Pator Glenn, Some would say that in the Fall Adam and Eve were dis-graced. Grace being the source of spiritual life and nature as a gift of God when He created them. After the we become new or re-creations in Christ by grace. Emmaus |

1083 | Jesus know all things why marvelled? | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 63392 | ||
Lionstrong, I am sure you did not mean to make a technical theological statment when you said "Jesus is a real human person." I don't knoa if this will add to the discussion but for what it is worth.. Theologically Jesus is a Divine Person (Second Person of the Trinity), with a divine nature who became man and took on a human nature. One Divine Person, two natures, divine and human. This doctrine was proclaimed at Council of Ephesus (432 A.D.)in response to the Nestorian heresy. "The dogma asserts there is in Christ a Person, who is the Divine Person of the Logos, and two natures, which belong to the One Divine Person. The human nature is assumed into the unity and dominion of the One Divine person, so that the Divine Person operates in the human nature and through the human nature, as its organ." "The Council of Calcedon (451 A.D.) declared that the two natures of Christ are joined "in one Person and one Hypostatsis"". This is also called the hypostaic union. "In the Hypostatic Union each of the two natures of christ continues unimpaired, untransformed and unmixed with the other." Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, Ludwig Ott TAN Books 1974 This is the standard orthodox Christian position held by both Catholics and Protestants.It gets pretty technical as it was worked out in response to various heresies that went from one extreme to the other.

Parousia, Being Catholic, I do hold to the Catholic canon by profession as well as by personal inclination. Some of what Protestants call Apochrypha we call Deuterocanonical, but others we also call Apochyrpha. I have the Jerome Bibilical Commentary, The Collegeville Commentary and a few other scattered individual bible studies on various books. Some of those are cassestte tape series. I also like to look at what the Church Fathers have to say about various texts in their writings. In addition I have access to Protestant commentaries, such as Matthew Henry's and others from a neighbor across the street who functions as my father in law. He gave away my wife at our wedding. My wife grew up with his daughters and her parents both died when she was in her mid twenties shortly before we met. He is Prestbyterian and a wonderful example of Christian living. The NAB and the two commentaries I mentioned are Catholic and so unlikely to be found in Protestant cirles and not online except for the NAB. http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/ At least one Protestant stalwart of this forum does have the Jerome Commmentary though. I have seen it in a post or on his profile. The general Protestant market being larger, seems to have more to offer online and in software in the way of commmentaries. There are good Catholic packages out there too, but you have to be looking for them from Catholic sources and generally speaking most people have a tendency to travel only in their own circles. I am a little bit of an oddball in that respect. Emmaus |

Parousia, I see that I also mistyped the Proverbs reference. It is Proverbs 28:13-14, not from chapter 2. I really need to take a typing course. Sorry again! "He who conceals his sins prospers not, but he who confesses and forsakes them obtains mercy. Happy the man who is always on his guard; but he who hardens his heart will fall into evil." Prov 28:13-14. NAB version Emmaus |

Parosia, Generally for this forum I try to stick with the RSV, but I also have the New American Bible (Catholic), The Jerusalem Bible(Catholic), The KJV and The New English Bible from Oxford / Cambridge at hand. If I am quoting from memory it may not reflect exactly any specific translation. Emmaus |

1087 | Is this vision Jesus Christ? | Acts 10:26 | Emmaus | 63273 | ||
John Mosby, The fact that a few verses later (v.10-13 this person who was "sent" says he was held back by the Prince (fallen angel aligned withn Satan) of Persia, and needed a greater angel's (Michael's) help would indicate this is not Jesus Christ, but an angel or messenger of God. Christ, however can be seen in Daniel 7:13-14. Emmaus |

1089 | Them or All of Us? | Mark 16:15 | Emmaus | 63173 | ||
Lionstrong, The Church government theme has been addressed to some extent already, though perhaps not exhaustively. In fact it was briefly touched upon once in an exchange between us under thread # 29291, my post dated 1-17-01, 6:55 pm. In anothere thread #26075 when Hank asked me to adress the question of papal primacy and infallibility. See my posts starting on 12-16-01, 12:37 am. Emmaus |

1090 | Them or All of Us? | Mark 16:15 | Emmaus | 63042 | ||
Lionstrong, I thank God that I come from a "both and" Tradition (e.g. we hold to the priesthood of the faithful, but also the ministerial priesthood). It relieves me of the agony often faced by my friends come from an "either or" tradition. Is it really polite to ask me questions and then ask me not to answer them? I am sorry I do not live up to your streotypical expectation of how a Catholic should be. Witnesses give testimony to what they know, have seen and heard, and Christians believe we can know, see and hear by faith. And we are told to "always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you, but do it with gentleness and reverence." 1 Peter 3:15-16. Emmaus |

Lionstrong, Good point. Which makes me even more inclined to support the secondary application to all believers in addition to the primary application toe eleven who seem to be addressed. Emmaus |

1092 | Is praying to created beings scriptural? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 62922 | ||
John, I did not say you are against me only that we disagree. Nor do I feel I am being piled up on. I am at peace with the realization that some of my theological views are minority positions on this forum. I usually know which those views are and the general nature of the response expected. For the most part, I find the atmosphere here cordial even in disagreement. Emmaus |

John, I think my previous posts have already addressed all your questions to the best of my ability. I don't believe anthing I might have to say would sway you. We are simply in disagreement. But be consoled. In this matter everyone else is on your side, not on your case. Emmaus |

Norrie, You asked:"How does divine relate to us once we're in Heaven?" 2 Peter 1:4 "For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust." Emmaus |

Hank I got your point. It just that the Catholic use of English goes back to the very begginings of the language itself and so we sometimes use even the most archaic usages of the word pray as well as the most current. So we use it in more than one meaning. That was the point I was driving home. But enough said, I am trying to escape this thread. Emmaus |

Ed, Thanks for your comments. I did not intend to start a thread on this subject when I affirmed CDBJ's post on Michael the angel. I only intended to make a connection between the scriptures being discussed and a particular prayer drawn from them which came to my mind. I should have anticipated the result. I had never really make the conscious connection before. In any case I have stated my belief on the subject and am content to let it stand with the clear expectation that it is not shared by anyone else on this forum. I have never represented myself as an adherent of sola scriptura, though I love and revere the scriptures as the word of God. Emmaus |

John, I think I have done enough of a good work for a while in drawing fire away from you and to myself. I think I will now withdraw and let you have eveyone's undivided attention again. ;-) As you alluded in an earlier post, Catholics are even more outnumbered than the unreformed Reformed on this forum. I can only pray for all those saints for support. You at least have Joe and an occasional other supporter who is allowed to post messages since they are still on this side. :-) Emmaus |

Glory, I think it is safe to say that if Uncle Bob is in heaven that he has much greater capacities than we do here as he is now a "partaker of His divine nature" in an even more radical way. I think it also safe to say that the saints in heaven pray in conformity to God's will and Christ's prayer as He is ever interceeding for us before the Father. Prayer for one another, here or in heaven, is one way in which we "conform ourselves to Christ." Do you think you mother in heaven loves and cares for you less because she is in the presence of God or more? If we love God, do we not love what and whom He loves even more the closer our relationship with Him becomes? Emmaus |

Hank, You are correct in understanding as it applies to the sainst in heaven. Obviously there is abundant scripture for asking the saints here on earth to pray for us and with us. Emmaus |
