621 | A SIN TO FILE BANKRUPTCY | 1 Pet 4:10 | Emmaus | 130089 | ||
EdB, On the other hand we do not hand out guns indiscriminately to the youg and inaexperienced and untrained, except in criminal enterprises. And to do so is also civily negligent and actionable. The fact that Colleges and universities are often in collusion with the credit card companies, in exchange for a fee, in allowing them access to the campuses is also dispicable. They thus facititate financial promiscuity in the same way they facilitate sexual promiscuity with open co-ed dormitories. The college culture of death, debt and depravity. Deliver us from evil Oh Lord! Emmaus |

622 | A SIN TO FILE BANKRUPTCY | 1 Pet 4:10 | Emmaus | 130083 | ||
EdB, I am amazed that througout this whole discussion no one has mention the modern practice of usury and the fact that banks and retailers practically forced credit cards on people without worrying whether or not they are credit worth. During the pre-Christmas shopping period I am practically tackled at the entrances of department stores by people wanting to gicve me credit cards. And at the Colleges and Univertsities the students are bombarded in person and by mail with cedits cards and offers of credit cards.How does this happen when most of them have little or negligable income to pay back any credit card debt? The banks and credit card companies, Enron like, count the amount of their tuition as income! No, I am not joking! They really do that. Ah the wonders of creative American business accounting practices. My daighter calls my description of credicard debt as indentured servitude, "Lecture 44." She was advised that if she accepted a single credit card while in college, that I would cease all financial support. Emmaus |

623 | What Would Jesus DO? WWJD | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 130080 | ||
WWJD is a question that the individual is asking themselves as a reminder to reflect on what Jesus would do as they make their decision. This would refelct the fact that they were familiar with the scripture and refelcting upon it. It may also be a prompt to others to make the same reflection. It is not a sinister conspiracy, just a reminder. | ||||||

625 | How to explain Hebrews 1 | John 1:1 | Emmaus | 130028 | ||
Prophetic passages can be read on more than one level. In this case on three levesl. The Davidic king at the time the Psalm was written, Christ, the Davis kinf and "son of David" and Christ on his eternal throne in heaven. But the "God, your God" is address the the Davidic king at the time the psalm was written. I hope this is of some help to you. | ||||||
626 | what is the cup | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 130018 | ||
Grandma Dee Mark 10:37-40 They answered him, "Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left." Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" They said to him, "We can." Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared." [38-40] Can you drink the cup . . . I am baptized?: the metaphor of drinking the cup is used in the Old Testament to refer to acceptance of the destiny assigned by God; see the note on Ps 11, 6. In Jesus' case, this involves divine judgment on sin that Jesus the innocent one is to expiate on behalf of the guilty (Mark 14:24; Isaiah 53:5). His baptism is to be his crucifixion and death for the salvation of the human race; cf Luke 12:50. The request of James and John for a share in the glory (Mark 10:35-37) must of necessity involve a share in Jesus' sufferings, the endurance of tribulation and suffering for the gospel (Mark 10:39). The authority of assigning places of honor in the kingdom is reserved to God (Mark 10:40). http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/mark/mark10.htm#foot5 Emmaus |

630 | Does asking in His name ever work? | John 14:13 | Emmaus | 129976 | ||
flimreviews, Prayer is not a form of magical incantation that makes God our servant or Genie in a bottle. Sometimes the answer God gives to our prayers is No. He is not amnipulated. we are often like children asking our parents for things we want but which they may know better is not good for us. So they say no or ignore us. Sometimes, James tells us: James 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, I do not know your situation or your motives, but God does and God is not manipulated, even by prayer. There is no "trick"ing God. Emmaus |

631 | purpose of the Cereal offering | OT general | Emmaus | 129967 | ||
I have never seen a good explanation. The best observation I have seen is that the grain or cereal offering almost always accompanies an animal sacrifice. I do not mean this too sound blasphemous, but it almost seems like a side dish to main meat dish offering. Go to the "Get Bible Text" search box to the right and type in grain and thenm click search. It will take you to every verse with grain in it. Emmaus |

632 | What Is The Song Of Soloman? | Song of Solomon | Emmaus | 129899 | ||
"The Song of Songs Introduction The Song of Songs, meaning the greatest of songs (Song 1:1 ), contains in exquisite poetic form the sublime portrayal and praise of the mutual love of the Lord and his people. The Lord is the Lover and his people are the beloved. Describing this relationship in terms of human love, the author simply follows Israel's tradition. Isaiah (Isaiah 5:1-7 ; 54:4-8 ), Jeremiah (Jeremiah 2:2, , 32), and Ezekiel (Eze 16; 23) all characterize the covenant between the Lord and Israel as a marriage. Hosea the prophet sees the idolatry of Israel in the adultery of Gomer (Hosea 1-3). He also represents the Lord speaking to Israel's heart (Hosea 2:16) and changing her into a new spiritual people, purified by the Babylonian captivity and betrothed anew to her divine Lover "in justice and uprightness, in love and mercy" (Hosea 2:21 ). The author of the Song, using the same literary figure, paints a beautiful picture of the ideal Israel, the chosen people of the Old and New Testaments, whom the Lord led by degrees to an exalted spiritual union with himself in the bond of perfect love. When the Song is thus interpreted here is no reason for surprise at the tone of the poem, which employs in its descriptions the courtship and marriage customs of the author's time. Moreover, the poem is not an allegory in which each remark, e. g., in the dialogue of the lovers, has a higher meaning. It is a parable in which the true meaning of mutual love comes from the poem as a whole." http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/songs/intro.htm |

634 | Take a breath | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 129872 | ||
May I suggest that the KJV was a translation which used other translations and manuscripts as sources and reference works and that perhaps older manuscripts have been found indicating that Matt 17:21 was a later copyist's gloss, not found in the oldest manuscripts, intending to harmonize Matthew with Mark. But obviously your issue is not about one verse. Since none of us were there to see the original manuscript of Matthew this seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill. This forum is a bible Study forum, not a place for pet crusades and tirades about the alleged antichrist activities of translators whose work you do not like and about whose faith you know little or nothing. Jerome got the same response in the fourth century after he was asked to do a new Latin translation. But after the furor subsided, his Vulgate was the standard for Western Christianity for 1,000 years. How do you suppose all those non English speaking Christians get by and have gotten by without the KJV for four hundred years? |

638 | Since I am not married, how can I use | 1 Cor 7:34 | Emmaus | 129825 | ||
St. paul addresses this issue in 1 Corinthians 25-40, but especially staring on verse 32. Being in the unmarried state allows you to focus in a special way directly on God and sevice to Him and his people. This does not denigrate the married state. It merely acknowleges that a married person serves God primarily in service to family; spouse and children and only secondarily by other service. |

639 | Is Jesus being called God or a God? | John 1:1 | Emmaus | 129796 | ||
Novetta, This excerpt from a book on the Psalms which I am reading may help. "Psalm 45 is clearly a psalm about the Davidic king and seems to be a wedding psalm. Interestingly, some scholars like, Gary Rendsburg, see this psalm as northern in origin, which would provide another link to the two previous psalms. Mitchell seems to see the placement of this psalm after the plea from exile as an indication of God's plan to restore the land under the Davidic king: "Psalms 42-43 represent Israel in exile...Psalm 45 therefore becomes the answer to this prayer, revealing the redeemer, the bridegroom-king, who will turn Israel's sorrow to joy." "Furthermore, Mitchell shows how the content of Psalms 44 and 45 is much like the scheme of Zecarhiah 9-11. There Israel is described as gathered from exile where they have been "scattered" (Zech 10:9; 13:7; Ps 44:8) by a Davidic king (Zech 2:7-10; 12:7-14; Psalm 450, who comes "riding" in (Zech 9:9; Ps 45:4) as a bridegroom to a daughter/bride (Zech 9:9; Ps 45:10). "Arguably, the most intriguing part of Psalm 45 is it's declaration, "Your throne endures for ever and ever"(v. 6). While some scholars assert that this statement is directed at Yaweh, this does not seem to be the case. Indeed, ALL ancient versions of this passage outside of the Masoretic Text understand this to be a statement directed to the Davidic king, including the Septuagint, the Targums, the New Testament Book of Hebrews, Aquila, Summachus, the Peshitta, and the Vulgate. Hence, the kingship of David is inextricably linked to the kingship of God. This connection is made in 1 Chronicles 28:5: "[The Lord] has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord." Likewise, the Davidic kingdom is clearly understood as the kingdom of God: "[N]ow you think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David" (2 Chron 13:8). "The close connection between the throne of David and the kingship of God is especially seen in the description of Zion as both the city of David and the city of God. Hence Zion is referred to as the "city of God" in Psalm 46:4. Psalm 47 then, is a psalm of God's kingship. This is followed by a song of Zion in Psalm 48. Thus a certain kingship/Zion interlocking patter is formed. Mount Zion manifests the union of the kingship of God with the Davidic dynasty. There is no tension between the two. God reigns through the Davidic king." Singing in the Reign: The Psalms and the Liturgy of God's Kingdom (p 95-97) Michael Barber Emmaus Road Publishing, 2001 Stubenville, OH Emmaus |

Country Girl, i think you misunderstand Catholic teaching about the office of the Pope. He is just a man who must obey and totally submit to the Lord like all others. He can and does sin like others. The gift of infallibility is extremely limited and is what is called a negative charism. That is, the Holy Spirit prevents him from teaching in error on faith and morals under certain very specific and limited circumstances. But that is a whole other subject. Several years ago I did a brief series of posts on the subject at Hanks' request. You can, if you wish, follow that thread from the beginning by going to post number 27130 in the Quick Search box to the right side of the screen. Emmaus |
