But Ad-o and Sassy claim to be christian. This is not from the New Testament but the Old Goatherder's Book of Myths and Fairy Tales ... err ... Old Testament and so predate christianity.
According to Wikipedia, the bit which is quoted is about the incarnation and the gate is Mary.
HH,
Christianity, is not the faith it is an insult name given to those who believed Christ to be the Messiah.
It IS NOT a claim to be Christian but rather to be Jewish in that we are grafted in to the Tree so to speak because we believe
in the Messiah which is what the first Jews believed/believe.
According to the OT and the quoted scripture from Ezekiel it speaks about the Messiah NOT Mary.
If the truth be known the Roman Catholic Church is NOT the Church Christ set up and which Peter and Paul all preached about.
When the Romans hi-jacked the central belief of Christ they added their own pagan beliefs about their black madonna and child.
Then tried to centralise around Mary who whilst blessed amongst women was nothing to do with Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the great theme of things.
The true Church is built on two things.. Spirit and Truth through Christ Jesus. The truth about Jesus Christ and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. All these gates and we know the only way to enter is through Christ.
Everyone has fallen so far away at times because of the teachings of men. One way only Jesus Christ and it comes by faith in him and his words from God. It has nothing to do with human teachings and beliefs.
