I've always thought it seems a little too heathen, but if you're just thanking people in a stylistic manner, how can God have a problem with that?Susehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963978564827962171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-73055764383974221862009-06-01T02:46:25.862-07:002009-06-01T02:46:25.862-07:00To add to bill7tx's comment, in fact Jesus had no ...To add to bill7tx's comment, in fact Jesus had no intention of forming a "break away" sect, he spoke often of fulfilling Judiasm, and having come FOR the Chosen People. The Early Church wanted to remain Jewish, and also be Christians. To make a long boring history lesson short, the Jewish authorities booted them out of the synagogues and criminalized them. So in effect, Christianity became seperate from Judiasm because the Jewish authorities of the day were "mad at" them, not the other way around.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930002347106840484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-17214282283049599932009-05-30T15:58:29.871-07:002009-05-30T15:58:29.871-07:00Katy, Christianity came about because Jesus was an...Katy, Christianity came about because Jesus was and is and will forever be the fulfillment of God's covenant with humankind. It was always the Plan. God had it in mind from the creation of the universe, even before He created humankind. It did not come about "because Jesus was 'mad at' the Jewish leaders of His day." He died for them too.bill7txhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583247635887386447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-59960601303464452282009-05-29T10:10:14.675-07:002009-05-29T10:10:14.675-07:00Hello Sister

This post ma...I am so happy I came here today ! <br /> This post made me think of in the beginning of our formation in the DJM program of S.O.L.T ministries is prayer in your life written by Father Pinto . One of the methods of prayer we learn is the name of Jesus prayer . I'm not sure but I think this is from the Jesuits ? Maybe one of ST.Ignatias 's spiritual exercises ? Anyway Fr. Pinto has us do this in formation and prayer is our first part of formation .<br /> This way saying your name of Jesus prayer is like the sylleble sound but it is so great because your focus is always on Him . maybe you could do a search on this method of prayer . <br />My prayer started off as Jesus I trust in You and gradually just became His name . we say this as we breath in , breath out . Always having Him in each breath ! It is pretty awesome . no need for <br />OM ;-) what so ever . <br />I think alot of the want or need is mostly based on wanting to fit in with popular culture . everyone is capable of wanting to fit in . However it sure dosen't make it right just because everyone is doing it . <br /> Thank You for this post sister .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-81773111946064548912009-05-28T18:24:21.036-07:002009-05-28T18:24:21.036-07:00That cleared a lot of things up, which I liked.

I was listening to EWTN in the car one day and they were saying how yoga is a good exercise, but the whole thing about finding your insides and what not through me off. They did mention that it is against our religion, do you think you could clairify it for me a little more Sister? I don't know if maybe I misunderstood them or I just didn't get what they were saying. But the meditation topic today was most helpful, thanks!<br />God Bless,<br />the young artistThe Young Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824087140885851403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-55987030089839659672009-05-28T16:57:29.352-07:002009-05-28T16:57:29.352-07:00"So you can be part of the One True Church founded..."So you can be part of the One True Church founded by Jesus while he was alive on earth, or you can be a part of some church founded by some person who was mad an somebody, somewhere, sometime."
