We are supposed to take care of them.
I chose Remus because it's a quick online alias. Perhaps Romulus is more fitting, as he usurped Remus, just as Jacob usurped Esaul, and my name is Jacob.
Remus is an RP character.
of mine.
so it fits cross-platform.
(good luck finding me btw. Rag lol)
Yakov means supplanter
same meaning
Very brief summary of how our service goes. Intro hymn, priest greets everyone, we do a penitential prayer, Kyrie Eleison, then sing the Gloria, a prayer, and then a reading from the Old Testament
That OT reading is done by a layperson
Sometimes a woman
Sounds lovely.
That's sexually immoral
(gay)
How is a woman reading from the OT sexually immoral?
Then we sing one of the Psalms, in a call-response fashion the way they were originally sung by the old Jews, and then a reading from the New Testament but not the Gospel
Then we sing Alleluja
And then the priest, or deacon if there is one, reads the Gospel. Everyone stands up for this
Sounds like idolatry, but okay.
Once they start Alleluja the whole congregation stands
It's not, I was being silly. I like to do that sometimes.
Ragnarok, in Churches of Christ women have 0 leading positions, but they do make great singers. Men always lead sing.
Then after the Gospel we all sit and the priest or deacon will preach a sermon, also called homily, based on the readings
Srsly, though, women have more important things to do.
Only the priest or deacon can read the Gospel at Mass but anyone can read the other readings
@saturnsrings What is more important than worship
If there is a deacon present then he is supposed to read the Gospel and preach, not the priest
G-d doesn't want you to worship or do anything else at the cost of neglecting your children.
God also doesn't want people to make superficial spellings of a generic English term that makes them obvious Jews

It would be convinient for you if I were a Jew, because then you wouldn't have to try to justify your idolatry anymore.
the only reason saying god damnit is a sin is because you're cursing something, and if that thing is not a sin, then you're cursing the wrong thing.
Then we all recite the Nicene Creed
You would feel comfortable dismissing me. I was born and raised a catholic, and rejected christianity upon reading then ten commandments at 9 years old.
When was that, yesterday?
But Jesus is God.
close to 20 years ago
So he's 29/30
