361 | And what about those who will die before | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 98259 | ||
Hank, " Holding imperatively onto the doctrine of the regenerative power of water to effect man's salvation almost invariably goes hand in hand with the doctrine of works salvation," I cannot understand why when discussion baptismal regenration, its opponents alway leave the Holy Spirit out of the equation as if the proponents of baptismal regeneration do that, which they do not. it is not the water but the holy Spirit working in and through the water that effects the grace of baptism as John 3:5 says "by water AND the Holy Spirit." To always refer to "water" and leave out the Holy Spirit is to errect a straw man. Was is the water of the Jordan that cleansed Naaman of leprosy or God working in and through the water? In both cases God has chosen to work through water . Emmaus |

Tim, "The method was only incidental!" If you read the story of Naaman again you will find that he thought the method (the waters of the Jordan) was incidental too and at first refused because there were grander rivers in his own country. God felt differently. Take a look! Emmaus |

Tim, It is not a matter of God "needing" the water any more than God "needed" to incarnate in order to save us. God "needs" nothing. It is a matter of God choosing to use the water just as he chose to take on flesh. God sanctifies his creation by using it to sancyify us. It is God who sanctifies, but he chooses to work through his creation to do so. It is not a matter of "either or" but rather both, the essential being God, but God choosing to work through his creation. That makes it not incidental but rather sacramental. Sacraments are not magic they are the works of God. God is not a magician, but He is a miracle worker. No God, no grace! But if God tells you to go to the water to receive his grace, you had better obey, as Naaman did upon reflection and sound advise The alternative was to remain and die a leper. In the sacraments God sanctifies his people and his creation. He santifies the water and the one being baptised, the bread and wine and the one who receives the Eucharist, the oil of annointing and the one being annointed. In our worship our very movements and gestures are sanctified so that all we do and all we use is orienterd toward the Lord; standing, sitting, kneeling, bowing, hands raised in prayer, the laying on of hands, the very sound of our voices raised in the song and prayer of worship, so that all things visible and invisble, spiritual and physical are renewed in Christ.

Tim, A closing note. Sacrament comes from the latin sacramentum which is translated "oath" as in Coveneant oath. As I recall God did make a few promises, oaths, sacraments. In the sacraments we see God's Covenant oaths fulfilled in action. Good night. Emmaus |

RJJ, I am aware of the article in the Catholic Encyclopedia at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09256a.htm But I find no mention of the subject at http://198.62.75.1/www1/CDHN/ccc.html which I am familiar with and own in print as well as having access on the website. Perhaps you can show me more precisely where limbo is at that site for the Catechism, which I previously quoted. I could not find it on the site's search engine nor in the index or text that I have. An article about theological speculations on a particular subject, or the speculation itself does not a doctrine or dogma make. Otherwise you might claim that the doctrines of the Reformers or Islam are Catholic doctrine because they are discussed in the Catholic Encyclopedia. And how does one or a Church, even if so inclined, "drop a word" especially if you insist on using it and bringing it up? And then there is the problem that it is a word in most dictinaries and has other meanings than the purely theological. Please let me know where it is on the second link you referenced. Emmaus |

Mommapbs, This certainly seems very strange and unusual since I have personally witnessed many baptisms of such children in my own parish. I would not venture to comment without full details and certainty that what you have heard is correct. If what you have heard is correct, I would like to know the explanation given the mother and I would even be happy to speak with her personally. How close are you to this young woman? You have my e-mail address Emmaus |

369 | SOMEPEOPLE SAY IT IS NECESSARY | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 99366 | ||
Hiram, Some here will say it is "not necessary but it is important to obey the Lord." Other says it is necessary for slavation because of John 3:5, Acts 2:38 and Acts 9:5, 18, Acts 22:16. I would say it is necessary unless you are prevented from being baptised for some reason like the thief on the cross. For extensive debates on the subject got to the Quick Search box on the right side of the screen and enter "baptism" and hit search. You will get more than enough of both sides. But even those who say baptism is not necessary to be save say it is necessary to be obedient to the Lord's command and to make a public profession and witness of your faith. So get baptised and both parties sides will be happy Emmaus |

372 | Why 4 Gospels? | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 100955 | ||
The "Gospel" of Thomas is authetically Gnostic and that is why it is not in the canon. And it is not in the canon of the Eastern Orthodox Churches either. They have the same New Testament canon as the West. | ||||||

CDBJ, Today, in a class for I was teaching, I used your testimony of experiencing Jesus personally and how that created a hunger in you to know God more. I used it as an example to spark a conversation about that experience of Jesus as a real and present in personal sense which leads to deep faith. It opened people up to share their own experiences. Interestingly two women also focused on how, when one was at the end of her rope with concerns about finances and the other was physically exhausted, they felt the presence of Christ and were able to let go and rest in Him knowing that God would provide and restore their strength.

377 | Who celebrates Easter Sunday and Why ? | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 118098 | ||
Edd, It is only in the Germanic languages that you have a word like easter used in association with the Feast Day of the Lord's Resurrection. In the Romance languages the word used is derived from the root word for passover or Pasch. For example the Spanish word for this day is Pascua. Emmaus |

378 | Who celebrates Easter Sunday and Why ? | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 118099 | ||
Edd, Inralation to why the Pasch is used for the feast of the Resurrection. 1 Cor 5:7 "Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed." Every Sunday celeberation is a "little Easter" or in Spanish a little Pascua. i don't do much spanish. that might be "poco Pascua". Sunday is Spanish is Domingo, the Lord's day. Emmaus |

EdB, There were also Aramaic paraphrases called the Targums. Two schools, the Babylonian and the Palestinian. A Targum of Job was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls near Qumran. Greek was stronger in the cities and Aramaic in the countryside. The Greek Septuagint is a closer tranlastion from the Hebrew trhan the Targum, which wer more paraphrases based on the oral translations the Rabbi's did as they taught the Torah. So there is often a lot of commentary or amplification included. Emmaus |
