If you ever wanna work undercover, I could probably get you into the Black Mafia Vatican Jesuit Assassins Society. You would be perfect because as a non-Catholic nobody would ever believe you’re working for the POPE. Too bad we lost Alberto Rivera.
Yeah, I know - my Jesuit spiritual director insists that I read Scripture for an hour first thing every morning, and I know it’s because he just wants an excuse to burn me at the stake.

Awesome…can I go by “Blade: Gnostic Hunter?”
Veneration of scripture would not be a problem, as it is not worship. So many, not knowing the difference, cannot tell the difference.I understand your point is. I could be wrong, though, but I haven’t seen any shrines set up for the veneration of the Bible. Just to be fair (like I ever am)
Yes, they were dropping off a book, CD, and DVD set, The Mass Revealed.Since we haven’t heard from her in awhile, I’m taking it that it was.
ohhh, very nice. I want to get that book too.Yes, they were dropping off a book, CD, and DVD set, The Mass Revealed.
No official shrines for mamon either, but it is SURELY worshipped.I understand your point is. I could be wrong, though, but I haven’t seen any shrines set up for the veneration of the Bible. Just to be fair (like I ever am)
The only thing that genetics have proven is that modern Jews originate in the Middle East and are related to Palestinians. The Edomites were a Middle Eastern people (of mixed Canaanite, Arab, and Hebrew ancestry) and even modern Palestinians claim descent from Esau.

There isn’t one. The difference is invented.
Welcome
And you had been doing so well, too! Actually, It is truer to say that the similarity is invented, in denigration of Catholicism. We cannot remove your Freedom! to do that.
No. Only that the people who claim the things you do about Jews despite overwhelming scientific and historical evidence to the contrary, do so for specific reasons and motivations.Typical. If someone disagrees with you that means they are an
'Anti-Semite".
If you were an Old Testament Israelite, shortly after the Exodus, and were found in a tent with a statue of the recently departed Moses, with candles around it, offering requests for prayer, Joshua would not have been able to tell the difference and would’ve clubbed you post haste
As I said before, the only thing science proves about the Jews is that they come from the Middle East, and the historical evidence is in agreement that Modern Jews descend from Esau rather than Jacob, here are some Jewish sources that prove it:

But see, that’s exactly the point. This isn’t the Old Covenant. The Incarnation changed that. God became man, meaning that for the first time, we could see Him physically here on earth. “By becoming incarnate, the Son of God introduced a new economy of images.” CCC 2131. “The veneration of sacred images is based on the mystery of the Incarnation of the Word of God.” CCC 2141. The very reason why it’s now permissible to depict holy images is because we *aren’t * “an Old Testament Israelite shortly after the Exodus.”If you were an Old Testament Israelite, shortly after the Exodus, and were found in a tent with a statue of the recently departed Moses, with candles around it, offering requests for prayer, Joshua would not have been able to tell the difference and would’ve clubbed you post haste
Read St. John’s Defense of the Holy Icons (St. Vladimir seminary press in NY(?) has a readable/enjoyable) addition. He has plenty of patristic and scriptural witness.
