This was the second time that both Fraser-Pryce and Bolt were winning the 100m title at the same World Championships, having done so in Berlin, Germany in 2009.
MOSCOW, Russia — Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's second IAAF World Championships 100m title in a cool Luhzniki stadium in Moscow last night reinforced Jamaica's claim to the title of Sprint Capital of the world, completing the double after Usain Bolt won the men's equivalent 24 hours earlier.
This was the second time that both Fraser-Pryce and Bolt were winning the 100m title at the same World Championships, having done so in Berlin, Germany in 2009. Both failed to repeat in Daegu, South Korea two years ago as Bolt was disqualified after a false start and Fraser-Pryce was fourth.
If Fraser-Pryce had an edge this time, it was in her performance which was even more impressive than double World Record holder Bolt's magnificent World leading 10.71 seconds into a -0.3m/s wind. She completely dominated a quality field, virtually leading from start to finish to win by a massive margin.
The Ivory Coast's Murielle Ahoure won her first major outdoors medal, taking silver with 10.93 seconds, while defending champion Carmelita Jeter won the bronze with 10.94 seconds.
The expected clash with the impressive Nigerian Blessing Okagbare did not materialise as she finished in sixth place behind another Jamaican Kerron Stewart (10.97 seconds).
Meanwhile, in two other finals that included Jamaicans last night, Stephanie McPherson just missed a medal in the women's 400m as she finished fourth in her first-ever senior championship as Novlene Williams-Mills was eighth. Andrew Riley was also eighth in the men's 110m hurdles, hitting the eighth barrier when he was well-placed to make a run at a medal.
This second World Championships gold medal, in addition to her back-to-back Olympic titles, has put Fraser-Pryce at the very top of all-time female sprinting as she joins American Gail Devers as the only women to hold the Olympic and World Championships titles.
Not bad for an athlete who was a virtual unknown six years ago until she burst onto the scene with her win at the 2008 JAAA National Senior Championships.
Fraser-Pryce, who ran 10.87 seconds in her semi-final heat earlier in the day, said she had a brief moment of doubt after the semi-finals, as she felt some pain close to her 'gluteus maximus', but said once she got into the blocks for the final she was calm and was able to clear her mind.
While dismissing suggestions that her large margin of victory was indicative of an "easy win", she said the gold medal was the result of "hard work and commitment".
"This is what I worked for, this was my first year out of school and I was completely focused on getting this done, and after the Olympics, I said I was ready," she told reporters.
Fraser-Pryce, who just missed equalling her national record of 10.70 seconds, said she was not surprised by her victory as her 10.77 seconds run in the semi-finals of the London Anniversary Games told her all she needed to know about her form coming into the championships.
The 100m win, she said, also set her up for the 200m as she said it will give her more confidence.
Two other Jamaicans — Schillonie Calvert and Sherry-Ann Brooks — failed to get past the semi-final stage. Despite a strong second half, Calvert never recovered from a poor start and finished in fourth place in 11.28 seconds. She told the Jamaica Observer after that she was hoping to at least run her personal best of 11:05 seconds.
The 30-year-old Brooks was sixth in 11.40 seconds in her heat, but said she was "grateful" as given all she had gone through the last few years "here I am in the semi-finals of the World Championships".
McPherson came agonisingly close to giving Jamaica its first medal in the women's 400m since 2009, when Shericka Williams won silver, as she placed fourth in 49.99 seconds, just behind Russia's Antonina Krivoshapka (49.78 seconds) as Great Britain's Christine Ohuruogu caught defending champion Amantle Monstsho on the line to win in a new National Record 49.41 seconds, the same time given to the Botswana runner.
Williams Mills was eighth in 51.49 seconds.
None of the three Jamaican men advanced past the second round of the 400m. Javon Francis had the fastest time of the trio, running 45.62 seconds for fifth place in his heat. Javere Bell, who ran in the lane beside defending champion Kirani James for the second straight round, was seventh in 45.77 seconds, while Omar Johnson was sixth in his heat in 45.89 seconds.
Kaliese Spencer's disqualification from the women's 400m hurdles spoilt a good yesterday morning for the Jamaicans, who saw six others — three men and three women — advance to today's semi-finals.
The three-time IAAF Diamond League champion and two-time World Championships finalist had won her first round heat in a comfortable-looking season-best 54.10 seconds, but was later disqualified for breaching IAAF's rule 168.7 (a).
An appeal which lasted over two hours, the Observer learnt, was lodged but based on the video evidence presented, the JAAF in a release said disqualification was upheld.
"An incident occurred in Heat One of the Women's 400m Hurdles where Jamaican athlete Kaliese Spencer (bib number 524), who crossed the line in first position but was disqualified under rule 168.7 (trailing leg).
"Video evidence was examined, the Jamaican Team not satisfied, and filed an Appeal to the Jury.
"The Jury of Appeal met and rejected the Jamaican appeal.
This is not the first time the athlete has been affected by this rule and she was disqualified at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Birmingham last year, but was reinstated after an appeal by MVP president Bruce James, who was on hand.
Meanwhile, Nickesha Wilson finished third in her heat in 55.75 seconds and advanced automatically, while Ristananna Tracey finished fifth in her heat in 55.94 seconds and advanced as one the four fastest losers.
Danielle Dowie ran 57.03 seconds in her heat and failed to advance.
All three men — Annsert Whyte, Leford Green and Isa Phillips — all advanced automatically in the men's equivalent.
Despite hitting two hurdles, Whyte who started the event this season, ran 49.63 seconds for third place behind Olympic champion Felix Sanchez and Clement Kerron.
Green, the Olympic finalist, was second in his heat in 49.45 seconds behind Senegal's Mamadou Kasse Hanne, while Phillips ran 49.57 seconds also for second place behind Trinidad's Jehue Gordon.

Can Catholics who are vegans eat the Eucharist?
That depends upon how you define "meat," and what you believe. For despite Catholic claims of taking Scripture literally as regards the Lord's supper, and speaking of the Catholic Eucharist as being the "true Body of Christ and his true Blood," (CCC 1376; 1381) with bread and wine having been "substantially changed into the true and proper and lifegiving flesh and blood of Jesus Christ our Lord," being "corporeally present whole and entire in His physical 'reality.'" (Mysterium Fidei, Encyclical of Pope Paul VI, 1965) "the very body which he gave up for us on the cross, the very blood which he "poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins,"(CCC 1365) the fact is that in Catholic Eucharistic theology "this is My body…blood" is not taken purely literally.
The presence of Christ's true body and blood in this sacrament cannot be detected by sense, nor understanding, but by faith alone..." (Summa Theologica; Summa Theologica - Christian Classics Ethereal Library)
"If you took the consecrated host to a laboratory it would be chemically shown to be bread, not human flesh." (Dwight Longenecker, "Explaining Transubstantiation")
For "this is My body…blood" to be taken purely literally would mean that the apostles at the Lord's supper would have indeed be consuming the same literal, manifestly incarnated body and blood of Christ that was crucified, which manifest physicality is stressed in Scripture, in opposition to a Docetist-type Christ who is materially not what He appears to be. (1 John 1:1-3)
Instead, akin to the latter Christ, if not precisely, the Christ of the Catholic Eucharist materially appears to be what He is not, that of ordinary unleavened bread and alcoholic wine. "The Most Holy Eucharist not only looks like something it isn't (that is, bread and wine), but also tastes, smells, feels, and in all ways appears to be what it isn't." (The Holy Eucharist BY Bernard Mulcahy, O.P., p. 22)
But which bread and wine themselves are held as no longer existing when the priest utters the word of consecration "this is My body….blood."
"Every theological explanation which seeks some understanding of this mystery, in order to be in accord with Catholic faith, must firmly maintain that in objective reality, independently of our mind, the bread and wine have ceased to exist after the consecration, so that the adorable body and blood of the Lord Jesus from that moment on are really before us under the sacramental species of bread and wine." - Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 2003
Meaning that the point of Catholic sacerdotal priestly consecration (which office is itself not Scriptural) it is to be believed by Catholics that "true body" of Christ is present under a "new mode of being, " that the invisible substance of the bread and wine are changed into the body and blood of Christ. That at consecration the substance of the bread and wine is changed during the Eucharistic consecration into the Body and Blood, soul and divinity of Christ under the appearance of bread and wine, while His body in its spatial existence in Heaven remains, with the "accidents" [a philosophical term referring to appearance] of the bread and wine replacing the accidents of Christ's body: his tissues, bones, and cells. Thus "While Christ's body is in heaven according to his natural mode of existence, it can simultaneously be present in the Eucharist according to a supernatural mode of existence." (http://www.catholicvirginian.org/archive/2013/2013vol89iss3/pages/article7.html)
Which is to be believed even though the Eucharistic species still looks, feels, behaves, and would taste and test as actual bread and wine, and thus such decays even though it is said to no longer exist.
At which point the body and blood of Christ are no longer said to be present as the Eucharist either.
(CCC 1377: "The Eucharistic presence of Christ begins at the moment of the consecration and endures as long as the Eucharistic species subsist." "...that is, until the Eucharist is digested, physically destroyed, or decays by some natural process." ibid, Mulcahy, p. 32)
A t which point it seems that neither the decaying bread or wine nor the body and blood of Christ really exist in that time and place. (Summa Theologiae, Question 77)
Therefore, according to both Eucharistic theology as well as scientific testing a vegan would not be consuming the same literal manifestly incarnated body and blood of Christ that was crucified. And also, according to the same evidence of physicality that would prove the Son of God was incarnated, then the bread and wine are just that, and actually exist after consecration, and thus both decay as well as being a problem for some persons with celiac disease, an immune reaction to eating gluten, and the Catholic church forbids gluten-free wafers (though low-gluten wafers can be allowed by the local bishop, as well as for low-alcohol wine).
However, in contrast to the Catholic metaphysical contrivance of the Lord's supper, the Scriptural understanding of this ordinance is metaphorical, in which the members show/proclaim the Lord's death for them until He returns by sharing food with others whom Christ purchased with His sinless shed blood. (Acts 20:28; 1 Co. 11:17–34) Thereby effectually remembering His death for them, and showing the unity with Him and each other (as being "one bread" themselves: 1 Co. 10:17).
And thus to eat independently to the neglect of others is to actually not come together to eat the Lord's supper, and is that of not recognizing the body of Christ as being the church. As explained in 1Cor. 10,11

Did the New Testament church believe in Roman Catholic Purgatory?
No, and this is not taught in any of Scripture. Instead, Roman Catholic (the Eastern Orthodox tend to reject the Roman version) Purgatory is based upon a false premise, not only that there is a need for further atonement for some sins after death, but that justification is on the basis of actual righteousness, which is first attained via the act itself of baptism (and which for infants means without even having to repent and to believe on the Lord Jesus with all their heart, which is contrary to Acts 2:38; 8:36,37; 10:43–47- 15:7–9) effecting "infused" righteousness, for in RC theology one is formally justified by their own righteousness. (Catholic Encyclopedia>Sanctifying Grace)
However, since since the unholy sin nature remains, then after baptism unless the baptized is one of the very few who has become perfect in character in this life and dies in that state, then entering Heaven can only be attained by attaining perfection of character ("by grace") thru postmortem "purifying punishments" and sufferings, commencing at death, in order to be with God.
But which is contrary to what Scripture most manifestly teaches, which is that of penitent faith appropriating justification, with effectual faith being that purifies the heart (Acts 15:9) and is counted for righteousness (Romans 4:5) and renders one accepted in the Beloved (on His account) and positionally seated together with their Lord in Heaven. (Ephesians 1:6; 2:6)
From where they positionally await the Lord's return and His final subduing of our "vile body," that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body," (Philippians 3:21)and which is the only transformative change after this life that the Scriptures speak of.
At which time is the judgment seat of Christ, which is the only suffering after this life, which does not begin at death, but awaits the Lord's return, (1 Corinthians 4:5; 2 Timothy. 4:1,8; Revelation 11:18; Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Peter 1:7; 5:4) and is the suffering of the loss of rewards (and the Lord's displeasure) due to the manner of material one built the church with, which one is saved despite the loss of such, not because of. (1 Corinthians 3:8ff)
However, this saving justifying faith is a faith which effects obedience by the Spirit, (Romans 8:14) in word and in deed, in heart and in life, whereby "the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, (Romans 8:4) insofar as we do.
And since faith and works go together like light and heat, sometimes they are used interchangeably as to what they effect. And which obedience includes penitent confession when convicted of not pleasing the Object of his faith for salvation, the risen Lord Jesus.
The appeal to the believer is to produce fruit consistent with faith, as a consequence of being accepted in the Beloved (on His account), to be practically (in heart and deed) as they are positionally in Christ, to be as much conformed to the Lord Jesus in this life as we can be, and will be in the resurrection. (Philippians 3:7-21)
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:25)
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:1-4)
But which progressive practical sanctification is not the cause of the sinner's justification and acceptance in Christ, but testifies to such being a believer, evidencing "things which accompany salvation," (Hebrews 6:9) and fit to be rewarded. (Revelation 3:4) For this faith, as manifested in said obedience, God will recompense (Hebrews 10:35) under grace, even though it is God who motivates and enables all obedience, (Philippians 1:12,13) while the only thing we can and must take credit for it our disobedience.
In contrast to this salvation by effectual faith, is salvation by grace thru works, as in Roman Catholicism, in which, to reiterate, it is taught that by grace one is actually made good enough to be with God via the act of baptism. And which act itself is said to regenerate and render them good enough to go to Heaven, and formally justified by their own righteousness.
However, since the carnal nature remains - and in Catholic theology few successfully attain to complete victory over any attachment to sin and perfection of character which is said to be necessary to enter Heaven - then most baptized souls are sent to Roman Catholic (EOs trend to reject Rome's) Purgatory to endure purifying torments to atone for sins they sufficiently failed to provide for while on earth, and to become good enough to enter glory.
The Catholic Encyclopedia states, "whosoever comes into God's presence must be perfectly pure for in the strictest sense His "eyes are too pure, to behold evil" (Habakkuk 1:13).
The Catholic Encyclopedia also states that St. Augustine "describes two conditions of men; "some there are who have departed this life, not so bad as to be deemed unworthy of mercy, nor so good as to be entitled to immediate happiness" etc. (City of God XXI.24.)
And thus by the close of the fourth century was taught "a place of purgation..from which when purified they "were admitted unto the Holy Mount of the Lord". For " they were "not so good as to be entitled to eternal happiness".
One "cannot approach God till the purging fire shall have cleansed the stains with which his soul was infested." (Catholic Encyclopedia>Purgatory)
CCC 1023: Those who die in God's grace and friendship and are perfectly purified live for ever with Christ...(provided they were not in need of purification when they died, . . . or, if they then did need or will need some purification, when they have been purified after death, . . .)
"Every trace of attachment to evil must be eliminated, every imperfection of the soul corrected." - John Paul II, Audiences, 1999.
Catholic professor Peter Kreeft states,
"...we will go to Purgatory first, and then to Heaven after we are purged of all selfishness and bad habits and character faults." Peter Kreeft, Because God Is Real: Sixteen Questions, One Answer, p. 224
"The purpose of purgatory is to bring you up the level of spiritual excellence needed to experience the full-force presence of God." (Jimmy Akin, How to Explain Purgatory to Protestants).
Roman Catholics also invoke the exhortation of Matthew 5:48: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect" (Matthew 5:48) as a requirement to be with God, actually presuming that that they can attain the perfection of God in this life or in RC purgatory!
There is some wiggle room as regards the conditions of purgatory since what this suffering actually entails, and how long, for such are are not dogmatically taught, but while salvation by grace thru faith as in sola fide means it is effectual faith being imputed for righteousness that justifies, salvation by grace thru works means that by grace one is actually made good enough to be with God, which premise either requires perfection of character in this life (and which merely being made clean in baptism would actually not effect) or postmortem purifying torments.
However, wherever Scripture clearly speak of the next conscious reality for believers then it is with the Lord, (Lk. 23:43 [cf. 2Cor. 12:4; Rv. 2:7]; Phil 1:23; 2Cor. 5:8 ["we"]; 1Cor. 15:51ff'; 1Thess. 4:17) Note in the latter case all believers were assured that if the Lord returned, which they expected in their lifetime, so would they "ever be with the Lord," though they were still undergoing growth in grace, as was Paul. (Phil. 3:7f)
And the next transformative experience that is manifestly taught is that of being like Christ in the resurrection. (1Jn. 3:2; Rm. 8:23; 1Co 15:53,54; 2Co. 2-4) At which time is the judgment seat of Christ, which is the only suffering after this life, which does not begin at death, but awaits the Lord's return, (1 Corinthians 4:5; 2 Timothy. 4:1,8; Revelation 11:18; Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Peter 1:7; 5:4) and is the suffering of the loss of rewards (and the Lord's displeasure) due to the manner of material one built the church with, which one is saved despite the loss of such, not because of. (1 Corinthians 3:8ff)
In addition, the whole premise that suffering itself perfects a person is specious, since testing of character requires being able to choose btwn alternatives, and which this world provides. Thus it is only this world that Scripture peaks of here development of character, such as "Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations." (1 Peter 1:6)
And even in making the Lord "perfect" as in experiencing testing, being "in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin," (Hebrews 4:15) then it was in this world: "For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings." (Hebrews 2:10)
For support, Catholics cite 2 Maccabees 12;44-46 (atonement for the dead to free them from sin ).
However, of what support is that of praying for men whom the text clearly stated were slain for their idolatry, which is a mortal sin? Meanwhile believing this book was Scripture proper was not required until after Luther died, almost 1400 years after the last book was penned.
Other texts which Catholics often attempt to use for support are:
• 1 Peter 3:18-20;4:6 ( Peter preaching to the spirits in prison) ,
Which preaching was to the "disobedient" lost souls like those of Noah's day, "wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water," and it is obvious they had not attained to perfection of character. But with His resurrection (Matthew 27:52) the Lord set free those in captivity in Abraham's bosom, (Ephesians 4:8,9) also called paradise,(Luke 23:43) which OT saints went to, and was on the other side of Hades, with a great gulf between the two (Luke 16:19-31) since the way into the holiest of all was not yet enabled under the Old Covenant, (Hebrews 9:8; 10:4) but which Christ enabled by His Death (Matthew 27:51). But which paradise was and is not purgatory but a place of comfort, (Luke 16:25) not fiery punishments, and Christ having opened the way into the holy of holies by His sinless shed blood, (Hebrews 10:19) then paradise which is now Heaven. (2 Corinthians 12:4)
• 1 Cor 15:29-30 (baptizing the dead)
Which text Mormons also use in attempting to support their false teaching, but it supports nothing than was it was invoked for by the Holy Spirit thru Paul, that of there being a resurrection which some ("they," says Paul, not "we") thought postmortem baptism would effect, but with nothing inferred as purgatory. And which the Holy Spirit would never fail to clearly teach on, if it indeed was of Catholic importance.
• 1 Cor 3:15 (saved through fire)
Utterly invalidated as explained below*, by God's grace.
• Mt 5:26 (where you will not be released until you pay the last penny)
Rather than Matthew 5:25-26 being "explicit about Purgatory" as Staples imagines this either refers to this life, or punishment in Hell, the latter of which is inferred in the context of Matthew 5:22-26, (Matthew 5:22; Matthew 5:27-29; cf. Mark 9:43), and Catholics themselves argue (Mt. 1:25) that "until" ("till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing") need not mean a terminus is inferred.
And here this story cannot be analogous to purgatory, since that is for souls whose guilt is forgiven (CCC 1471) yet who have to make expiation for venial sins, but Matthew 5:22-26, does not describe penitent saved souls who guilt is forgiven yet atoning for venial sins as per Purgatory, but one who is denying the faith by knowingly impenitently and hypocritically mistreating a brother and therefore receiving retributive justice.
And Matthew 5:22-26 correlates to Matthew 18:23-35 in which the subject of punishment is clearly that of a lost soul who is in no way penitent and acting consistent with Christian faith, but akin to the one in 1 Timothy 5:8 who had denied the faith by refusing to provide for his own dependents.
Thus the description there is of a "mortal sin." And contrary to RC Purgatory, this man was not forgiven, but was damned, and given the vast amount he had to pay, then I think "Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost [farthest] farthing" (Matthew 5:26) is saying he never will come out,
• Mt 12:32 (sin is forgiven in this age or the next)
That is simple, except Rome rejects the 1,000 year reign of Christ in which there will be sin and forgiveness of sins, as Ezekiel shows in his many chapters which defy then as being mere allegory.
• 1 John 5:16-17 (degrees of sin distinguished)
Which refers to apostasy, and there are degrees of sin, and of accountability and guilt, thus degrees of punishment, (Matthew 11:20-24) but which description are only about Hell, not some interim place.
• Mark 9:49 (all will be salted by fire)
Which is simply another example of the egregious extrapolation RCs must often resort to in order attempt to postulate some sort of support for what they can only wish Scripture manifestly taught, but which it does not!
Here the only postmortem reality that is seen in the context is that of Hell: "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched" (Mark 9:48) and otherwise it speaks of salt (Mark 9:49,50; cf. Lev. 2:13; Eze 43:24) which represent holiness, which works for peace, and one either has it or they are good for nothing, (Mt. 5:13) and and there is nothing that infers purgatory in order to get it or more of it, though this would be one of many places we could expect to see it if it were true.
*Purgatory and 1Co. 3:
This cannot refer to Purgatory due to the facts that,
1. The judgment event of 1Co. 3 is the judgment seat of Christ, with its giving of rewards and loss thereof, which does not occur until the Lords return and the believers resurrection. (1Cor. 3:8ff; 4:5; 2Tim. 4:1,8; Rev.11:18; Mt. 25:31-46; 1Pt. 1:7; 5:4) versus purgatory, which (typically prolonged) suffering commences at death in order to enable souls to enter Heaven.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:10)
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; (2 Timothy 4:1)
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:8)The judgment of 1 Cor. 3:15 will reveal what manner of workmanship they were building church with, for "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire," and while saving faith is one that characteristically walks in the obedience of faith, (Heb. 5:9) believers may suffer loss of rewards due to their manner of workmanship.
The fire burns up the fake stones, which like the tares of Mt. 13:40 at the end, are represented here as wood, hay or stubble, while the precious stones with fire-tried faith (1Pt. 1:7) endure, and gain rewards for the instruments of their faithfulness. Thus Paul says to the Thessalonians, "For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? " (1 Thess. 2:19; cf. Rv. 3:11) And to the Corinthians, "we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus." 2Cor. 1:14) And to the Philippians, that being "my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved." (Phil. 4:1)
2. Wherever NT Scripture manifestly deals with the next life location for believers, it is to be with the Lord . (Phil 1:23; 2Cor. 5:8 ["we"]; Heb, 12:22,23; 1Cor. 15:51ff'; 1Thess. 4:17) Not only did the penitent criminal go to "paradise" at death (Lk. 23:43; cf. 2Cor. 12:4; Rv. 2:7) as did Stephen, (Acts 7:59) but so would Paul and co. be with the Lord once absent from the body (Phil. 1:23,24) - even though Paul told the Philippians that was he not "already perfect." (Phil. 3:12). Likewise he stated to the Corinthians, "We [plural] are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:8) and so would every believer if the Lord returned in their lifetime: "to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1Thess. 4:17; 1Cor. 15:51ff - even though many believers were in need of greater holiness. (2Cor. 7:1)
Paul confessed he was not already practically perfect, (Phil. 3:12) but he earnestly desired to become as much in this life (to "know him, and the power of his resurrection, being made conformable unto his death" - Philippians 3:10) as he would via the resurrection, yet he knew that if he died before that then he would be with the Lord.
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight). We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:6-8)
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: (Philippians 1:21-23)
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. (Philippians 3:14-15)
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (Philippians 3:17)
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. (Philippians 3:20-21)
3. And as expressed in that verse and others, the resurrection is the only transformative event the believer manifestly looks forward to after this life (Rm. 8:23; 2Co. 5:1-4; Phil 3:20,21; 1Jn. 3:2) — not purgatory, which suffering commences at death in order to enable souls to enter Heaven.
4. Furthermore, Scripture only reveals growth in grace and overcoming as being realized in this world, with its temptations and trials, (1 Peter 1:6-7; 1Jn.2:14; 5:4,5; Rv. 2.7,11,17,26; 3:5,12,21) where alternatives to submitting to God can be made (suffering itself does not make one mature) and thus it was here that the Lord Himself was made "perfect," (Heb. 2:10) as in being "in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." (Heb. 4:15)
Thus what Scripture teaches is that it is on earth that testing and overcoming takes place, and that the elect go to be with the Lord upon death, or at His return, whichever comes first, and then they are judged as to the manner of works, reflecting their faith, and rewarded or suffer loss of rewards.
While perfection of character in this life. Mt 5:48 is invoked in support of this perfection being needed to be with God (which in context refers to treating your enemy benevolently), yet this does not teach that the achievement of absolute moral perfection in this life is a perquisite for salvation, which idea requires redefining salvation as to mean progressing to a state of being just enough by moral perfection to be with the Lord, and that being absent from the body means present in purgatory, not with the Lord, contrary to what is expressly stated. And which is akin to placing one under the Law, (Gal. 3:10) versus justification by imputed righteousness (justifying the unGodly by faith: Rm. 4:5) appropriated by a faith, but a faith which effects holiness.
For while salvific faith is one which characteristically effects the "obedience of faith" toward its Object (which faith in any moral authority will do), and which is an overcoming kind of faith, (Rv. 2,3), and grows towards the maturity which is called perfection, (Col. 1:28; 4:12; Ja. 1:4; 3:2; 1Jn. 4:17) and which faith has "great recompense of reward," (Heb. 10:35), yet Scripture states that believers (being of true faith) are presently saved (Titus 3:5), and positionally perfect (Heb. 10:14) and seated in Heaven. (Eph. 2:6) And thus Christ can dwell with them now - "Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27) - and as shown, they can and will go to be with the Lord at death, or at the Lord's return.
Finally, this RC interpretation of 1Co. 3 is not one which is even officially taught by Rome as requiring assent, and is contradicted by the notes in the official RC Bible which notes state,
The text of ⇒ 1 Cor 3:15 has sometimes been used to support the notion of purgatory, though it does not envisage this. - http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/__PZ8.HTM#$4AC
The following is from a debate with a disciple of Rome, Scott Windsor Sr., who engaged me in debate on James Swans site, "Beggars all. His words are in italics:
While I get the rationalizations you put forth,
No, what you do not get then is that Scripture clearly speak of the next conscious reality for believers then it is with the Lord, (Lk. 23:43 [cf. 2Cor. 12:4; Rv. 2:7]; Phil 1:23; 2Cor. 5:8 ["we"]; 1Cor. 15:51ff'; 1Thess. 4:17) And the next transformative experience that is manifestly taught is that of being like Christ in the resurrection. (1Jn. 3:2; Rm. 8:23; 1Co 15:53,54; 2Co. 2-4)
Since all you see are rationalizations I repeated what Scripture says, which all your strained or wrested appeals to texts which do not teach Purgatory cannot refute.
- I can provide prooftexts which allow us to rationalize that there is indeed a Purgatory -
And which attempts have been refuted here in a succession of posts, and shown that belief in Purgatory is not what is manifest in the the only wholly inspired authoritative record of what the NT church believed (including how they understood the OT and gospels). But there is always another RC devotee who seems compelled to defend whatever Rome imagines, regards of how cultic it makes them look.
and- if it exists, then the Church, through her authority to bind or loose whatsoever she chooses, could indeed loose in a a plenary or partial fashion the time spent in Purgatory.
Please. Parroting prevaricating propaganda may be comforting to the Catholic choir but it simply will not stand the test of examination of what the NT church believed in the most ancient substantive record. But I do understand that Rome has presumed to infallibly declare she is and will be perpetually infallible whenever she speaks in accordance with her infallibly defined (scope and subject-based) formula, which renders her declaration that she is infallible, to be infallible, as well as all else she accordingly declares.
Maybe you want to try the "The Church ® gave you the Scriptures, thus it is the supreme infallible authority on what it means" argument.
that indulgences are ONLY for those who are saved already.
I think I expressed that, except that "saved" in Scripture means the next conscious reality for believers after this life it is with the Lord. Who is not in RC Purgatory.
May God peradventure grant you "repentance to the acknowledging of the truth." (2 Timothy 2:25)
Scott Windsor, Sr. said...Greetings PBJ, I took the time to respond fully to your posting. It became too long (mostly because of the list of Bible verses you cited, but didn't quote) for a combox response so I posted to my blog. Click Here for my response.
Pt. 1
I do not recall seeing your reply which came 6 days after my last post, but seeing as I have much later come by your sophistry then I will take some time (hours for me to type) to refute your poor attempt at trying to refute my reproof of RC Purgatory.
In response to Lk. 23:43, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise," you respond Purgatory IS part of Paradise. Only the SAVED can be in Purgatory, but which bare assertion misses the point of my citing this text, which was part of showing that Paradise is now Heaven.
However, Purgatory is NOT Paradise, AKA "Abraham's bosom," since that is a place of comfort, (Luke 16:25) not "fire and torments or 'purifying' punishments.'" (Indulgentiarum Doctrina)
Next, in response to the corresponding text (2Cor. 12:4, "That he was caught up into paradise...") that I listed together with the above, you state, This speaks NOTHING about after this life, yet it certainly does, being caught "up to the third heaven,"(2Cor. 12:2) and your own NAB notes support the inference that this was God's abode. And with my point being that paradise is now Heaven, where those whom Christ set free went at His resurrection. Thus supporting what I stated, when "Scripture clearly speak[s] of the next conscious reality for believers then it is with the Lord."
Next, in response to Rv. 2:7 ("I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God"), you argue that this cannot be used against Purgatory, but that it even supports it, stating, "He that overcometh (the trials of Purgatory) shall eat of the tree of life...."
However, it is against Purgatory since not only is the tree of life in paradise, versus the two being the same, or preceding it (both of which you have now argued), but together with the other verses this testifies to what I said, that the next conscious reality for believers is with the Lord.
Next, when faced with the next corresponding verse, Phil 1:23, "having a desire to depart and to be with Christ," you admit that Paul here expresses his desire to be with Christ, yet blithely assert, "there is no negation of Purgatory here," yet there certainly is.
For as shown, paradise was a place of comfort, not fire and torments or purifying' punishments, and is the 3rd heaven, where the tree of life is, and thus the Lord, and the imperfect Paul (Philippians 3:12,13) expressed he would go to be with once absent from his earthly body.
Which bring us to the next verse of conflation which you are compelled to deny, 2Cor. 5:8, "to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord." To which you again blithely assert, there is no denial of Purgatory here! The desire to be in Heaven does not mean there is no Purgatory.
Yet there certainly is for the same reason as was shown. To die as a believe is to be with the Lord, in paradise, the 3rd Heaven, versus awaiting that reality by becoming actually good enough thru RC Purgatory.
Next up, 1Cor. 15:51ff' "the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed," which (once again taking in isolation) you argue, this "does not preclude going to Purgatory." However it does, for as the next verse in my list states,
1Thess. 4:17 - "After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."
To which you wishfully assert, SW: Keep in mind, those in Purgatory WILL be with Him forever too. Still no preclusion of Purgatory here.
However, contrary to your imposed intermediate stage, those who die or are alive at the coming of Christ go directly be with the Lord forever, non-stop, and which is a reality you cannot avoid despite your compelled assertions to the contrary.
PeaceByJesus said...
Yet as you must deny what Scripture teaches, then faced with the next verse, 1Jn. 3:2 ."...when he shall appear, we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is," you assert, "what we shall be does not mean we will not be purified before we get there."
However, contrary to this intermediate stage, the substantiated fact remains that to be absent from this life via death or the Lord's return is to be with the Lord forever. And that as stated, "the next transformative experience that is manifestly taught is that of being like Christ in the resurrection."
And which the next verse conflates with, Rm. 8:23, "...the redemption of our body." Which again is met with your simple denial that this does not equate to no Purgatory, but which intermediate stage is just what is missing and must be imposed to support a tradition of men.
Worse, next, in actually trying to wrest support, you abuse Scripture by taking a verse which speaks about the resurrection (1Co 15:53, "this corruptible must put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality)," and making it refer to or support Purgatory, stating,
"Yes, when we go to Purgatory our corruption puts on incorruption."
However, 1Co 15:53 is not speaking about Purgatory, a condition commencing at death, of making atonement for sins and becoming pure enough to enter Heaven, but refers to the (first) resurrection, that of the bodies of believers who already directly went to be with the Lord, and with the only transformative experience after this life being that of made like Christ in the resurrection!
Moving on, after I stated that "At which time [the resurrection] is the judgment seat of Christ, which is the > only suffering after this life," you incredibly assert that 1 Corinthians 4:5 which refers to this, "supports Purgatory! "Who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness..." but every man shall still have praise from God? Even though the things of darkness are exposed - "every man" who is in this purification IS saved and shall have praise from God!"
Which is either ignorance or sophistry, for RC Purgatory is not the resurrection of believers, which is what 1 Corinthians 4:5 refers to, and which resurrection awaits the return of Christ, and is the time when the Lord gives reward unto His servants at the judgment seat of Christ, making what they did manifest and rewarding them. (1Cor. 3:8ff; 4:5; 2Tim. 4:1,8; Rev.11:18; Mt. 25:31-46; 1Pt. 1:7; 5:4) In which one is saved despite the loss of such fruit, not because of the loss. (1 Corinthians 3:8ff)
You next try (of-course) to face 2 Timothy 4:1,8 ("...the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day..."and to which you respond with I would be relatively certain that St. Paul suffered his Purgatory while still on Earth."
Which misses the point, that this text goes together with the other texts which show that the day of Christ is the resurrection and when believers shall be judged and gain or less rewards, which is not Purgatory. Meanwhile Paul himself testified that he had not yet attained unto perfection, nor did he ever express hope that Purgatory would do it, but while he strove to presently be (what he was positionally in Christ) perfect like he would be in the resurrection, (Philippians 3:10-15) he only pointed to that event as effecting charge after this life, when Christ "shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself." (Philippians 3:21).
12:01 PM, December 11, 2019
You next are faced with Revelation 11:18 ("...the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest render reward to thy servants...") which conflates with the other texts which establish that 1 Cor. 3:8-15 awaits the return of the Lord Jesus and the judgment seat of Christ. Yet which you yet try to spin as supporting Purgatory, or at least not denying it, stating, nothing is denying a time of purification of those souls who WILL BE rewarded."
Yet no matter how much RCs need to spin 1 Cor. 3:8-15 as referring to Purgatory or supporting it, this is simply disallowed even by the very FACT that this awaits the return of Christ, versus commencing at death as with Purgatory!
Meanwhile the suffering is not that of being purified of character faults so that one may be good enough to enter Heaven and with "saints" who went there directly, but the judgment is of believers who are already with the Lord, and the suffering loss is that of the manner of workmanship believers attempted to build the church with being burned up (as tares will be), but which one is saved despite of
Next you respond to Matthew 25:31-46, which testifies to believers being rewarded, by asserting, EVERY MAN who goes to Purgatory SHALL GO INTO LIFE EVERLASTING too! . but which is simply begging the question, that of presuming the very thing that has only being invalidated, that of Purgatory being referred to.
Along with this attempt to compel what 1 Cor. 3:8-15 refers to as being Purgatory, or supporting it, that those being purged will "suffer loss" though they will still be "saved" in the end.
But which is the very argument that has just been shown to be utterly untenable! Some RCs seem to think that much of any verse which refers to purification supports Purgatory, but which simply fails, and such extrapolation testifies to the desperate measure RCs can resort to in the light of what Scripture actually manifestly clearly consistently teaches as regards believers after this life.
Yet you actually double-down on arguing what which is untenable, invoking (A verse from me) 1 Cor. 3:15 , which simply cannot refer to Purgatory, and actually contradicts it as explained.
IF it is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself is still saved! That is PRECISELY what Purgatory is all about!
The reality that something is being burned up from the saved simply does not translate into Purgatory, due (again) to the fact that this event awaits the Lord's return, and what is consumed are believers works, not character defects, and the subjects are already with the Lord, and will still be saved despite such less, not because of them.
Yet you must still blindly insist, Yes, this IS Purgatory!... NOT ONE of those verses refutes Purgatory and which further testifies to RC blindness or ignorance and or sophistry.
Which is also invalid, untenable, and the logic (being the magisterial discerners and stewards of Scripture means such possess infallibility of office and thus are to be submitted to) used in support of it ultimately invalidates the NT church itself. The Peter of Scripture was not the Peter of Rome , which even the EO's argue tradition does not support (which it does not ), but this post is already long enough
then Scripture lies to us in telling us she can bind or loose whatsoever she chooses
Including that she can bind or loose whatsoever she chooses. For Rome has presumed to infallibly declare she is and will be perpetually infallible whenever she speaks in accordance with her infallibly defined (scope and subject-based) formula, which renders her declaration that she is infallible, to be infallible, as well as all else she accordingly declares.
However Scripture nowhere lies to us and tells us she can bind or loose whatsoever she chooses without error, for while all authority has power to bind and loose, varying in scope and degree, which Scribes and Pharisees has as do fathers and husbands, this does not mean such possess infallibility of office .
IF there is merit to the Church having said authority THEN the matter of Purgatory is not really up for debate anymore. IF the Church does not have this authority - then Scripture lies to us in telling us she can bind or loose whatsoever she chooses and that binding and/or loosing is also in effect in Heaven.
At least you are honest and implicitly reveal why RCs can so blithely dismiss what refutes them and abuse Scripture in compelling it as a slave to support Rome and their assertions in support of her, as you have. For that is what it is so often for them, an slave abused to support Rome, and not the sure and supreme standard for Truth claims as is is abundantly evidenced to be, which even the veracity of the apostles was subject to. Instead church law is to be supreme, under the false premise that God is the author of both.
In contrast , Scripture itself and most of it came before the church, and was built upon its prophetic and doctrinal foundation. And thus the appeal to it in establishing the authority of teaching by the church, including in Acts 15, versus the basis for veracity resting upon the novel and unScriptural premise of ensured perpetual magisterial infallibility as per Rome.
Yet again, this would be another thread, and as it is I will likely have to split this one up, while RC Purgatory remains a fable, one of the many distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation. and which best shows how the NT church understood the OT and gospels).
May God peradventure grant you "repentance to the
acknowledging of the truth." (2 Timothy 2:25)

How did the serpent seduce Eve to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?
Actually, it was essentially by using the same tactics as classic Communism and liberal leaders, which was to persuade the victim of deception that she was being treated unjustly, being kept from what should be hers by the one who possessed it. And with the devil playing the role of advocate for the victim (in order to selfishly obtain power for himself), fostering the victim-entitlement mentality, and enticing her to illicitly obtain what belonged to the one who rightfully possessed it, as if it was her right.
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. (Genesis 3:1-6)
Note that the original sin of the devil was that of arrogantly asserting he was going to sit in the throne of God, (Isaiah 14) the first "occupy movement," not by being rewarded for obedience that God commands and requires, by as if it was his right.
In contrast, those who believe in the risen Lord Jesus Christ, and trust Him to save them on His account, and then faithfully obey Him in response to" so great salvation," will sit with Him in His throne: "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." (Revelation 3:21) But "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." (John 10:1)
In contrast is the presumption that without merit, and not even by appeal to mercy and grace, one has a right to what others possess by virtue of the merit of the latter. Such is the case with the indolent and wasteful being told (in so many words) that they are victims who have a right to what others have lawfully earned (or even inherited), or that the worker has the right to the same benefits that that an owner has accrued by risking capital and in building a business. That such must be compelled to "share the wealth" by penalizing the productive by progressively burdening them with supporting a state system which effectively rewards the opposite of productivity. Or by actually forcing divestiture by state takeover of established lawful businesses.
And with the ones who promote this doing so in order to obtain power, not by actual merit, but by inculcating a victim-entitlement mentality, and spending the money of others they compelled to provide in order to support their socialist or Communist paradise which actually works poverty insofar as it is not modified by capitalist principals, and in the end, if unrestrained, it is these promoters and their tenuous friends who end up being virtually the only ones enjoying the standard of living they promised to all. Think Venezuela [2018] as a modern example.
To be sure, there are real victims of circumstance as well as prejudice, and their own regretful wrong choices, and those who have inherited benefits as well as those who earned them have a moral obligation to help such, to show mercy and give grace, and which is to be an incentive to the recipients to better their lives and thereby help others.
But in the victim-entitlement ethos, there is no mercy or grace, as instead one who refuses to be productive and actually engages in immoral behavior is told in so many words that they have a right to what others obtained by merit (versus a right to earn benefits without discrimination on account of such amoral aspects as race).
And it is also Biblical and right to take taxes from those who can pay them in order to support valid government services, from infrastructure to defense. And which in Scripture included tithe of one's increase at the end of three years for a provision at that time for non-paid government servants, and for stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow within the border. (Deuteronomy 14:28,29) And government should enable even waste scavengers and gleaners to do what they do.
However, without further digression, the short answer to your question "How did the serpent seduce Eve to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?," is that it was by appeal to Eve as a victim of injustice, who had a right to that which was not hers, and which victim-entitlement mentality, with its fostering of envy and lust, was inculcated in order for the devil to obtain what he selfishly wanted, power in the realm of man, the earth, which he thereby gained, (Luke 4:6) to his own just eternal damnation. (Revelation 20:10)
What are some substantial differences between Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy and Protestantism?
This reply is rather long, and supplemental links more fully answer the question, but there is much to this issue, and this reply may leave you better informed than some others.
First and mainly to be considered is the largest single church, Roman Catholicism, which is a religion that developed over time as a deformation of the NT church. It officially (if not all effectually) affirms valid Scripturally Truth (though not all) but progressively added mere traditions of men, these being distinctive Catholic beliefs (many of which are shared by the Eastern Orthodox) which are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (including how they understood the OT and gospels), which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation.
For Catholicism exalted herself as the sure and supreme authority on faith and morals, effectively being superior over Scripture.
Pope Leo_xiii in Providentissimus Deus presumes,
" Catholic doctrine, as authoritatively proposed by the Church, should be held as the supreme law; for, seeing that the same God is the author both of the Sacred Books and of the doctrine committed to the Church," but which is a false premise. For the only substantive source of express public Divine revelation is Scripture. And both men and writings of God were being recognized as being so by common souls before a church presumed she was essential for this as conditionally incapable of error, which Catholicism does presume.
And rather than being subject to Scripture as supreme, Rome began to use the sword of men for ecclesiastical discipline and to achieve power (something early Protestantism, had to unlearn).
By the 4th century, we have a pope, Damasus 1, employing murderous thugs in order to secure his throne from his rival, and the beginning of the Caesario-papacy.
Eamon Duffy (Pontifical Historical Commission, Professor of the History of Christianity at the University of Cambridge, and former President of Magdalene College) reports:
Damasus' grass-roots supporters included squads of the notoriously hard-boiled Roman fossores, and they massacred 137 followers of the rival Pope Ursinus in street-fighting that ended in a bloody siege of what is now the church of Santa Maria Maggiore..."
In addition, the conversion of Constantine, "propelled the bishops of Rome into the heart of the Roman establishment. Already powerful and influential men, they now became grandees on a par with the wealthiest senators in the city. Bishops all over the Roman world would now be expected to take on the role of judges, governors, great servants of state.." (Saints and Sinners," New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1997, 2001, pp. 37-38)
J. N. D. (1989 confirms the carnal means of the ascendancy of Damasus, and also records that he was,
indefatigable in promoting the Roman primacy, frequently referring to Rome as 'the apostolic see' and ruling that the test of a creed's orthodoxy was its endorsement by the Pope. In 378, he persuaded the government to recognize the holy see as a court of first instance and also of appeal for the Western episcopate... In tune with his ideas, Theodosius 1 (379-95) declared (February 27, 380) Christianity the state religion in that form…for Damasus this primacy was not based on decisions of synods, as were the claims of Constantinople, but exclusively on his [presumption of] being the direct successor of St. Peter..." Upon which false premise he presumed "judicial power to bind and loose, and the assurance of this infused all his rulings on church discipline. (Kelly, J. N. D. (1989). The Oxford Dictionary of Popes. USA: Oxford University Press. pp. 32,34)
This would later result in the the formal declaration of the novel and unScriptural premise of ensured perpetual papal infallibility by Vatican 1. For Rome has presumed to formally "infallibly" declare she is and will be perpetually infallible whenever she speaks in accordance with her (scope and subject-based) criteria, which renders her declaration that she is infallible, to be infallible, as well as all else she accordingly declares.
However, while men such as the manifest (2Co. 6:4–10) New Testament apostles could speak and write as wholly inspired of God, and also provide new public Divine revelation thereby - which Catholic "fathers" and popes and prelates did and do not do - Catholic researchers themselves, among others, provide testimony against the New Testament church even looking to Peter (a true apostle) himself as the first of a line of infallible popes reigning as the exalted head of the church from Rome.
**Klaus SchatzJesuit Father theologian, professor of church history at the St. George's Philosophical and Theological School in Frankfurt] in his work, "Papal Primacy," finds: "If one had asked a Christian in the year 100, 200, or even 300 whether the bishop of Rome was the head of all Christians, or whether there was a supreme bishop over all the other bishops and having the last word in questions affecting the whole Church, he or she would certainly have said no." **
Moreover, by teaching such things as "It follows that the Church is essentially an unequal society, that is, a society comprising two categories of per sons, the Pastors and the flock...the one duty of the multitude is to allow themselves to be led, and, like a docile flock, to follow the Pastors," (Vehementer Nos, an Encyclical of Pope Pius X promulgated on February 11, 1906) then when leadership overall goes "South" then so do those who follow them, or they are left looking for salvation, versus finding that via Scripture, which never falls into immorality or false doctrine.
Being overall not grounded in this sure foundation, then as Cardinal Ratzinger observed, referring to the 14th century,
"For nearly half a century, the Church was split into two or three obediences that excommunicated one another, so that every Catholic lived under excommunication by one pope or another, and, in the last analysis, no one could say with certainty which of the contenders had right on his side. The Church no longer offered certainty of salvation; she had become questionable in her whole objective form--the true Church, the true pledge of salvation, had to be sought outside the institution." (Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, head of the Sacred Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith for the Church of Rome, "Principles of Catholic Theology," trans. by Sister Mary Frances McCarthy, S.N.D. (San Francisco: Ignatius, 1989) p.196)
And presently Roman Catholics are part of a church which consists of different brands of Catholics, more so more so than in typical evangelical churches. The most extreme on the "right" are those who espouse the medieval Catholic position of implicit obedience to most everything the pope publicly teaches, but reject modern popes. And those who reject some of the modern Catholic teachings based upon their judgment of what valid church teaching consists of and means, and attack the present pope. As well as those who affirm that modern teaching is not in contradiction to historical Catholic teaching, which are clarifications of it, and are not be submitted and (at the least) not publicly objected to. Then there are the very liberal members such as publicly reject even modern Catholic moral positions. But all of whom (except the first class described) are manifestly considered, in life and in death, to be members in communion with "the Church."
As for Eastern Orthodoxy, while typically less technical in its theology, and somewhat prone to appeal to mysticism, as said, they hold to many of the same distinctive beliefs which are not not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed, including subscribing to the premise that the church is the supreme sure standard for what is of God:
It is the Church that tells us what is Scripture, and it is also the Church that tells us how Scripture is to be understood...The decisive test and criterion for our understanding of what the Scripture means is the mind of the Church (http://orthodoxinfo.com/phronema...)
However, while it is true that as seen in Acts 15, magisterial church office is to be the supreme authority in determining what it is to be taught, and as the Westminster Confession states, "It belongs to synods and councils, ministerially to determine controversies of faith..and authoritatively to determine the same; which decrees and determinations, if consonant to the Word of God, are to be received with reverence and submission," (Chapter XXXI) the issue is that of the sure infallible status that Catholicism ascribes to its magisterial church office in formally teaching by her ecumenical councils on faith and morals for the whole church.
Which is never seen or promised (or necessary in Scripture. Instead, contrary to the premise that being the magisterial authority over the cooperate body from which Scripture came, and which affirms what it is, means that it possesses ensured infallibility, the reality is that the church actually began in dissent from those who sat in the seat of Moses over Israel, (Mt. 23:2) who were the historical instruments and stewards of Scripture, "because that unto them were committed the oracles of God," (Rm. 3:2) to whom pertaineth" the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises" (Rm. 9:4) of Divine guidance, presence and perpetuation as they believed, (Gn. 12:2,3; 17:4,7,8; Ex. 19:5; Lv. 10:11; Dt. 4:31; 17:8-13; Ps, 11:4,9; Is. 41:10, Ps. 89:33,34; Jer. 7:23)
And instead they followed an itinerant Preacher (as far as those who sat in the seat of Moses was concerned) whom the historical magisterium rejected, and whom the Messiah reproved by Scripture as being supreme, (Mk. 7:2-16) and established His Truth claims upon scriptural substantiation in word and in power, as did the early church as it began upon this basis. (Mt. 22:23-45; Lk. 24:27,44; Jn. 5:36,39; Acts 2:14-35; 4:33; 5:12; 15:6-21;17:2,11; 18:28; 28:23; Rm. 15:19; 2Cor. 12:12, etc.)
And despite both Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox both laying claim to the title "Catholic" and as being the One True Apostolic Church, after over 1,000 years they remain divided due to irreconcilable differences. (see EO_vs_Rome)
The Orthodox Church opposes the Roman doctrines of universal papal jurisdiction, papal infallibility, purgatory, and the Immaculate Conception precisely because they are untraditional." (Orthodox apologist and author Clark Carlton: THE WAY: What Every Protestant Should Know About the Orthodox Church, 1997, p 135)
The East never accepted the regular jurisdiction of Rome, nor did it submit to the judgment of Western bishops. Its appeals to Rome for help were not connected with a recognition of the principle of Roman jurisdiction but were based on the view that Rome had the same truth, the same good. (Roman Catholic theologian Yves Congar, Diversity and Communion (Mystic: Twenty-Third, 1982), p. 26)
Roman Catholicism, unable to show a continuity of faith and in order to justify new doctrine, erected in the last century, a theory of "doctrinal development."…On this basis, theories such as the dogmas of "papal infallibility" and "the immaculate conception" of the Virgin Mary (about which we will say more) are justifiably presented to the Faithful as necessary to their salvation. (http://www.ocf.org/OrthodoxPage/reading/ortho_cath.html)
Finally we have Protestantism, but which as typically defined is far too diverse to be meaningful, often encompassing everything from evangelical Christian churches to so-called "Christian science" to Swedenborgism. Therefore it cannot be critically examined as one single church. However, based upon its most basic distinctive, that of Scripture being the sure and supreme sufficient standard for faith and morals, as the wholly God-inspired word of God, with its basically literal hermeneutic, then its members attest to being both the most strongly unified major religious group in many core beliefs as well as being a diverse community.
And rather than adopting such unScriptural Catholics beliefs, from prayer to created beings in Heaven, including the virtual worship of its unScriptural Mary by many Catholics, to her mistaken belief in the Lord's supper, to compelled clerical celibacy, evangelical Bible faith overall tends to be more Scriptural (with some exceptions such as women pastors).
However, the prophesied overall later-day spiritual declension of the church is being seen today, first by lessened commitment to Scripture and its integrity.
And while Catholicism presumes too much of an office and thereby what it promulgates, and to the expense of the authority of Scripture, evangelicalism presumes too much of Scripture as far as practical authority is concerned, and too little of the magisterial office established thereby, as mentioned before
In addition, while Scripture requires separation from false believers, (1 Corinthians 5:9; 2 Corinthians 6:14–18) and dissent from corrupt tyrannical authority when the latter is contrary to the word of God (Acts 4:19) and rejects those who validly dissent (which again, is how the NT church began), yet in Protestantism this too much became the standard recourse in dealing with differences, and fails to pursue a central magisterium. The fact that the church of Rome has effectively rendered that as something to be avoided, in principle a central magisterium of Godly men is Scriptural.
The basic unity of the NT church church was under men of supreme Scriptural integrity, "not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. (2 Co. 4:2) And who, unlike what is typically seen today, could say that they, "in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God..." (2 Co. 6:4)
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, (2 Corinthians 6:5-7)
And today Christianity (and I) fail of the degree of holiness and faith the prima NT church exampled and is needed for the church of the living God to manifest itself as being so, and as grounded in and supporting the Truth.
And besides Catholicism, the rest of what is called Protestantism fails more , being liberal.
However, God does not change, and Scripture is His sure established word, and teaches the way of salvation. In which the redeemed have come to God as souls damned by their works of sin - not saved because of works - and as destitute of any means or merit whereby they may escape their just and eternal punishment in Hell Fire and gain eternal life with God.
But who, with contrite heart have cast their whole-hearted repentant faith upon the mercy of God in Christ, trusting the risen Divine Lord Jesus to save them by His sinless shed blood. (Rm. 3:9 - 5:1) And whose faith is thus counted as righteousness, but it is a faith that will follow Him, being baptized under water and led by the Spirit of Christ in living according to the word of God (and repenting when convicted by conscience of not doing so).
To God be the glory in Jesus Christ.

Snowfern Clover - miniature foods 1:12, 1:24 & 1:48 dollhouse scale: Back to 1:12. distractions.
Mmmmmm coffeeeee...... This post will be more of a personal one, so you have been warned.
But first, Coffee! I had had a few ideas brewing (haha) in my head for more than a few months now, but owing to my limited drawing skills, and lack of experience with Inkscape, I put them aside, thinking I will try again if I had the time. And the energy to fail. Cos, I always fail, at least once. Or twice. Just to be sure.
It didn't start with this logo though. It started with LED lights. I had purchased a roll of LED light strips, and wanted to make some lit signboards, and figured that once I succeeded, everything else should fall into place. It was also always a goal of mine to finish a 'proper' roombox, not a piddly little photography corner - which never got completed, and fell apart after I accidentally dropped my re-ment roombox onto it HAWHAW SIIGHHHH.
My previous attempts at signage lighting were....not well thought out. The lights weren't diffused enough, and not distanced enough so you could see the bulb placements, even through a 1mm thick white acrylic sheet. Now that I have enough spare lights, and a bit more experience with soldering, I decided to give it another try.
which led to my previous post about the ringlight yada yada, and then to the logo.
OOps. forgot to take photos of the signboard. It's actually supposed to be a menu board, but I was a little too busy to concentrate on the menu design. Gave it a forward tilt, 60 degrees IIRC. Though it might seem very 'deep', I will have shelvings at each side, so that will mask it (I hope). The depth is to cater to the diffusion of the light. The 1mm white acrylic sheet helps with the glare, and the logo was printed onto tracing paper and temporarily slotted at the front.
The base of the roombox is exactly 30cm x 30cm , and was a discarded sample that I picked up from the bin area near my ex-office building :X Everything else was either plywood or wooden strips from Daiso.
Grey/white tiles are laser printed sticker sheet that I made a few years ago, that had been languishing in my vverrry thick stash of "might-be-useful-papers". Aluminum sticker sheets from Daiso.
I have done a little more than this photo, put in more polycarbonate/acrylic windows.
Made a wooden form to create some squarish coffee cups, via thermoforming. I -think- the material is styrene sheet, but when I bought it, it was labelled "plasticard"? And it is my favourite thermoplastic to work with. I'm still not satisfied with my clumsy and totally inefficient thermoforming/vacuumform setup, so I'll tweak it a bit more. Curved a piece of plastic around a knitting needle, and drilled a hole in the side to slot it in.
Probably will re-make this, and size it down, it's quite a large mug, about 9cm wide. But I like how it looks.
Also, tried to make more bubble tea cups. My previous batch was ...'passable' but not good enough. I hope this batch looks better. Still trying to figure out how to make 'to scale' working straws....will give it another try later today. These were made with 0.3mm clear PVC sheets from an arts supply store.
Welp. That's it. On to the personal stuff.
Ahma has been hospitalized since 26th March, after a week of persistent back pains. She has been diagnosed with myocardial infarction and fractured spine, but is in stable condition now. They are not considering surgery for her due to her age + risks, and she has been fitted with a back brace to help her move when she gets home.
My health, although worsening, is under management too, with the help from my very very understanding and loving fiance, and an adenomyosis support group on FB. I wish I had found out about them sooner.
I've originally expressed more, but somehow, everything i've written just seems so....irrelevant and reductive. Maybe I am coping better than I expected myself to. That's progress too, and worth noting.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be cryptic. I really did want to write about everything, but...in re-reading it, even -I- got irritated at my own whining. Time to get on with life.
Never feel like you're "whining too much." Don't let anyone else invalidate how terrible you think your life is. It's how you feel and you're entitled to it. And while many may disagree - out of hope for your life improving - things are as bad as you imagine while you imagine it. I don't mean to say you're causing your own suffering, rather the opposite. Things are bad now, but only now, not forever.
I'm the worst person in the world to give such advice, funny enough, as I suffer from clinical, chronic, severe depression. I'm incredibly whiny myself. I'm not fond of living. I wouldn't devalue anyone's feelings of the heaviness they feel in their life because I wouldn't want it done to me.
Be well. It's what people tell me. It gives me no solace to hear it, but it's nice to know people care.
Russell, I have read, and re-read your comment a few times today, as it has given me much comfort. Thank you for sharing. Be well too.
OH MY GOSH!!! That's incredibly amazing!!! Could you please make a tutorial on those bubble tea cups? Especially for the top, how could you bend it smoothly!!! You are really smart, still could not believe that you made these!!! Btw did you stick the logo on bubble tea cups as well?
You are extremely talented with creating miniatures. I never really thought about it until just recently when I got interested in fairy gardening. Only a couple of weeks now. But, to shift from this topic, is your FB mentioned referring to Fibro? I am brand new to your site.


NEW Organic Cotton Baby Wrap From Boba Has Arrived!
The Organic Boba Wrap is finally here!
We're excited to announce the arrival of our organic cotton baby wrap!

We're able to offer this option for just $17 more than the conventional cotton wrap ($65 retail). Read more from Boba founder Elizabeth Antunovic in her latest post Why Choose an Organic Cotton Baby Carrier.

The Boba Organic collection is 100% certified organic cotton. All organic cotton used meets or exceeds the Organic Exchange 100 and the GOTS standards.


Humility- (h)yo͞oˈmilədē: The quality or state of being humble.
Royce Lewis lives by that word. Humble.
In 2017, Royce Lewis was a standout player on and off the field. Last year he hit .279/.360/.407 with the Gulf Coast League Twins and the Cedar Rapid Kernels. His exceptional skills made me wonder. How does he stack up against previous #1 draft picks out of High School?
I have been thoroughly following the Twins minor league farm system for about 2 years now. However, this is the first year that I am analyzing the players and writing blog entries about them. To me, this seemed like a fun and interesting way to view the best players in the Twins farm system and assemble the 2018 Twins MiLB Dream Team!


Two Questions:1) My sail has two sets of reefing points on it. I plan to have at least one ready to use on any given day. I'm not sure what size rope to install. I don't want to over/under so it. Anyone have this answer? 2) My mast sits on the mast step and moves back and forth a little when I wind the winch. Is this slop normal ?  Thanks for any answers.
Submitted by Bob41 on Sat, 04/03/2004 - 10:15.
Bruce; in regard to question #2, how much is a little? Do you have a gray paste at the base of the mast after it's been wet for a while? Is your forestay tensioned properly? Does the slop go away when the jib is up and tensioned? These may be helpful places to look for answers. The factory sells a stainless steel sleeve that fits on the bottom of the mast to reduce wear. It's easy to replace the mast step. One owner spread epoxy along the step and plopped the mast into it to reduce leeway. Hope this helps.
Submitted by Bruce177 on Sat, 04/03/2004 - 10:58.
Thanks Bob, I haven't had the old girl at sea yet since the restoration started so I don't know if there is a grey paste or if the jib tentioning will stop it.: It's a side to side movement (approx. 1/4")at the fwd side of the mast pivoting on the hinge pin. Customflex built: I understand they cut something off the mast bottom for their boats. I do remember reading a message about using epoxy to form a close fitting base on the mast mount. I need to search it out and try that. I've become very familiar with epoxy useage these past 10 months.

Adam Yates riding with 'strongest ever' Mitchelton-Scott squad at Tour de France 2019
Simon Yates also said he will lose time on purpose early in the race to focus on helping his twin brother

Adam Yates
Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) starts the Tour de France 2019 in Brussels with the "strongest ever" team supporting him for the race overall.
Yates will lead the team in the Tour, starting on Saturday. The squad also includes Simon Yates, who says that he is just riding in support of his twin brother.
"This group here, I'm not joking, it's probably the strongest group we've ever been able to put together of the Tour de France," said Head Sports Director Matt White.
"It's the most versatile group and the most depth that we've had across the board. We are not concentrating on the sprint front, our primarily goal is the GC. Stage hunting will come along the way."
Next to Yates, seven support riders sat at Friday's team press conference. Adam will go for the overall again after faltering due in the 2018 edition as he suffered in the heat.
"Our goal, our number one priority is to chase one jersey, that's the yellow one," continued White. "Our goal is to give him the best possible support to get as high on the podium that we can."
Adam helped Simon Yates win the Vuelta a España overall in 2018. In 2019, Simon aimed for the Giro d'Italia but suffered in the last week and managed to finish eighth overall.
Only two weeks out from the start, the team called Simon to race the Tour. However, he and the team say it is strictly to support Adam and his quest for the overall victory.
"Simon Yates has come here to play a super domestique role to help his bother Adam, to return the favour from the Vuelta a España. He'll be building into the Tour and looking to support Adam especially into the back end of the race," White added.
"It's a very tough back end of the race, probably the toughest the Tour de France has ever seen in the modern era, that's for sure, so having a very reliable world class climber in our team in that back end will be crucial.
"We all know Simon's ability and to have him here is really a bonus for the team."
Simon did not use his bike after the Giro d'Italia ended in Verona. He took time and went to the beach to relax. He is now fresh and ready to race again – but not for the overall.
"No. No," said Yates. "I will lose time on purpose, on some stage, I don't know when.
"I really have no ambitions to go for GC myself. I am completely here for Adam. If Adam was not here, I wouldn't be here."
Adam Yates and White both pointed towards the experience the rider has gained over the past years and his consistency this early season. He led Tirreno-Adriatico and placed second overall, he placed second in the Vuelta a Catalunya and led the Critérium du Dauphiné for three days, finding himself only eight seconds behind race leader Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) in the final 50km of the raec before falling sick and abandoning alongside many others.
"Our team was built around giving him the best possible support over three weeks and Adam's had his most consistent year ever," said White.
"We are looking to continue that consistency that he has shown all this year and in the years in the past."
Yates has a mountainous Tour route in his favour. With only a team time trial on Sunday and a 27.2km individual race against the clock at the end of week two.
"The route looks good, it's better than last year with nine to 10 days of flat. We hit the mountains on stage six, and even stage three is tricky in the final. For me that's a good thing," Yates explained.
"If the opportunity is there [to attack early], I don't see why you wouldn't want to take time. The first major hurdle is the TTT, but the last one we did in Tirreno-Adriatico, we won, so I hope that I can gain some seconds there."

Q: Data relationship - looking for solutions I have a problem I need to solve and I'm sure there is a way of doing this, I'm just not exactly sure "what to search for" and how to find it.
I was thinking of doing this either in Excel or I could maybe try to make a PHP script to do it.
So basically, I have a set of substances. Each pair of substances is either compatible or incompatible with another one. So what I have is a table with rows and columns where there is either 0 or 1, i.e. compatible/incompatible.
Now what I want to do is try to find groups of substances, where all substances in that group are compatible with each other. And the goal is to find as large group as possible, or ideally, find the largest, second largest etc. and sort them from largest to smallest (given there could be some limitation for the minimum number of elements in that group).
I hope it makes sense, the problem is that I'm not sure how to solve it, but I think this is something that should be relatively commonly done and so I doubt the only way is writing a script/macro from scratch that would use brute force to do this. This would also probably not be very efficient as I have a table with over 30 elements.
So just to make it more clear, for example here is a simplified table of what my data looks like:
Substance              A   B  C  D
    A                  0   1  1  1
    B                  1   0  0  1
    C                  1   0  0  0
    D                  1   0  0  0

A: If you use only php without database you can use uasort to sort by sum all elements of related array.
<?php
$substances = [
    'A' => [
        'A' => 0,
        'B' => 1,
        'C' => 1,
        'D' => 0,
    ],
    'B' => [
        'A' => 1,
        'B' => 0,
        'C' => 1,
        'D' => 1,
    ],
    'C' => [
        'A' => 0,
        'B' => 1,
        'C' => 0,
        'D' => 0,
    ]
];
uasort ($substances, function ($a, $b) {
    $a = array_sum($a);
    $b = array_sum($b);
    if ($a == $b) {
        return 0;
    }
    return ($a > $b) ? -1 : 1;
});
var_export($substances);

The onward march of science must be an eternal frustration to the anti-Israeli, pro-boycotter crowd.
No sooner have they tried to demonize or attack some Israelis, than one of those smart Israelis produces a major scientific development.
So it is with Ada Yonath of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. She has just won the Nobel prize for chemistry, shared with two other academics who have made a breakthrough in the study of DNA and ribosome.
I wonder if anti-Israeli types will be boycotting the medical treatments that come out of Professor Yonath's work? I seriously doubt it.
In other news, that anti-Israeli fanatic,Vanessa Redgrave, shows just how lazy bigots like her truly are? She argues ' "Tel Aviv is built on destroyed Palestinian villages." True. ', little realizing how false that statement is. Tel Aviv was build in 1909 on sand dunes.
It takes a certain mentality to be so ill informed on the Middle East and in particular Tel Aviv, founded under Ottoman rule, long before 1948, but then again anti-Israeli types are often not too concerned with facts, science or basic history.
