341 | What does this mean free woman | Gal 4:30 | Emmaus | 143858 | ||
Paul is using the OT story of Abraham, Darah and Hagaar as an allegory to isslustrate what is happening among the Galatians with the the Judaizers. Sarah and her child Isaac represent the Church of New Covenant of grace and freedom from the Mosaic Law. Hagaar and her child Ishmael represents the Jewsih Church of the Old Mosaic Covenant of the Law of Sinai. Ishmael was the older brother of Isaac and when Sarah felt that Ishmael was impsoing on Isaacs rights she demanded that Hagaar and Ishmael be sent away. Paul is telling the Galatians to do the same thing to the Judaizers trying to impse the Old Covenant Laws of circumcision and other ritual observations on the Gentile Christians. Send them away. The Galatians are children of the New Covenant born again by "water and the Spirit", faith and baptism (the circumsion of Christ Col 2:11-12), not by circumcision of the flesh. |

343 | Is the bride of christ the church? | Eph 5:32 | Emmaus | 143804 | ||
Yes. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. Eph 5:24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, Eph 5:29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, Eph 5:32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. Matt 9:15 And Jesus said to them, "The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. Matt 25:1 "Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 3 Matt 25:5 "Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. 4 Matt 25:6 "But at midnight there was a shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' 5 Matt 25:10 "And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. 6 Mark 2:19 And Jesus said to them, "While the bridegroom is with them, the attendants of the bridegroom cannot fast, can they? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 7 Mark 2:20 "But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 8 Luke 5:34 And Jesus said to them, "You cannot make the attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you? 9 Luke 5:35 "But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days." 10 John 3:29 "He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made full. 12 Rev 18:23 and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery. 13 Rev 19:7 "Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready." 14 Rev 21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. |

346 | How does a person get into the spirit? | John 3:6 | Emmaus | 143656 | ||
mabeth, It is more a matter of the Spirit getting into us (John 3:5, Titus 3:5, Romans 6:3-23)than us getting into the Spirit. Once the Spirit is in us we co-operate with the Spirit by "the obedience of faith."(Romans 1:5) and surrendering our will to the will of the Father. Emmaus |

349 | Why do they prey for the deads salvation | 1 Cor 3:15 | Emmaus | 143255 | ||
Heyyoo79, Catholics believe that at death you are either saved or not. You are are going to heaven or hell. Nothing that happens after death can change that, including prayers. Catholics do pray for the dead. They believe in a final purging of all attachement to sin. They call this purging or final cleaning Purgatory. based on 1 Cor 3:15, Rev 21:27. So we pray that those we love, whom we hope are saved by the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, will undergo their prurification sepeedily and enter into the fullness and joy of God's presence. http://www.catholic.com/library/Purgatory.asp http://www.catholic.com/library/Roots_of_Purgatory.asp Here is something on the books in the Old Testament canon. http://www.catholic.com/library/Old_Testament_Canon.asp Emmaus |

350 | another ? | Luke 1:6 | Emmaus | 143066 | ||
I don't think there is an absolute answer to your question. At least, I don't have one. Of course there are medical problems and some of those could be with the husband, not necessarily the wife. But I think it unwise to attribute sin to another as a cause for a problem like this. John 9:2-3 And His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?" Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him. |

351 | are barren women rebellious of cursed? | Luke 1:6 | Emmaus | 143058 | ||
"I have heard that women who are barren or have not conveived are either cursed or rebellious is this true? " No. What you heard is not correct. "so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught. In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years. Luke 1:4-7 |

352 | Samaritans Examined by Priests? | Luke 17:15 | Emmaus | 142805 | ||
Doc, Good point. By the way I cited The Jerusalem Commentary in error. I meant The Jerome Commentary. The Samaritans did follow the Torah, but acknowledged only the five books of Moses, no other Scripture. They did have priests for sacrifices just as the Jews. It would make sense that they did the rest of what the Torah required of them.If he was "between Gallilee and Samaria that would still be north of bot Mt Gerizim and Jerusalem, so all ten could in theory have ended in the same general direction, South, although the Jewish lepers unlike the Samaritan would likely have skirted Samaria.

353 | Samaritans Examined by Priests? | Luke 17:15 | Emmaus | 142800 | ||
Doc, Interesting observation and question. The jerusalem Commentary says:"Misery so loves company that this group consists of Jews and a Samaritan... One of those with whom Jews noramlly dis not deal (John 4:9). The Samaritan most likely would have gone to his own priests near Mt. Gerizim." It also comments that in the earlier story of the Good Samaritan, the Jewish lawyer who asked the question "who is my neighbor", after hearing the parable could not bring himself to answer Jesus' question by saying "the Samaritan", but instead would only say, "the one who showed pity on him." There is also the parralell of Naaman, a "foreigner", returning to Elishah after he was cured of his leprosy in the Jordan in 2 Kings 5. |

355 | Meditating on the Word | Ps 1:2 | Emmaus | 142796 | ||
Lizzamz, What you are describing is at the heart of the lives of contemplative monks and nuns for 1500 years. Their daily communal and private prayers are structured around the singing of the Psalms and the rest of Scriptures. Others including the laity are encouraged to adapt, according to their responsibilities and state in life, the same practices. This is called the Litury of the Hours prayed in the morning and evening. I follow this modified form. You can do this using books or even online at http://www.universalis.com/ Emmaus |

Thank you Doc, They are the other readings from the Lectionary for the Sunday on which that passage of Luke's Gospel is read. The Sunday and daily Lectionary readings are a great structured plan for reading and studying Scripture. |

357 | about Centurion servant mircle | Matt 8:5 | Emmaus | 142775 | ||
A good Old Testament passage to read with the story of the Centurion's servant is 1 Kings 8:41-43 and Psalm 117. | ||||||
358 | about Centurion servant mircle | Matt 8:5 | Emmaus | 142774 | ||
Try starting at Matthew 8:5 and Luke 7:5. On a side note. In the Catholic Mass, immedialty before the reception of Holy Communion, the congregation prays a prayer adapted from a line spoke by the Centurion to Jesus in Matthew 8:8. "Lord I am not worthy to receive you. But only say the word and I shall be healed." |

359 | Satan: On the hook and God won't let him | Mark 1:24 | Emmaus | 142740 | ||
I read this recently and found it striking. Satan: On the hook and God won't let him off. "Sin leads to death; not so much to the "act" of dying - which lasts only a moment - as to the "state" of death, that is precisely to what has been called "mortal illness," a state of chronic death. In this state the creature desperately tends to return to being nothing but without succeeding and lives therefore in an eternal agony. From this state comes damnation and the pains of hell; the creature is obliged by One stronger than himself to be what he does not consent to be, that is dependent on God, and his eternal torment is that he cannot get rid of either God or himself. Kierkegaard rightly said that "the formula for all desperation is to refuse to be what one is." "Satan embodies this state. In him sin has run its entire course and is shown in its extreme consequences. He is the prototype of those "who know God (and how he knew him!) but do not give him the glory and thanks that belong to God." It is not necessary to fall back on theological speculation to learn Satan's feelings on this point because he himself shouts them into the hearts of those whom God still allows him to tempt today, as Jesus was tempted in the wilderness: "We are not free," he shouts, "we are not free! Even if you kill yourself, your soul lives on; you cannot kill it, we cannot say no. We are obliged to exist forever. It's all deceit! It's not true that God created us free!" Such thoughts make us shudder as it would seem that we are directly listening to the eternal argument between Satan and God. He, in fact, would wish to be free to return to nothingness. Not because he doesn't want to exist or to be God's antagonist, but because he does not want to be what he is, dependent on God. He wants to exist, but not "through the grace of another." As the power above him is stronger than he is and obliges him to exist, this is the way to pure deperation."
