3701 | Put in Your [sic] sickle and reap? | Rev 14:15 | Emmaus | 110187 | ||
Ray, "The reaping of the harvest symbolizes the gathering of the elect in the final judgment, while the reaping and treading of the grapes symbolizes the doom of the ungodly (cf Joel 3:12-13; Isaiah 63:1-6) that will come in Rev 19:11-21." Footnote from the NAB Bible on Rev 14:14-20. See also the similar description of Christ in other places as one "looking like the Son of Man", especially Rev 1:7 and Daniel 7:13 and Acts 7:56.

Ray, You give away your position by the "One" in your question on Is 63:1. But this one is easy because it is a dramatic dialogue between God and the prophet and God explains that "it is I." Emmaus |

Ray, I thought I indicated in my previous post that it sa is God, Yaweh to Isaiah, but a foreshadowing of Christ as seen in Rev 19:13. The Word of God is the revelation of the Father, John 1:1, 14; 1 John 2:14. Emmaus |

Momapbs, Those who bow down in liturgical celebrations are bowing down to the Lord. It may seem strange to those who are from a non liturgcal tradition, but it is perfectly natural to those who worship the Lord in a liturgical manner. On the other hand Evangelical "altar calls" may make those who worship liturgically somewhat uncomfortable. One might ask what "altar" are they being called to, especially in a Church that does not believe in sacrificial worship and may not even have an altar? The answer of course for both Evangelical and liturgical worshipers is the heavenly altar before the throne of God referred to in Hebrews 9:11-30 and Rev 4 and 5 and 6:9 and 8:1-4 and Rev 11:1. It is no accident that John had his vison of liturgical worship in heaven on the Lord's Day. The pattern of Liturgical worship is closely related to what John describes in Revelation. Liturgical worship is done in form that expresses the prayer that God's "will (including worship) be done on earth as it is in heaven." The opening prayer to the old latin Mass was "I will go to the altar of God," from Psalm 43:4" And we later pray, "Lift up your hearts! We lift them up to the Lord!" That is, like John in Revelation, we go to the altar of God in heaven and lift up our hearts to God in heaven and make ourselves present to the one eternal sacrifice of Jesus in heaven, sometimes on our knees and sometimes with a profound bow and sometimes standing. I presume that the person responding to an "altar call" in an Evangelical church is being called to do the same after he has given his life to Christ, although it may not look the same outwardly.

PastorGlenn, It is situations like this in the filed of bioetthics that argue strongly for the need of an authoritative teaching voice for the Church. These matters are not addressed in scripture, but scripture can give the proper frame of reference for determining the morality of various actions. I know that the Catholic Church has strong formal opinions and teachings in this area. There are also Evangelicals making their positions known, but they have no binding authority on members of the various Evangelical churches. Emmaus |

3707 | one world government (Revel.)? | Rev 17:18 | Emmaus | 99401 | ||
Marina, The opinions of Ezekiel, Lastday and Candy Lee notwithstanding, the Pope / Vatican has not been successful even getting the EU to include a mention of Europe's Christian history and heritage into the Constitution they are drafting. It seems very unlikely that the Pope, this one or the next, or the Vatican will be leading a One World Government anytime soon. If the EU does become a One World Government it won't be following the Pope. Without the boogey man of the Pope these people might have to consider the other 95 percent of the Bible and what it has to say about living the Christian life today in their own lives. Emmaus |

3709 | What consitutes a "righteous act?" | Rev 19:8 | Emmaus | 124011 | ||
Mommapbs, We are righteous only in Jesus and only acts doen in Him are righteous acts. His obedience was the righteous act that makes us righteous in Him. "615 "For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous." (Rom 5:19) By his obedience unto death, Jesus accomplished the substitution of the suffering Servant, who "makes himself an offering for sin", when "he bore the sin of many", and who "shall make many to be accounted righteous", for "he shall bear their iniquities".(Isa 53:10-12) Jesus atoned for our faults and made satisfaction for our sins to the Father." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a4p2.htm#615 "2025 We can have merit in God's sight only because of God's free plan to associate man with the work of his grace. Merit is to be ascribed in the first place to the grace of God, and secondly to man's collaboration. Man's merit is due to God. " http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c3a2.htm#202 Emmaus |

TimApend, Yes and more. Read Revelation 7:3-17. It tells you that those were marked with the seal of were marked with "the seal of the living God." They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. Those marked with the sign of the beast follow him wherever he goes, including into the pit. See also Rev 6:9-11. And see Rev 13:15-17 and Deuteronomy 13:2-4. Emmaus |

FytRobert, "According to the Bible, a wicked and sinful man will be punished in hell after death.But his physical body will decay and return to earth over a period of time, then what will go to hell for punishment?" What do death and the sea and Hades give up in Rev 20:13 if not the bodies of the dead to be united with their spirits just as the bodies of the just are resurrected to be rejoined to their spirits or sould. The difference is where the just and the unjust then go for all eternity. Maybe I am missing something in your question. I seem to be seeing something in this passage that you are not seeing.

The Church is the New Jerusalem. When we become members of the Church, we become citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem. Through our worship, prayers, and works in Christ we participate in the heavenly life. Similarly we refer to "Church" simultaneously as the structure and the people who are in the structure. So it is with the Bride, the Church, the New Jerusalem Phil 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; Emmaus |

" The Church is the Bride of Christ 796 The unity of Christ and the Church, head and members of one Body, also implies the distinction of the two within a personal relationship. This aspect is often expressed by the image of bridegroom and bride. The theme of Christ as Bridegroom of the Church was prepared for by the prophets and announced by John the Baptist.234 The Lord referred to himself as the "bridegroom."235 The Apostle speaks of the whole Church and of each of the faithful, members of his Body, as a bride "betrothed" to Christ the Lord so as to become but one spirit with him.236 The Church is the spotless bride of the spotless Lamb.237 "Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her."238 He has joined her with himself in an everlasting covenant and never stops caring for her as for his own body:239 This is the whole Christ, head and body, one formed from many . . . whether the head or members speak, it is Christ who speaks. He speaks in his role as the head (ex persona capitis) and in his role as body (ex persona corporis). What does this mean? "The two will become one flesh. This is a great mystery, and I am applying it to Christ and the Church."240 And the Lord himself says in the Gospel: "So they are no longer two, but one flesh."241 They are, in fact, two different persons, yet they are one in the conjugal union, . . . as head, he calls himself the bridegroom, as body, he calls himself "bride."242 234 Jn 3:29. 235 Mk 2:19. 236 Cf. Mt 22:1-14; 25:1-13; 1 Cor 6:15-17; 2 Cor 11:2. 237 Cf. Rev 22:17; Eph 1:4; 5:27. 238 Eph 5:25-26. 239 Cf.

"756 "Often, too, the Church is called the building of God. The Lord compared himself to the stone which the builders rejected, but which was made into the corner-stone. On this foundation the Church is built by the apostles and from it the Church receives solidity and unity. This edifice has many names to describe it: the house of God in which his family dwells; the household of God in the Spirit; the dwelling-place of God among men; and, especially, the holy temple. This temple, symbolized in places of worship built out of stone, is praised by the Fathers and, not without reason, is compared in the liturgy to the Holy City, the New Jerusalem. As living stones we here on earth are built into it. It is this holy city that is seen by John as it comes down out of heaven from God when the world is made anew, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.(148 LG 6; Cf. 1 Cor 3:9; Mt 21:42 and parallels; Acts 4:11; 1 Pet 2:7; Ps 118:22; 1 Cor 3:11; 1 Tim 3:15; Eph 2:19-22; Rev 21:3; 1 Pet 2:5; Rev 21:1-2)." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p123a9p1.htm#756 The Catechism Emmaus |

3717 | Whose Name is on #12 | Rev 21:14 | Emmaus | 126312 | ||
Paul is an Apostle in that he is "one who is sent" by Jesus, who called him in an unusual and special way on the road to Damascus. But he did not meet the definition given in Acts 1:21-26, which says in verse 24 that the Lord would show which one He had chosen. Acts 1:21 "Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us-- Acts 1:22 beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us--one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection." Acts 1:23 So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias. Acts 1:24 And they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen Acts 1:25 to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." Acts 1:26 And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles. See also Peters authority in Matth 18:19 Matt 16:19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." Paul is not a lesser Apostle, he simply was not on who had been with Jesus from the beginning of his ministry and so one who could give an eye witness account of what he had "seen and heard." Look for Matthias' name on the stone. Paul will not be upset. He understands. Emmaus |
