2021 | Did Jesus' have 4 Brothers and 2 Sisters | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 41832 | ||
A relevant question here might be: with all those brothers and sisters why did Jesus have to give his mother into the care of the Apostle John, a non family member, at the cross? Could those brothers and sister have been cousins or kinsmen, since Hebrew has no word that distinguishes between the two types of relationship? | ||||||

2023 | Mathew 16:18--what is the "rock"? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 41829 | ||
Not what is the rock but who is the rock? Jesus said to Simon, "You are rock (Peter)." Is there any higher authority on the question? |

2024 | Why would someone get rebaptised? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 41819 | ||
comptong It depends on how a church views baptism. If it views baptism as a sacrament by which Christ gives sanctifying grace then rebaptism is not necessary if the baptism is valid,(trinitarian and with water). The Catholic Church holds this view and therefore does not rebaptize christians who convert to the Catholic Church if they have already been baptized by water and in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Other churches may not see baptism as a sacrament that transmits grace, but only as a symbol of public confession of Christ and an entry into their particular denomination or congregation and so they rebaptize.

2026 | Are gays/lesbians bound for hell? | Rom 5:8 | Emmaus | 41281 | ||
Marquita, We often seem to forget that there is one standard of chasity for all, no matter what our state in life. We are all called to chastity whether married or single, heterosexual or homosexual. Even the married state has a call to chastity which can be every bit as much a challenge as the call for homosexuals or single heterosexuals to remain chaste. Consider the married person whose spouse has a medical condition that precluded any sexual relationship, yet all other obigations of the partner remain. And this is only one not so commom example, not to mention the routine daily challenges. Marriage does not necessarily eliminate temptation and can sometimes under certain circumsatnces increase it. Is this any less challenging than the call to chasitiy by a single person whether heterosexual or homosexual? Just something for your prayerful consideration that may make you fell not so isolated and pigeonholed in your situation. |

2028 | Flesh body and Spiritual body | John 1:14 | Emmaus | 40727 | ||
Love Fountain, Your point is well taken and not in dispute. But I think the incarnate body before and after it was glorified is a very different matter from the appearance of Christ or Christophanies in the OT at least if we are dealing with the chronological time of God's creation and not presuming Christ outside of time appearing out of sequence in time so to speak, which of course would not be impossible for Him. But He seemed to change his appearance for different occassions after the resurrection so that sometimes he was recognizable and sometimes not, even by his intimate friends. And that brings a whole other dimension (no pun intended) to the question of whether his appearance was the same, when it seemed not to always be the same just in the different appearances after the resurrection. So which of his various guises are we to compare to one another? Emmaus |

2029 | Is Jesus preincarnate body same as now? | John 1:14 | Emmaus | 40717 | ||
Tom, The word "incarnate" means in the flesh. How can one have a body before one is in the flesh (preincarnate)? To be preincarnate is to be without a body. Jesus' glorified body was indeed different from ours but it did have substance which could be touched as by Thomas and Jesus also ate after the resurrection, though He did not need to. The glorified body is a glorified incarnation and therefore I believe could not be the same as any preincarnate body which seems to be an oxymoron to me. Emmaus |

2031 | Why do we celebrate Good "Friday"? | John 12:12 | Emmaus | 40608 | ||
Searcher, If your point about Thursday Nisan 14 being the day the passover lamb was slaughtered is correct, then consider: Mark, Luke and John indicate Jesus died on the "day of preparation" for the sabbath which is Friday. See also Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54-56, John 19:31, 40-42. Matthew calls the next day after the crucifixion, "the day following the preparation day." Matt 28:59-66. The three days can be counted as Friday, Jesus is laid in the tomb, Saturday, and Sunday, the third day on which He rose. John 12: Six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany and they gave a dinner. ... on the next day he entered Jerusalem (Palm Sunday?). Thursday evening Jesus celebrates the Last Supper and institutes the Eucharist, our Passover (the Lamb of God) in which we eat his body and blood, which he promised in John 6, also mentioned in 1 Cor. 10:16; 11:24-26. On Friday the day of preparation for the Sabbath He was crucified. Luke is clear that the Last Supper was celebrated on the evening of Thursday "the day for sacrificing the Passover lamb." Luke 22:7, see also Mark 14:12-18 which mentions the day on which "preparations' were made for Passover (v15-16), which is different from the day of preparation for the sabbath in Mark 16:42 even if you consider passover a Sabbath. It would be hard to place the celebration of the Pasover Last Supper on the evening of the day your Jesus was crucified according to the gospels. When taking into consideration the opinions of Messianic Jews, I prefer to relie on the Messianic Jews who wrote the Gospels and who were the eye witnesses from whom Luke received his information.

2032 | Mt.25:29-Stewardship of gifts or life??? | Matt 13:10 | Emmaus | 40574 | ||
Beans, Look at Matt 25:45-29 in light of Matt 13:10- 15. See also that Jesus is the light of the world. darkness implies the absence of Jesus in one's life as in the "outer darkness" outside of Christ. See also Luke 22:53 and John 3:19 and i John 1:5. I doesn't look good for those in "outer darkness." Emmaus |

Geisha, This link will take you to an article about the Apostle Thomas. From the article you may be able to search for articles on other apostles by going to the shortened link below the first one and click the first letter of the apostles name. On the same page as the first article is a link to a new book about the lives of the apostles. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14658b.htm http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/ |

2034 | Is anyone familiar with Goethe's "Faust" | Job | Emmaus | 39886 | ||
Faust is about a man who sells his soul to Satan (Mephestopheles in the story)for knowledge and wordly success. Think of someone accepting the offers that Satan made to Jesus in the desert. Think Adam and Eve in Genesis, think Simon Magus in Acts who thought he could make a deal with Peter to buy what he thought was control over the Holy Spirit.

2035 | what is the biggest book of the bible | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 38973 | ||
Bright Sunny Eyes. The longest and shortest books in the Catholic Bible I believe are the same as in other Bibles. Catholics just like things unabridged. :-) I am not a Bible trivia expert but I think Psalms, 150 chapters and 3John, 1 chapter may qualify. Emmaus |

2038 | purgatory is it true? | Matt 22:32 | Emmaus | 38415 | ||
Diosdado, John Reformed is correct in saying: "The reason for the existance of the protestant denominations is directly linked to Roman Catholic doctrines such "Purgatory". " although it is a little more complex than that simple statement. However, I would disagree with his phrasing of the following: "Rome insisted on "faith plus works" as the way of salvation. The Protestants insisted on Faith alone in Christ alone by Grace alone." I would rather say that Catholics were opposed to the novel doctrine of "faith alone" because they believe that that faith and works in Christ are as intrically linked as a body and soul, so that James 2:17-26 would say 17: So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. 18: But some one will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. 19: You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe -- and shudder. 20: Do you want to be shown, you shallow man, that faith apart from works is barren? 21: Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? 22: You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works, 23: and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness"; and he was called the friend of God. 24: You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25: And in the same way was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26: For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead. And Paul says: 5: For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness. 6: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love. (Galatian 5:5-6)And "There are three things that last; faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is loves." (1 Cor 13;13) And Paul also says in opening his letter to the Romans that he is sent "to preach the obedience of faith" (Romans 1:15) and closes the same letter in 16:26 saying that the gospel must be preached everwhere "to bring them to the obedience of faith." It should also be pointed out that Catholics do not believe in a "works righteousness." The first three canons on Justification by the Council of Trent make this clear. Canon 1. If anyone says that man can be justified before God by his own works, whether done by his own natural powers or through the teaching of the law,[110] without divine grace through Jesus Christ, let him be anathema. Canon 2. If anyone says that divine grace through Christ Jesus is given for this only, that man may be able more easily to live justly and to merit eternal life, as if by free will without grace he is able to do both, though with hardship and difficulty, let him be anathema. Canon 3. If anyone says that without the predisposing inspiration of the Holy Ghost[111] and without His help, man can believe, hope, love or be repentant as he ought,[112] so that the grace of justification may be bestowed upon him, let him be anathema." It is works in Christ, not our works of the law, such as circumcision or any other works before justification, that the Catholic believes are necessary for sanctification and are a intrical part of the gratuitous gift of faith and justification by grace. For if Christ is in you and you are in Him He is working in you and you are working in Him. Faith is an active theological virtue, not passive. Emmaus |

2039 | purgatory is it true? | Matt 22:32 | Emmaus | 38403 | ||
Diosdado, Most on this forum would say no. Catholics of course have believed in it since apostolic times. It is the final stage of cleansing or sanctification before entering into the presence of God in heaven, which nothing unclean can enter (Rev 21:27). The usual text cited for this is 1 Cor 3:10-15 along with others such as Matt 18:21-35. Obviously those who deny purgatory would dispute these interpretations. Purgatory like Trinity is not a word found in scripture, but which some feel is illustrated or implied. You may wish to look at this link to see the historical roots of belief in this doctrine documented by the early Churh Fathers. http://www.catholic.com/library/Roots_of_Purgatory.asp Ultimately you will have to explore both sides of the issue yourself and come to your own conclusion. I suspect there may be something to see in the forum archives also if you search under the word purgatory. Emmaus |

2040 | Any good books written on Revelation? | Revelation | Emmaus | 38212 | ||
Liz, If you decided to take Searcher's advice and read on both sides of this issues you may wish to consder these two resources from a Catholic perspective.Both are available from Amazon.com. The Second Coming: Meditations and Commentary on the Book of Revelation by Alfred McBride and The Rapture Trap by Paul Thigpen. There are so many resources available on the Dispensational side of the question that they are too numerous to mention. Emmaus |
