3161 | Levels of heaven and hell? | 2 Cor 12:2 | Emmaus | 83806 | ||
In scriptural cosmology, the first heaven is the earth's atmosphere, the second heaven (Genesis 1:14) is the stars in the vault above the earth and the third heaven is the place where God dwells. Hell is sheol or Gehenna, but the word often translated as hell was the Greek word hades which was the place of the dead, both the just and the unjust who were thought to be in different parts of hades. This can bee seen in the Parable of Lazarus and the rich man. Emmaus |

3166 | What is Paul's "thorn in the flesh?' | 2 Cor 12:7 | Emmaus | 67419 | ||
Blessed One1, There has been much speculation on what "the thorn in the flesh" was, but it is just that speculation since neither Paul nor anyone else in Scripture make it clear. Emmaus |

3167 | NEED HELP! friend of a friend struggling | 2 Cor 12:9 | Emmaus | 135801 | ||
This is the verse for which I believe you are looking. But it must be read in the full context of chapter 10 of 1 Corinthians to be properly understood. 1 Cor 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." |

3168 | what are the ot citations for Galations | Galatians | Emmaus | 117570 | ||
" [Eph 4:21-31] Paul supports his appeal for the gospel (Gal 4:9 1:6-9 ; 2:16) by a further argument from scripture (cf Gal 3:6-18) It involves the relationship of Abraham (Gal 3:6-16 ) to his wife, Sarah, the freeborn woman, and to Hagar, the slave woman, and the contrast between the sons born to each, Isaac, child of promise, and Ishmael, son of Hagar (Genesis 16; 21). Only through Isaac is the promise of God preserved. This allegory (Gal 4:24 )with its equation of the Sinai covenant and Mosaic law with slavery and of the promise of God with freedom, Paul uses only in light of previous arguments. His quotation of Genesis 21:10 at Gal 4:30 suggests on a scriptural basis that the Galatians should expel those who are troubling them (Gal 1:7). [Eph 4:25] Hagar represents Sinai . . . : some manuscripts have what seems a geographical note, "For Sinai is a mountain in Arabia." [Eph 4:27] Isaiah 54:1 in the Septuagint translation is applied to Sarah as the barren one (in Genesis 15) who ultimately becomes the mother not only of Isaac but now of numerous children, i.e., of all those who believe, the children of the promise (Gal 4:28). [Eph 4:21-31] Paul supports his appeal for the gospel (Gal 4:9 ;1:6-9 ;2:16 ; 3:2) by a further argument from scripture (cf Gal 3:6-18 ). It involves the relationship of Abraham (Gal 3:6-16 ) to his wife, Sarah, the freeborn woman, and to Hagar, the slave woman, and the contrast between the sons born to each, Isaac, child of promise, and Ishmael, son of Hagar (Genesis 16; 21).

[Eph 5:14] Lev 19:18 , emphasized by Jesus (Matthew 22:39 ; Luke 10:27 ); cf Romans 13:8-10 . [Eph 6:16] This rule: the principle in Gal 6:14 , 15 . The Israel of God: while the church may be meant (the phrase can be translated "to all who follow this rule, even the Israel of God"; cf Gal 6:10 ; 1 Cor 10:18 ), the reference may also be to God's ancient people, Israel; cf Psalm 125:5 ; 128:6 ." from the NAB footnotes |

3169 | what was primary argument? | Galatians | Emmaus | 123367 | ||
"In the book of Galatians Paul defended his apostleship, but what was his primary argument?" The freedom of the Gospel over the bondage Law which the Galatians would subject themselves to if they followed the Judaizers. "Oh, foolish Galatians!" Emmaus |

3170 | Galatian believers were tempted. | Galatians | Emmaus | 124821 | ||
"Modern-day Christians don't typically try to adhere to the mosaic law in an attempt to earn God's favor, but what kinds of "Christian" laws are often held up as necessary for meeting God's approval?" I am sure it may vary from place to place, but it seems often nowdays that no one is asked to do anything, even change their sinful ways, in general. I am just happy they don't ask male converts to undergo circumcision. Talk about overcoming objections!!! Think about making that sales pitch. It is kind of amazing to think that the Jews were pretty successful in making converts and some new Christians were even considering circumcision because of the Judaizers. How do you think we would do today with that condition? Now that would be an altar call that demanded a real sacrifice at the altar for a man. Emmaus |

3172 | do you have a bible reference? | Galatians | Emmaus | 164570 | ||
Debra, No biblical reference. It is a historical fact. The context of the letter to the Galatians also helps. Paul had converted the Gentile Galatians to the Gospel. If you read his letter to the Galatians you will see that the reason he was upset with then is that they were listening to Judeizer (Jewish Christians)who were telling them that they had to become Jews and be circumcised before they could become Christians. Here is a link you will find helpful. http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/galatians/intro.htm Emmaus |

3175 | St. Anselem Affirms "By Faith Alone" | Gal 2:16 | Emmaus | 131340 | ||
Doc, With all due respect, I think you may be doing a little isogesis here. There is nothing in what you quoted that I would disagree with. But the great leap to your conclsuion is something I would need more than faith alone in to make. Emmaus |

3176 | David, Bathsheba's child died on 7th day | Gal 2:21 | Emmaus | 75832 | ||
2 Samuel 12:18 The first child of David and Bathseba, conceived in adultery died on the seventh day before he could be circumcised into the Covenant. This is an interesting detail, but it seems to me that often the little details are significant and are there because they are important. Doe anyone else see this as significant? |

3177 | How did Christ become a curse? | Gal 3:10 | Emmaus | 125377 | ||
In Gal 3:10-18 How does Paul contrast the law and faith? See Galatians 4:21-31 What does Paul say is the destiny of the one who fails to keep 100 percent of the law? See Gal 3:10. How did Christ become a curse for us? Gal 3:10, 13; Hebrews 9:15. |

3178 | Babies in Heaven | Gal 3:28 | Emmaus | 90506 | ||
Raesson, Your question tends raises other questions also, such as infant baptism. Here is the teaching of my Church on the subject. Others differ. 1261. "As regards children who have died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say: 'Let the children come to me, do not hinder them,'[Mk 10 14 ; cf. 1 Tim 2:4 .] allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church's call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptism."

3179 | Us refers to God and Mary? | Gal 4:4 | Emmaus | 121702 | ||
Norm, I don't think anyone on this Forum has written more than me about Mary. But, Genesis 1:26-27 has nothing to do with her in any way. That was about Adam and Eve. And the "us" is strictly a reference to God, whether you interpret the "us" as a "Royal We" or as an implicit reference to the Trinity. Either way the "us " in Gen 1:26 does not refer to Mary and neither does the male and female in Gen 1:27 refer to Mary, but rather to Adam and Eve as is obvious from the following context in Gen 2.

3180 | Are Christmas and Easter pagan in origin | Gal 4:10 | Emmaus | 35118 | ||
farout, I think the use of the word Easter is peculiar only to certain languages, English being one. For example in Spanish Easter is called dia de Pascua or domingo de gloia, day of the pasch (passover) or Lord's day of glory. Christmas is called Feliz Navidad, happy (day of) birth or felices Pascua, happy passover. I am sure there are other examples in other languages. Emmaus |
