Jesus the True Vine

4 Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. 5 I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. — John 15:4-5 | Majority Standard Bible (MSB) The Holy Bible, Majority Standard Bible is produced in cooperation with Bible Hub, Discovery Bible, OpenBible.com, and the Berean Bible Translation Committee.

IF JESUS HAD DIED IN 2000

Paul would be writing his various letters* in the 2020's *the letters that most scholars consider genuine; Galatians, 1 Thessalonians, 1-2 Corinthians, Romans, Philipians & Philemon - a generation later and having never known Jesus in person

Gospel of Mark won't be written until around the 2030's - with no claims of Jesus' virgin birth, ascension and divinity

Gospel of Matthew won't be written until around the 2040's - with the first record of virgin birth, Bethlehem origin, guards & angel at tomb

Gospel of Luke won't be written until around the 2050's - with the first record of a post-resurrection Jesus eating, appearing & disappearing and ascension to heaven

Gospel of John won't be written until around the 2060's - with the first record of the incarnation of Jesus (god-man), divinity claims of Jesus, the seven "I am" sayings of Jesus and Jesus' lengthy discourse with Pilate

This sure sounds like something that people just made up.

Contemplation thus involves having, in Christ Jesus whose face is constantly turned to the Father (cf. Jn 1:18), a gaze transfigured by the working of the Holy Spirit, a gaze full of awe at God and His wonders. [...] It is not by chance that contemplation is born of faith; indeed, faith is both the door and the fruit of contemplation.

Pope Francis (Vultum Dei quaerere, §11)

“The First Stone” (2023) Private commission.

“They said to him, ‘Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?’ They said this to test him, so that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, ‘Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.’ And once again he bent down and wrote on the ground.” - John 8

John 6:51-54, Literal or Symbolic?

51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats ( φάγῃ ) this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”

52 Then the Jews started to argue among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat ( φαγεῖν )?” 53 Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat ( φάγητε ) the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. 54 Whoever feeds ( τρώγων ) upon my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

The original Greek words used in verses 51-53 are φάγῃ / φάγητε / φαγεῖν, they are forms of the Greek verb phago, meaning “eating.”

However, after the Jews begin to express incredulity at the idea of eating Christ’s flesh, the language begins to intensify. In verse 54, John begins to use τρώγων, trogo instead of phago. Trogo is a decidedly more graphic term, meaning “to chew on” or to “gnaw on”—as when an animal is ripping apart its prey.

Why does John use such strong and deliberate language if he isn’t attempting to emphasize the literal nature of Christ’s words? Especially as Jesus is clearly responding emphatically to the wonder and doubt of the Jews.

Why do Catholics love Mary so much? Why not just Jesus?

If Jesus Christ is our Brother, and Mary is His mother, than she is also our mother. The Fourth Commandment is "honor thy father and mother," (Exodus 20:12). One can only conclude we are called to not only honor our biological mother, but also our spiritual mother Mary, as both the mother of Jesus and our mother, since we are brothers and sisters in Christ.

But here's also another way to think of it: We as the followers of Jesus are the spiritual Body of Christ, and He is the Head. And where was His body formed? In the womb of His virgin mother! So if we are the Body of Christ, then, again, she is our spiritual mother.

"But then why did Jesus never preach on honoring Mary?" one might add.

Yet, consider this: Nailed to a cross, the pain it takes to speak is unimaginable, as one has to push down on the nails to lift one's body up to even draw breath to speak. If Our Lord's only intention in His words "Behold thy son!" and "Behold thy mother!" (John 19:26-27) was to ensure His mother was provided for...why not just say it in one breath as something like "Take care of my mother!" unless there was a deeper meaning to His words, unless they weren't only meant for John to hear, but for all of us as we read his Gospel? If Jesus came down to earth to share His Heavenly Father with us...it only makes sense that in His infinite goodness He'd want to share His mother with us as well! Not as a goddess to worship but a mother to honor and seek comfort from just as He did on earth.

For God So Loved the World

For God loved the world, and this is how: he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who trusts in him shouldn't die, but have eternal life. God didn't send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. — John 3:16-17 | Free Bible Version (FBV) The Free Bible Version is a project of Free Bible Ministry; Copyright © 2018, Free Bible Ministry.

[apenitentialprayer]

The Cross is [...] portrayed not as an act of violence that takes Jesus unawares and attacks him from the outside, but a free gift of his very self: "I lay down my life, that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord" (Jn 10:17f.). Here Jesus interprets for us what happens at the institution of the Eucharist: He transforms the outward violence of the act of crucifixion into an act of freely giving his life for others. Jesus does not give something, but rather gives himself. And that is how he gives life.

Pope Benedict XVI (Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration, page 280), trans. Adrian Walker. Italics original.

[catholic-saint-tournament]

do you have any favorite scriptures?

I do in fact.

Romans 8, as an entire chapter, is one of my absolute favorites.

Romans 8:14-17 in particular - we are children and heirs of God

Romans 8:22 also - all creation is groaning for redemption

Matthew 25:40 another favorite - whatever you do to the least of these you did to me

The beginning of John's Gospel is stunning. John 1:1-14. Can't go wrong with that beginning.

Lastly, I ADORE Genesis 1-3. The creation accounts are so rich. I love theological anthropology so these are foundational texts for me.
