    My name is Thomas and my mother told me that they names me Thomas simply because of the impact of his declaration, "My Lord and my God". Even though people call me a skeptic, I do keep coming back to that!

    Dr Brant I came across a passage Pslams 50, could this somehow be connected to how our mass is celebrated? Especially Psalms 50: 23 being connected on how Jesus gave thanks before He broke the bread during passover? The Chapter talks about the covenant and sacrifices with God, would this be connected to our mass?

      @@majesticrainmaker1460 No. There was no capturing. I am part of Syro Malabar Church. The ancient St Thomas Christians in Kerala continued as a single group until around 16th century. With the arrival of Portuguese and they trying to Christianize the population was met with opposition as there were Christians already there. St Thomas Christians opposed latinization and Pope was let known. Pope ordered the Portuguese to preach elsewhere and they settled in Goa. Meanwhile, in Kerala, St Thomas Christians got exposed to Orthodox-Catholic Schism and the church in India also got split. Do you logically there is no much difference between orthodox and catholic sides other than filioque clause. The mass that St Thomas Christians followed was the mass from 1st century in Aramaic, compiled by Addai and Mari, disciples of St Jude Thaddeus. Since St Thomas had mentioned to keep your relationship with Peter‘s church, and since Peter had started the church in Rome as well as in Antioch, and since Antiochian side began to diminish in 16th century, most (about 90%) St Thomas Christians aligned with Church of Rome. They are the Syro Malabar church. The remaining became 2 or 3 Syrian orthodox churches, and adopted a West Syriac Mass. Some of them, in the early part of 20th century aligned with Church of Rome and are called Syro Malankara church. The masses followed are still the ancient forms, translated to modern languages since 1965.

    Some of the Catholic I've known and other denomination didn't believe that Jesus is God but believed that He is only the Son of God. So, they don't really pray to Jesus but instead they prayed directly to the Father which is the real God according to them. In other words they separate the Father and the Son, I think that they're really confused. But anyway, thanks for this teaching hoping that I can share it with them to open their eyes!

    If man thought he alone could tree God the Pharaoh would reward himself all the financial power, and his son would sit at his right hand instead. The Mother would not be honored equal, and her body removed from the trinity. Giving the false impression they are trustworthy men who give themselves the right to break their own laws they impose on others have no business being authority figures. “But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” 23:12 Matthew
    I could have used my time to provide myself a home if I wasn't required to cover his share of physical unpaid obligations for him free of charge, but my body isn’t worthy for my spirit. "We are given no straw, but we are still told to make as many bricks as before. We are beaten for something that isn't our fault! It is the fault of your slave drivers for making such unreasonable demands." 5:6 EXODUS
    When you travel the same road everyday to go to work you will arrive at the same destination. Expecting recognition by assigning a dictator in every household, and degrading me down to a nameless slave is his mistake which lead to the deaths of millions of people.
    Mr. Richie betrayed me in court pretending to represent me for financial control, and power. He worked so hard on my case defending his own personal agenda. He deserves to be praised for giving me the “incompetent” label, because that would make him “superior" then he could justify denying me my human rights. I always wanted to dedicated my time suffering to ensure evil men had an excuse to keep me silent when I’m persecuted for their crimes. It's my dream come true to be slave for a dictator only to be beat, raped, mocked, insulted just to die for nothing. I’m so glad I met him, and could dedicated my time to ensuring he had money. I always wanted to go without a home, and robbed of everything I own. Putting his trust in a vicious beast he holds the body of my daughter up for another sacrificial innocent lamb victimized by my own justice system, because a criminal with intent to harm would rather leave opportunity open to commit crime, and persecute the innocent!
    They don’t have the wisdom to speak for me, and there is no limit to how low an imposter will go to hide his intentions even blame me for the fall of the nation when I am the persecuted Jew he condemned to death burnt at the steak.
    Instead I was punished for wearing man’s clothes found guilty.
    Appearing innocent to lure them into trusting him with financial control everything changes after my daughter is born. “Jesus called a small child over to him and put the child among them." Matthew 18:2
    “Some scholars have dismissed Joan’s trial as a travesty of justice. Hobbins writes.” The judge, Pierre Cauchon, has been denounced as a tool of the English who was willing to sacrifice Joan to further his own career.
    I wasn't expecting him to attack me like a wild animal, and degrade me down to a nameless slave. “Therefore, anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 18:4
    Then the Lord told me about the plots my enemies were making against me. I was like a lamb being led to the slaughter. I had no idea they were planning to kill me! “Let's destroy this man and all his words,” they said. “Let's cut his name down so he will be forgotten forever.” II:XVIII 2:18 Jeremiah
    Betraying his vows the Son grows up to be just like his Father eliminating my role he learns it was his own family he sacrificed in a Holocaust. He denies the one who gave me life is worthy to be honored, and buries the truth with the rest of the skeletons in his closet, and just like the Pope he thinks money will cover what is kept in the dark. The guards were men in charge of her while she was in their custody, and if she wore a dress and satisfied them she would be set free. Jin with the Peircing scream uses her sexuality to pretend like she adores him rob me blind. She is the Mother of ABOMINATIONS, and thrives off suicide.
    Stripping me of my good name, and left to die with no food, water, or a dime to my name I am denied 88000 hours of compensation, and she is Paid!?! Passing the blame Mr. Richie attacks me at my most vunerable, and in his deranged head he justifies using my daughter as debt bondage to teach me I should have stayed silent like all the other females that are raped of their innocence.

      Jesus wanted unity not chaos. The heresies caused chaos. When I became a thinking protestant I wondered why are there so many denominations? The answer is they were created out of the imagination of fallible men. Ephesians 4:5-6, 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all.
      I am a Catholic Christian.
