"The church even went so far off track as to make a mere human being the Pope of the Catholic faith, and allowed him to declare himself equal to God." Rowdy, When did that happen. I missed it. So did the popes. Someone should let them know. Emmaus |

204 | purgatory | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 123681 | ||
Mike, Resident Catholic here! Welcome to the Forum. Purgatory, like the word Trinity, is not found in scripture but the concept is implicit in scripture. Here are links to two articles that explain it with the scriptural citation. It goes without saying that others here do not agree. http://www.catholic.com/library/Purgatory.asp http://www.catholic.com/library/Roots_of_Purgatory.asp Emmaus |

205 | When did Jesus become The Christ? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 123877 | ||
As Hank and Kalos pointed out, Jesus is the eternally pre-existent Son of the Father, the same yesterday, today and forever. That being said, the technical term "the Christ" or "the annointed one" is fulfilled when Jesus was baptised by John and "annointed with the Holy Spirit" to begin his mission as Priest, Prophet and King. "The word "Christ" comes from the Greek translation of the Hebrew Messiah, which means "anointed". It became the name proper to Jesus only because he accomplished perfectly the divine mission that "Christ" signifies. In effect, in Israel those consecrated to God for a mission that he gave were anointed in his name. This was the case for kings, for priests and, in rare instances, for prophets(Cf. Ex 29:7; Lev 8:12; 1 Sam 9:16; 10:1; 16:1,12-13; 1 Kings 1:39; 19:16). This had to be the case all the more so for the Messiah whom God would send to inaugurate his kingdom definitively(Cf. Ps 2:2; Acts 4:26-27.) It was necessary that the Messiah be anointed by the Spirit of the Lord at once as king and priest, and also as prophet (Cf. Isa 11:2; 61:1; Zech 4:14; 6:13; Lk 4:16-21). Jesus fulfilled the messianic hope of Israel in his threefold office of priest, prophet and king. " To the shepherds, the angel announced the birth of Jesus as the Messiah promised to Israel: "To you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." (Lk 2:11). From the beginning he was "the one whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world", conceived as "holy" in Mary's virginal womb (Jn 10:36; cf. Lk 1:35). God called Joseph to "take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit", so that Jesus, "who is called Christ", should be born of Joseph's spouse into the messianic lineage of David (Mt 1:20; cf. 1:16; Rom 1:1; 2 Tim 2:8; Rev 22:16)." "Jesus' messianic consecration reveals his divine mission, "for the name 'Christ' implies 'he who anointed', 'he who was anointed' and 'the very anointing with which he was anointed'. The one who anointed is the Father, the one who was anointed is the Son, and he was anointed with the Spirit who is the anointing.'" (St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 3,18,3:PG 7/1,934). His eternal messianic consecration was revealed during the time of his earthly life at the moment of his baptism by John, when "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power", "that he might be revealed to Israel" (Acts 10:38; Jn 1:31) as its Messiah. His works and words will manifest him as "the Holy One of God" (Mk 1:24; Jn 6:69; Acts 3:14). " http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s2c2a2.htm Emmaus |

211 | what happened to the ark of the covenant | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 124372 | ||
The last mention of the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament of Protestant Bibles is in Jermiah 3:16. Jer 3:16 "It shall be in those days when you are multiplied and increased in the land," declares the LORD, "they will no longer say, 'The ark of the covenant of the LORD.' And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it, nor will they miss it, nor will it be made again. In Catholic Bibles it is mention in 2 Macabees 2:4-8, a passage which refers to documents not found in either the Protestant of Catholic Bible "The same document also tells how the prophet, following a divine revelation, ordered that the tent and the ark should accompany him and how he went off to the mountain which Moses climbed to see God's inheritance. When Jeremiah arrived there, he found a room in a cave in which he put the tent, the ark, and the altar of incense; then he blocked up the entrance. Some of those who followed him came up intending to mark the path, but they could not find it. When Jeremiah heard of this, he reproved them: "The place is to remain unknown until God gathers his people together again and shows them mercy. Then the Lord will disclose these things, and the glory of the Lord will be seen in the cloud, just as it appeared in the time of Moses and when Solomon prayed that the Place might be gloriously sanctified." 2 Macabees 2:4-8 http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/2maccabees/2maccabees2.htm Others have mentioned the stories of an Ark in Ethiopia that no one ever sees. |

212 | A "Passion" question | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 124443 | ||
6 days, Sorry to be so slow in responding. I did not see your question until I saw EdB resposne which was pretty accurate. Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerick, was an Augustian Nun, who had many visions of the life of Christ, which were recorded by Brentano in four volumes. A book on the Passion was also published from those volumes titled The Dorous Passion of Out Lord Jesus Christ. It is available in print from TAN books. It has been some time since I read the book, but I do recall the scene with "Veronica" and the scene with Mary wiping up the blood as coming from the book. Gibson used these details to fill out the Gospel accounts. They are not Scripture and not part of Sacred Tradition and Catholics are not bound to accept any private revelation. It is part of popular devotions and the popular tradition about "Veronica" is very ancient and predated Emmerich's visions by over 1,000 years. Sacred Tradition and popular traditions or customs are two very different things for Catholics.

213 | SEX and MARRIAGE | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 124482 | ||
You are not crazy, your friend is. So,if you have sex with many people or with people of the same sex or both sexes, are you married to all of them? Ask your friend where this logic ends and if the marriage ends when you stop having sex. You have to make him or her see the logical extensions of the assertion as it would play out in real extended circumstances. I don't think verses are going to sway this person. Emmaus |

214 | SEX and MARRIAGE | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 124567 | ||
Why does your friend not take into consideration what the NT has to say? Is it because it may disagree with him or her or some other reason? If so, what is the reason? Anyway, check out Leviticus for lots of situations that call for punishment. It is not all about men and men. You might also want to look at all tha passages that decribe the relationship between ancient Israel and God and Christ and the Church as a marital relationship. It is a covenant relationship, which is a different thing than a mere contract. A contract involves an exchanges of goods and services. A covenant is involves giving our very selves in every dimension to each other. the difference diffenrence between a contract and a covenant is like the difference between a man and a prostitute (exchange of goods(money) and services)and a marriage between a man and a woman as husband and wife, a total unconditional irrevocable donation of self to one another. So what was your friend's response to the logical questions? And how does he or she define marriage other than having sexual relations? How does your freind define fornication if it is not sex before marriage? You might want to get all the verses that mention fornication. It can't be fornicaation and marriage at the same time can it? St Paul says "the marriage bed is undefiled." That must mean that the marriage bed is different than other beds where sex is taking place that are defiled. So sex alone cannot be the only defining aspect of marriage. If this person is involved in such a situation, I still don't thing verses will matter because rationalization is going to take place to justify the behavior that the person is enjoying at the moment.

215 | Jehovah's Witness Question | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 124593 | ||
Dadda, They are not misunderstood. They are really not Christians in that they do not believe in the Holy Trinity or the Diivnity of Jesus Christ. Tey belive he is Michael the Archangel incarnate and that Satan is His brother. the do not believe in the Personhood of the holy Spirit, but rather that the Holy Spirit is an impersonal "force" from God. I would advise getting well grounded in the christian faith and avoiding the confusion you will expeience in dialogue with the Witnesses. Emmaus |

217 | Is God cruel, when he had people killed? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 124819 | ||
Cariad, I do not have a pat answer to your question other than God's Sovreignty. It is worth noting however, that according to the Bible we all die because of just the sin of Adam, before even considering our own personal sins. It al a matter of timing in a very small space of time when compared to eternity. On the other hand, we can all live for eternity because of the sacrifice of Jesus. That not really fair either, but is anyone complaining? Emmaus |

218 | Jehovah's Witness Question | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 124903 | ||
VictorA, 1) How would you define angel? The literal definition is a messenger. 2) How would you define archangel? The literal definition is a lead- or head- messenger. 3) Is Jesus the "only begotten god" of Jehovah as John 1:18 says? "The title "Son of God" signifies the unique and eternal relationship of Jesus Christ to God his Father: he is the only Son of the Father (cf. Jn 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18); he is God himself (cf. Jn 1:1). To be a Christian, one must believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (cf. Acts 8:37; 1 Jn 2:23). "Following this apostolic tradition, the Church confessed at the first ecumenical council at Nicaea (325) that the Son is "consubstantial" with the Father, that is, one only God with him. The second ecumenical council, held at Constantinople in 381, kept this expression in its formulation of the Nicene Creed and confessed "the only-begotten Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father". 4) Is Jesus the "only begotten son" of Jehovah? He is the only begotten Son of god. See answer to number 3. 5) How many heavenly sons does Jehovah God have? All believers and the unfallen angelic host. "The Word became flesh to make us "partakers of the divine nature":"For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God." ..."The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods." 6) Was Satan a son of God before he rebelled? Yes, but unlike Jesus, a created rather than begotten son of God. Now here is my question for you. Does the passage below describing the Arians sound like the Jehovah Witnesses to you? "From apostolic times the Christian faith has insisted on the true incarnation of God's Son "come in the flesh".But already in the third century, the Church in a council at Antioch had to affirm against Paul of Samosata that Jesus Christ is Son of God by nature and not by adoption. The first ecumenical council of Nicaea in 325 confessed in its Creed that the Son of God is "begotten, not made, of the same substance (homoousios) as the Father", and condemned Arius, who had affirmed that the Son of God "came to be from things that were not" and that he was "from another substance" than that of the Father." Thank you Victor. Emmaus |

VictorA, "The Myth of God Incarnate,” Have you read the book? No. "I personally talk to hundereds of Catholics and Protestants regularly and most do not believe what the Trinity is either. Their leaders may but they tell me they don't." How sad. Since I wasn't there I can't really agree or disagree on your personal statement. But the distinctive of Christianity is a believe in the Trinity. maybe some of the people you spoke to are mislabeling themselves. Emmaus |

220 | Purity in concerns with being raped | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 124972 | ||
Patts, God bless you. You cannot be made impure by what someone else does to you. Jesus said what defiles a person is what comes from their heart not something from outside them. Although the passages below refer to unclean foods, the principle can also apply in situation such as you have experienced. Matt 15:11 "It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man." Mark 7:20 And He was saying, "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. God peace be with you. Emmaus |
