Oftentimes some would ask: “can we find a biblical reference for all the sacraments of the Church?”  And after being presented with many verses which attest to each sacrament, they would respond and say that these verses can be interpreted differently and do not necessarily refer to what we call “the sacraments.”Thus, we find ourselves in an unfruitful debate because the founding premise of our discussion was faulty to begin with.

The Bible is the book of the Church. She wrote the Bible through the Spirit, our fathers the Apostles wrote it, as did the prophets before them.

In the previous articles, we have discussed the Divinity of Christ from two perspectives:

We discussed in the previous articles that Jesus has all the attributes of God and His power, and so He is full Divine, and He is God manifested in the flesh.

First: Christ has all the Divine characteristics [God’s epithets]

First: Christ has all the Divine characteristics [God’s epithets]

First: Christ has all the Divine characteristics [God’s epithets]

First: Christ has all the Divine characteristics (God’s epithets)

First: Christ has all the Divine characteristics [God’s epithets]

The divinity of Christ is the cornerstone in the Christian faith and is the foundation for the salvation of God’s children. Christ is God manifested in the flesh or, according to the expression of the Bible, "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself" (2 Cor. 5: 19). The redemption was not to take place without God Himself. He provided the unlimited ransom and forgiveness for all human sins... If Christ was not full in His divinity and of the same essence as the Father, then He would not be able to reconcile us with the Father and the sacrifice of His cross would not be able to forgive our sins or to save us from eternal death.

+ As humans, our knowledge is limited. And frequently we come across information which is incomplete and with many unknowns, or let us call them “gaps.” In order to have a complete picture, we need to “fill in the gaps,” and we should do this through asking questions, researching, and investigating in order to garner more information on the subject at hand and have a clearer view.

There are small things in our life that we may disregard, but make a huge difference in our life if we were more attentive. They’re simple matters, but the effects are worth noting.
