Actually “catholic” just means universal or ubiquitous, which when the name came into vogue, it was. It’s not something with doctrinal meaning as far as I know (as a non-Catholic).

My main criticism is NOT that catholic is not in the Bible, but the nomenclature itself. The RCC should be re-named as the New and Improved Pharisees!!! For clarity’s sake.

Lest anyone be led astray and just for clarity’s sake, you’ve omitted the caveat “in my unlearned opinion”, yet again.

**not something with doctrinal meaning as far as I know **

Oh, but his has a tremendous doctrinal meaning straight from the mouth of the Bible.

“Many (All) are called, but few are chosen.”

Christ came and died for us all. You, me, the people who hate Catholics.

Christ died for the Jews, the Mexicans, the Muslims, the Lutherans, the Presbyterians, the perverts — absolutely everyone.. Christ died for EVERYONE!

But not everyone accepts him. And so few will be chosen to enter heaven.

Did you know you can talk to God anywhere you are in the world? You don't need a phone number either. The early Church was Christian Jews. Look for Messianic Jewish Synagogues in your neighborhood.

So you’re a messianic Jew yourself?

NYer,

Thank you for posting this reflection by Dr. D’Ambrosio. The story of Martha & Mary and their reactions to Jesus’ visit has become a favorite of mine; it reminds me of where and when to focus.

“Mary thought that the supreme compliment that she could pay to her divine guest, even more than world-class refreshments, was to give him her full attention. The fullness of truth had come to her home to nourish, enlighten, and transform her.”

As Christians, we all must remember that we follow Jesus; we must not be distracted by doctrinal disputes and trivialities over things such as “is the KGV Bible” better than the “Douray” or perhaps only reading it in the original Greek. Jesus is our center and h
His sacrifice is the gift of salvation He have us.

Marantha.

It starts out with “I once got a harsh letter from a Baptist lady” and then to we all know “catholic” isn’t in the Bible, it went downhill from there. I merely suggested a name improvement . . .

Odd, that the thread discussing baptists would immediately get hijacked, eh?

Good morning. Odd that people have a dislike for Messianic Jews when that is exactly what Jesus and the Disciples were. Odd that a church would name itself something with no association with the Bible. At least New and Improved Pharisees!! has a Biblical connection.

Are you, or are you not a messianic Jew?

Why do I think you are always trying to trap me? What’s with all of the personal questions instead of theological ones? What do you care what where I go or what I call myself? Do you have a problem with Messianic Jews?
