More on Covenants

Such a useful link

http://www.tms.edu/tmsj/tmsj10m.pdf

Only through doing this course do I understand why the Jews expected a messiah and the confusion over what type of messiah he would be!

I took for granted that the Jews were searching for a Messiah as I felt disconnected from them, a kind of "them and us", not appreciating my own roots are in them, that they are part of my family too!

Fr Francis Marsdon

Really pleased to have found the archive of all his articles in the Catholic times- have loved his writings for so long.

This is a link about Noah and the Flood which is something I have been trying to understand.. because I want to know was the story at all historic, what was the meaning of the Covenant with Noah- (was he a historic character_

This gives some answers

Also here is a discussion I provoked (provoke might be the correct word!)
