism doesn't save anyone.

For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” (cf. 9:17-18; 1 Corinthians 12:13: both associate the Holy Spirit with baptism) Acts 22:16 “And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.” (cf. 9:17-18) Romans 6:3-4 “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” 1 Corinthians 6:11 “And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.” Titus 3:5 “He saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit…” 1 Peter 3:21 “Baptism … now saves you …”

I was led by The LORD GOD to study the MESSIANIC Promises in Orthodox Judaism, which is what The LORD referred to when HE spoke to the Jews about HIS IDENTITY as The MESSIAH. I speak with PROOF of LIVING AN OVERCOMING life with NO FEAR (fear is a satanic spirit that can paralyze those who are ignorant of The TRUTH), healing of my body, protection and unlimited PROVISION as HE promised.
