chesed, I think everyone can agree that Jesus was not only "showing' but actually had a "Messianic consciousness" because He is the Messiah and so it should be not great surprise that He would fulfill Messianic prophecies. Zechariah 9 :9-17, is obviously a Messianic prophecy. I am not sure that the use of the phrase "to make Jesus fulfill these" is a felicitous choice of words. In any case, I think everyone had made their points and positions clear. We are not required to debate until one party is converted by the other. Perhaps we could all move on to another area of discussion? Please! Everyone! Emmaus |

chesed, My post was not a suggestion that you are Catholic. It merely reflects that I am. So I often quote Catholic sources to show how they express similar thoughts. Emmaus |

Steve, Otherwise stated this way. "The divine plan of Revelation is realized simultaneously by deeds and words which are intrinsically bound up with each other and shed light on each another. It involves a specific divine pedagogy: God communicates himself to man gradually. He prepares him to welcome by stages the supernatural Revelation that is to culminate in the person and mission of the incarnate Word, Jesus Christ." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s1c2a1.htm Emmaus |

Mess46, Always a good question to get pot boinling around here. ;-) Faith and hope of course are theological virtues along with love and they are directly related to the "good news" of the Gospel. Faith according to St Paul is "the subsatnce (or assurance) of things hoped for evidence of things not seen." Where Christinas get in heated disagreement is how they view that assurance of faith. Is it absolute certitude? If so, is it really faith, if we are absolutley certain? Or is it the sin of presumption, one of the two sins against hope, the other of which is despair? For many of us who have fallen on more than one occassion, faith is located somewhere between presumption and despair and we are moved to cling ever closer to God for the grace of perseverance. There have been many posts and debates on the forum about this subject. Just go to the Quick Search box on the right side of the screen and type in "eternal security" or "once saved always saved". You will see the battle laid out in its full array. You will probably learn more than you ever wanted to know on the subject. Here is also a link that dicusses the basics of faith and perserverance. http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s1c3a1.htm#146 Emmaus |

Mike, There is no "best" way to pray. Prayer in a form of communion and communication wih God. As such it can take many forms but includes litenening as well as speaking. Your conversation with God may be formal or informal, praise, pettion, confession etc. Here are two links about prayer that you may find helpful. http://198.62.75.1/www1/CDHN/part4.html http://198.62.75.1/www1/CDHN/part4_2.html Emmaus |

695 | Our confession of sin and God's response | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 128435 | ||
Pia, Gos is aware of our sins, although we often act as if we are not aware of them. Take a look at the story in Luke 18:9-14 "And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.' "But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!' "I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted." The confession of sins "1455 The confession (or disclosure) of sins, even from a simply human point of view, frees us and facilitates our reconciliation with others. Through such an admission man looks squarely at the sins he is guilty of, takes responsibility for them, and thereby opens himself again to God and to the communion of the Church in order to make a new future possible." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p2s2c2a4.htm#IX Emmaus |

Elder, It is an exercise of our entire being which includes our bodies.When, for example, we praise God in prayer or song that is a bodily exercise. When David danced and leapt before the Ark of the covenant that was a bodily exercise of praise. Type in praise in the Translation search word box to the right side of the screen and see what you get. See Psalms 148 and 149just for starters. Emmaus |

FTYRobert, Here is an excerpt from the cdocument I referred you to. 'The Sunday obligation 46. Since the Eucharist is the very heart of Sunday, it is clear why, from the earliest centuries, the Pastors of the Church have not ceased to remind the faithful of the need to take part in the liturgical assembly. "Leave everything on the Lord's Day", urges the third century text known as the Didascalia, "and run diligently to your assembly, because it is your praise of God. Otherwise, what excuse will they make to God, those who do not come together on the Lord's Day to hear the word of life and feed on the divine nourishment which lasts forever?".(75) The faithful have generally accepted this call of the Pastors with conviction of soul and, although there have been times and situations when this duty has not been perfectly met, one should never forget the genuine heroism of priests and faithful who have fulfilled this obligation even when faced with danger and the denial of religious freedom, as can be documented from the first centuries of Christianity up to our own time. In his first Apology addressed to the Emperor Antoninus and the Senate, Saint Justin (151 A.D.) proudly described the Christian practice of the Sunday assembly, which gathered in one place Christians from both the city and the countryside.(76) When, during the persecution of Diocletian, their assemblies were banned with the greatest severity, many were courageous enough to defy the imperial decree and accepted death rather than miss the Sunday Eucharist. This was the case of the martyrs of Abitina (304 A.D.), in Proconsular Africa, who replied to their accusers: "Without fear of any kind we have celebrated the Lord's Supper, because it cannot be missed; that is our law"; "We cannot live without the Lord's Supper". As she confessed her faith, one of the martyrs said: "Yes, I went to the assembly and I celebrated the Lord's Supper with my brothers and sisters, because I am a Christian".(77) 47. Even if in the earliest times it was not judged necessary to be prescriptive, the Church has not ceased to confirm this obligation of conscience, which rises from the inner need felt so strongly by the Christians of the first centuries. It was only later, faced with the half-heartedness or negligence of some, that the Church had to make explicit the duty to attend Sunday Mass: more often than not, this was done in the form of exhortation, but at times the Church had to resort to specific canonical precepts. This was the case in a number of local Councils from the fourth century onwards (as at the Council of Elvira of 300, which speaks not of an obligation but of penalties after three absences)(78) and most especially from the sixth century onwards (as at the Council of Agde in 506).(79) These decrees of local Councils led to a universal practice, the obligatory character of which was taken as something quite normal.(80) The Code of Canon Law of 1917 for the first time gathered this tradition into a universal law.(81) The present Code reiterates this, saying that "on Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to attend Mass".(82) This legislation has normally been understood as entailing a grave obligation: this is the teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church,(83) and it is easy to understand why if we keep in mind how vital Sunday is for the Christian life."
