BWH, I have not seen the bible listed in bibliographies. Usually at the front of a book that cites a lot of Scripture there is a statement of which version or translation has been used for biblical references. This is usually on the same page as the publishing and copyright information. Authorship is not attributed. Emmaus |

Reighnskye, I try to focus on the New Covenant in the blood of Christ. Jesus fulfilled the older covenants. I guess they could be thought of as telescoped into the New Covenant, but I am no expert to be sure. I don't know if the Apocryha sheds any light on the subject and various parties define "Apocrypha" differently. Emmaus |

305 | only city animals fasted 3 days | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 136194 | ||
greenhornet, You are perhaps think of the fast in the city of Nineveh after Jonah pronounced God's judgement on the city. See Jonah 3. "So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three days' walk. Then Jonah began to go through the city one day's walk; and he cried out and said, "Yet forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown." Then the people of Nineveh believed in God; and they called a fast and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least of them. When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, laid aside his robe from him, covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes. He issued a proclamation and it said, "In Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let man, beast, herd, or flock taste a thing. Do not let them eat or drink water. "But both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth; and let men call on God earnestly that each may turn from his wicked way and from the violence which is in his hands. "Who knows, God may turn and relent and withdraw His burning anger so that we will not perish." When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it." Jonah 3:3-10 Emmaus |

306 | What are Jesus' grandchildrens names? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 136476 | ||
The Jesus of Ecclesiasticus is not Jesus of Nazareth but the author of Ecclesiasticus. Sirach also known as the Book of Ecclesiasticus Introduction The Book of Sirach derives its name from the author, Jesus, son of Eleazar, son of Sirach (Sirach 50:27). Its earliest title seems to have been "Wisdom of the Son of Sirach." The designation "Liber Ecclesiasticus," meaning "Church Book," appended to some Greek and Latin manuscripts was due to the extensive use which the church made of this book in presenting moral teaching to catechumens and to the faithful. The author, a sage who lived in Jerusalem, was thoroughly imbued with love for the law, the priesthood, the temple, and divine worship. As a wise and experienced observer of life he addressed himself to his contemporaries with the motive of helping them to maintain religious faith and integrity through study of the holy books, and through tradition. The book contains numerous maxims formulated with care, grouped by affinity, and dealing with a variety of subjects such as the individual, the family, and the community in their relations with one another and with God. It treats of friendship, education, poverty and wealth, the law, religious worship, and many other matters which reflect the religious and social customs of the time. Written in Hebrew between 200 and 175 B.C., the text was translated into Greek sometime after 132 B.C. by the author's grandson, who also wrote a Foreword which contains information about the book, the author, and the translator himself. Until the close of the nineteenth century Sirach was known only in translations, of which this Greek rendering was the most important. From it the Latin version was made. Between 1896 and 1900, again in 1931, and several times since 1956, manuscripts were discovered containing in all about two thirds of the Hebrew text, which agrees substantially with the Greek. One such text, from Masada, is pre-Christian in date. Though not included in the Hebrew Bible after the first century A.D., nor accepted by Protestants, the Book of Sirach has always been recognized by the Catholic Church as divinely inspired and canonical. The Foreword, though not inspired, is placed in the Bible because of its antiquity and importance. The contents of Sirach are of a discursive nature, not easily divided into separate parts. Sir 1-43 deal largely with moral instruction; Sirach 44:1-50:24 contain a eulogy of the heroes of Israel and some of the patriarchs. There are two appendices in which the author expresses his gratitude to God, and appeals to the unlearned to acquire true wisdom. The Church uses the Book of Sirach extensively in her liturgy. http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/sirach/intro.htm |

308 | Pro-Life? Pro-Birth? Which? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 137319 | ||
justme, Good to see you back again. On your question. I think to a certain extent the issues raised by the nun is a red herring. The Church is probably more active than most government in leading the way in providing services to the poor around the world. Could more be done? More can always be done and we must have follow up on pro life action. I would like to know who the nun was. Often the clergy or nuns who appear on these programs are dissenters who are actually "pro-choice" and couch their complaints in the manner you have described. This may or may not be the case with the particular nun you saw, but if it was I would not be surprised. Emmaus |

The Catholic Church includes the Old Testament books found in the Septuagint, or the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scripture that was in use among the Greek speaking Jewish disaphora at the time of Jesus and the Apostles. The books not found in current Protestant Bibles are: Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), Wisdom of Solomon, Tobit, Judith, Baruch, 1 Macabees, 2 Macabees and some additional veses in the Greek versions of Ester and Daniel. Prostestants after the Reformation gradually adopted the Hebrew Old Tetsament cannon of established by the Jews of Palestine around 190 A.D. Emmaus |

313 | What is sin? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 138483 | ||
Sin is putting ourselves and our will before God and His will. It is idolatry in varying forms, usually some form of self-worship, however subtle. Sin is an abuse of the freedom that God gives to created persons so that they are capable of loving Him and loving one another. See the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis. We want to be God instead of being God's obedient creatures. |

320 | Where in Bible does it say no meat on Fr | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 144171 | ||
Doc, It is simply a spiritual discipline practiced by the Catholic Family. It is not a doctrine or dogma and the nature of the Lenten fast and asbtenance has changed over the years. Catholics are slackers compared to the Eastern Orthodox who abstain from all meat and dairy products and eggs for the whole period of Lent. Catholcs used to do that stricter discipline also back in the Middle Ages. I am not sure when things slackened off for us. Certain monastic orders in the Catholic Church still observe theses fasts and abstenances. But again that is a discipline of the particular order, not a doctrine. It is a sacrifice and a discipline of the passions and carnal appetites to abstain for a time from good things to focus on the higher goods. "Q: Can you offer any biblical justification for the Catholic Church's former teaching that it's sinful to eat meat on Fridays? A: Yes, but, if you recognize the fact that Christ's Church is divinely authorized to teach, sanctify, and govern, there should be no need to "prove" it with biblical examples. If you don't recognize that, consider the following biblical facts. Jesus guaranteed that when his Church teaches it teaches with his authority and that anyone rejecting his Church's teachings rejects him (Luke 10:16). This authority extends to Church discipline as well as doctrine. When the Church imposes a discipline, its members are bound to obey it, unless they are dispensed for a proportionate reason. This exercise of authority is seen in Acts 15, where the Church, in its first major council, bound all Christians to the discipline of abstaining from meat that had been sacrificed to idols or that had come from strangled animals (19-29). When the Church promulgated its teaching about abstaining from meat (Acts 15:28-29), no Christian was free to disregard the discipline without committing sin. But since Paul explained that meat in itself is not unclean and the eating of meat is not inherently sinful (Rom. 14:1-23, 1 Cor. 8:1-13, 10:23-32), a Christian who violated the apostolic teaching in Acts 15 sinned not because the eating of meat was wrong but because he disobeyed a commandment of the Church. When the Catholic Church imposes a discipline such as not eating meat on Fridays, the same principle holds. Consider this parallel example. A mother tells her son not to eat the cookies she just baked because it's close to dinner time and eating the cookies will spoil his appetite. The son ignores his mother's wishes and, when she's not looking, sneaks a few cookies. His sin is not the eating of cookies (a morally-neutral act in itself), but of disobedience. Finally, we should mention why Friday abstinence was imposed. The Church recognizes that, since meat is a chief part of most meals served in most places, and since meat is usually the most valued or expensive part of a meal, abstinence from meat on Fridays is a good way for Christians to unite themselves more closely to the sufferings of their Lord (Rom. 8:16-17, 1 Pet. 2:21) by denying themselves something they enjoy. Abstinence from meat is a sacrifice which unites them in penance and strengthens the solidarity of the Church through mild suffering. It's also a good form of mortification, which disciplines the soul and strengthens its resistance to concupiscence. Paul practiced and recommended mortification: "I drive my body and train it, for fear that after having preached to others, I myself should be disqualified" (1 Cor. 9:27)." http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/1992/9212qq.asp Here is another link to an article that addresses the abstenance from meat discipline in the second half of the article. http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/1992/9212qq.asp Emmaus |
