Mommapbs, You don't need a poll on this matter. You are entiled to your opinion and Mark can ignore it if he doesn't like it. Lockman has their own wesite administrators. If it comes to whose interpretation of the bible alone we have to go with I will have to be the first to go since don't even subscribe to that position. Write on Mom! Emmaus |

Get the book, Darwin's Black Box, by Michael Behe, a professor of Biochemisty. He discusses the problem presented by the irreducible complexities of some parts of nature, e.g.the eye, to the concept of batural selection. You should be able to get it at a library. If not you can get it online. Emmaus |

525 | Egnatian Way? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 66106 | ||
Prayon, I think you may be referring to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of The Society of Jesus, otherwise know as the Jesuits, a Catholic religious order of Priests dedicated primarily to missions and education. The Exercises are used optimally during a 30 day silent retreat, but are also adapted for lay people to one week and weekend retreats also. Here is a link to an article on the subject. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14224b.htm If you would like additional references, I would be happy to provide them. Emmaus |

528 | Egnatain Way? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 66161 | ||
Prayon, The Via Egnatia was a Roman Road across norther Greece. "When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia... City: Both cities were on the Egnatian Way, a major route running east-west across present-day northern Greece. Each was about a day's journey from the next (30 miles)." There is an out of print book by that title. Your best best is going to be any studies on Roman roads, probably at a university library. Thirty years ago I did a research paper on the Roman roads of England for a Roman History course I was taking. Easier research since because the local British research was in English. I will keep looking. |

532 | The origins of the Seven Deadly Sins | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 67535 | ||
Here is the original source for the seven deadly sins. Pope St. Gregory the Great (540 - 604 A.D.) Moralia in Job, Book 31, chapter 45 "The leader of the devil's army is pride, whose progeny are the seven principal vices. While there are vices which attack us in an invisible warfare under the leadership of pride, some behave like officers and others like troops. For not all faults occupy the heart from the same quarter. But while the greater and less frequently occuring faults can overcome a mind not on its guard, the lesser but more numerous faults pour in en mass. And once pride, the queen of vices, has fully conquered a heart, she soon hands it over to the seven principal vices, or to her generals. The army follows these generals for there is no doubt the that persistent multitudes of vices follow them. We will better be able to demonstrate this if we ennumerate these leaders and the army. Certainly the root of all evils is pride, of which Scripture says, "Pride is the origin of all sin" ( Eccleciaticus or Sirach 10:15). The first of her progeny are certainly the seven principal vices which come forth from the virulent root, namely, vainglory, envy, anger, sloth, avarice, gluttony,lust. And because he is grieved at our being held captive by pride's seven vices, our Redeemer wages a spiritual war of liberation for us, filled with a spirit of a sevenfold grace." cited in The Companion to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, by Ignatius Press, San Franciso, 1995 from: Gregory the Great.

josh, For the same reason it does not speak of an afterlife in heaven. The concept of an afterlife was a late deveolpment in Jewish theology. At the time of Christ the Pharisees believed in the resurrection of the dead and an afterlife, but many Jews,including the Sadducees still did not. The first significant mention of a belief in the after life appears in the period of the Macabees, not that long before the advent of Christ. Emmaus |

536 | HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 68089 | ||
Hank, Regarding the virgin birth of Jesus, the ture son of Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit I sometimes ponder this comparison. Eve according to Genesis was created out of the side of Adam by God's direct action and Adam said of Eve, "this is flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone." But an even greater act of God was the Incarnation of Christ in Mary by God's direct action, because Mary could say and now we can say of our God, "flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone," because He has become one of us. How glorious our God showed Himself by so humbling Himself. Emmaus |

537 | Why does Abram call Lot brother | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 68178 | ||
Timothy Paul, In Aramaic and Hebrew there is no word that differentiates between cousins, nephews and immediate brothers.The word often translated "brother" would more accurately be translated as "kinsmen." It is only the contact or a more round about description that clarifies the exact relationship. In the case of Abram and Lot you find this in Gen 12:5 where Lot is decribed as "his brother's son." This same kind of question arises in the New Testament regarding the "brothers of Jesus." The Greek Orthodox and Catholic Church hold that theses "brothers" are really knismen cousins since none of them are identified as sons of Mary of Nazareth, but are in other passages identified as sons of another Mary (Matt 13:55;28:1; cf Matt 27:56. There are severa passsages in both Testament where the same word is used to identify immediate brothers or less closely related kinsmen. Emmaus |

538 | Did Christ Descend into hell/ | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 68189 | ||
JOJO367, ARTICLE 5 - "HE DESCENDED INTO HELL. ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN" 631 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.[476] Paragraph I. Christ Descended into Hell 632 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.[Acts3:15; Rom8:11; 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 1Pater 3:18-19] 633 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; Pss 6:8; 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 Pss 88:49; 1 Sam 29:19; Ezek 32:17-32; Luke 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."[481] 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.[482] 634 "The gospel was preached even to the dead."[1 Peter 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. 635 Christ went down into the depths of death so that "the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live."[Jn5:25; cf Matt 12:40;Rom 10:7; Eph 4:9] Jesus, "the Author of life", by dying destroyed "him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and [delivered] all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage."[Heb 2:14-5; cf Acts 3:15] Henceforth the risen Christ holds "the keys of Death and Hades", so that "at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth."[Rev 1:18; Phil 2:10] Today a great silence reigns on earth, a great silence and a great stillness. A great silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. . . He has gone to search for Adam, our first father, as for a lost sheep. Greatly desiring to visit those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, he has gone to free from sorrow Adam in his bonds and Eve, captive with him - He who is both their God and the son of Eve. . . "I am your God, who for your sake have become your son. . . I order you, O sleeper, to awake. I did not create you to be a prisoner in hell. Rise from the dead, for I am the life of the dead."[487] IN BRIEF 636 By the expression "He descended into hell", the Apostles' Creed confesses that Jesus did really die and through his death for us conquered death and the devil "who has the power of death" (Heb 2:14). 637 In his human soul united to his divine person, the dead Christ went down to the realm of the dead. He opened heaven's gates for the just who had gone before him." The Catechism Emmaus 475 Eph 4:9-10. 476 Roman Missal, Easter Vigil 18, Exsultet. 477 Acts 3:15; Rom 8:11; I Cor 15:20; cf.

539 | Did Christ Descend into hell/ | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 68203 | ||
Dear Robert, I am RC, as anyone can see from my profile, and I think the article I quoted from gives substanial scriptural references and is not an area of dispute between Catholics and Protestants. In fact, I suspect that some Protestant catechisms would follow substanially the same lines on this particular subject. I have certainly seen Reformer Joe quote from the Catechism of the Westminster Confession on some questions and not every one here is of the Reformed branch of Protestantism. I make it very clear what my souces are and what faith I profess. Anyone on this forum for any length of time is aware of these facts and I am sure takes them into consideration in evaluating my posts. "We know that the church as you know it went out from the early church and developed many theories which are not of God." This is your opinion, with which I would disagree. "If you are a true believer in the finished work of Christ on the cross, why are you unwilling to take your place with him outside the religions of men?" I believe in the promise of Jesus that the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church (Matt 16:18). I believe that I belong to that Church. I read many Protestant souces here on the forum and elswhere. Many parts I agree with and some I do not. But I quote from Catholic sources, because I know them best, and they are the teachings, including Sacred Scripture, that have formed my faith. I do not "take your(my) place with him(Christ) outside the religions of men" because I believe I am already with and in Him where I am and He is with me and with you also for that matter. I do not feel led by God to go anywhere else or profess any other faith. I presume you say the same if I asked you why you do not become a Catholic. I know that some do not consider Catholics to be Christians. I do not believe that is the majority opinion on the forum. So, I feel no pangs of conscience citing Catholic sources as long as they cite scripture, which my post did in abundance. I posted what I did because I felt it answered the particular question asked in a thorough but reasonably concise manner with scriptural references. Is there anything in the substance of the material presented that you disagree with other than the fact that it is from a Catholic source? Emmaus |

Dear Robert, I can only tell you that we Catholics are as puzzled about why all you guys don't see the light and re-join us, as you are about why we don't see the light and join you. :-) I assure you that any personal relationship with Christ which I have attained was attained by grace through the ministry of the Catholic Church which I believe Jesus founded. I believe Jesus established a Church with a leadership and authority and that this fact is clearly demonstrated in the Gospels, Acts and the Epistles. I believe in a visible Church just as much as I believe Jesus was visible when He was on earth and established His Church. Perhaps that is where we differ. I am not sure. I believe the Church is there to minister to us and facilitate more than regulate our personal relationship with Christ. I have tried doing things on my own in this realm to my great sorrow. If I am being regulated it is with my consent and by my choice to my benefit. I am free to leave any time I wish. Many do. And many come in from other Churches or no Church. Those that come from other Churches do so because they believe the Catholic Church enhances their relationship with Christ. You, I gather, believe differently. If Church affiliation does not enter into this at all, why are you encouraging me to leave the Church with which I am affiliated and through which I have come to know Christ? "I have an aunt who is RC and is in her last days on this earth, although a devout RC all her married life, she is trusting on the finished work of Christ for her salvation." I do not believe that being a devout RC all one's married life and trusting in the finished work of Christ for salvation at life's end are mutually exclusive. I hope to do the same at my life's end even as I do now from day to day. I pray that God will receive your aunt into His presence when she is called. Emmaus |
