“for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.“ 1 Timothy 4 Objects can be made holy by The Word of God and prayer, and by The Holy Name of God in blessing. Grace is imparted to things to make them Holy. That scriptural reference was to Grace said over our food to make it Holy. We call...

What makes objects Holy is grace, and Faith obtains it. Scripture points out that objects touched to the skin of Paul were taken to the sick and possessed and healing and delivering them. “so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their...

How idolatry? If the handkerchiefs and aprons were merely endowed with God’s Grace and taken as such. You seem to be receding into the cessationist argument that God only did miracles in the Apostolic age exclusively to testify to word preached. However, miracles have always testified to the...

Were the sick and possessed seeking healing from a third source in these cases, why couldn’t they go directly to God? Why hadn’t God healed them already? No, we don’t. God’s mercy allows His grace of healing and mercy to be transmitted by a relic to the sick and possessed who cannot “ seek out...

“I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;“ Rev 22:18. Big mistake adding your words to this book.

This is the Exorcism and Blessing of Salt which is added to the water. The Roman Rite. P: O salt, creature of God, I exorcise you by the living (+) God, by the true (+) God, by the holy (+) God, by the God who ordered you to be poured into the water by Elisha the prophet, so that its...

“ Made holy by the word of God and prayer “ 1 Timothy 4:5 Do we make our dinner Holy as a crutch because we lack faith? We have faith that God’s Grace and blessings can act through these objects for our physical and spiritual benefit. Catholics don’t put limitations on God’s power to act...

We sanctify water, salt, oil, candles and incense by God’s Holy Name, Word and by prayer. These make up part of the Holy arsenal by which we conduct spiritual warfare. They have different uses. These things are no longer ordinary, but holy. They are recognised by evil and evil is repelled by...

Catholics bless our ordinary food to sanctify it so that it benefits us in body, mind and spirit by God’s Grace. By invoking God’s Holy Name, His Word and prayer over our food, it becomes sanctified and a means of Grace and blessing. So objects can be vehicles of Grace and blessing. “and...

Well not having faith that God has the power to convey His healing Grace through an object, you would have strenuously rejected touching Paul’s apron if you were one of the sick and possessed, of cause.

“so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.” Acts 19:12 Wow, how Catholic of them? Not something you will see in protestant or baptist circles, bringing relics of saints to the...

No they don’t. Not in my experience. Where?

I’m not saying people can’t go directly to God, we do it all the time. I prayed for a guy that was cured of advanced terminal lung cancer recently and he was healed. However God can convey Grace through people and objects subordinately as well. It’s Scriptural. Your exclusivist view is...

“Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” Heb1:14 Catholics live this spirituality, we use angels all the time, I’ve met them. They serve us and we use them constantly. I sent angels after a motorcyclist who passed me at very high speed. He crashed...

And the third and biblical choice, God conveyed His healing grace through the touch of a relic of Paul. Your understanding is unbiblical, it’s obvious and staring you in the face in scripture and you refuse to accept it.

Well, then the Trinity would be false, since it’s not mentioned in the Bible. We can see clearly in Scripture that grace and healing is conveyed through objects. Paul didn’t just write to them and say just have faith, at the touch of the object the grace of healing was imparted. Protestants in...

Arguing from absence isn’t an argument. However the use of spittle and mud shows healing conveyed through objects. Paul’s handkerchief. Those who understand spiritual warfare know that there is a physical element to it. Objects can be blessed or cursed objects. Those who practice black magic...

When people say they are cessationists, I understood they don’t grasp the spiritual realities nor have been exposed to them. I have had powerful experiences that leave me in no doubt.

A friend got very sick and oppressed, doctors couldn’t explain it. In prayer we discerned that his wife was the cause, she had taken up reke and Wicca and a number of other occult practices according to my friend. When she went to a Robbie Williams concert with her witchy friends one night...

Zwingli was the first guy on the planet to enshrine denial of sacrificial Mass and the Real Presence in the Eucharist. A real trail blazer. All of Christianity for the preceding 1500 years believed the opposite. The reason you don’t believe in sacrificial mass and the real presence, you get...
