421 | Mathew 16:18--what is the "rock"? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 41829 | ||
Not what is the rock but who is the rock? Jesus said to Simon, "You are rock (Peter)." Is there any higher authority on the question? |

423 | Did Jesus' have 4 Brothers and 2 Sisters | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 41832 | ||
A relevant question here might be: with all those brothers and sisters why did Jesus have to give his mother into the care of the Apostle John, a non family member, at the cross? Could those brothers and sister have been cousins or kinsmen, since Hebrew has no word that distinguishes between the two types of relationship? | ||||||
424 | Mathew 16:18--what is the "rock"? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 41942 | ||
Tim, I have heard the Petros / Petra argument before, but I am surprised you have raised it since it has been debunked and discarded even by Protestant scripture scholars. It does not hold up in a varieties of ways, The most obvious of which is the original Aramaic where Kepha is doers not have the gender problem that the Greek translation has bvecause a man's name in Greek must be masculine while petra is feminine. It comes down to this: Peter equals Kepha equals Rock. to say that the rock is anything or anyone other tha Simon Peter is to do violence to the text. Your other references are all in completely different contexts. Just two well known Protestant commentary references on the matter that should be easy to check out.There are others. "In Aramaic "Peter" and Rock are the same word; in Greek (here), they are cognate terms that were used interchageably by this period. For the idea of a person as the foundation on which something is built, cf Isaiah 51:1-2; Ephesians 2:20 (the promise is made to Peter because Peter was the one who confessed Jesus v 16), Craig Keener The IVP (Intervarsity Press) Bible Background Commentary New Testament, 1993, page 90. "Although it is true that petros and petra can mean "stone' and "rock" respectively in earlier Greek, the distinction is largely confined to poetry. Moreover the underlying Aramaic is in this case unquestionable; and most probably kepha was used in both clause (you are kepha and on thia kepha), since the word was used both for a name and "rock.' The Peshitta (written in Syriac, a language cognate with Aramaic) makes no distinction between the words in the two clauses.The Greek makes the distinction between petros and petra simply because it is trying to preserve the pun, and in Greek the feminine petra could not very weel serve as a masculine name." The Expositor's Bible Commentary, Volume 8, page 368, Zondervan 1984 Emmaus |

CDBJ, A number of people on the forum seem to care or the question would not have come up. Many seem to think the Word of God is open to interpretation. Otherwise why are there all those denominations and churches you don't care about? Emmaus |

429 | Why would someone get rebaptised? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 42198 | ||
CDBJ and Joe, In the context of your ongoing conversation, what are your thoughts on this passage? Especially the last part of the passage. "To the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is consecrated through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy." 1 Cor 7:12-14 Emmaus |

Joe, As far as I know there is no official Catholic position on this passage. I agree it is challenging. I certainly do not have any definitive answer. One might assume (although you have already been chastised for that) the children were baptized. But where does that leave the unbelieving spouse? What leaps to my mind is "they become one flesh" which leads to some other questions, some of which have already bee touched on regarding the relationship between circumcision in the OT (only for males) and baptism in the NT (for all) and becoming a member of the Covenant Community or the People of God. Paul addresses some as he continues in 1 Cor. This was not a question for which I had already formulated a pat answer. The question just came to my mind as I was follwing your exchange. Emmaus |

Jarlaxle, "In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of flesh in the circumcision of Christ; and you were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead." Col 2:11-12 Go here for a discussion of the teachings of the early Church Fathers on the relationship between baptism and circumcison. http://www.catholic.com/library/Early_Teachings_of_Infant_Baptism.asp Emmaus |

433 | what are the names of the keys of the kg | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 43662 | ||
Wings, I am not aware of explicit "names" for the keys, but the following passages from Isaiah and Revelation are helpful in understanding the significance of the keys. Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the household, and say to him: What have you to do here and whom have you here, that you have hewn here a tomb for yourself, you who hew a tomb on the height, and carve a habitation for yourself in the rock? Behold, the LORD will hurl you away violently, O you strong man. He will seize firm hold on you, and whirl you round and round, and throw you like a ball into a wide land; there you shall die, and there shall be your splendid chariots, you shame of your master's house. I will thrust you from your office, and you will be cast down from your station. In that day I will call my servant Eli'akim the son of Hilki'ah, and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your girdle on him, and will commit your authority to his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David; he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. And I will fasten him like a peg in a sure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his father's house. And they will hang on him the whole weight of his father's house, the offspring and issue, every small vessel, from the cups to all the flagons. In that day, says the LORD of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a sure place will give way; and it will be cut down and fall, and the burden that was upon it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken." Isaiah 22:15-25 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one; I died, and behold I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. Rev. 1:17-18 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: "The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one shall shut, who shuts and no one opens. Rev. 3:7 Emmaus |

434 | How did sin originate | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 44574 | ||
Tim, Congregationalist, How about a short prayer excerpt to break the dogmatic deadlock? "O happy fault, O necessary sin of Adam, which gained for us so great a Redeemer!" from the Exsultet, sung at the Easter Vigil. Emmaus |

439 | Is Hades then Purgatory? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 46507 | ||
whyn, Hades is the abode of the dead in ancient mythology. It is the term used when we refer to Christ "descening in hell," more accurately translated Hades. Not the same as the hell of the dammed, but more like a place for the the dead, good and evil, with separate compartment as in the the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. Purgatory for Catholic Christians like me, (I am not a pagan) is a place or state of "purgation" or final cleansing of any remanining attachment to sin so that we are completely pure and fit to enter God's presence. This final cleansing is a work of God's comsuming or firey love. More like the ante chamber to heaven than hell. Only those destined for heaven pass through the final purification. It will cease to exist after the final jusdgement when only Heaven and Hell will remain. This of course is the Catholic view and not accepted by other Christians. But it is not a pagan view, opinions to the contrary not withstanding. Emmaus |
