1281 | satan and his power?!?!?!?!?!?hmmmmmm... | 2 Thessalonians | Emmaus | 96885 | ||
DL5, Jesus defeated the enemy, not us. Jesus can bind him. Scripture written to Christians by the very Peter whom you say had the power to bind demons warns us not to be overconfident in dealing with the devil ourselves but rather to rely on God while resisting, without reference to us binding: 1 Pet 5:7-11 "casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen." I say this as one who believes in exorcism. But even for an Exorcist the first intruction is not to match wits or strength with the demon, but to rely conmpletely on the power of God with and through "prayer and fasting" as Jesus told his disciples. It may seem a fine distinction, but I believe an important one. Not every Christian is an exorcist, nor would most want to be, I suspect. It is spiritual warfare at a high level and there are sometimes real casualties. Emmaus |

Taleb, Indeed, Jesus is the Temple, is the Altar, is the Priest and is the Sacrifice of the New Covenant, which is why in Revealtion the New Jerusalem does not have a temple. It has Jesus! Emmaus |

"If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." 1 Timothy 5:8 "How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a vagabond, and want like an armed man. " Proverbs 6:9-11 |

WTB, Theologoy has ben defined in a nutshell as: "faith seeking understanding." Faith and eeking understanding are not incompatible. Nor are the two imcompatible with a personal relationship with God. All theology is not bad nor is all theology good. Emmaus |

Hi Zsuzsi, I never cease to be amazed at your facility in English. You write better than many whose mother tongue is English. You may find this letter on the topic in question of interest. It was written by a well known Eastern European preacher of whom you may have heard. http://www.ewtn.com/library/PAPALDOC/JP2MULIE.HTM God bless! Emmaus |

1290 | Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Emmaus | 123630 | ||
Hi Zsuszi, The previous link I gave you deals with the general concept of the dignity of women. Below you will find a link to a much shorter document regarding the reservation of priestly ordination to men, which of course is a very different thing from the ministry as understood in Protestant communions and even different from the understanding of priestly ordination in the Anglican communion. I thought it important that the first link was presnted before this one, so that the whole context of the subject is preserved. Ministry in the broader sense is fully open to women and has been exercised to the great benefit of the Church since its founding by Christ.

Junmeskie and msgzzz, I am Catholic and have been on this forum for three years. It is a Bible Study forum. It is not about pushing a particular agenda or getting in the face of others. Those who bash Catholic and the Catholic faith have had their privilege to post revoked. We are not here to have endless debate. Please respect the fact that all of us are guest here and the host organization is a Protestant company. They could make this a forum closed to Catholics if they wished. Curtsey toward the host's background is a minimal expectation. You are free to discuss scripture and to put forward the Catholic position on scripture so long as it is done courteously and with the understanding that your Catholic position may be debated or challenged.

Al, I would like to offer a little background history. I have been on this forum since November 2001 and have established friendships with a number of the other longtime members with whom you are interacting. If you search my archived posts you will see that we have even covered much of the same territory being covered now. During my time here, other posters, now gone, have made intemperate attacks on the Catholic Church. They were rebuked by the same people with whom you are interacting. The posting privileges of the abusers were revoked after abuse complaints, not by me but, by other Protestants on this site. Your will notice that one of the rules here is against pushing denominational biases and also against Arminan / Calvinist debates. This is an in house Protestant dispute. Some have been revoked because of violations of that rule. I hope you will post on threads other than Catholic / Protestant controversies since this is really a Bible Study Forum and there are many areas of interest in which we have common ground with our "separated brethren." This is a place for civil and charitable study of biblical questions. Making one's point and moving on without expecting agreement or conversion is important. Otherwise this site will become nothing but an endless debate forum. Charity and a broad interest in scriptural questions and study is essential to longevity on this Forum. I look forward to seeing your posts on other threads. Emmaus |

CDBJ, I was merely pointing out that 20th Century American style prohibitions on tobacco and alcohol have no warrant in Scripture nor Catholic or Reformed Christianity. The prohibition movement are American cultural phenomena, sometimes wrapped in a denomination religious cloak, not a mandate of Scripture. Which, I hasten to add, is not an endorsement on my part of either smoking nor alcohol abuse. Emmaus |

Ellemen, In addition to Hank's good advice, may I suggest you get a Bible with good footnotes and crossreferences for when one passage of scripture refers to, quotes or alludes to another passage of scripture. In addition, below you will find some good quidelines for the study of scripture. "The senses of Scripture 115 According to an ancient tradition, one can distinguish between two senses of Scripture: the literal and the spiritual, the latter being subdivided into the allegorical, moral and anagogical senses. The profound concordance of the four senses guarantees all its richness to the living reading of Scripture in the Church. 116 The literal sense is the meaning conveyed by the words of Scripture and discovered by exegesis, following the rules of sound interpretation: "All other senses of Sacred Scripture are based on the literal."[83] 117 The spiritual sense. Thanks to the unity of God's plan, not only the text of Scripture but also the realities and events about which it speaks can be signs. 1. The allegorical sense. We can acquire a more profound understanding of events by recognizing their significance in Christ; thus the crossing of the Red Sea is a sign or type of Christ's victory and also of Christian Baptism.[84] 2. The moral sense. The events reported in Scripture ought to lead us to act justly. As St. Paul says, they were written "for our instruction".[85] 3. The anagogical sense (Greek: anagoge, "leading"). We can view realities and events in terms of their eternal significance, leading us toward our true homeland: thus the Church on earth is a sign of the heavenly Jerusalem.[86] 118 A medieval couplet summarizes the significance of the four senses: The Letter speaks of deeds; Allegory to faith; The Moral how to act; Anagogy our destiny.[87] " The Catechism Emmaus |

1300 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | Emmaus | 94413 | ||
gbennett, Why the sudden attack on Sola Scriptura in this forum? What is the alternative authority or additional authority you are offering. If it is the Catholic Church, then you have a problem based on your other posts on this forum. Understand, I am a Catholic myself and hold to Catholic teaching on Scripture, Apostolic Tradition and the Magesterium of the Church. Do you identify yourself as a Catholic? If so many of your posts display positions that are incompatible with Catholic teaching. I have read your other posts and many of them do not reflect Catholic doctrine; such as your posts on the Goddess in Scripture and your apparent rejection of church teaching against homosexual activity. If you press your current position on the basis of the authority of the Catholic Church's teaching, how can anyone take you seriously when you reject the same Church's authoritative teaching on the other subjects? You can't have it both ways. Either the Church is authoritative and infallible in its teaching on Faith and Morals in all areas or we are reduced to everyman deciding for himself, which is no different from the argument often made against Sola Scriptura in light of all the thousands of denominations that spring from that doctrine due to differences of interpretation among those who hold to it. So, please declare yourself. What is the Creed to which you adhere? Or do you just pick and choose what you believe? What authority do you acknowledge and what authority do you reject? How about filling out a profile? Emmaus |
