@@tony1685 from where did you get this conclusion? That Catholicism isn't Christianity.

Opening the mind is more important than the heart. Protestants like to feel important but Catholics know that the will of God required the works of mercy.

@@kevinphillips150 Neither is more important, you need both to have a relationship. No shortcuts left or right.

@@tony1685 The Bible never mentions anything about that in name. So how do you justify this claim? I would say the Bible proves that Catholicism is the True Church. So let us discuss this. For one Catholicism does require both our heart and mind belong to God. Our will, intellect and passions are all to be conformed to His Law and Holy Will. We are called to give everything to Him.

@@tony1685 Going to be a bit longer on this one I just lost my initial reply, so I am going to research this and give a better one. I am taking this as a call to upgrade my understanding on these matters. We are talking about the Church`s relationship with Israel especially the Mosaic Law and liturgical practices, The Old and New Covenants, the Exodus and New Exodus and the New Creation and Christ`s relationship to all of this because Our Blessed Lord is the key to understanding all of this. So let me do preparation worthy of this important topic and make sure I have my facts and evidence straight and my arguments planned out properly. One small note though in the interim, in the Gospel of St.John Our Lord does not specifically say Ten Commandments, but His commandments, I am saying this only because that is inclusive of both the Ten Commandments and the two Greatest Commandments (Love the Lord Your God with all your heart, all your mind, all your spirit and all your strength and for love of God,. to love your neighbor as yourself, and the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount (consider how much the language used by Our Blessed Lord is similar to that used in the Book of Exodus during the establishment of the Mosaic Covenant where there is a blessing countermanding a curse) and to care for the least among us (As seen by St.John in Revelation in his vision of the Final Judgement. The Ten Commandments are absolutely important, but they are not enough. We after all must at least be better than the Pharisees.

@@tony1685 @tony Then what I said still stands, you must not just follow but do so out of love. Therefore something in addition to the Ten Commandments in their letter is required. And that is their purpose and reason. Love of God and for love of God, love of neighbor. By God`s grace alone can we obey Him and love as He loves and calls us to love, to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect. We are made temples of the Holy Spirit at Baptism and justified by Christ and His perfect sacrifice and indeed obedience to the Will of His Father, nothing we do can save us. God is the One Who saves. Under the Law we are all unworthy of Heaven as sin has touched us and so we are liable to damnation but for God`s Divine Mercy in the Passion, death, and Resurrection of Our Lord. We must also have Faith, Hope, and Charity and proclaim our Faith with out tongues our faith is public not merely private. Because if the Pharisees followed but were not saved, then there is a way to follow the Law but not be obedient to God. In the Gospel of St.Matthew 22:37-40, Our Blessed Lord states He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.” Thereby these commandments both are the purpose of the Law and the Prophets, their goal, and presuppositions to all of them. Without them the Law becomes as the Pharisees use it in the Gospel, a cudgel as a means of power, rather than a roadmap for humanity to be as God ordains us to be. The Law of God is perfect, we are not though. As far as the Mosaic Law I admit I was sloppy with my terms there, I am sorry. Reflecting on it my choice of words saying that the Ten Commandments are not sufficient was also poor. Obviously it is all the things you say, but I guess what I was trying to get at is, the Law is not autonomous, it does not exist for its own sake, it works as part of God`s plan for salvation, Christ is the fullness of what the Ten Commandments point to, humanity in right worship and adoration of God, in right relationship with God. Christ is the Son of God and as belonging to Christ`s Mystical Body we so are risen from slaves to sons and daughters by adoption. Obedience as you have said, is important, that holds true, but love emerges rather than fear in spiritual maturity. This dimension is not optional, if we have not love we are nothing, our relationship must go much deeper than mere obedience, it must be in Spirit and Truth, it must be the very ground of our identity and being, everything we do must spring from our relationship with God. God must be our all in all.

I understand. I think it's for us to never forget how much God loves us & never forget our worth. He wants us to enjoy the life He give us. God bless you Friend

Only because that word in scripture means 'those sanctified' (ie holy) or 'set apart for the holy' and not the meaning we tend to have in current English. Similarly the angels are sometimes referred to as the 'holy ones of God' etc.

The Eastern Orthodox Church have maintained the keeping of beards for clerics and bishops in their canons, but the Latin Rite Church until the 16th Century generally did not. Pope Julius II wore one from 27 June 1511 to March 1512 to mourn the loss of the Papal States, and you can read about Raphael's famous portrait of his which is now in the UK's National Gallery. Thereafter, it became permissible and popular among the canons (rules) in the Western Rite churches. There is no basis to associate the keeping of a beard by Christians as a way of identifying them as being semitic or of other religious affiliations as you suggested. Most 'Dark Angels' know this.

@@TyroneBeiron lol thank you for your explanation. Last sentence is so funny, thank God I an a black angel from God

When Fr.Boniface speaks of the Father, do so in prayer, it is a guided meditation on our relationship with God Our Father using Our Lord, Jesus Christ`s prayer as a guide.

Talk about huge distractions... Just look at that beard. Looks like a rat's nest. Must have an entire ecosystem in there 😂

@@mugsofmirth8101 don't act like an idiot. No wonder you can't stay focused on the message and instead are fixated on physical appearance. Open your mind!

Very helpful meditation, but truly would be so much better without the annoying and distracting 'music '.

@@mugsofmirth8101thats not very nice

You are acting like a Moron!

It's not a shame Samson had long hair.

If his superior permits it, it cannot be inordinate. Unless he was being insubordinate.
