381 | Does Jesus Have Mary's Blood or DNA etc. | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 121017 | ||
aldkathy, Far be it from me to straighten anybody out. Jesus was born sinless because he was God incarnate and God is without sin, although He was later tempted like us in all things, but did not sin. As to the question of how this inter-relates to Mary: go to the Quick Search box to the right of the screen and enter the number 26887. That will take you to a thread which has a pretty spirited and thorough discussion of the subject. Welcome to the Forum. Emmaus |

David1740, I think the genral observation would still hold true for understanding the meaning of the verse in John if I had left out the "Greek Version' part. Most of the quotes of the OT in the NT come from the Septuagint and so it is helpful to see what that version says in similar or relevant contexts. I just wanted to accuratly quote the source I was using. Emmaus |

T'oma Men and women who belong to catholic religious orders usually have initials after their names which are abbreviations indicating the name of their particular order. S.J. stands for "Society of Jesus", the formal name of a relgious order of men more commonly known as The Jesuits. I was educated in one on their High Schools in Washington D.C., the same one attended by Patrick Bucahnan and William Bennett. The order was founded in the 16th century by St. Ignatius of Loyola, a Basque soldier who, while recuperating from an battle wound caused by cannon fire while fighting in the Spanish army, underwent a profound conversion experience. Here are a few links related to the order. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14081a.htm http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07639c.htm What is the title of the book you have aquired and the author's name?

T'oma, I do not have it, but my father did when I was growing up. I browsed it back then. I do have his Dictionary of the Bible which came out in 1965 and is still in print from Touchstone, a division of Simon and Schuster. McKenzie was one of the leading Catholic Scriptures scholar in the U.S. in the 40's, 50's and 60's. The Two Edged Sword published in 1956 established his reputation. Another of his books, The Power and the Wisdom, about the New Testament was published some years later. Emmaus Emmaus |

389 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 164240 | ||
Mark, "Ephesians 2 tells us we are saved by faith, and not of works (not just works of the Law of Moses, but any works). Baptism is a work, therefore, how could it save us?" Those who believe in baptismal regenration believe that baptism is a work of Christ, not a work of man. It is Christ who baptizes, working in and through His body, which is the Church.(Romans 6:4; 7:4; 12:5; 1 Cor 12:27; Eph 3:6; 4:12; Matt 28:19) The Catechism: "1088 "To accomplish so great a work" - the dispensation or communication of his work of salvation - "Christ is always present in his Church, especially in her liturgical celebrations. He is present in the Sacrifice of the Mass not only in the person of his minister, 'the same now offering, through the ministry of priests, who formerly offered himself on the cross,' but especially in the Eucharistic species. By his power he is present in the sacraments so that when anybody baptizes, it is really Christ himself who baptizes. He is present in his word since it is he himself who speaks when the holy Scriptures are read in the Church. Lastly, he is present when the Church prays and sings, for he has promised 'where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst of them."'Matthew 18:20)" "1084 "Seated at the right hand of the Father" and pouring out the Holy Spirit on his Body which is the Church, Christ now acts through the sacraments he instituted to communicate his grace. The sacraments are perceptible signs (words and actions) accessible to our human nature. By the action of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit they make present efficaciously the grace that they signify." "1127 Celebrated worthily in faith, the sacraments confer the grace that they signify.48 They are efficacious because in them Christ himself is at work: it is he who baptizes, he who acts in his sacraments in order to communicate the grace that each sacrament signifies. The Father always hears the prayer of his Son's Church which, in the epiclesis of each sacrament, expresses her faith in the power of the Spirit. As fire transforms into itself everything it touches, so the Holy Spirit transforms into the divine life whatever is subjected to his power." "1128 This is the meaning of the Church's affirmation49 that the sacraments act ex opere operato (literally: "by the very fact of the action's being performed"), i.e., by virtue of the saving work of Christ, accomplished once for all. It follows that "the sacrament is not wrought by the righteousness of either the celebrant or the recipient, but by the power of God."50 From the moment that a sacrament is celebrated in accordance with the intention of the Church, the power of Christ and his Spirit acts in and through it, independently of the personal holiness of the minister. Nevertheless, the fruits of the sacraments also depend on the disposition of the one who receives them.

390 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 164252 | ||
Mark, Thank you for your kind comments. I hope you won't retract them when I make this next point. You wrote: "I consider that salvation comes, on my part at least, through an act of will rather than an act of behavior. I believe that I become born again when I choose to repent, and to obey Christ." But the Bible says: "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:12-13 and Jesus taught us to pray "Thy kingdom come and HE prayed in the Garden of Gethsmene: "not my will but your will" (Matthew 26:39). It is only when our will is aligned with the Father's will that anything we do is in Christ and that alignment of will itself comes by the grace of God, though we co-operate with that grace in accepting it.

392 | Who else besides Cain, Adam, and Eve? | Genesis | Emmaus | 37335 | ||
popdzl, I must not let this oppourtunity to find commom ground with Reformer Joe pass. His comment was right on the mark not only scriptually but scientifically even if he did not include that. Theologically the concept of all falling through Adam (Romans 5:12) falls apart if we have more than one set of progentitors, that is Adam and Eve. And genetic science has even come to the conclusion that we are all decended from one woman, which confirms Genesis 3:20 Emmaus |

393 | Who else besides Cain, Adam, and Eve? | Genesis | Emmaus | 37680 | ||
popdzl, Your position as you present it about the blueprint to be used over and over again as applied logically in the case of the Fall and Redemption would mean multiple Adams and Eves and also multiple Redeemers. As Joe indicated these are incompatible with the whole of scripture. Emmaus |

Hank, I always suspected you country boys were a little sly and ahead of the the curve and the slicker than the city boys. Lilith must have been a country girl. All this time you have been hiding Cain's wife under a basket while the rest of the forum didn't even know her name. Emmaus |

395 | Cain and Seth's wives descended from who | Genesis | Emmaus | 44870 | ||
Scott, Indeed, but not the law of marriage within certain degrees of relation, which came only with the Mosaic Covenant. The tree was not the law in the garden. The law was that they not eat of the fruit of the tree. Emmaus |

396 | Cain and Seth's wives descended from who | Genesis | Emmaus | 45226 | ||
Scott, Without conceding the point you are attempting to make, allow me also to take another approach on the question you raised about some commentataries dealing with the Cain and his wife because of the issue of incest. That was what prompted my initial response. You handled the question, which I believe the bible does not raise, by proposing polygenism. You said: "Now that we know that man was created a living creature and there were more then just one man and one woman created lets look at Cain and his wife...." Do we know that there was more than one man and woman created? No! In fact Genesis states clearly that Eve was "the mother of all the living." ( Gen 3:20) Meaning that all are decended from her. The bible also states that Adam and Eve "had others sons and daughters." Gen 5:4) The bible state that Cain took a woman as his wife. (Gen 4:17) The implication based on direct scriptural statements is not that other pairs were created with Adam and Eve, but rather that Cain took to wife another female decendent of Adam and Eve. That could have been a sister or a neice or even a further degree od consanguinity depended on when Cain married and when the other children of Adam and Eve were born. If a neice or further removed relation the union was not prohibited by Lv 18:6-18. Hence no incest as defined by the Law presented in Exodus or Leviticus. And consider the fact that Adam and Eve while in the garden did not obey the command to "be fruitfull and multiply," but obeyed that command only after they were expelled from the garden. Kind of turns the stupid notion that original sin was somehow related to sex between a man and his wife on it's head doesn't it? More likely the other way around it would seem. The sin may have been the refusal to be fruitful and mutiply. Trying to have the garden all to themselves like selfish children. But I am not advocating that theory. It is just an interesting tangental thought to ponder. My main point is one Adam and one New Adam! Romans 5:15-17 15: But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16: And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. 17: If, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 15:45-49 45: Thus it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46: But it is not the spiritual which is first but the physical, and then the spiritual. 47: The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48: As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven. 49: Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. One Adam, one New Adam, Jesus Christ! Emmaus |

398 | Must Christ have had a human nature? | Genesis | Emmaus | 71891 | ||
Ray, You are correct to say that Christ was the perfect man. But his flesh was subject to same weaknesses, except a natural tendency toward sin, as fallen man, though He was not fallen. His flesh was subject to weakness, pain and suffering and death due to the sin in the world because of Adam's fall. In his resurrection, Jesus restored and even glorified his flesh and promises to do the same for ours. The wonder and beauty of our Redeemer, the new Adam is that He could take on flesh and raise it up, whereas the first Adam could at best have only maintained his unfallen state if he had remained obedient, but he failed even in that and lowered it by the Fall. On your point about human uncleaness in Leviticus, I think we have to remember that there was human cleanessness before the Fall. Adam was the human before the Fall, but still in his pristine "good" stae as God had created him. After the Fall he was still human but fallen and therefore made "unclean" by his sin. Humanity and sin are not one and the same since God created man and declared all his creation "good." Sin is a self inflicted wound to a creation that in its essence was good by virtue of its creation by God. Adam was no longer all he was meant to be and could have remained had he been obedient. But he could not lift himself back up to that pristine state. Only God Incarnate could do that. Emmaus |

399 | The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 | Genesis | Emmaus | 86645 | ||
Hank, We almost had the Nephillum and Cain's wife threads closed today. Jeremj almost killed two birds with one stone (post), his very first on the forum. It seems that Cain's wife was a succubus. Of course Jeremj will have to resolve the fact that Genesis 6 says it was the "sons" of heaven that went after the "daughters" of man and not the other way around. As usual the devil is in the details. Emmaus |
