102 | Nazirite ... immaculate conception??? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 104946 | ||
Searcher, Eighty percent of the Old Testament citations in the New Testament are quotes from the Septuagint, including most of Jesus' quotes. Luke 1:15 has an implict reference to the Septuagint version of 1 Samuel 1:11 which includes the Nazarite vows promised of Samuel by his mother when she promised to dedicate him to the Lord. Samuel was another great prophet and precursor the first king of the Jews, as john was to The King of the Jews. These details are not found in the Hebrew version of 1 Samuel 1:11. "and she made a vow (1), promising: "O LORD of hosts, if you look with pity on the misery of your handmaid, if you remember me and do not forget me, if you give your handmaid a male child, I will give him to the LORD for as long as he lives; neither wine nor liquor shall he drink, and no razor shall ever touch his head." 1 [11] Give him to the LORD: some ancient texts call Samuel a nazir in this context" NAB Bible and footnote The NAB is a Catholic Bible translations and in passages where the where an Old Tetsament passage is cited in the New Testament is from the Septuagint, it follows the Septuagint translation in the Old Testament passage also. Since the Septuagint was translated from the Hebrew to the Greek by Jewish scholars about 200 years before the birth of Christ, it gives clear reflection of how the Hebrew passage was understood and also how the early Christians, most of whom, both Jews of the Disapora and Gentiles, understood certain passages. The early Church used the Septuagint because they spoke Greek not Hebrew, which is also why the New Testament was written in Greek. See my previous post #104494 on Isaiah 7:14 which addresses the same issues on a different text Matt 1:23 and Is 7:14. I don't undewrstand the "Immaculate Conception" question either. Some people confuse that with virgin birth but it is not the same. Immaculate Conception has to do with being conceive "immaculate" or "pure" from sin, not virgin birth. In any case neither applies to Samson, Samuel or John. Emmaus |

105 | Why has the Bible not been added to? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 108602 | ||
kandrews, "Who decided that that was the end of all word that is "God breathed?" " The bishops of the Catholic Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, (John 16:3) in Councils which determined which books were of Apostolic origin and and constituted divinely insired revelation and were therefore Sacred Scripture. Other contending manuscripts were rejected as not divinely inspired revelation. The earliest list of the Canon of Scripture as we know it today was given at the Council of Hippo in North Africa in 393 A.D. Public Revelation ended with the death of the last of Apostles who were eye witnesses to Jesus Christ who is the Rvelation of God. Emmaus |

106 | Does Satan know my thoughts? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 108608 | ||
JohantTide, " Is Satan "all knowing" , Does he know my thoughts? " No, Satan is not "all knowing." Only God is all knowing. Satan just wishes he was and likes it if people think he is all knowing. He can only tell what you you are thinking by what you say and do and how you act. But he knows all the basic weaknesses and evil proclivities of mankind from millenia of close observation and practice at seducing mankind in all kinds of situation. Emmaus |

No, angels are not born and they are not men or women who have died and gone to heaven. They are pure spirits created by God. They are a different order of beings than man in creation. | ||||||
109 | Is marriage necessary? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 109791 | ||
Marriage is the sign of the committment. It is a Covenant oath by which a man and a woman committ their entire selves to one another, just as God committs Himself to us and we committ ourselves to Him. Interestingly, even in civil law a husband and wife in many ways become a single corporate entity like a corporation. "One body" so to speak for legal purposes. Now you might ask what is the difference between a Covenant and a contract. The difference is tha same as the difference between committment for life, for better or worse and a transaction between a man and a prostitute, a simple contract involving an anchanges of goods (money) for services (sex). In some ways sexual a relationship without the covenant of marriage is on an even lower level that an exchange with a prostitute. At least in that case there is a clear understanding of what is being exchanged, what each party's obligation is and how long the relationship will last. Kind of a sad commnentary on what has become a way of life in the world today don't you think? Emmaus |

Nolan, Congratulations on your impending nuptuals. I presume that the Bride is as good a catch as the groom. May God bless you both in your life together. Our loss in time and priority is her gain and rightly so. Emmaus |

112 | Is cremation right for believers? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 110162 | ||
Ken John, You may appreciate two articles at links below. The first was written in 1911 for the Catholic Encyclopedia and the second in 1998 as an instruction on liturgical norms for Christian funerals and burial. Scripture itself does not anywhere forbid cremation, but tradition, both Jewish and Christian generally avoided it for reasons made clear in the first artcle. Burial vs. cremation is not an article of Dogma, but rather a discipline based on ancient traditonal practices. I hope they are of some help to you. Others may have other information and i look forward to their input also. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04481c.htm http://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/CDWCREMA.HTM Emmaus |

Adonai means "Lord' and it is usually used in Hebrew scripture when the name of God or Yahweh is written, because the scared name of God is never pronounced in Hebrew. |

dckraus, You can find it just about anywhere from Genwesis to Revelation. Just the life of Jesus in the Gospels is enough. But to narrow it down try Job and Ecclesiastes. Emmaus |

116 | Please recommend Apocrypha concordance | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 110907 | ||
Kalos, The only Catholic Concordance I am familiar with is one for the Douay Rheims version, which includes the Deuterocanonical books. http://www.booksforcatholics.com/ Emmaus |

Kalos, For the NAB, I recommend the Saint Joseph Edition, Large Print. There may also be a Giant Print Edition. It does not have a concordance, but does have a brief Bible dictionary and a doctrinal index as weel as the schedule of Sunday readings for the three year Lectionary Cycle. That is useful for typological study among other things. http://www.catholicbkpub.com/ ISBN: 0-89942-970-X No. of Pages: 1696 Size: 6 1/2 X 9 1/4 Color: BURGUNDY Cover: BONDED LEATHER Price: 41.00 Gold page edging enhances the beauty of this exquisite edition of the Bible. GIFT BOXED. Special Features: • Large, Easy-to-Read 11 pt. Type • 90 Full-Color Illustrations • Presentation Page • Colorful, 8-Page Family Record • Rosary and Stations in Full Color • Over 70 Photographs • Bible Dictionary • Self-Explaining Maps • Ribbon Marker I must sorrowfully admit that Catholic publishers for some reason do not seem to publish concordances. Personally I use Crudens Complete Concordance for the KJV/RSV and another concise concordance in the back of a KJV Bible that was given to my wife in Sunday school in 1959 when she was 9. It has the most wonderful group of study aids and resources in the back. I directed you too an excellent Concordane to the Douay Rheims in another response. That is a big harback, similar to Strongs but rather pricey at 85 dollars. Sorry I can't be of more help. Emmaus |

Kalos, I also found this at http://www.catholicbkpub.com/ but I could not get the link to see a sample page work. Since I have never seen the book, I cannot say exactly what it means by the title "Dictionary Concordance". You might want to got to the website and search for Concordance and see if you can make it work. At least the price is right at 6.95 for a book over 700 pages. Product Code: W2416 ISBN: 0-529-04540-0 No. of Pages: 768 Size: 4 1/4 X 7 Color: FULL COLOR Cover: PAPERBACK Price: 6.95 Emmaus This major reference work is a rich companion volume to the distinguished New American Bible.

Kalos, Don't miss the extra verses in Daniel: the Song of the Three Children in the Fire, Daniel, Bel and the Dragon and the story of Susanna, which may have the most ancient known description of a lawyer sequestering witnesses. There are also some extra verses in Esther. Emmaus |

120 | Can a true christian lose salvation? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 110972 | ||
Jonny, I think once you are inside the Pearly gates everone will agree that salvation can not be lost. Before that point there are differing onpinions all support by various scripture passages that the two parties disagree about on interpretation. It seems wise to just cut to the chase on this line of questioning. You can see all the arguments in the archives by typing assurance of salavtion or eteranl security in the Quick Search box.
