543 | wailing wall/when was it originated? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 68340 | ||
Kinfolk, The wailing wall was a retaining wall built to support the ground on which Herod the great built the Temple in Jerusalem. The building of Herod's temple was begun in 19 B.C. and finished ten yers later. The decoration of the buidings continued for another several decades and was only finished in 64 A.D., six years before it was all destroyed. It was oviuoly not destroyed when Jerusalem was destroyed. It was not a building or part of a building itself, just a retaining wall. Emmaus |

It coveres the major and earliest Christian writers such as Ignatius of Antioch, Ireaneaus and one or two others. Emmaus |

545 | Where are guardian angels mentioned? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 68471 | ||
Rob, Dan 10:13 I think the "Prince of Persia," is one of the minions of the "Prince of this World," that is a fallen angel. Otherwise why would he contend with the angel sent to Danieel and with the abgel Michael? You are correct that the catholic Church teaches we have guardian angels. Specifically it teaches "From infancy to death human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession.(203) "Beside each believer believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life."(203)Already here on earth the Christian shares by faith in the blessed sompany of angels and men united in God." As you can see from the references below, this teaching is not entirely wwithout scriptural reference especially Matt 18:10 even if the precise term like the term "guardian angel," like the term "Trinity" is not found in any texts explicitly. 202 Cf. Mt 18:10; Lk 16:22; Pss 34:7; 91:10-13; Job 33:23-24; Zech 1:12. 203 St. Basil, Adv. Eunomium III, I: PG 29, 656B. Emmaus |

547 | Is marriage when you sign a paper ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 68679 | ||
Pris, Your fiancee is manipulating you to get what he wants without making any real committment on his own part. It is that simple. He may even be fooling himslf on this, but he knows what he is after. Being married is very like being pregnant, either you are or you are not. Being considered pregnant is not a reality, being pregnant is. If there are men on this forum who thinks your fiancee is being honest I would like to hear from them. And let's see if any man here with a daughter would tell his daughter to believe that line if she was being told the same thing. Chances are slim and none. And Slim probably just left town on a train. " A Man shall cleave to his wife." not his fiancee. Tell your fiancee that short of a special revelation from God you will wait for the real deal when he commits himself to you in front of witnesses in God's house. Emmaus |

bluecow, A really simple list would cover salvation history. Creation, the Fall, Cain and Abel, Noah and the Ark, Abraham, Moses, David, the Babylonian exile, the return from exile, the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles. And stress that it is always God who takes the initiative, no matter how many times man goes astray up, and man always goes astray. Emmaus |

553 | Popular Bible version for Catholics? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 68892 | ||
Makarios, Thanks for asking. I may digress a little in order to answer your question with some context. At Mass if people bring a book it is usually a Missal which has all the prayers and scripture readings for every Sunday of the year. Or a daily Missal if they go to Mass every day as my father does and has since my earliest memory. (He is now 74 and has run a weekly evening Bible study in his home for the past six years.) This (carrying the Missal to Mass) was more common in the Latin days, when almost everyone brought a Missal that had Latin on the left page and English on the right. In addition back then the readings from the Epistles and the Gospel were always read aloud in English from the pulpit. I am of the last generation to remember that as the norm. Now, a single Church in each diocese still might have a Latin Mass weekly or monthly. It is the exception rather than the rule. In the days of my youth the Douay-Rheims, or the Confraternity translations, equivalent to the KJV and RSV, were the most common bibles for Catholics and those translations were the ones used in Missals. Nowdays most of us do not usually take a Missal to Mass, although some do. The reason is that the idea is communal prayer and hearing the scriptures proclaimed from the pulpit rather than read in the pew. I use a Misaal for private devotion on a daily basis, since I can not get to daily Mass, in order to follow along with the sequence of daily scripture readings. For home use and at Bible studies, most American Catholics use the New American Bible (NAB), probably because it is the translation used in the current Missal and liturgical books and therefor familiar to the ear. I use the NAB for that reason, but in some ways prefer the RSV(CE), which has more traditional renderings for passages such as Luke 1:28, "Hail, full of grace!" as in the old Douay-Rheims and sometimes a more literal translation. The Douay still has its proponents among some Catholics as the KJV does among Protestants for similar reasons. I must admit that no other translation seems to equal the KJV for it's poetic rendering of the Psalms, especially the 23rd. I personally also love the Jerusalem Bible published in the 60's for its flowing and easy to read translation and excellent footnotes and cross references. I have several KJVs with excellent study aids, if not footnotes, which belonged to my wife and her mother. I also have The New English Bible,with Apocryphas, Oxford/Cambridge published in the 70's with excellent notes. In addition I have the NRSV and an old Living Bible from the 70's, neither of which I read. There is a new Catholic Study Bible currently coming out book by book (the Gospels right now) from Ignatius Press. It uses the RSV(CE)(Catholic Edition) as the text, but has superb footnotes, cross references and word studies in it. The Navarre Bible also uses the RSV(CE) for an English text with it's own excellent footnotes and references. The notes are from a Bible produced in Spain and translated into English. Emmaus |

Makarios, A interseting bit of trivia about the Jerusalem Bible is that J.R.R. Tolkien is named among twenty seven people listed by the general editor as "principal collaborators in translation and literary revision." Emmaus |

Hank, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. I was aware of the friendship with Lewis. They both belonged to a informal group of friends called The Inklings who were Oxford Dons and aspiring writers. I can understand the initial for Clive Staples, but not for John. I wonder is the use of initials was just a common practice of the day in some circles. Emmaus |

558 | difference of paradox and contradiction | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 69836 | ||
Ford, Contadiction is to literally "speak against" or oppose, sometime a statement that seems to oppose itself. Paradox is a statement contrary to common belief or a statementr that seems contradictory, unbelievable or absurd but is actually true in fact. For example, God is all Just and all Merciful. He is too strict, but also too forgiving. Often times in discussing Jesus a person on one day will say Jesus was too strcit in His moral demands, usually to strict for themself. On another day the same person will say Jesus is too merciful, usually too merciful to someone else. In the Gospels Jesus often found Himself accused of of opposite traits by the same opposition in different situations. Most people want justice for their grievences, until they find themselves in the position of having harmed someone else and justice is being demanded by their victim. Then they call for mercy.
