161 | where is Moses buried | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 117373 | ||

162 | Is Moses in Heaven or Hell | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 117394 | ||
I would say at this point Moses is wherever Jesus is and I think we can safely say that is heaven. He was obvioulsy concious and in communication with Jesus even before the Resurrection based on the passages of the Transfiguration, where he was speaking with Jesus along with Elijah, "about the exodus He was going to accomplish in Jerusalem".(Luke 9:28-36) So obviously Moses and Elijah, although not yet resuurected in the body, at that time were concious, even if they were then residing in what is variously called Hades, Sheol and Abraham's Bosom. This is further supported by the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31. The rich man and Lazarus were both in Hades or Sheol, but Lazarus was on the happy side(the Bosom of Abraham) while the rich man was on the other unhappy hot side. They were separated by a great chasm, but both were concious along with Abraham who spoke to the rich man. Emmaus |

Rowdy, I would like to make just two comments. "It's difficult to come up with all the reasons but I think one of them was the fact going to the cross for Jesus was going to be the first time in His existence of His being separated from His Father. Remember although this plan had been in God's mind before the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, Christ had never had the sins of the world heaped onto Him which forced God to turn his back to His own Son." Since you know that "this plan had been in God's mind before the fall of man" if would seem an unfortunate choice of words to say that the Father "was forced" to turn his back on the Son. God is not "forced" to to anything. His will is accomplished and His will cannnot be forced or acted upon by any other will or power. I assume you do not believe any different from this must merely made an unfortunate choice of words. "Jesus was going to be the first time in His existence of His being separated from His Father" Jesus was at no time separated from his Father in his divinity. The Father and He are one in being with each other and the Holy Spirit.(John 14:7-11) In experiencing death Jesus was experiening death as a man: the separation of his body and his human soul. That is enough to cause plenty of anguish to Jesus, a true man. But it was his confidence in the Father that carried him through his ordeal in faith. "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit, you will redeem me Lord, faithful God!" Psalm 31:6; Luke 23:46; Acts 7:59 In his Divine Person, the Son, the Word still possesed His body and soul though they were separated from one another for a time in order to accomplish the divine plan of salavtion. For the Son, Jesus Christ is one Divine Person with two natures and only his human nature suffered the separation of its two integral pasrts, body and soul, but the one Divine Person was never separated into two, for there was never but one Divine Person incarnated and taking on a human nature comprised of body and soul.

Rowdy, Psalm 22 in Luke 27:46. Matthew's other allusions to Psalm 22: Matt 27:35(Ps 22:18); Matt 27:39(Ps 22:7); Matt 27:43(Ps 22:8). Psalm 22 is depict the plight of a righteous sufferer who, although innocent, is mocked and scorned by his ungodly persecutors. He turns to God in his distress, relying on God for his deliverance and final vindication. This is what Jesus is doing when he prays Psalm 22 on the cross. He trusts God (Matt 27:43) and surrenders his spirit to God (Luke 24:46) believing that God with turn his humiliation and apparent defeat into victory.(cf Luke 24:43). The big picture: "Jesus handed over according to the definite plan of God" 599.Jesus' violent death was not the result of chance in an unfortunate coincidence of circumstances, but is part of the mystery of God's plan, as St. Peter explains to the Jews of Jerusalem in his first sermon on Pentecost: "This Jesus [was] delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God."(Acts 2:23) This Biblical language does not mean that those who handed him over were merely passive players in a scenario written in advance by God.(Cf. Acts 3:13) 600. To God, all moments of time are present in their immediacy. When therefore he establishes his eternal plan of "predestination", he includes in it each person's free response to his grace: "In this city, in fact, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place."(Acts 4:27-28; cf. Ps 2:1-2) For the sake of accomplishing his plan of salvation, God permitted the acts that flowed from their blindness.(Cf. Mt 26:54; Jn 18:36; 19:11; Acts 3:17-18) "He died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures" 601. The Scriptures had foretold this divine plan of salvation through the putting to death of "the righteous one, my Servant" as a mystery of universal redemption, that is, as the ransom that would free men from the slavery of sin.(Isa 53:11; cf. 53:12; Jn 8:34-36; Acts 3:14) Citing a confession of faith that he himself had "received", St. Paul professes that "Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures."(1 Cor 15:3; cf. also Acts 3:18; 7:52; 13:29; 26:22-23) In particular Jesus' redemptive death fulfills Isaiah's prophecy of the suffering Servant.(Cf. Isa 53:7-8 and Acts 8:32-35) Indeed Jesus himself explained the meaning of his life and death in the light of God's suffering Servant.(Cf. Mt 20:28) After his Resurrection he gave this interpretation of the Scriptures to the disciples at Emmaus, and then to the apostles.(1 Pt 1:18-20) "For our sake God made him to be sin" 602.Consequently, St. Peter can formulate the apostolic faith in the divine plan of salvation in this way: "You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers. . . with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake."(1 Pt 1:18-20) Man's sins, following on original sin, are punishable by death.(Cf. Rom 5:12; 1 Cor 15:56) By sending his own Son in the form of a slave, in the form of a fallen humanity, on account of sin, God "made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."(2 Cor 5:21; cf. Phil 2:7; Rom 8:3) 603. Jesus did not experience reprobation as if he himself had sinned.(Cf. Jn 8:46) But in the redeeming love that always united him to the Father, he assumed us in the state of our waywardness of sin, to the point that he could say in our name from the cross: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"(Mk 15:34; Ps 22:2; cf. Jn 8:29) Having thus established him in solidarity with us sinners, God "did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all", so that we might be "reconciled to God by the death of his Son".(Rom 8:32; 5:10) http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a4p2.htm#II Emmaus |

"Prayer as covenant 2562 Where does prayer come from? Whether prayer is expressed in words or gestures, it is the whole man who prays. But in naming the source of prayer, Scripture speaks sometimes of the soul or the spirit, but most often of the heart (more than a thousand times). According to Scripture, it is the heart that prays. If our heart is far from God, the words of prayer are in vain. 2563 The heart is the dwelling-place where I am, where I live; according to the Semitic or Biblical expression, the heart is the place "to which I withdraw." The heart is our hidden center, beyond the grasp of our reason and of others; only the Spirit of God can fathom the human heart and know it fully. The heart is the place of decision, deeper than our psychic drives. It is the place of truth, where we choose life or death. It is the place of encounter, because as image of God we live in relation: it is the place of covenant. 2564 Christian prayer is a covenant relationship between God and man in Christ. It is the action of God and of man, apringing forth from both the Holy Spirit and ourselves, wholly directed to the Father, in union with the human will of the Son of God made man. I. PURIFICATION OF THE HEART 2517 The heart is the seat of moral personality: "Out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication. . . . "305 The struggle against carnal covetousness entails purifying the heart and practicing temperance: Remain simple and innocent, and you will be like little children who do not know the evil that destroys man's life.306 2518 The sixth beatitude proclaims, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."307 "Pure in heart" refers to those who have attuned their intellects and wills to the demands of God's holiness, chiefly in three areas: charity;308 chastity or sexual rectitude;309 love of truth and orthodoxy of faith.310 There is a connection between purity of heart, of body, and of faith: The faithful must believe the articles of the Creed "so that by believing they may obey God, by obeying may live well, by living well may purify their hearts, and with pure hearts may understand what they believe."311 2519 The "pure in heart" are promised that they will see God face to face and be like him.312 Purity of heart is the precondition of the vision of God. Even now it enables us to see according to God, to accept others as "neighbors"; it lets us perceive the human body - ours and our neighbor's - as a temple of the Holy Spirit, a manifestation of divine beauty. 305 Mt 15:19. 306 Pastor Hermae, Mandate 2,1:PG 2,916. 307 Mt 5:8. 308 Cf. 1 Tim 4:3-9; 2 Tim 2:22. 309 Cf. 1 Thess 4:7; Col 3:5; Eph 4:19. 310 Cf.

lonnie, Worship and Praise "WORSHIP 2096 Adoration is the first act of the virtue of religion. To adore God is to acknowledge him as God, as the Creator and Savior, the Lord and Master of everything that exists, as infinite and merciful Love. "You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve," says Jesus, citing Deuteronomy.(Lk 4:8; Cf. Deut 6:13) 2097 To adore God is to acknowledge, in respect and absolute submission, the "nothingness of the creature" who would not exist but for God. To adore God is to praise and exalt him and to humble oneself, as Mary did in the Magnificat, confessing with gratitude that he has done great things and holy is his name.(Cf. Lk 1:46-49) The worship of the one God sets man free from turning in on himself, from the slavery of sin and the idolatry of the world. 2135 "You shall worship the Lord your God" (Mt 4:10). Adoring God, praying to him, offering him the worship that belongs to him, fulfilling the promises and vows made to him are acts of the virtue of religion which fall under obedience to the first commandment. PRAISE 2626 Blessing expresses the basic movement of Christian prayer: it is an encounter between God and man. In blessing, God's gift and man's acceptance of it are united in dialogue with each other. The prayer of blessing is man's response to God's gifts: because God blesses, the human heart can in return bless the One who is the source of every blessing. 2639 Praise is the form of prayer which recognizes most immediately that God is God. It lauds God for his own sake and gives him glory, quite beyond what he does, but simply because HE IS. It shares in the blessed happiness of the pure of heart who love God in faith before seeing him in glory. By praise, the Spirit is joined to our spirits to bear witness that we are children of God,(Cf. Rom 8:16) testifying to the only Son in whom we are adopted and by whom we glorify the Father. Praise embraces the other forms of prayer and carries them toward him who is its source and goal: the "one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist."(1 Cor 8:6) 2640 St. Luke in his gospel often expresses wonder and praise at the marvels of Christ and in his Acts of the Apostles stresses them as actions of the Holy Spirit: the community of Jerusalem, the invalid healed by Peter and John, the crowd that gives glory to God for that, and the pagans of Pisidia who "were glad and glorified the word of God."(Acts 2:47; 3:9; 4:21; 13:48) 2641 "[Address] one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart."(Eph 5:19; Col 3:16) Like the inspired writers of the New Testament, the first Christian communities read the Book of Psalms in a new way, singing in it the mystery of Christ. In the newness of the Spirit, they also composed hymns and canticles in the light of the unheard-of event that God accomplished in his Son: his Incarnation, his death which conquered death, his Resurrection, and Ascension to the right hand of the Father.(Cf. Phil 2:6-11; Col 1:15-20; Eph 5:14; 1 Tim 3:16; 6:15-16; 2 Tim 2:11-13) Doxology, the praise of God, arises from this "marvelous work" of the whole economy of salvation.(Cf. Eph 1:3-14; Rom 16:25-27; Eph 3:20-21; Jude 24-25) 2642 The Revelation of "what must soon take place," the Apocalypse, is borne along by the songs of the heavenly liturgy(Cf. Rev 4:8-11; 5:9-14; 7:10-12) but also by the intercession of the "witnesses" (martyrs).(Rev 6:10) The prophets and the saints, all those who were slain on earth for their witness to Jesus, the vast throng of those who, having come through the great tribulation, have gone before us into the Kingdom, all sing the praise and glory of him who sits on the throne, and of the Lamb.(Cf. Rev 18:24; 19:1-8) In communion with them, the Church on earth also sings these songs with faith in the midst of trial. By means of petition and intercession, faith hopes against all hope and gives thanks to the "Father of lights," from whom "every perfect gift" comes down.(Jas 1:17) Thus faith is pure praise.
