3361 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | Emmaus | 94434 | ||
gbennett, A creed is nothing more than saying what you believe. Do you perceive being asked what you believe as a prelude to an attack? It is good to know where someone is coming from. Is that too much to ask? I am often a lone voice for the positions I take on this forum. That does not mean I want to attack you or anyone else, nor does everyone else attack me. But most of us here at least are open and clear about what perspective we are are coming from and where we stand in our major beliefs and what we hold as sources of authority. And most if not all here hold Scripture to authoritative and most, myself being an exception, hold it to be the sole authority. Most people are proud or at least willing to state what they believe is the truth and why. How about you? Emmaus |

Joe, The Christian faith is not a "religion of the book. Christianity is the religion of the "Word" of God, "not a written or mute word, but incarnate and living." The Holy Spirit working in and through the Body of Christ, the Church, inspired the writers of Sacred Scripture and led the Church to recognize what was inspired and what was not. The Church and Scripture are intricatley bond up in and to one another. The Church, the People of God, Old Testanment and New, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit brought forth the Sacred Scripture and recognizes her own. Emmaus |

3366 | Timothy Alone? | 2 Tim 4:5 | Emmaus | 62972 | ||
Lionstrong, It would appear from the context of the whole epistle that the primary literal interpretation is one of a personal exhortation to Timothy to persevere in his role as a pastor, teacher and evangelist. But that does not mean there is no appcation to the individual Christian, who in the home is the primary evangelist of children and on the job may evangelise by actions, if not with words, but sometimes in both ways. We all are called to be priests,prophets and kings by our baptism, but we may exercise those roles in different settings and with different particular gifts. Emmaus |

3367 | Are not elders shepherds, or overseers? | 2 Tim 4:5 | Emmaus | 87006 | ||
gratefullydead, Catholics believe Holy Orders(ordained bishops, priests and deacons), as distinguished from the preisthood of the people received in the sacrament of Baptism. The line of bishops succeeding one another trhoughout Church history is called the Apostolic Succession. For scriptural references see: Acts 20:28; Luke 22:19; Acts 6:6; Acts 13:3;Acts 14:22; 1Tim 4:14; 2 Tim 1:6; Titus 1:5. Emmaus |

Charles, Some, including me, hold that Titus 3:5 is basically the same as John 3:5 and refers to Baptism. Emmaus |

Dalcent and others, May I suggest that this and other threads are getting far afield from the purpose of this Forum, which is the study of the Bible, not Church history. We are not going to solve all the problems and division of the past 500 years of Christianity here. And we certainly should not expect to be convincing others of our poisition, nor should we be attacking one another. I find the best practice to be stating one's position and understanding and why and letting that satnd on its own merits, then leaving it at that. This whole argument began due the intemperate remarks of a person who is no longer posting. The blaze is still burning long after he was consumed by his handiwork. Perhaps we can get back to where we were before this started before we and the Forum meet the same fate. Emmaus |

3372 | Meaning and significant of pot Heb.9:4 | Hebrews | Emmaus | 88242 | ||
bunmi, "(the golden pot that had manna,Aaron's rod that budded and the table(ts) of the covenaht...") These were the contents of the Ark of the Covenant (Ex 3:1-5; 25:10-16; 16:33; Num 17:8-10; Deut 10:3-5), which was lost about the time of the Babylonian Exile and never recovered. Hebrews 9 is a contrast between the Heavenly Liturgy and its earthly shadow the Temple Liturgy which continued until the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. The heavenly Liturgy is still real with Jesus as our eternal High Priest always interceding for us and offering his sacrifice to the Father. If you read Acts you will see that after the Resurrection and Ascension the Apostles and early Jewish Christian still participated in the Temple activities. Emmaus |

3373 | Meaning and significant of pot Heb.9:4 | Hebrews | Emmaus | 88243 | ||
We are now the Ark of the New Covenant, with the law written on our hearts, anointed by baptism in Christ as priest (Aaron's rod) prophet and king, and the manna of Holy Communion. Hebrews 8:10 See John 6 and Rev 2:17 |

gracefull, Everthing is in the eternal present to God who is not subject to time. Jesus is the sacrifice who sits forever in the presence of the Father, so that his sacrifice , which is Himself, is ever in the presence of the Father, as the Lamb in Revelation 5. I am sorry if my phrasing has disturbed you, but the sacrifice of Jesus is still efficaious even today as it was efficaious for the saints of the Old Testament. It is the one sacrifice. If Revelation 4 and 5 does not depict a heavenly Liturgy with all the elements found in shadow in the earthly Temple, I don't know how else to describe it. Emmauws |

graceful, "In Revelation 4 and 5 I do not see the repeated application of the blood on the alter. Purhaps you could direct me to a verse or verses which you derive this conclusion. There is a repeated worship of the Lamb, but the application of the sin offering according to Hebrews 10 was only once..for all.." The altar represents God when the High Priest appl;ied the blood to it. So the Blood of Christ is offered once and eternally to the Father. I do not see a "repeated application of the blood to the altar." I only see a repaeted application of its merits to our sinful selves while we unlike God are bound in time. I also assume you still worship the Lord who is the Lamb of God. This is ongoing I presume eternally for the saved. Don't you? I do not believe that always or ongoing is the same as "repeated" in the pejorative sense that you imply, as if you are implying that I believe the one sacrifice of Christ is insufficient, which I do not beleieve. I beleieve it is once for all but eternal in significance and application. No, I do not believe that Christ is sacrificed over and over again. But we do "plead the blood" over and over again for the forgiveness of our sins and for our salvation. I hope that puts your mind at rest. Emmaus |

Joe, I must confess your question (How was Christ's sacrifice "made present" to those who lived before the Incarnation?)is one I have never encountered before, so I am reluctant to give any "authoritative" answer. But since the Eucharist is a sacrament of faith, I would suspect that the faith of the Old Testament saints comes into play in any answer. What do you think? Emmaus |
||||||
3377 | Offering? Or having offered... | Hebrews | Emmaus | 88277 | ||
Joe, "Well, I hold to a different sacramentology than you do, of course, so I can associate the OT sacrificial system (particularly the Passover feast) with the Lord's Table in the NT. But I would agree that the faith of both OT saints and NT saints is definitely a given." Our sacramentology may be different, but not so different that I can not also associate the Passover feast with the Lord's table. It is different to the extent that I do not associate them as being equal in efficacy, since the Passover feast was a "making present" the Passover in Egypt and the "Lord's Table" " makes present" the fulfillment of what the Passover in Egypt foreshadowed, which is "Christ our Passover." This is an interesting topic which we have touched on before. In a sense the Eucharist is still a veiled presence and a "pledge of the glory to come" in its fullness only with the Second Coming and the resurrection of our bodies. It is as a sacrament of faith, "the substance of things hoped for" so to speak. But I may be getting in over my head here. Emmaus |

3379 | Does God always speak to you? | Heb 1:2 | Emmaus | 31314 | ||
Nina Marie, God speaks to us always and in various ways. But sometimes we are hard of hearing. In fact some times we are deaf, bumb and blind to his efforts to reach us either due to our own fault or other distractions. Of course my wife says the same thing about me. :-). It is difficult sometimes and requires our undivided attention to hear and see what God is saying to us even in Scripture, which we soemtimes skim over so fast due to familiaity that we miss the message. It our reception not God's tranmission that need repair work through attentive prayer and recourse to the Holy Spirit. That is one of the reasons we are called to fasting and prayer even as Jesu gave us the perfect example. Emmaus |
