241 | Do portals exist between heaven n earth? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 126940 | ||
daughter of Glenn, I think J Crichton offered the best answer. Better than my first one. The word portal is actually a synonym for door and door is one of the descriptions of portal in the dictionary. That is why doorkeepers are often called porters. They receive quests at the door or portal and help then with their luggage. JCrichton said Jesus was the only portal. I think she is correct. John 10:7 So Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. John 10:9 "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. Emmaus |

The Te Deum, the traditional hymn of thanksgiving. In thanks for Justme's healing. You are God we praise you; You are the Lord: we acclaim you; You are eternal father: all creation worships you. To you all angels, all the powers of heaven Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise; Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are fiull of your glory. The glorious company of apostles praise you. The noble fellowship of prophets praise you. The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you: Father, of majesty unbounded, your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the holy spirit, advocate and guide. You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father. When you became man to set us free you did not spurn the Virgin's womb. You overcame the sting of death, and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You are seated at God's right hand in glory. We believe that you will come and be our judge. Come then Lord, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood, and bring us with your saints to glory everlasting. |

Reposting for Justme. Please do not answer. This is a Praise The Lord from Mrs. Justme and Justme!! Today Friday July 23, 2004 the Cat Scan showed NO Blood Clots whatsoever in my lungs! The doctors and nurses were saying this is a Miracle if ever there was one! Please thank the Lord with me. Thank each of you for remembering me in prayer.

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."

250 | 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 |

Or the Nicean Creed which elaborates a little on the Apsotles Creed. The Nicean Creed I believe in (Romans 10: 8-10; 1 John 4: 15) ONE God, (Deuteronomy 6: 4, Ephesians 4: 6) the Father (Matthew 6: 9) the Almighty, (Exodus 6: 3) Maker of Heaven and Earth, (Genesis 1: 1; 14:19) and of all things visible and invisible. (Colossians 1: 15-16) And in ONE Lord Jesus Christ, (Acts 11: 17) only Son of God, (Mathew 14: 33; 16: 16; Luke 1:35) Only-Begotten, (John 1: 18; 3: 16) Begotten of the Father before all ages. (John 1: 2) Light from Light; (Psalm 27: 1; John 8: 12; Matthew 17: 2,5; Hebrews 1:3) True God from True God; (John 17: 1-5) Begotten, not made; (John 1: 18) of one essence with the Father (John 10: 30) through whom all things were made; (John 1:1-4; Hebrews 1: 1-2) Who for us men and for our salvation (1 Timothy 2: 4-5) came down from heaven, (John 3:13; 6: 33,35) and made incasrnate by the power of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18) was born of the Virgin Mary ( Luke 1: 35; 2:7) and became man. (John 1: 14) And He was crucified for us (Mark 15: 25; 1 Corinthians 15: 3) under Pontius Pilate, (John 19: 6) suffered, died (Mark 8: 31; John 19:33-34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4) and was buried. (Luke 23: 53; 1 Corinthians 15: 4) And on the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures, (Luke 24: 1 1 Corinthians 15: 4) and ascended into heaven, (Luke 24: 51; Acts 1: 10) and sits at the right hand of the Father; (Mark 16: 19; Acts 7: 55) and He shall come again in glory (Matthew 24: 27) to judge the living and the dead; (Acts 10: 42; 2 Timothy 4: 1) and His Kingdom shall have no end. (Luke 1:33; 2 Peter 1: 11) And in the Holy Spirit, (John 14: 26) Lord, (Acts 5: 3-4) Giver of Life, (Genesis 1: 2) Who proceeds from the Father and the Son; (John 14:16; 15: 26) Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; (Matthew 3: 16-17) Who spoke through the prophets.

(Acts 2: 42; Ephesians 2: 19-22) I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. (Ephesians 4: 5; Acts 2:38) I look for the resurrection of the dead, (John 11: 24; Romans 6:5; 1 Corinthians 15: 12-49; Hebrews 6: 2; Revelation 20: 5) and the life in the world to come. (Mark 10: 29-30) AMEN. (Psalm 106: 48) 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 |

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 |

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 |

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, "I wasn't sure if this site was open to Catholics, so I wanted to state that I was not. But I am glad to see that your view is accepted here." I have been here for several years. I do not know if I would say my Catholic views are always "accepted" here. They are when the Catholic and Protestants view coincide. Otherwise they are generally courteously "respected", so long as I can cite sciptural sources, but not necessarily "accepted." There is a lesson I have learned that would be good for many others to take to heart. When I see that agreement with my position is not likely, having made my point, I move on to other topics. Prudence in this regard is a indispensable virtue. Those who seems incapable of breaking off from a debate do not seem to last long here. Long debates are considered divisive and not good for the Forum. Warnings and revocations of privileges are sent to those who wear out their welcome by endless debate which drives others away from the site. I hope this advice increases your longevity here.
