I spent quite a bit of time writing the last response -- probably 2hrs. My sons asked me some questions, and I got a phone call. I apologise for my writing being disjointed.

Your comentary was refering to the comentary you and quoted from. And you had another post that was a had a quote from tertullian.

The huge thing about commentaries was me trying to be helpful. Sin I don't know you I was guessing that you regularly used them -- I did about 25 years ago. I would sit 4-5 side by side and I became disturbed by the sharp disagreements between them on simple texts.

At the time I had though they would have all contained the same things just differect levels of depth and expertise.

I see that all that was unescessary

Anyway if we step back a few posts I want to look again at the prayers offered and try to tie them in with scripture a little

The Didache contains much of the same good advice, for living a Godly life, that the NT does. I had to laugh a little at one line that i don't recall reading anywhere in the New Testament. Chapter 1:6 - "Let thine money sweat into thine hands until thou knowest to whom thou art giving."

I appreciate the time you've taken to answer my posts. Your writing was not disjointed. You covered several topics (easy to do on these threads!)...and I just wasn't sure that you got my main point regarding the eucharist in the Didache versus eucharist in the New Testament. Most of what's in the Didache appears to be pretty much the same good advice for living a Godly life that we read in the NT.

Happy New Year to you and yours.
