Topic: What does it take to make water 'Holy'? | |

you splash them with a bucket of water,,, they yell ,,, HOLY ,,, nvm |

It is simply blessed by a father or priest ......
And is great for chasing away demons. True story, My first catholic wedding I was an usher and knew nothing about that religion. So I was doing the usher thing standing up front and got trusty. Well there was this tub of water up front and I got a class and drink it down... The bride who was up front looked at me with this horrified face and asked me, "Did you just drinking that? That is holly water” At that moment I expected to burn inside out but I did not burn. For the record it really does not taste that good |

God is no respector of persons. He came down to earth and lived among
the common people not the high priest or the scribes because no one is better than anyone else. He even washed the feet of the diciples. So why should a man with sins like everybody els be able to bless some water and make it "holy". God is God and thats why we rever him, not any man |

Suede, that's hilarious, but you make a good point.

Thanks jeanc...old joke...

Please excuse my opinion. (I am not a christian).
God has never walked this earth. He is all things such a claim makes no sense. And if you are trying to convince me that Jesus was god... I think not. Not trying to offend just speaking my mind. |
|
|
|
I believe HE walked in the garden with Adam and Eve

trae??? man im not even religious respect peoples faith, catholicism
is the oldest form of christianity it is what they believe and you are obviously an " outsider" to their faith so why be negative towards it like that and then preach about God and what God does.. shouldn't you know God and be understand and recognize that everyone does everything differently |
|
|
|
he has never walked this Earth, he may have verbally " spoke" to adam
if you believe it to be literal ; however, no one has ever seen god which is why there is not allowed to be any depicitions of God, but only Jesus |
|

I was speaking my opinion, not trying to be disrespectful and if I was I
apologize. But, sororitygurl4life, as a expert in the Bible you know it says "holy and reverend is my name" which to me means not to call a man that. You cannot recieve salvation through a human being. So I would contest that you put your faith in God and not a man. But again, thats my opinion |

trae question are you christian?

In addition the likely hood that a man in the middle east had blue eyes
and blonde hair is a little far fetched to say the least. But I dont think that God wants us to focus on that and with us being his creation, he knew that it would. Doesnt matter what he looks like, only that he was |
|
|
|
absolutely
|
|
|
|
.. well just fyi the pictures of jesus don't show him with blonde
hair... and some people in the middle east do have fair skin and light eyes just fyi.. if you're christian then you would know Jesus Christ was a man and in order to receive salvation you have to put your faith through him |
|
|
|
to the contrary, he was not a man but God. And thats why to recieve his
salvation you have to beleive that he was the son of God therefore God himself. |
