Amen

Beautiful service!

Thank you Primus Mark and the Team. Blessings, Emmanuel

Seeing modern examples of the stations of the cross is profound. 27:15 Amen!

Thank yo for the great sermon and beautiful organ playing.

Inspiring service. Just when I felt a need of renewal I was renewed thought this. Thank you, Bishop. Thank you Lord God. Erica Aberdeen

Thank you. everything about this sermon and the readings and prayers were so helpful that i am sending it on to a friend. why did the Rt Rev Ames, Bishop of Edinburgh say ,"even American English?" Is that to your ears in Scotland the oddest or least desirable kind of English? I have been attending your services by RUclips for a couple of years now from my home state of California in the U.S. I have noticed many Scottish accents in your services, and we, too, have many accents in the U.S. It was nice to hear a reading in the Spanish that is spoken here in our town in California. I am afraid if my spouse and I ever make it to Scotland to attend a service in person, we may be shunned for speaking "American English." We could speak Spanish if that would go over better. In truth, the Americas, sometimes called North and South America are, to the people living in South America, all one America, a fact which even many North Americans do not realize. I love your sermons, Bishop Ames, but this mention of "Even American English" worries me as going to counter to the message of this sermon. I hope I have misunderstood. I don't know if anyone will see or read this.

What a lovely guy!

A wonderful Sermon, +Ian. I am 81 and have learned that sometimes it is simply wise to be conventional. I wonder when the clergy, male and female. will grow to let these 'dangerous ' women simply be who God planned them to be, and encouraged to use their gifts without feeling threatened by them.

thanks for the GREAT sermon!

A charlatan masquerading as a.Bishop - diabolical. A female cannot be an ordained minister of the church.

Oh dear, was the choir and congregation late again today? How can this person be a Bishop? She is a woman. Women are not allowed to be ordained ministers of the church.

I will never accept a female as a so called ordained minister of the church. That is an abomination.

Thank you. As usual, you, Rev. Swift, gave a very useful and applicable sermon. Since I am physically unable to go to the Episcopal church where I live due to spinal problems, and you have kindly put your services online during the pandemic, they have been sustaining me throughout the past year or so. Thank you so much for all of your excellent priests and curates and bishops, especially the bishops who seems to get rid of their mitres as soon as possible or leave them in the sacristy, probably because your bishops are more interested in encouraging people to go on than to impress them with revered headgear. Also, thank you for the lovely views of Scotland that you post, and that they are new ones each week. I imagine that many people are renewed each week by your efforts. It makes all the difference to be able to take the eucharist with you and to be reminded of what my intentions for the week should be. Thanks a thousand times!

thanks from California. the readings were very expressively done, and the message was a wake-up call. Also, it was nice to be able to sing with the congregation. It was good to hear an organist who did not make it too fancy to easily sing to. The habit used by others of making the last verse in a minor key and also putting many flourishes always throws me off. This musicianship today was very considerate.Thanks!

Grateful for your keeping alive the witness of the church through ancient spiritual practice.

Thank you, Michael. That was really clear and helpful. Kind wishes

Thank you, Dr. Hull for the second part of the Lent Course. With shalom, Emmanuel

Thank you Michael Very clear teaching.

( Do Christians And Jews and "OTHER" non-Muslims go to Heaven? ) Quran 2:62 '' Those who believe (in the Quran) and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures) and the Christians and the Sabians->ANY<- who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve.( ie On judgement day ) Note: The idea of “salvation” in Islam is here made conditional upon three elements only: 1) belief in God, 2) belief in the Day of Judgment, 3) righteous action in life. ( According to the Quran Christians and Jews worship TRUE God ) (Quran 3:113-114) '' Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book (ie Christians and Jews ) are a portion that stand (For the right) They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.'' Note: According to the Quran that Jesus is not God nevertheless Christians still worship one TRUE God. ( >Allah< Is The Protector Of Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues And The Mosques ) Quran 22:40 [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, " Our Lord is God " And were it not that God checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of God is much mentioned. And God will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, God is Powerful and Exalted in Might. Note: Why did Allah protected Churches and Synagogues if they worship false Allah ? ( Why Are There So Many Different Religions In The World ? ) Quran 5 48 ''...... If God wanted He could have made all of you a single nation.( ie single religion ) But He willed otherwise in order to test you in what He has given you (ie Scriptures) therefore try to excel one another in good deeds. Ultimately you all shall return to God then He will show you the truth of those matters in which you '' >DISPUTE<'' NOTE: Quran 3:85 '' If anyone desires a religion other than Islam ( ie "submission" to God ) never will it be accepted of him and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost ( ie entry into Heaven ) My explanation of above verse The word Islam is a > verb < not noun like other religions Islam mean "submission" to God ( The above verse saying is that God will not accept a religion from the >MUSLIM< and the Non-Muslims but total "submission" to God ) Question: How Can Muslim And the Non-Muslim "submit" to the God? Answer: Be kind to other human beings and Do not lie, Do not steal, Do not cheat, Do not hurt others, Do not be prideful and Do the charity work. Note: If you obeyed all the ABOVE Allah-God's moral laws "YOU" submitted to God.( ie Islam mean "submission" to God ) The only people who will enter Paradise those who '' Submitted to God '' ( ie by good deeds ) God does NOT accept your religion of birth but only ''Your Total'' Submission to Him. ( God Allows Interfaith Marriages And Eat Food From the Christian And Jew And Vice Versa ) Quran 5:5 ''This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture (ie Christian and Jew) is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers (ie Muslim ) and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture (ie Christian and Jew) before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless and he in the Hereafter will be among the losers.'' Note: > Only < Islam allows interfaith marriages (>14 hundreds<) years ago. Today even Sunni Muslim and Shia Muslim do NOT marry each-other. ( Shame ) ( Muslim, Christian, Jew And All The Other Human Being Worship The '' Same God '' With Their Own Ancestral-Inherent Understand of God ) Quran 29:46 '' And do not argue with Christian and Jew except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you.>>And our God and your God is one<< and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him." Note: God is God of all- every humans not just Abrahimic faiths. It will be a shirk to set up a God for others. God answered prayed regardless of anyone religion. All the world MAJOR religions came from >Same God< but They are >ALL Corrupt< more or less, some more than others from their original foundational teaching. The older religion are MORE corrupted than newer religion. Question to Muslim and Christian: Does God / Allah only answer your pray ? And God / Allah does not answer non Muslim / non Christian pray? Did Allah '' Canceled '' all other religions Judaism and Christianity? Quran 5:48 '' And We have revealed to you [O Muhammad] the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture ( ie New and old Testament ) and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. >>>TO EACH OF YOU WE PRESCRIBED A LAW AND A METHOD<<< Had Allah willed, He would have made you >>one nation<< [ ie single religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah-God is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to >>differ<<.'' Note: Judaism, Christianity and other religion are valid path to God. ( Allah says to Jew to follow Old Testament 'NOT' The Quran and not to follow the Prophet Muhammad) ( Allah says ) Quran 5:43 '' And how do they ( ie Jew ) make you ( ie Muhammad ) a > Judge < while they have the Old Testament wherein is Allah's judgement ?....." What is The '''' Quranic '''' Ruling Regarding The Fate of Non Muslims? Quran 4:123 '' Paradise is not [obtained] by your ==>( ie Muslim) wishful thinking > NOR < by that of the People of the Scripture ( ie Christian and Jew ) Whoever does a wrong will be recompensed for it, and he will not find besides God a protector or a helper. Question to Sunni Muslim: Do you believe only Muslim go to Heaven and which Sunni sect of Muslim go to heaven? { There are many Sunni Muslim sects } Hanafi? Shafi? Hanbali? Maliki? Salafi? Sufi ? etc? Did Allah chooses you to be born in Muslim family or it was your choice ? Did non-Muslim chose to be born in non-Muslim family ? Muslim you are going to heaven NOT because you chose Islam to be your religion BUT because you born in Muslim family.... correct ? Non-Muslim will go to hellfire because they born in non-Muslim family.... correct? It is fair for non-Muslim to find truth outside their religion to go to Heaven while you don't ? ( You '' MUST '' know how to become > qualified < for to enter Paradise ) On the day of judgement God will ''NOT'' judge humanity bases on Sunni Muslim sect VS Shia Muslim sect ''NOR'' by Muslim VS non-Muslim >but< Doer of Goods VS Doer of Evils. '' YOUR " birth in the Muslim's family is NOT a > qualification < for to enter the Paradise. '' YOUR " religion / sect / foot long beard is NOT a > qualification < for to enter the Paradise. The > qualification < to enter Paradise is > Faith in God and Good Work <. Quran 41;30 ''Surely those who say, “ Our Lord is God ” and then remain steadfast, the angels descend upon them saying Do not fear nor grieve. Rather, rejoice in the good news of Paradise, which you have been promised'' Note: On the day of judgement Angels will gives good news of Paradise to those who did good deeds to '' CALM '' you down so you do not panic. In the sight of Allah Atheist and non-Muslim are equal in deeds? ( Atheist In The Quran ) Quran 25:44 '' Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock. Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.'' ( Christians In The Quran ) Quran 5:82 ''.....And you will find the nearest in love to the believers (ie Muslims) those who say: " We are Christians " That is because amongst them are priests and monks and they do not behave proudly '' Christians, Atheists, Rapists, Killers and Shia-Muslim destined to HELLFIRE all together ? Ethiopian's Christian King Najashi who ''SAVED'' early Muslims lives will he go to hell? Abu Talib who protected the Prophet of Allah will he go to hell? Abu Lahab, Pharaoh, Satan and Prophet Muhammad's beloved mother Aminah, will be in HELLfire... correct ? Explain to me why does Prophet's mother DESERVED Hellfire? she died BEFORE her son's Prophet-hood. I am 100% SURE if Prophet's mother lives to see her son Prophet-hood she would have accepted Islam. Your mother will enter Heaven and your Prophet's mother will enter HellFire. My final conclusion: The '' BASIC '' message of God to the human is that '' YOU '' believe in God and be kind to other human beings / ANIMALS and in the RETURNED God will reward you with a new life in Paradise. * The Quran ONLY guides you how to become a good human being "Nothing Else". * You are a good human being or a bad human being that is YOUR choice. * No one can force you to become a good human being. * You MUST work HARD to become a good human being. * Why should ''YOU'' do good deeds and avoid bad deeds? * Do Good - it's for You. Do Bad - It's against you. * '' YOUR'' life is a TEST from God that you will choose to do either Good or Bad. * Find the excuse to help others and forgive others NOT the other way around. * '' YOUR '' final destination is either Hell or Heaven. * So work HARD toward choice of YOUR destination. Quran 17:7 " If you do good, you will do so for your own good. And if you do evil, it will be to your own loss." b

The Lord's Day Sunday, Week 24, Ordinary Time Isaias 50:4-9 The Lord hath given me a learned tongue, that I should know how to uphold by word him that is weary: he wakeneth in the morning, in the morning he wakeneth my ear, that I may hear him as a master. The Lord God hath opened my ear, and I do not resist: I have not gone back. I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them: I have not turned away my face from them that rebuked me, and spit upon me. The Lord God is my helper, therefore am I not confounded: therefore have I set my face as a most hard rock, and I know that I shall not be confounded. He is near that justifieth me, who will contend with me? let us stand together, who is my adversary? let him come near to me. Behold the Lord God is my helper: who is he that shall condemn me? Lo, they shall all be destroyed as a garment, the moth shall eat them up. James 2:14-18 What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him? And if a brother or sister be naked and want daily food: And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit? So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself. But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works. Shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith. Mark 8:27-35 And Jesus went out, and his disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom do men say that I am? Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and others as one of the prophets. Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ. And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of him. And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests and the scribes: and be killed and after three days rise again. And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him began to rebuke him. Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savourest not the things that are of God but that are of men. And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel shall save it. THE WORK app.mariavaltorta.com/sgen149 THE GIFT holywounds.net/the-promises/
