Mystical Body of Christ... bam

In the Orthodox Christian brand of the Faith, the Seven Holy Sacraments are otherwise know as Mysteries of the Faith.

The Mysteries of the Orthodox are Valid and True even to Catholics.

However, the Orthodox view the Holy Pontiff as First among Equals which I happen to agree with.

I really don't think the Holy Pontiff would disagree with that. (Gets into things WAY above my "pay grade")

All divisions in this world are valid though down to those that exist between individual persons.

And yet we are all one as well.

To quote some one much more intelligent than me it is philosophically referred to the "problem" of the one and the many. A paradox, or mystery.

Some mysteries are just meant to be taken in by the senses and appreciated for their unique and inviolable natures.

Unfortunately that is what leaves individuals open to abuse and neglect.

We do not worship graven images and we in fact were made in the Image and Likeness of God.

As I contend in my first book, any "thing" that contains the Breath of God in it (Spirit) is to be respected as in it's yes means yes and it's no means no.

However there is also an order to the chaos that is often our lives.

It is always the fault of the elder when the younger is taken advantage of by them.

The young are innocent and should remain so forever.

An elder is corrupt and liable to the full force of the law should that person take advantage of youth.

Ignorance is no excuse.

As a famous movie said once I think, "so let it be written, so let it be done".

I'll have to look that one up. Just found it in the memory banks.

Have a great and respectful day.
