AbigailPortia Hi Dash

AbigailPortia Hi Loccksley

AbigailPortia oops Locksley*

locksley69 nite femme

locksley69 I was a reader at the Vigil Mass on Sat .. I proclaimed, "A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the Romans.. Corinthinans"

alaskakimberlee Nice

AbigailPortia yes nice

dashace50 Locks lol

locksley69 I make few mistakes when reading ... but every so often ...

alaskakimberlee We have all been there Sean

locksley69 I dare say

AbigailPortia all fall short of the glory of God.....(apostle Paul )

AbigailPortia st Paul*

locksley69 about 10 years ago I was in the middle of reading the epistle and it was completely strange ... I stopped and asked from the ambo, "Am I giving the right reading?" And people from the congregation reading along told me I was.

locksley69 Turns out I'd prepared with the reading for the right Sunday but a different cycle

catholicfemme gbuall

alaskakimberlee I can see how that could happen.

AbigailPortia how do you remedy this in that situation?

locksley69 The answer, when you miss a line or word, is to go back and read it correctly. DO NOT SAY "EXCUSE ME"

locksley69 Never make a reference to the error .. just continue

AbigailPortia I see

locksley69 But that one time . when I found myself reading something that was completely foreign to what I'd prepared for ... I just cdn't contain myself, "Am I giving the right reading?" LOL

AbigailPortia

locksley69 I really enjoy the readings from Acts of the Apostles after Easter, when Peter's speech from Pentecost is spread over two Sundays

alaskakimberlee That is a beautiful time Sean

locksley69 Yes, it is. I get passionate cuz I think just reading that speech does it a disservice

locksley69 It's the first public proclamation of the Resurrection ... it deserves to be passionate

alaskakimberlee

AbigailPortia could I ask and it may a bit doglegged from this.....

locksley69 lol okay

AbigailPortia I read that Luke was a companion of Paul...…….

AbigailPortia and he was a Gentile

locksley69 yea, and ?

AbigailPortia and then they were working to bring the gospel to the Gentiles in their missionary journeys?

locksley69 he was also a doctor

locksley69 sure Abi

AbigailPortia and what exactly does Gentile mean here in this era

alaskakimberlee Non Jew

locksley69 it means "not a Jew"

locksley69 In other words, Abi, There are Jews and there is the rest of the world

locksley69 Angel Baby!!

angel303ba Locks Hello

angel303ba (((((() nana))))) hi

angel303ba (((((( dash))) hi

angel303ba ((((( locks ))))

angel303ba Kim hi

angel303ba Abigail. Hi

alaskakimberlee Good evening Angel

AbigailPortia Hi Angel

locksley69 Why were you asking, Abi?

AbigailPortia I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge on some of these things but I am confused sometimes

locksley69 no need to apologize, Abi. Honest ?s deserve honest answers .. Not everyone is a bible expert

locksley69 not everyone is even conversant in the Bible

alaskakimberlee You can say that again

dashace50 Hi Angel

AbigailPortia In todays times....my understanding is Judaism and Christianity is different?

locksley69 Christianity began as a sect of Judaism, Abi. Everyone involved with Jesus was Jewish.

AbigailPortia so those not born from jewish blood were considered Gentiles?

AbigailPortia in the bible*

alaskakimberlee Yes

locksley69 Everyone whose mother was not Jewish is a Gentile, even now. Eventually, very early on, due to a need for the Christian element to call for all Jews to accept Jesus as the foretold Messiah, animosity arose and there was a lot of conflict

locksley69 And Christians began seeing themselves as calling to the whole world and not to just the Jews

locksley69 Acts 10 and 11 and 15 explain a lot of this, Abi

locksley69 Acts 18 tells how the Jews were expelled from Rome due to the conflicts in synagogues on the Sabbath with Christians by the Emperor Claudius

locksley69 Claudius didn't know the difference so he just expelled both groups as being "Jews"

AbigailPortia will take me a little time to read these, but I will and hopefully it will clear up the confusion

locksley69 okay Abi ... just remember, Gentiles are everyone who is not a Jew

AbigailPortia I will thanks

locksley69 The Gospel reading just a couple of Sundays ago had something about Elijah bringing the son of a Gentile widow back to life, even tho there were other widows in Israel

AbigailPortia he was a miracle worker yes?
