581 | queen of heaven | Jer 7:18 | Emmaus | 80543 | ||
Fear not and let thy head swelleth not. I was shamelessly taking advantage of the proximity of your postings on the Forum. It was quicker and easier than trying to find my other sources that make the same point. Emmaus |

Why God is Father not mother. An excellent article. http://www.catholic.net/rcc/Periodicals/Faith/Jul-Aug99/God2.html |

583 | Why did God require only these things? | Jer 22:3 | Emmaus | 28195 | ||
It's just my opinion at this point, but I suspect the worshipping ofidols may preclude doing true justice, which requires focus on thew true God. And that is why God allowed them to be defeated and carried off into exile or left to rot like the basket of bad figs. |

You would have thought the Jews of Jesus' day would have been ready for Him. But most were not and then the Temple was destroyed again. | ||||||

586 | What does this mean? | Ezek 8:17 | Emmaus | 89554 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, In your tour did you go to that special little house overlooking ancient Ephesus? Emmaus |
||||||
587 | What does this mean? | Ezek 8:17 | Emmaus | 89593 | ||
Mommapbs, Whether the tradition about the house is true is a matter of personal judgement. But I think your Muslim guide put a sublte negative spin against Christianity: "Our guides also suggested that John "used" Mary, the MOTHER of Jesus to encourgage the people of Ephesus to convert to Christianity" Do you think John would have used Mary in such a manner or that Mary would have allowed herself to be used in such a manner? Your guide's comment was a poisioning of the Christian well so to speak. Emmaus |

588 | I also gave statutes that were not good | Ezek 20:25 | Emmaus | 68439 | ||
Ezekiel 20:25 "I also gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live;" I remember someone, not long ago, posting a question about this verse. I used the search box but could not locate that post. If anyone else remembers the post and is interested in this rather thorny verse, I was listening tonight to a Scripture professor reading a very interesting paper on this subject. It is not light but very interesting. It is posted at the link below. http://www.salvationhistory.com/articles/scholarly/ezekiel20.cfm Emmaus |

589 | I also gave statutes that were not good | Ezek 20:25 | Emmaus | 68724 | ||
Mommapbs, Your comments seem to be in line with the article's conclusion. The author of the paper is my favorite biblical theologian. I have several of his tape set bible studies and several of his books. Do you remeber someone lse raising a question about those verse a while back? I could not locate the post when I searched.

590 | I also gave statutes that were not good | Ezek 20:25 | Emmaus | 68732 | ||
Mommapbs, Why do you say sorry? I quess you mean you can't remember who originally raised a question about the verse. Nothing to be sorry about. I am happy anyone else noticed and followed up at all on my post. It was not a wasted effort on my part. I found the subject very interesting myself. Emmaus |

Piper, I guess then it would be even better to be completely lawless so we can also have complete freedom and freewill, right? I think you were reading a little more into Hank's post than was actually there. Emmaus |

592 | Song of Praise - in Daniel? | Dan 3:24 | Emmaus | 28029 | ||
Merry Christmas Searcher! You may be correct. But I suspect Motherturtlewood may have seen Dan 2:19 passage in her bible already, but did not recognize it as the passage she ws looking for if she had prevously seen the Song of Praise to which I referred her. It is a well known and loved passage in some circles. It is a kind of Canticle of Creation glorifying God the Creator. Nothing doctrinally controversial. You might want to check it out. If nothing else it is a beautiful prayer. Emmaus |

594 | Has the time arrived to believe in Him? | Dan 7:22 | Emmaus | 70648 | ||
One, For Daniel and the Jews, Daniel 7:13 was a future event. For Christians it is past with future connotations also. Think of this as description of Christ's His Ascension to the Father to be glorified and receive dominion until all His enemies are put under His feet. But Jesus also spoke about His "coming on the clouds of heaven" in reference to His Second Coming. See Matt 24:29-31 and Acts 7:54-56. Emmaus |

Ed, This passage does present some difficulties. Perhaps there is someone out there to shed a little more light on how the Aramaic of 7:8 would translated literally or at least differently that the usual. Chapter 7 was written in Aramaic and chapter 8 in Hebrew. The Jerome Biblical Commentary has this to say looking at the passage from one perspective: "The fourth beast...has ten horns, symbolizing the ten rulers of this dynasty...According to Borossus, Seleucus I Nicator was reckoned the third Gk ruler in the Near East (Alexander the Great being the first, and either Alexander Aegus or Philip Arrhidaeus being the second), so that the tenth horn (ruler)must be Antiochus IV Ephipanes." Looking from another perspective regarding the ten horns,the little horn and the three horns it says: ..."This new symbolism for Antiochus comes from 8:9, "three of the previous horns were torn away to make room for it"(7:8): This translation is based on the interpretation supposing the three of Antiochus' predecessors died violent deaths so that he could succeed to the throne. Even if true, he was responsible for none of these deaths. But in v.20...it is stated that"three of the horns fell before him"--i.e., were defeated by him in battle. Therefore...the ten horns do not represent ten successive Gk kings , but ten kings of various countries contemporanius with Antiochus IV Ephipanes--the "little horn" that "sprang up among them".. Actually as Porphyry first noted (quoted by Jerome, PL 25.531) Antiochus IV Ephipanes "laid low three kings" ...in defeating Ptolemy VI Philometor in 170, Ptolomey VII Euergetes II in 168 and King Artaxias of Armenia in 165."

596 | why do catholics think mary is sinless? | Amos 1:1 | Emmaus | 32051 | ||
niiwj, I noticed a typo error in my previous note. The first lines of my previous note should have read: I am a Catholic on the forum. Not long ago the on the forum I answered the questions you are asking about Mary and the saints from a Catholic position. Emmaus |

597 | Why do catholic call Mary mother of God. | Amos 1:1 | Emmaus | 69561 | ||
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 |

Romans, May I presume you are a Nestorian? You are asserting Nestorian doctrine. 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, 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 |
