Joe, Not if it meant what you think it does, for reasons I have made clear before. But we can't be sure you are correct in your assumption. I have to say I have never seen anything like what you have described. I have seen many imagas of Our Lady of Guadalupe and even have one in my home. But I have never seen one with the words around it as you describe. I would be hard pressed to say exactly what they mean to whoever produced it or is displaying it. Who is speaking the words? The Virgin to the Christ child in her womb, the Christ child in her womb to the Virgin, the owner of the truck? Whose is the voice? For all I know it could be some kind of pro life decal. Our Lady of Guadalupe is very prominent in pro life circles because Mary is depicted as pregnant in the image. You speak the language, not me. Perhaps you will be able to ask someone local about it. You can't even presume the owner is Catholic. In these parts, some Protestant Churches hang out big banner images of Our Lady of Guadalupe to draw in Hispanics. Some even celebrate the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe and say rosaries in those churches. I think there is some cross pollination going on here. We might have to fight back by hanging out portrait of Luther and Calvin. At least they were Catholics once. :-) By the way, I can tell my surgeon that my life is in his hands without any connotation of worship. Same goes for my daughter when she is driving and I am riding with her. Sometimes I think I put my life in your hands when I post on this forum. Figuatively and poetically, not worshipfully, speaking of course. I am not sure I fully understand your question on the Eucharist. It lacks your usual clarity. What exactly in Rev 1 are you alluding to? I see it in the other passages you cite, although you avoid the citation of the instituition narratives of the Gospels and 1 Cor 11, which are key to the doctrine of the Real Presence. Emmaus |

Joe, I am not so sure about you fears of Cathlics erring in the way you described. The whole One Person, two natures concept was hammered home pretty hard in the grade school catechism classes of my generation. Others I can't speak for, but I do know what the Church teaches. What her children learn in every case I could not say. As for Christ's finite human nature, don't you think it was transformed and elevated by the Resurrection? Wasn't Christ death and Resurrection meant to transform and elevate our very natures? Something to meditate on. These are just my own personal immediate thoughts in response to you comment, not any theological or doctrinal response. Emmaus |

Crossman, You are welcome. Always a pleausre to give a reason for the hope that is in me. You will find a detailed multi-posting answer to your last question on the intercessory prayer of the saints, along with other subjects like that old favorite, Papal infallability in the archives to which I directed you.

Crossman, As St. Lawrence, the Deacon of Rome, said to his Romnan executioners as they were roasting him on a gridiron: "Turn me over, I'm done on this side." I am relunctant to cover the same ground I have been over before on this forum more than once. You can, however, see my explanation of Catholic belief in the archives of previous discussions.

Crossman, "But do you never answer my question about worshiping mary?" Because I don't worship her. You are under the misapprehension that I do. "Why is mary so important to you?" Because she is the Mother of Jesus, my Savior and whoever He loves I love. Could I ever honor Mary more than God the Father who chose her to be the mother of Jesus, the Son, who obeyed and fulfilled the commandment to honor his mother, and the Holy Spirit who over shadowed her so that she conceived the Son by Him? "Where does it say you must worship mary?" It doesn't and I don't. But is does say in Luke 1 that all generations will call her blessed and I do. "Where does it say she reunites God and man?" It doesn't and I did not say she reunited anyone or anything. God and man are united in Jesus Christ. Nor did I ever say anywhere that Jesus is not her Savior, since He is. "Mary is a vessel who carried the Holy Spirit..." Mary also carried the Second Person of the Holy Trinity for nine months in her womb, "blessed is the fruit of your womb," and the Lord knows how long in her arms. Quite a few privileges bestowed on her by God I would say. Who else in the Bible comes even close? It appears to me you have a lot of misinformation received from biased sources or misunderstandings about what Catholics believe. Don't believe everything you hear and be careful not to misinterpret what you may see. Emmaus |

986 | I have a related question for anyone... | Acts 8:13 | Emmaus | 69609 | ||
Tim, I don't see any tension in Paul either. He makes it very clear elsewhere that the saving faith which he preaches is a "faith working in love" and one that incorporates with "faith," "hope and love. And the greatest of these is love." So Paul agrees with James that "faith without works is dead" and dead faith is not saving faith at all because it does not incorporate "the obedience of faith." Emmaus |

Crossman, If I follow your logic I get this: Mary is not the mother of God. Mary is the mother of Jesus. Jesus is not God. I folow this logic. Jesus is God. Mary is Jesus' mother. Mary is the mother of God. You are correct to say she is not the mother of the Father nor the Holy Spirit, but Jesus is God in the flesh incarnate and she is the mother of Him who is True God and True man. Even Luther and Calvin understood and agreed with this basic Christological doctrine, because they understood that to deny that Mary is the mother of God is to say Jesus is not God and have a divine nature. It is to say there must be two persons not just two natures in one Person. Jesus is not a human person with a human nature who then took on a divine nature. He is a Divine Person with a divine nature, who took on a human nature and the two natures were in a perfect "hypostatic" union within the one Incarnate Divine Person who was born of the Virgin Mary, the mother of that Divine Incarnate Person, Jesus, whom Elizabeth called "my Lord." in Luke 1. She did not say "How is it that the mother of my Lord's body should come to me." If Jesus is Lord, that is God, then Mary is the mother of the Lord, my God. I highly recommend the study Church history and the development of basic Christological doctrines in the early Councils. Mary the mother of God is a Christological doctrine, that asserts the Divinty of the Son of Mary, Jesus Christ. It is about Him, not her and she as always is the willing servant of God used according to His purpose and His glory. She was the stick with which the Church beat the Nestorians. If you don't believe me on this, read the Church history, read Luther, read Calvin. Emmaus |

Joe, Sounded to me like he was denying the hypostatic union. Did not the Council of Ephesus declare the title Theotokos for Mary which is translated in the East as God Bearer and int the West as mother of God? Of course I could have been hasty. It seems to me that in the past you have in confromity with the Councils and Calvin affirmed that Mary is the mother of God. Emmaus |

Crossman, Is Is there more than one Jesus? Is mary his mother? Is Jesus God? If Jesus is God and Mary is his mother, she is the mother of God. We are are not talking about the mother of the Trinity, but the mother of God. In Greek the title is Theotokos, God Bearer. "Catholic bow and my the cross sign across the head and chest, and say hail mary mother of God." Actually, Catholics doe not say, Hail Mary mother of God." When we make the sign of the cross we say, "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." We do not cross ourselves when we say the Hail Mary. When we say that we say, "Hail Mary! full of Grace. The Lord is with you." Luke 1:28, Then we say, "Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death." Please do an internet search on Nestorius and Nestorianism. And also do a search on the Council of Epehsus. You may find some interesting information. Emmaus |

991 | Who is the intercessor? | John 2:4 | Emmaus | 69418 | ||
Inmyheart, The wedding at Cana. "Catholicism teaches that Mary's intercession is recognized by Christ. But this is the only instance on record of such intercession, and though it was addressed to Christ while in the flesh and was concerning a purely temporal matter, it was promptly rebuked." An interesting rebuke that ended in the Lord responding to His mother by solving the problem she brought to Him by performing his first miracle. I suspect the bride and groom would have found her intercession to be rather effective. Catholicism and Protestantism both teach the power of intercessory prayer because it is scriptural. "The prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16 Emmaus |

Kaleo, "What divides us is inaccurate doctrine." How true that is. In passing I mention that the prophets mentioned as the foundation of the Church with the apostles are the prophets of the Old Testament Church, such as Moses and the others. Emmaus |

993 | Are all the 12 tribes in Israel today? | Mic 2:12 | Emmaus | 69335 | ||
Makarios, I have an interesting 4 tape set Bible Study of Romans 9-11 that takes the position that the ingathering of the "lost tribes of Israel" takes place by the spread of the Gospel among the Gentiles among whom the ten tribes were dispersed and disappeared. They are reclaimed by being converted to the Church by the Gospel. It is a rather fascinating and indepth analysis of Romans 9-11. Emmaus |

996 | Greek genitive cases of the word "of" | OT general | Emmaus | 69157 | ||
Ray, "What are your thoughts about being "sealed"?" I will put it in an adult baptism context. My wife was raised a Methodist, but her mother believed in adult baptism. My wife practised the Methodist faith and taught Sunday school for Children when she was in her teens. But she was never baptized until at age 38 she decided, much to my surprise, to enter the Catholic Church. When she was baptized at the Easter Vigil Mass, she was immediatley Confirmed by an annointing with chrism oil as hands were laid on her, with the words "Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit." That is the adult rite of baptism in the Catholic Church. Perhaps that explains why I see baptismal connotations in Eph 1:13. There is an old Latin phrase used in the Catholic Church: "lex orendi, lex credendi," the rule of prayer is the rule of faith, or put another way, as we pray so we believe. Emmaus |

Ray, I understand why you might not see "water baptism" in Eph 1:13 if you do not believe in baptismal regeneration. But for those that do, it is not just "water baptism," but a baptism of "water and the Spirit" in the one event. That is the essence of a sacrament for those who believe that sacraments are signs instituted by Christ to give grace. Emmaus |

Hank, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. I was aware of the friendship with Lewis. They both belonged to a informal group of friends called The Inklings who were Oxford Dons and aspiring writers. I can understand the initial for Clive Staples, but not for John. I wonder is the use of initials was just a common practice of the day in some circles. Emmaus |

Makarios, A interseting bit of trivia about the Jerusalem Bible is that J.R.R. Tolkien is named among twenty seven people listed by the general editor as "principal collaborators in translation and literary revision." Emmaus |
