Theresa, Does God heal us from the wound of sin which leads to death which we all suffer? Indeed He does, but not by healing us physically, nor by curing us natirally, but rather supernaturaly. Emmaus |

3484 | What is the Priesthood of Believers? | 1 Pet 2:9 | Emmaus | 63195 | ||
Lionstrong, Here are two references, one from St Augustine(4th century) and the other from St. Thomas Aquinas (12th century) that illustrate the Catholic teaching on the priestly charater imparted to the faithful who are in Christ. This is not some new catholic teaching dreamed up only at the Second Vatican Council in the 1960's. The dispute at the time of the Reformation was over the Protestants' rejection of the sacramental or ministerial priesthood. "So, too, "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. " As to what they say about nothing being able to rise again but what falls, whence they conclude that resurrection pertains to bodies only, and not to souls, because bodies fall, why do they make nothing of the words, "Ye that fear the Lord, wait for His mercy; and go not aside lest ye fall;" and" To his own Master he stands or falls;" and "He that thinketh he standeth, let him take heed lest he fall?" For I fancy this fall that we are to take heed against is a fall of the soul, not of the body. If, then, rising again belongs to things that fall, and souls fall, it must be owned that souls also rise again. To the words, "In them the second death hath no power," are added the words, "but they shall be priests of God and Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years;" and this refers not to the bishops alone, and presbyters, who are now specially called priests in the Church; but as we call all believers Christians on account of the mystical chrism, so we call all priests because they are members of the one Priest. Of them the Apostle Peter says, "A holy people, a royal priesthood." Certainly he implied, though in a passing and incidental way, that Christ is God, saying priests of God and Christ, that is, of the Father and the Son, though it was in His servant-form and as Son of man that Christ was made a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. But this we have already explained more than once." The City of God Book 20, section 10. St. Augustine of Hippo "I answer that, As has been made clear above (1), a character is properly a kind of seal, whereby something is marked, as being ordained to some particular end: thus a coin is marked for use in exchange of goods, and soldiers are marked with a character as being deputed to military service. Now the faithful are deputed to a twofold end. First and principally to the enjoyment of glory. And for this purpose they are marked with the seal of grace according to Ezech. 9:4: "Mark Thou upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and mourn"; and Apoc. 7:3: "Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we sign the servants of our God in their foreheads." Secondly, each of the faithful is deputed to receive, or to bestow on others, things pertaining to the worship of God. And this, properly speaking, is the purpose of the sacramental character. Now the whole rite of the Christian religion is derived from Christ's priesthood. Consequently, it is clear that the sacramental character is specially the character of Christ, to Whose character the faithful are likened by reason of the sacramental characters, which are nothing else than certain participations of Christ's Priesthood, flowing from Christ Himself." The Summa Theologica Article 3, question 63 by St. Thomas Aquinas, refering to the special character imparted to the faithful when they are baptised into Christ. Emmaus |

3487 | How can God let us go through pain? | 1 Pet 2:24 | Emmaus | 43088 | ||
heisthe1, How can we conform ourselves to Christ and take up our cross daily to follow Him without suffering? "Get the behind me Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God, does but as men do.... Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. For whoever looses his life will save it and whoever wishes to save his life will loose it." Matt 16:23-24. No cheap grace! Free but not cheap.If we want to follow Him into glory we must follow Him into suffering and death. Emmaus |

3488 | How can God let us go through pain? | 1 Pet 2:24 | Emmaus | 43303 | ||
heisthe1, You may not believe in "the suffering doctrine" but Jesus did. It is his doctrine. St Paul speaks of your position here: "For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart." Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Cor 1:18-25 And Jesus in addition to telling us we must take up up our cross daily and follow him also says: "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, "A servant is not greater than his master." If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all this they will do to you on my account, because they do not know him who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. It is to fulfil the word that is written in their law, "They hated me without a cause." But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me; and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning. I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, "Where are you going?" But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. John 15:18-16:6. Emmaus |

3490 | Is there a way out of hell? | 1 Pet 3:1 | Emmaus | 99386 | ||
StillLearning, Your "No" answer is correct when referring to hell as the place of final torment for the damned. Your friend is referring to 1 Peter 3:18-19, but the word there translated as "hell" actually in Greek refers to Hades or Sheol in Hebrew which is the abode of all the dead, both the rightoeus and the unrighteous before Christ. They existed in separate sections of that place as seen in the story of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16. Jesus released the righteous from their place in Hades which section is also referred to as "the Boosom of Abraham" but not those in the other section where the rich man found himself. So in this specific instance you can tell your co-teacher she is half right in this case but not after Jesus had relaesed the righteous. From then on no one gets out because the righteous after the death and resurrection go to heaven and the unrighteous to hell. The problem is one of trnaslation from Greek and Hebrew to English. It would be better translated the "abode of the dead" rather than "hell" in this case. "Jesus 'descended into the lower parts of the earth. He who descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens.'[Eph 4:9-10 .] The Apostles' Creed confesses in the same article Christ's descent into hell and his Resurrection from the dead on the third day, because in his Passover it was precisely out of the depths of death that he made life spring forth: Christ, that Morning Star, who came back from the dead, and shed his peaceful light on all mankind, your Son who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.[Roman Missal, Easter Vigil 18, Exsultet.]" "The frequent New Testament affirmations that Jesus was 'raised from the dead' presuppose that the crucified one sojourned in the realm of the dead prior to his resurrection.[Acts 3:15 ; Rom 8:11 ; 1 Cor 15:20 ; cf. Heb 13:20 .] This was the first meaning given in the apostolic preaching to Christ's descent into hell: that Jesus, like all men, experienced death and in his soul joined the others in the realm of the dead. But he descended there as Saviour, proclaiming the Good News to the spirits imprisoned there.[Cf. 1 Pet 3:18-19 .]" "Scripture calls the abode of the dead, to which the dead Christ went down, 'hell' - Sheol in Hebrew or Hades in Greek - because those who are there are deprived of the vision of God.[Cf. Phil 2:10 ; Acts 2:24 ; Rev 1:18; Eph 4:9 ; Ps 6:6 ; Ps 88:11-13 .] Such is the case for all the dead, whether evil or righteous, while they await the Redeemer: which does not mean that their lot is identical, as Jesus shows through the parable of the poor man Lazarus who was received into 'Abraham's bosom':[Cf. Ps 89:49 ; 1 Sam 28:19 ; Ezek 32:17-32 ; Lk 16:22-26 .] 'It is precisely these holy souls, who awaited their Saviour in Abraham's bosom, whom Christ the Lord delivered when he descended into hell.'[Roman Catechism 1, 6, 3.] Jesus did not descend into hell to deliver the damned, nor to destroy the hell of damnation, but to free the just who had gone before him.[Cf. Council of Rome (745): DS 587; Benedict XII, Cum dudum (1341): DS 1011; Clement VI, Super quibusdam (1351): DS 1077; Council of Toledo IV (625): DS 485; Mt 27:52-53.]" "'The gospel was preached even to the dead.'[1 Pet 4:6 .] The descent into hell brings the Gospel message of salvation to complete fulfilment. This is the last phase of Jesus' messianic mission, a phase which is condensed in time but vast in its real significance: the spread of Christ's redemptive work to all men of all times and all places, for all who are saved have been made sharers in the redemption."

StillLearning, I taught 7th graders religious education for more than a few years. They are very challenging but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience because they asked sincere questions and for the most part took seriously the answers given. At that age they are very concerned and interested in questions about justice and fairness once you get past their adolecent veneer. Emmaus |

Are you sure you are not thing of 1 Peter 3:1-7? 1 Pet 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, 1 Pet 3:2 as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior. 1 Pet 3:3 Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; 1 Pet 3:4 but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. 1 Pet 3:5 For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands; 1 Pet 3:6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear. 1 Pet 3:7 You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. |

3493 | Is submission of wives for today? | 1 Pet 3:1 | Emmaus | 124486 | ||
Joy, Is submission for anyone today? Perhaps it would be easier for women to submit to their husbands if their husband were more willing to submit to the Lord. Or maybe not. We are a stiff necked people. What do you think of the passage below. It is not mine but has some good content though written about seventyfive years ago. "This precept the Apostle laid down when he said: "Husbands, love your wives as Christ also loved the Church," that Church which of a truth He embraced with a boundless love not for the sake of His own advantage, but seeking only the good of His Spouse. The love, then, of which We are speaking is not that based on the passing lust of the moment nor does it consist in pleasing words only, but in the deep attachment of the heart which is expressed in action, since love is proved by deeds. This outward expression of love in the home demands not only mutual help but must go further; must have as its primary purpose that man and wife help each other day by day in forming and perfecting themselves in the interior life, so that through their partnership in life they may advance ever more and more in virtue, and above all that they may grow in true love toward God and their neighbor, on which indeed "dependeth the whole Law and the Prophets." For all men of every condition, in whatever honorable walk of life they may be, can and ought to imitate that most perfect example of holiness placed before man by God, namely Christ Our Lord, and by God's grace to arrive at the summit of perfection, as is proved by the example set us of many saints. ... Domestic society being confirmed, therefore, by this bond of love, there should flourish in it that "order of love," as St. Augustine calls it. This order includes both the primacy of the husband with regard to the wife and children, the ready subjection of the wife and her willing obedience, which the Apostle commends in these words: "Let women be subject to their husbands as to the Lord, because the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ is the head of the Church." [29] This subjection, however, does not deny or take away the liberty which fully belongs to the woman both in view of her dignity as a human person, and in view of her most noble office as wife and mother and companion; nor does it bid her obey her husband's every request if not in harmony with right reason or with the dignity due to wife; nor, in fine, does it imply that the wife should be put on a level with those persons who in law are called minors, to whom it is customary to not allow free exercise of their rights on account of their lack of mature judgment, or of their ignorance of human affairs. But it forbids that exaggerated liberty which cares not for the good of the family; it forbids that in this body which is the family, the heart be separated from the head to the great detriment of the whole body and the proximate danger of ruin. For if the man is the head, the woman is the heart, and as he occupies the chief place in ruling, so she may and ought to claim for herself the chief place in love. Again, this subjection of wife to husband in its degree and manner may vary according to the different conditions of persons, place and time. In fact, if the husband neglect his duty, it falls to the wife to take his place in directing the family. But the structure of the family and its fundamental law, established and confirmed by God, must always and everywhere be maintained intact . ...We have already mentioned, speaking of this order to be maintained between man and wife, teaches: "The man is the ruler of the family, and the head of the woman; but because she is flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone, let her be subject and obedient to the man, not as a servant but as a companion, so that nothing be lacking of honor or of dignity in the obedience which she pays. Let divine charity be the constant guide of their mutual relations, both in him who rules and in her who obeys, since each bears the image, the one of Christ, the other of the Church." These, then, are the elements which compose the blessing of conjugal faith: unity, chastity, charity, honorable noble obedience, which are at the same time an enumeration of the benefits which are bestowed on husband and wife in their married state, benefits by which the peace, the dignity and the happiness of matrimony are securely preserved and fostered. Wherefore it is not surprising that this conjugal faith has always been counted amongst the most priceless and special blessings of matrimony." Emmaus |

Joy, Quite a thread here. A little off the main theme but very relevant is this book. The author was quite an accomplished professional archivist of France. I have read her and thing you may find her interesting. "Women in the Days of the Cathedrals By: Regine Pernoud Description: Regine Pernoud has addressed herself to the study of many questions about the status of women in the Middle Ages and presents her surprising answers in this captivating work. Here one learns that the most ancient treatise on education in France was written by a woman; and medicine was practiced regularly by women in the thirteenth century; that in the twelfth century the Order of Fontevraud gathered both monks and religious sisters under the authority of an abbess. This is a systematic study that provides a multitude of concrete examples. No aspect of feminine activity in the course of the medieval periods is neglected: administration of property, professions and commerce, the intellectual life, even politics; writers, educators, sovereigns, and those who enlivened the royal courts. Moreover, the author draws from the history of law and the history of events and social customs to sketch something never before attempted, an outline of the evolution of the power of women. This is a classic work without reference to which any inquiry into the questions addressed here must remain incomplete." Emmaus |

3499 | Are Christian apologetics unbiblical? | 1 Pet 3:15 | Emmaus | 57677 | ||
Kalos, The early Church Fathers used and were rather skilled at apologetics. All you have to do to confirm that is read some of their writings starting with Justin Martyr's "First Apology". On the other hand, apologetics has its limits unless grace is at work. So good judgement must be used in determining whether one is generating more heat than light and just wasting time and breath. There is a difference between a conversation and an endless argument. The older I get the less I like the the argument and the more I enjoy the conversation. I leave the rest to the Holy Spirit. The model I try, with limited success on my part, to follow is from 1 Peter 3:15. "...always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence..." Emmaus |
