Jeremiah 16. The Vatican and all Religions. 16The word of the Lord came to me: 2You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place (The Christian Disobedient Religions). 3For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place (Where the Disobedient Reside) and concerning the mothers who bear them and the fathers who beget them in this land: 4They shall die of deadly diseases. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried; they shall become like dung on the surface of the ground. They shall perish by the sword and by famine, and their dead bodies shall become food for the birds of the air and for the wild animals of the earth. 5 For thus says the Lord: Do not enter the house of mourning, or go to lament, or bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people (Professed Believers in God), says the Lord, my steadfast love and mercy. 6Both great and small shall die in this land (Where believers reside); they shall not be buried, and no one shall lament for them; there shall be no gashing, no shaving of the head for them. 7No one shall break bread for the mourner, to offer comfort for the dead; nor shall anyone give them the cup of consolation to drink for their fathers or their mothers. 8You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink. 9For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I am going to banish from this place (RELIGIOUS NATIONS), in your days and before your eyes, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom (Dick Yuengling Jr. ) and the voice of (Carolyn Ghavam-Yuengling). 10 And when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, ‘Why has the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’ 11then you shall say to them: It is because your ancestors (Father's and grandparent's sons and daughters) have forsaken me (your Lord) says the Lord, and have gone after other gods (women and men, money, statues, relics: mammon) and have served and worshipped them, and have forsaken me (your true God) and have not kept my law; 12and because you have behaved worse than your ancestors, for here you are, every one of you, following your stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me. 13Therefore I will hurl you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your ancestors have known (homosexuality, bankruptcy, and/or gang rapes), and there you shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favour. 14 Therefore, the days are surely coming, says the Lord, when it shall no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives who brought the people of Israel up out of the land of Egypt’, 15but ‘As the Lord lives who brought the people of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the lands where he had driven them.’ For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their ancestors. 16 I am now sending for many fishermen, says the Lord, and they shall catch them; and afterwards I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks. 17For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my presence, nor is their iniquity concealed from my sight. 18And I will sevenfold repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations, thus says the Lord God of Hosts 19 O Lord, my strength and my stronghold, my refuge on the day of trouble, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the earth and say: Our ancestors have inherited nothing but lies, worthless things in which there is no profit. 20 Can mortals make for themselves gods?

"In Italy from pieces of the true cross and the nails that pierced our Lord leed me to believe it was fifty feet high and nails used upwards of keg ." Mark Twain
@Fran R. In 1870, Charles Rohault de Fleury examined this polemical claim of Calvin that a "ship load" of relics of the True Cross were scattered around the world. He drew up a catalogue of all known relics of the True Cross showing that, in spite of what various authors have claimed, the fragments of the Cross brought together again would not reach one-third that of a cross which has been supposed to have been three or four metres (9.8 or 13.1 feet) in height, with transverse branch of two metres (6.6 feet) wide, proportions not at all abnormal. He calculated: supposing the Cross to have been of pine-wood (based on his microscopic analysis of the fragments) and giving it a weight of about seventy-five kilogrammes, we find the original volume of the cross to be 0.178 cubic metres (6.286 cubic feet). The total known volume of known relics of the True Cross, according to his catalogue, amounts to approximately 0.004 cubic metres (0.141 cubic feet), or about 2% of what the original Cross might have been. [Source: Wikipedia] This is not to deny that there are fakes, of course. Even if they are bits of the Cross discovered by Helena, one could challenge whether that was truly the Cross of our Lord. But Calvin's claim is not a serious criticism or proof of anything. Still less Mark Twain's silly jibe. Such nonsense should not be given credence.
Oh, c'mon now, John. That bishop was NOT duly consecrated--at least by the Catholic Church's understanding. Sounds that you're trying to have it both ways. (Which is hardly characteristic of your journalism.) As you yourself said, Anglican holy orders have been officially regarded as invalid since 1896. I'll admit that the "Fake" remark was rude, but yes, the Rt. Rev. gentleman in question who offered his liturgy at the Lateran Basilica WAS simulating the celebration by a Catholic sacramental understanding. Their rite of the Holy Eucharist is to a great extent interchangeable with the modern Roman Rite and the bishop did (and does) NOT possess valid apostolic succession. So yes, it was an invalid Eucharist celebrated in a Catholic Basilica (and a Major Basilica which also is the Cathedral of the Pope of Rome, to boot)! And you're right, it never should have happened. Who in the world authorized this absurdity? The Archpriest of the basilica? His dean or the Cathedral Chapter??
That divorced freemason bishop and all his majority active homosexual ministers, play acting whilst on holiday at the altar of the Bishop of Rome for some selfies. Why are you being soo difficult Charles?
Even EWTN reported that it was an Anglican liturgy wrongly permitted in the Basilica. No claim to masquerading. We all understand Anglican is not Catholic. Give us lay Catholics credit for knowing the difference.
I'm not being difficult. I'm simply making a doctrinal and liturgical conclusion. You're free Jim to make your observations--valid or not, as they might be--but they're beside the point I made.
@@charlesurban3230 I was actually agreeing with the point you made. These 50 Anglican ministers (self-described Anglo-catholic) from the Fulham area of London are well known as is the reason they declined to join the Ordinariate as so many High Anglicans did because of Benedict. They are infamously liberal in a very practical sense with same sex relationships which would have to stop to be in communion with Rome. Moreover as undisputed facts, the bishop was/is a freemason and has not denounced it when he became a bishop (even the Anglican Church has problems with freemasonry) and he is divorced.
A freemason divorced Anglican bishop concelebrates a non-catholic mass at the Papal Altar of the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran, the cathedral see of the bishop of Rome, with lotsa photos on social media but hey who cares it wasn't a fake mass and he wasn't a fake bishop according to John. These Anglicans are not consecrated priests recognised by the Church whilst no visiting Catholic bishop or priest would get permission to say a latin rite mass there. It's an insult to the Ordinariate as well as to Roman Catholics. The excuse given is quite frankly silly. The same crew of Anglicans had an audience with pope Francis earlier the same day it now turns out..... Did they tell him they were going to desecrate his altar a little later in the day for a photo op to crap on their former brothers now in the Ordinariate when they got home? Did Pope Francis suggest they join the Ordinariate or did he say you guys are cool and isn't Justin Welby so sweet to active homosexuals? You must be so proud of him! I wish i could do the same but the pharisees are rife in my church! Thank God for John Allen defending me.... So a real story belittled whilst a non-story is manufactured about Elon Musk and papal infallibility in typical John Allen contortionist fashion

“Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.

religions that bow before statues and icons, a practice forbidden by God’s Word. The significance God places upon it is reflected in the fact that the first of the Ten Commandments refers to idolatry: “You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me” (Exodus 20:3-5).
And, yet the Hebrews were told to look at a staff with a snake on it for healing. Bowing down to a statue can be seen as worship if you think it is a god. Bowing down to a statue to show respect for who they were/are is not worship. Seek to understand the faith instead of projecting your own misconceptions about it. Helpful resource: Catholic Answers Live on TH-cam and EWTN
@Nancy Lucas God commanded Moses not to make “any carved image” (Ex. 20:4), lest it be used as an idol. Yet here Moses was commanded to “make a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole.” Later, the people worshiped this very image (2 Kings 18:4). Does not God command Moses to violate the very command He gave him against idolatry? First of all, the command against making “carved images” was a command against making idols. God did not command Moses to make an idol for the people to worship but a symbol to which they could look in faith and be healed. Later, the people made this symbol into an idol. But this does not make the symbol wrong. After all, people have worshipped the Bible. This does not mean that the Bible was intended by God as an idol, but to worship it is idolatry. So the ungodly nature of the Hebrews meant they turned the serpent into an idol. It was not made to worship. The same today carved images in churches of Mary and Saints. They were people, prophets, and follows of christ but were all sinners. Once turned into images, they become idols to bow to, kiss, bless, and are used in worship. That is idolatry. God bless you.
@@27steve People misinterpret, misconstrue and fail to understand what others are doing or have done. Although mind-reading is clearly ridiculous people imagine others motives or world-view almost as a matter of course. Statues, stained glass images and paintings aren't gods or idols. They are art and hopefully transcendent art and the image is clearly but the representation of the subject of worship or veneration. As is the cross. It is the most recognisable icon in the Western World. Although CocaCola might give it a run for the money.

10 And when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, ‘Why has the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’ 11then you shall say to them: It is because your ancestors (Father's and grandparent's sons and daughters) have forsaken me (your Lord) says the Lord, and have gone after other gods (women and men, money, statues, relics: mammon) and have served and worshipped them, and have forsaken me (your true God) and have not kept my law; 12and because you have behaved worse than your ancestors, for here you are, every one of you, following your stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me. 13Therefore I will hurl you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your ancestors have known (homosexuality, bankruptcy, and/or gang rapes), and there you shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favour.
14 Therefore, the days are surely coming, says the Lord, when it shall no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives who brought the people of Israel up out of the land of Egypt’, 15but ‘As the Lord lives who brought the people of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the lands where he had driven them.’ For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their ancestors.
16 I am now sending for many fishermen, says the Lord, and they shall catch them; and afterwards I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks. 17For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my presence, nor is their iniquity concealed from my sight. 18And I will sevenfold repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations, thus says the Lord God of Hosts

You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me” (Exodus 20:3-5).
And, yet the Hebrews were told to look at a staff with a snake on it for healing. Bowing down to a statue can be seen as worship if you think it is a god. Bowing down to a statue to show respect for who they were/are is not worship. Seek to understand the faith instead of projecting your own misconceptions about it.

@Nancy Lucas God commanded Moses not to make “any carved image” (Ex. 20:4), lest it be used as an idol. Yet here Moses was commanded to “make a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole.” Later, the people worshiped this very image (2 Kings 18:4). Does not God command Moses to violate the very command He gave him against idolatry?
First of all, the command against making “carved images” was a command against making idols. God did not command Moses to make an idol for the people to worship but a symbol to which they could look in faith and be healed. Later, the people made this symbol into an idol. But this does not make the symbol wrong. After all, people have worshipped the Bible. This does not mean that the Bible was intended by God as an idol, but to worship it is idolatry.
So the ungodly nature of the Hebrews meant they turned the serpent into an idol. It was not made to worship.
The same today carved images in churches of Mary and Saints. They were people, prophets, and follows of christ but were all sinners. Once turned into images, they become idols to bow to, kiss, bless, and are used in worship. That is idolatry. God bless you.
@@27steve People misinterpret, misconstrue and fail to understand what others are doing or have done. Although mind-reading is clearly ridiculous people imagine others motives or world-view almost as a matter of course.
Statues, stained glass images and paintings aren't gods or idols.
They are art and hopefully transcendent art and the image is clearly but the representation of the subject of worship or veneration.
As is the cross.
It is the most recognisable icon in the Western World.
Although CocaCola might give it a run for the money.
