261 | several "Marys" in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 129133 | ||
Geof, Catholics do not worship Mary as they worship God. They do honor and revere her along with the saints. Only God is worthy of divine worship or Latria. The saints are due honor called dulia and Mary hyperdulia. And the Greek Orthodox make Catholics look like pikers in their honor of Mary. But who could ever bestow more honor on her than God already has? See this link for an explanation of the Greek. http://ic.net/(insert tilde here)erasmus/RAZ204.HTM On the question about the "brothers and sisters" of Jesus see this link. http://www.catholic.com/library/Brethren_of_the_Lord.asp Regarding the first resurrection and the second resurrection. The first is baptism (Romans 6)where we are baptised into his death and resurrection. the second resurrection is the resurrection of the body at the Second coming. (See also Rev 20:6) "556 On the threshold of the public life: the baptism; on the threshold of the Passover: the Transfiguration. Jesus' baptism proclaimed "the mystery of the first regeneration", namely, our Baptism; the Transfiguration "is the sacrament of the second regeneration": our own Resurrection.(St. Thomas Aquinas, STh III, 45, 4, ad 2) From now on we share in the Lord's Resurrection through the Spirit who acts in the sacraments of the Body of Christ. The Transfiguration gives us a foretaste of Christ's glorious coming, when he "will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body."(Phil 3:21) But it also recalls that "it is through many persecutions that we must enter the kingdom of God":(Acts 14:22) "Peter did not yet understand this when he wanted to remain with Christ on the mountain. It has been reserved for you, Peter, but for after death. For now, Jesus says: "Go down to toil on earth, to serve on earth, to be scorned and crucified on earth. Life goes down to be killed; Bread goes down to suffer hunger; the Way goes down to be exhausted on his journey; the Spring goes down to suffer thirst; and you refuse to suffer?"(St. Augustine, Sermo 78, 6: PL 38, 492-493; cf. Lk 9:33) http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/556.htm On the second coming see this: http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s2c2a7.htm#I Emmaus |

May I suggest that the KJV was a translation which used other translations and manuscripts as sources and reference works and that perhaps older manuscripts have been found indicating that Matt 17:21 was a later copyist's gloss, not found in the oldest manuscripts, intending to harmonize Matthew with Mark. But obviously your issue is not about one verse. Since none of us were there to see the original manuscript of Matthew this seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill. This forum is a bible Study forum, not a place for pet crusades and tirades about the alleged antichrist activities of translators whose work you do not like and about whose faith you know little or nothing. Jerome got the same response in the fourth century after he was asked to do a new Latin translation. But after the furor subsided, his Vulgate was the standard for Western Christianity for 1,000 years. How do you suppose all those non English speaking Christians get by and have gotten by without the KJV for four hundred years? |

269 | what is the cup | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 130018 | ||
Grandma Dee Mark 10:37-40 They answered him, "Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left." Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" They said to him, "We can." Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared." [38-40] Can you drink the cup . . . I am baptized?: the metaphor of drinking the cup is used in the Old Testament to refer to acceptance of the destiny assigned by God; see the note on Ps 11, 6. In Jesus' case, this involves divine judgment on sin that Jesus the innocent one is to expiate on behalf of the guilty (Mark 14:24; Isaiah 53:5). His baptism is to be his crucifixion and death for the salvation of the human race; cf Luke 12:50. The request of James and John for a share in the glory (Mark 10:35-37) must of necessity involve a share in Jesus' sufferings, the endurance of tribulation and suffering for the gospel (Mark 10:39). The authority of assigning places of honor in the kingdom is reserved to God (Mark 10:40). http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/mark/mark10.htm#foot5 Emmaus |

"Who specifically closed the canon of scripture?I always thought that it was the Catholic Church, but I could be way off here. What specific church fathers are you referring to? What are their names?" I think you are right on the mark. most of the Church Fathers were Bishops of the Church. Here is a link to their names and writings. http://www.ccel.org/fathers2/ Emmaus |

mikec, Like all sinners, homosexuals are called to conversion. "2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,( Cf. Gen 191-29; Rom 124-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10) tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. 2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition. 2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s2c2a6.htm#2357 Emmaus |

"This is simply a misuse of Scripture. The sacraments have no derived power. It sounds good, but the Bible never hints at this. And I could easily give other examples." Steve, This you your opinion. The majority of Christians in the world, Catholic and Eastern Orthodox, have a diametrically opposed posiiton and interpretation of Scripture. You have no idea how offensive it is to Catholics to hear the presumtive judgement that they are not Christians. It is the height of arrogance on the part of those who make that judgement which should be left to God alone. What Dalcent may not be aware of is that the same judgement is often also made by the same people about other Protestant Christians who do not share their exact understanding of how ( a verbal profession of faith vs a verbal and physical, i.e scramental profession, of faith in Christ)one is justified rather than by Whom one is justified.
