Is that a joke, or did you seriously think that?
If that's serious, you are wrong - for a start, "Les Bos" doesn't seem to actually mean anything in French.

Really? I had always suspected that but I never found a source to confirm it.

I think its a joke from South Park. Mrs Garrison went to a gay bar called Les Bos.

On a separate note, I just recently found out that Mass isnt just on Saturday and Sunday, it happens everyday of the week veeery early in the morning. Maybe its different in other parishes?

Are there any Catholics on here from the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement, or have ever been to one of their Masses?

They're commenting on your complete and total disregard of what religiois authorities have to say and insistence that your interpretation of holy texts is the correct one.

I believe it's a sign of respect because we don't know how to pronounce his name, so we replace it verbally with the word Adonai, meaning Master. It is also done to show his role in certain matters. Sort of like how Christians, would refer to God as "Father".

Actually that shows utmost respect for God. Those who do that do it because EliYah has told us not to take the name in vain. The natural extension of this is to ensure that we keep the name safe from desecration.

I'm willing to listen to most Rabbis. I may give more attention to Orthodox and Messianic Orthodox over others though.

When speaking of God, Jews say HaShem which means The Name... God is too vast for us to understand completely however we can grasp the meanings of his names and call them sacred.

You apparently don't know what predisposition means.

Messiah said the Pharisees correctly interpret Torah. So I'm following what the Messiah said. Those who seek interpretation from elsewhere may not (probably won't) get a correct interpretation. What is there to gain from a person who preaches lawlessness and reject the covenants of EliYah? Yeshua and Paul didn't preach this message. I don't accept that message.
