381 | i am looking for study questions on 1 Sa | 1 Samuel | Emmaus | 140878 | ||
Vaidenbell, Here are two questions for 1 Samuel. How does 1 Samuel 1 compare with Luke 1:5-25? How does 1 Samuel 2:1-10 compare with Luke 1:46-55? Here is a question for 2 Samuel. How does 2 Samuel 6:9; 6:11 and 6:14 compare with Luke 1:45; 1:41; 1:43 and 1:56? Emmaus |

382 | Romans 2:14-15 commonly mutilated? | 1 Cor 2:14 | Emmaus | 140796 | ||
Greentwiga, One could say that the proper context for Romans 2:14-15 is found between Romans 1:5 and Romans 16:26 which are the bookends of Romans that speak of "the obedience of faith" which is the obedience of a member of God's family as contrasted with the obedience of a slave who is not in the family, but rather under the Law. This is brought out in more detail in Romans 6-8 and 12-15, but especially in 8:1-16. See also Galatians 4:21-31 in relationship with Romans 9. Emmaus |

383 | is the archangel bad? | Jude 1:9 | Emmaus | 140795 | ||
"Am I mistaken in thinking the archangel is bad?" Yes. "I was always under the assumption that the archangel was like the devil. " No. The archangel is "like" the devil only in that the devil was an angel before he fell, but not "like" in that the Archangel did not fall, but continued to serve God. In Jude 9, the archangel is simply not usurping God's perogative of judgement, but leaving that to the Lord. See Act 12:7. Emmaus |

384 | What does your and your household mean? | Acts 16:33 | Emmaus | 140794 | ||
Lisa, I think you need to see Act s 16:31 in the context 16:30-34. The question. "What must I do to be saved." The answer. "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you and your household will be saved." The detailed answer. "They spoke the word of the Lord to him and everyone in his household." The response. "He and all his family were baptized at once... and with his household rejoiced at having come to faith in God" Looks like the family came "to faith in God." No indication of unbelievers here, although the point you are making can be seen in 1 Corinthians 7:12-16. Emmaus |

385 | Not to visit love one's grave in bible | Eccl 9:5 | Emmaus | 140481 | ||
"Is in Bible written anywhere not to visit relative or loveone's grave? " In Leviticus, part of the priestly code prohibts a priest from touching a dead person or going to a grave except for his closest relative (Lev 21:1-2. This was ritual purity command only for priests. Anyone was rendered ritually impure by contact with a deadcorpse (Lev 22:4. But a High Priest may not even make himself unclean even for his father or mother when they die. (Leviticus 21:10-12) I live in an area with many Jews. I am told that those among the Orthodox Jews with the name Cohen or Cohn are considered decendents of priests and will not enter cemetaries for burials. Emmaus |

386 | Why worship on resurrection day? | Ex 20:10 | Emmaus | 140462 | ||
"Rhetorical PS: How come we have to edit out the "death of enemies" stuff?" Don't know. Probably seems inconsistent with loving your enemies as Christ did. This is not a recent, politiccally correct thing to my knowledge. I think it is rather ancient. I mentioned it only in the interest of full disclosure, rather than saying that "all" the Psalms are covered in the four week cycle. I was not even aware the were not covered until I read a not to that effect recently. I guess you have to pray those few personally, not in community. ;-) Emmaus |

387 | Why worship on resurrection day? | Ex 20:10 | Emmaus | 140457 | ||
Doc, A Christmas gift to you. This is the link to a site which has all the prayers of the daily liturgy: Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, Night Prayer and the Scripture readings ofd the day for Mass. The morning and evening prayers are built around the Psalms and over four weeks cover the whole of the Psalter, except for a few precatory Psalms which call for the death of enemies. I think you may find it interesting to follow for a while and see what you think. http://www.universalis.com/20041224/today.htm Emmaus |

Doc, Here are a few links about Liturgical Colors. All of these senosry elements to worship, what CVatholics refer to as "smells and bells" are designed to engage all the senses as well as the mind and heart in worship. It is an incarnational theology of the Liturgy. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04134a.htm http://www.medugorje.com/catholic/lit_color.html http://www.stcecilia.org/artenv/LitColors.htm Emmaus |

Doc, Basically, the first half of the Mass (or Divine Liturgy as it is called in the Eastern Rites and Churches) was know as the Mass of the Catechumens. The prayers and Scripture readings along with the homiies were meant to be instructions in the Christian faith. The Catechumens were dismissed after the homily. The second half of the Mass was called the Mass of the Faithfull and only baptized Christians were allowed to stay and partake of the Eucharist. That is a very simiplified version. The details and uniformity of the Scripture readings for the particular seasons and feast days were worked out over cenbturies. But we still have many of the homilies of the ealry Church Fathers and can tell a lot about the feast days and the Scripture readings for those days from their homilies. Today the first half of the Mass is called the Liturgy of the Word and the Second half, the Liturgy of the Eucharist. In some parishes the Catechumens or those learing the Catholic faith, are disnmissed for further instruction and discussion of the Scripture readngs after the homily. In other parishes they are allowed to stay throutgh the Liturgy of the Eucharist and then go for further instruction, but are not allowed to receive Communion. Now that we live in a Neo-Pagan age were are reverting to the teaching styles of the Church in the original Pagan age. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Emmaus |

392 | Will sin enter heaven? | Rev 21:17 | Emmaus | 140013 | ||
Jeff W, "Why does the whole of Christianity believe and teach that we will never stop sinning?" I don't know any part of Christianity that teaches the saved will sin after death. And certainly some very holy Christians seem to have, by the grace of God, overcome sin before the end of their lives, but I haven't met many. Our human experience of ourselves and others confirms this. 1 John aslso comes too mind including 1 John 1:1: 10 and 3:16-17, noy of course forgetting 18. Most of us, even when justified by grace and faith are a work in progress when it comes to being conformed to Christ. And that process for most seems to last to the very end of our earthly lives. James 1:14-15 tells us: "Rather, each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. The desire conceives and brings forth sin, and when sin reaches maturity it gives birth to death." This is a process of degradation in sin. It seesm reasonabel and experience bears out that grace works in a similar manner. We are called and "lured" so to speak by God's grace aqnd His desire for us. We begin by grace to confirm ourselves to His desire and grace conceives faith, which when it reaches maturity gives bith to eternal life. We call the process of being "conformed to Christ" sanctification or "an increase in justification". Some seem to progress more quickly than others. So, the question is when each individual may stop sinning? For certain, no one who has been saved will sin after death and they may even undergo a final purification before entering the presence of God. 1 Cor 3:15. That0 is my take on your question. It is not something I have any desire to debate. Emmaus |

393 | Where will they be "taken" to? | Luke 17:36 | Emmaus | 139937 | ||
Doc, I have also seen the preterist interpretation of Luke 17:37 and Matt 24:28 as referring to the gathering of the Romans legions at the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. The symbol of the Roman legions was the eagle on a staff. See also Job 39:27-30. Emmaus |

394 | Will sin enter heaven? | Rev 21:17 | Emmaus | 139899 | ||
No. Rev 21:27 "and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life." |

396 | What was Caesarea Philippi like? | Matt 16:18 | Emmaus | 139553 | ||
MJH, Yes I am aware of the geography and the nature of the pagan shrine at Caesaria Phillipi, but did not address that due to space and time limitations. the same applies to the Rabbinical concept of binding and loosing. Thank you for bring up those points. Emmaus |

397 | "upon this rock I will build my church" | Matt 16:18 | Emmaus | 139550 | ||
Doc, in this case, Gal 2:11, paul is confronting Peter for preaching one think and doing another, being hyprocritical. Papale infalibity in teaching on faith and morals under very limited circumstance is not to be confused with impeccability. Popes can and do sin. Infallibilty is a "negative" chaism of the holy Spirit, which prevents the formal teaching of error in faith and morals in exercising the formal teaching office. It does not prevent immorality or unfaithfulness on the personal level nor assure faithfulness or morality on a personal level in daily life. Lots of ink has been spilled on this subject. I was offering a strictly scriptural explanation of Matthew 16:18 in response to the question and attempting to address objections often raised in response to the position I was putting forth.I realize that the position I have laid out. It is not one to which most on this forum adhere and is in fact one which most here might be expected to reject and oppose. Nevertheless, there is a case to be made and I have made it within the limits of my ability. Emmaus |

Songbirdca, It would seem that Mary the wife of Clophas (Alpheus), (Matt 10:3, Mark 3:18, Luke 6:15))was the sister of Mary the mother of Jesus. The article at this link may be of some help to you. http://www.catholic.com/library/Brethren_of_the_Lord.asp Emmaus |
