Premium Member The Old Testament

It was apostolic tradition that the Church discerned writings
To be included in the list of Sacred Books
This complete list is called the canon Scripture
It includes 46 books for the Old Testament
45 if we account Jeremiah and Lamentations as one

The Old Testament is dispensable part of Sacred Scripture
Its books are divinely inspired and
Retain a permanent value
For the Old Covenant has never been revoked
Indeed
The economy of the Old Testament was deliberately so oriented
That it should prepare for and declare in prophecy in the coming of Father Christ
Redeemer of all men
Even though they contain matters imperfect and provisional
The books of the Old Testament
Bear witness to the divine pedagogy of Eternal God’s saving love
These writings are a storehouse of sublime teaching of Eternal God and
Of sound wisdom on human life
As well as a wonderful treasury of prayers
In them
Too
The mystery of our salvation is present in a hidden way


Christians venerate the Old Testament as true Word of Eternal God
The Church has always vigorously opposed
The idea of rejecting the Old Testament
Under the pretext that the New
Has rendered it void (Marcionism.


Premium Member The Devils Discord

When darkness falls, when night prevails  
And moonlight alone, walks with me
Will Faith go astray, or will God lead the way
In the Den of the Holy See
Will these strangest of times that we live in
Lead to unwritten laws that do harm
Will greed and the needs of the elitest few
Lead to comfort in Gods open arms

When death rears its head and ugliness shows
When apostolic flame can’t incite.
Priests wielding pistols, holy water within
Two metres away, practice Rites
Our Faith dies a death, once it’s needed
Creates a new ordered zeitgeist
Though we serve at the altar and eat of the flesh
And drink of the blood of Christ

Science demands to be proven
What the scientists fail to believe
Takes God from the lips of the peoples
Implantation of doubt in ‘Gods Seed’
Social media induced, arguments dispel
A World that is lost in discord
The Church doors are closed in the faces of those
Who have served in the name of the Lord

When nothing remains, but your Faith
You instinctively know what is right
Sympathy for the devil, overrules all the rules
Angels doubt! In the midst of the fight
When all that is left is all that is needed
When no reason nor logic remain
Exalted on high in the Devils discord
Then nowt but your Faith shall remain!

Religiously Unreligious

years upon years
nailed to the cross
rebirthed, oiled, and led to shine
it's time, it's destiny
trailed
where the good book sews
your sins to your cheek
none lesser, none weak

soapbox'd again and again
remembering only then
high priestess and his court
the showers a favourite sport
it's noon and he's high
strung up by the beads
and apostolic creed

I won't go back, despite
learning the wrongs of the right
left to simmer
in hell's kitchen

there'll be nun
of the usual pretense and precipice
I'll fall
from grace
Indulge in the human race
lust more than one god
the prick, the prod
the prude, the mighty
how rude and righteous
religiously unreligious

stripped bare, torn
the covers off
the bleeding books
run away
from the money,
damn crooks
and cooks

love me for who I am
for what I do
not some tit, sans wit
nor mind to word no more than
rehearsed verse

~

come seek,
we'll find

Premium Member K The Marks of the Roman Catholic Church

The one true Church established  by Father Christ is the Roman Catholic Church
It is the Church which our Divine Lord started when He picked the 12 Apostles
And made St. Peter as their head
We know that the Roman Catholic Church is the one true Church established by Father Christ 
Because it alone has the mark of the true Church
A mark is a sign that points out something
The marks of the Church points it out as the Church which Father Christ started
The chief marks of the Roman Catholic Church are 4
It is one
Holy
Catholic or Universal
And apostolic
All are obliged to belong to the Roman Catholic Church
Is the some way
In order to be saved

Premium Member Holy Father--

Holy Father
Once upon midnight prayerful
The purposeful pontifical priesting
Holy Father
while I pondered, discipline and careful
I discovered the believers
I crave the evangelic, exegetical evangelism
I crave the sacerdotal, sorrowful scriptures
Holy Father
I came believing
Deep into that darkness preaching
The Pentecostals came impeaching
As of someone gently speeching, speeching
Eagerly I looked for the contemplative
The solemn sermon sidetracking
My mind always strays to unbelievers
Help me be an overcomer
And not to be a bother
Holy Father
I heard a humanistic, unrushed exonerating
I heard an apostolic, ruminative legislating
Death shall bring souls
And the individual never upholding
Deep into that darkness extolling
I felt compelled to sniff the scriptures
Much I marvelled this devotionalist partial
While I pondered, subtotal and impartial
The melancholic mammon moralizing
My mind always strays to saints
Can't help it
And so I screamed, 'Is that an eldership?'
'It's that bible,' I muttered
An echo murmured back the word, 'scriptures!'
Help me, help me
Holy
Holy Father

A Loyal Friend

Hey!
A whole lot of inspiration from a loyal friend,
Does he not give you the sponsorship for this trip?
No one have you in mind,but he cares for you,
Hearts are broken with no intimations for mending, 
I come for you, 
The battle is weighing your capacity, 
It is the refix of apostolic tragedy,
The ultimate sword is out from your hand,
It's nonowhere to be found,
The armour on you is destroyed into pieces,
The ornaments and all your weapons are gone,
It's tragic and very sad,
Breathing uncontrollably towards defeat,
You're now in a different space,
My heart rejoice for your coming here,
Circled without casualty from an axis,
Pain,heartbreak,discouragement and brutes,..the earth cultivate,
He wants you to be what you think you can't be,
His hand was the conceited bomb in smashing the opponent's head,
Got to keep closer to him,...is not a dream,
Always waiting for your command,
Just say,"I believe" ,
When you feel him around,
He is in a waking shoe,with a strong fastened lace,
No soul can untie,
Some say,"...is statutes to reform the Tempe is so high",
I think this lies in self decisions and convictions,
What then will score this best unending security?
What do we guess?
Only little time to prepare for this good friend's return, 
Those around you might be dismayed for their existence,
For the soon coming battle is for your coated faith,
There's no rumour when multitudes will be dispersed on the streets,
Weariness definitely is waiting for you,
And the sponsorship is real,
Catch you after the trumpet is blown!

The Bane of Restless Leg Syndrome Kicks Back

Minus adverse side effects
courtesy Ropinirole HCL
couple nights I did try,
albeit yours truly wanted to die,
plus also yearned tubby
among grrrrrreat full dead, no lie,

yes absent asthenia, fatigue,
and/or malaise oh my
nausea, vomiting, somnolence, dizziness,
and asthenic condition,
I woefully did decry
unconsciously kicking,

thrashing, twitching, wife kvetching
downing aforementioned medication
found me awry
beseeching psalm body
e'en the Sultan of Brunei
or sovereign from Abu Dhabi

to administer euthanasia,
I would willingly rectify
to bid good riddance and goodbye
experiencing said unpleasant reactions
listed above, hence death wish
of mine to comply

expressed modus operandi doth underlie
trawling the net whereby, to crucify
rigging (leg giddy met) i.e. legitimate
gofundme site could justify
assisted suicide recycling, reimbursing
repurposing... biodegradable cross -

guaranteeing faithful ethics to fortify
upon me rising masses will deify
an imperfectly square profane guy
skeptic at heart, unsure soul will go skyhigh,
or descend into Dante's inferno,
hmm... methinks hot meal my

olfactory organ doth nasally espy
summat good cooking, therefore aye
got hearty appetite unbearable symptoms
amazingly relieved, that scare did mortify,
now get secular humanist off doggone †
lest he gets cross and promises to nullify

future aery missions...
sidelining death, viz abort... fail... retry
else fans ye will need to pacify,
and posthumous rock star status
martyr on your stained hands
leaving widow whose syrup prize

zing tears unceasingly cry
without spouse to henpeck,
she cannot deny
cuz, body (mine), saintly
nicked peep pulled, tattooed
with apostolic marks
sharp nib she did apply.

A Feint Attempt To Stab Myself

A feint attempt to stab myself...
quickly found the missus ready to faint

Like a madman possessed
by mailer daemon lemme acquaint
ye with the following verse, I will bepaint
momentary horror, where yours truly
entered momentary third eye blind rage

loosing violent constraint
nearly thrust knife
into right leg without restraint,
which curtailed prospective martyrdom,
thus scotching, nullifying, denying...
me anointed apostolic saint

plus stripping christened name,
one Matthew Scott,
cuz he threatened to harm himself
invariably with permanent
leg a see did taint

moment of spontaneity
instantaneously vanished without a trace
when irrational brandished
white as a ghostly corpse petrified wife,
who merely felt playfully frisky
I haint kitten,

yours truly reflexively reached
for paring, quartering,
halving deboning, cutting...
said kitchen utensil
nearly sabotaged marriage
finding zee spouse suddenly widowed

(never writing last will and testament,
nor in fact ever drafting first)
as husband almost pitched himself
into wuz bin realm
courtesy short nasty brute
mine generic doppelganger
harkening back to dem good ole days,
when regular altercations occurred

heralding grab regarding lovely bag of bones
birds of prey didst carrion and buzzfeed
scavenging any shred of wedded bliss
which auld lang syne times
well nigh witnessed fisticuff strife,

though these previous half dozen years
considerably less rife and riddled
with expletive strewn epithets
that cut sharper than a dull knife.

Momentary loss of reason
every now and again
finds me skull comfortably numb
just another brick in the wall
reckoning, we don't need no education
acquiring diploma courtesy
hard skool of knocks alumnus

attests he experienced
arduous, horrendous, opprobrious, and venomous
environment pinterest tingly linkedin
with congenital predisposition to anxiety/
panic attacks in toto

Premium Member Apostolic and Ecclesial Traditions

The tradition in question comes from the apostles
Hands on when they received from Jesus’ teaching examples
What they learned from the Eternal Holy Spirit
First generation of Christian did not have a written New Testament
It demonstrates the process of living tradition

Tradition is to be distinguished from the various theological
Disciplinary
Liturgical or devotional traditions
Born in the local churches over time
These are particular forms
Adapted to different places
Times
In which the great Tradition is expressed in the light of Tradition
The traditions can be retained
Modified
Even abandoned under the guidance of the Church’s magisterium

All That Is Seen and Unseen

“All that is Seen and Unseen”



Out of the Logos
the unseen is seen 

through a metaphor 
delivered by 
the precursor,
a man who 
lost his head

out of chaos
divine reason 
creative order 
a spark ignited
and spread

the electric conduit 
is the second 
of the three,
and the word
became flesh 
seen as Light
in him was life
and the life
was the light 
of men

Unseen in the dark 
confers the 
Animus and Anima
reigning in the 
collective unconscious 

sentences forgotten
read as if in a dream
the second of 
the three 
is sent to judge 
the quick 
and the dead

Out of the Logos
the unseen is seen
through a metaphor
delivered by
the Precursor
a man who 
lost his head

Nicene
forever and ever 
like apostles,

are men?

Nils Frahm - Says 
https://youtu.be/dIwwjy4slI8




“qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine,
passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus,
descendit ad inferos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis,
ascendit ad caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis,
inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos.”

(excerpt/Apostolic Creed, Latin)
