AND "That's why I feel sad that Protestants miss out on the Book of Tobit, too"<br /><br />I joined the Church as a teenager but left soon after to attend another church with a girlfriend. Even so, I still held onto my Catholic Bible a priest had given me and used to love to whip it out at Bible studies. Many were the nights you'd hear yells of "But that book doesn't count!" Afterward, though, I'd often catch them flipping through them because the stories were so enjoyable.EegahInchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055947542189758831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-87233511057578891772009-05-02T19:57:00.000-04:002009-05-02T19:57:00.000-04:00That's why I feel sad that Protestants miss out o...That's why I feel sad that Protestants miss out on the Book of Tobit, too: blindness caused by bird poo, an angel in disguise, a giant fish, a groom-killing demon, etc. <br /><br />And speaking of the 300, remember in 1 Maccabees 12 that Arius had sent a letter of friendship to the Jews and they basically said, "We don't need Spartan and Roman alliances because we have the Lord on our side, but don't be strangers because you're like family." (Although, come to think of it, 1 Maccabees is a lot of letter-writing in between the battle scenes...)MissJeanhttp://jmbalconi.stblogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-19761777398152573912009-05-02T17:05:00.000-04:002009-05-02T17:05:00.000-04:00First thought:

Just wanted to clear that up.<br /><br />Second thought:<br /><br />While I was watching this I kept thinking, "Gee, Super Ninja Barbie, these new majorette routines are hard!" :)Niall Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544682350629002025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-24896956368341634312009-05-01T21:53:00.000-04:002009-05-01T21:53:00.000-04:002 Maccabees is one of my favorite books of the ent...2 Maccabees is one of my favorite books of the entire Old Testament. My priest said one day he is going to do a Bible study on the book and use "Braveheart".<br /><br />I would totally pay to see a movie made on Maccabees, especially made by Mel Gibson...that would be so awesome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-71669405389602151832009-05-01T21:09:00.000-04:002009-05-01T21:09:00.000-04:00"...not to be nit-picky..."
It ain't nit-picky if..."...not to be nit-picky..."<br /><br />It ain't nit-picky if you're right :) I'll correct the post right away.<br /><br />"Wasn't Mel Gibson going to make a movie on Maccabees?"<br /><br />That would be a good fit. He's probably got some spare body parts and a few gallons of stage blood left over after Apocalypto, so all he would have to do is teach his Aramaic speaking actors a bit of ancient Greek and its good to go.EegahInchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055947542189758831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-64112220436031656282009-05-01T17:05:00.000-04:002009-05-01T17:05:00.000-04:00"Those guys from 300 look like such total weenies ..."Those guys from 300 look like such total weenies in comparison to this Razis fellow."<br /><br />LOL<br /><br />The clip reminds me of Sampson taking out 1,000 Philistines with just the jaw bone of an ass.

One thing, not to be nit-picky, but when you wrote "St. Augustine certainly doesn’t buy wholly into the martyr idea when he writes in the Summa," I think you meant St. Thomas Aquinas, who is quoting from Augustine's City of God.<br /><br />Love your blog.
