2042 | Why did Jesus call himself son of man? | Dan 7:13 | Emmaus | 37953 | ||
JFM, Because he was a man as weel as God and because he fulfilled Daniel's prophecy. Daniel 7 13: I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14: And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. Acts 7 56: and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God." 57: But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together upon him. 58: Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59: And as they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." 60: And he knelt down and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Emmaus |

2043 | Rev14:1-5 | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 37873 | ||
Frank, In Rev 14:4 it says the 144,000 are only the firstfruits of mankind to be ransomed,not the onlyfruit, which implies there are many more to be ransomed. Are only 144,000 male virgins to be saved? At this late date we would be pretty cocky to think there was room left for us to get in, not to mention what more than a few women might have to say about the matter. It should also be noted that 144,000 is a symbolic number like many other signs and numbers in Revelation. Emmaus |

2044 | faith without actions a fool? James 2:20 | James | Emmaus | 37690 | ||
Lerno, James 2:20 "Do you want proof you ignoramous that faith without works is dead" James is crystal clear and intentionally blunt. Faith in Christ cannot be separated from works in Christ or you don't really have any Faith to show, only a lifeless corpse of a mental concept without any spiritual substance and of no earthly good either. They are two side of the same coin. We know James is speaking about the same Faith as Paul in Romans because they both use Abraham's faith as the illustrating example. Paul never says we are saved by faith alone and James never says we are saved by works alone but he does says: "we are not saved by faith alone" in James 2:24. If you look at James and Paul in full context it is clear that faith in Christ and works in Christ are inseparable if we are talking about a living, saving faith. It is no accident that Paul opens and closes Romans with the phrase "the obedience of faith" Romans 1:5 and 16:26, which fits perfectly with Galatians 5:5 "faith working throug love" and James 2. It is not a matter of works adding to faith. Works in Christ are the physical embodiment and manifestation of faith in Christ, without which faith is dead. For human beings as created and as God intended us to be, the body and the spirit are an integrated unit. That is why our redemption is not complete until our bodies are resurrected at the Second Coming. It goes without saying that works in Christ are not the same thing as "works of the law" such as circumcision, which Paul is often speaking about in Romans. The "obedience of faith" is as different from the "works of the law" as are the commandments written on stone from the commandments written on our hearts. Emmaus |

bwhitt33, This web posting indicates it the two intertwined triangles has no scriptural roots. AMF International Mailbag Q: I am looking for information on the Star of David. Where did it come from -- what is its origin? Is there Judaistic symbolism in it? Do the rabbis accept it? Are there any major view points in it? A friend of mine said it originated from Solomon's reign (since it is also known as Solomon's seal). This friend stated that Solomon may have accepted it from a pagan wife's religion. Do you have any comments? A: The "Star of David" is known in Hebrew as Magen David (or Mogen David in Yiddish), which literally means "shield of David," apparently from the popular notion that the Beloved King of Israel wore this symbol on his shields, although there is no evidence that this is true. I doubt that either David or Solomon ever knew it. The symbol was used in Israel in Roman times (it can be seen in the remains of the synagogue at Capernaum), but it appears to have been nothing more than an architectural motif at that time. It seems to have become associated with Judaism in particular only in later centuries. According to one source at my disposal, earliest attested use by a Jewish person is from 7th century BC but it assumed importance as a distinctive Jewish symbol only from 17th century AD. Meaning can be read into any symbol, and rabbis have been known to base sermon illustrations on the Star, but its actual origin can only be guessed at.

2046 | memories and forgiveness | 2 Samuel | Emmaus | 37461 | ||
rmhall, Even when our sin is forgiven we may still suffer the temporal if not the eternal consequences of the sin. See the result of David's sin in killing Uriah to cover up his sin with Batheseba in 2 Samuel 12 and especially in verses 9-14. 9: Why have you despised the word of the LORD, to do what is evil in his sight? You have smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10: Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.' 11: Thus says the LORD, "Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. 12: For you did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun." 13: David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die. 14: Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the LORD, the child that is born to you shall die." The temporal pain emotional or physical we suffer may serve as a reminder of an even greater spiritual loss we could suffer due to unrepented sin and be an incentive to avoid that sin in the future. Not to mention being a form of penance we must endure. Emmaus |

2047 | Easter questions | Ex 12:2 | Emmaus | 37329 | ||
Mommapbs, The root word for Easter is also an ancient root for Spring. This is only an issue in the English language as far as I know. Many other languages use a word or words that refer to the day of resurrection or glory. The dating of Easter done in the West acording to plan you indicated based on a solar / lunar model as opposed to a lunar calender in the East if I am not mistaken. The East also still uses the Julian calender for its liturgical calener I believe while the west uses the Gregorian calender. For a history of the dating controveries go to this link: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05228a.htm Emmaus |

2050 | Difference of Religon and Christianity? | James 1:27 | Emmaus | 37314 | ||
Sister, A lot depends on how you define religion. The word means "that which holds or binds together" at it's root with the dictionary definitions elaborating on the ties that binds God and man together such as worship. And then there is James 1:27 27: "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." Lots of room to run wild in this field. Emmaus |

2051 | New Covenant alone? | Heb 8:6 | Emmaus | 37313 | ||
Jhn, It would seem to me that Matt 5:17-19 17: "Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. 18: For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. 19: Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. " and what follows must come into play somewhere in this disussion. Emmaus |

Leftwith, The same as Daniel saw in Daniel 7:13-14 13: I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14: And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. and Stephen saw in Acts 7:55-56 55: But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; 56: and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God."

2056 | If Works do count | Gal 5:5 | Emmaus | 37158 | ||
Handy, To say that doing good works means nothing contradicts the scripture. If you do good works in Christ you are doing His work. Take a look at theses passages and put your mind at rest. Matt 7:21 Matt 19:16-17 Matt 25:34-46 John 14:21 Romans 2:28 Galatians 5:4-6 Ephesians 2:8-10 Philippians 2:12-13 James 2:14-24 Emmaus |

2057 | when:elder rule(plural) to bishop rule | 2 Tim 1:6 | Emmaus | 37149 | ||
bmag1963, I don't see how it can be after Paul's death if you look at 1 Tim 4:14, 5:22; 2 Tim 1:6; Eph 4:11; 1 Cor 12:28; 1 Thes 5:12; Titus 1:5; James 3:1. It is apparent that the laying on of hands to transmitt authority was common in th earliest days. the word presbuteroi is the origin of the word priest also translated elder. The priest is the represebtattive of the bishop or overseeer or episkapos. There wwere obviously other office within the community in addition to deacon as indicated in the texts, but not all with the same praching and teaching authority. The earliest Apostolic fathers such as Ignatius of Antioch and Ireanaeus were taught by men who sat at the feet of the apostles and their writings affirm the office of bishop as the central officve of authority in the Christian community. We see the passing on of the apostlolic office of bishop as early as Acts 1:15-26. Emmaus |

Katherine, "Or is it even bigger, referring to God's constant reminder that everything we receive is already his?" I think you have the answer there. I am not aware of any answer to who taught her. Perhaps it was made clear to her by God in pray. Emmaus |
