"I. THE PARTICULAR JUDGMENT 1021 Death puts an end to human life as the time open to either accepting or rejecting the divine grace manifested in Christ.[590] The New Testament speaks of judgment primarily in its aspect of the final encounter with Christ in his second coming, but also repeatedly affirms that each will be rewarded immediately after death in accordance with his works and faith. The parable of the poor man Lazarus and the words of Christ on the cross to the good thief, as well as other New Testament texts speak of a final destiny of the soul-a destiny which can be different for some and for others.[591] 590 Cf. 2 Tim 1:9-10. 591 Cf. Lk 16:22; 23:43; Mt 16:26; 2 Cor 5:8; Phil 1:23; Heb 9:27; 12:23." The Catechism Emmaus |

Matthew, You either did not read the scriptures cited in my previous post, chose to ignore them or just disagree. So what authority that decides which interpretation is correct when two parties come to different conclusions reading the same scripture? And who are all those people all over the place in heaven in the book of Revelation before the Final Judgement? Emmaus |

Matthew, So, as you see it, the Old Testament dead are alive in Christ and in heaven, but the New Testament martyrs and saints are dead in the ground and not alive in Christ in heaven? Are these really ideas drawn from your own personal study or have you learned anything from other sources that any of the rest of us on this forum might recognize? your ideas are out of sync with 2,000 years of Christian understanding of the Gospel and Scripture.

Matthew, "This is not new doctrine. I used to think that we went to heaven or hell as soon as we died...before i actually studied it for myself." Keep studying. I don't think you have it all figured out yet. Revelation, chapter 7 1: After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. 2: Then I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, 3: saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads." 4: And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe of the sons of Israel, 5: twelve thousand sealed out of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand of the tribe of Gad, 6: twelve thousand of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand of the tribe of Naph'tali, twelve thousand of the tribe of Manas'seh, 7: twelve thousand of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand of the tribe of Is'sachar, 8: twelve thousand of the tribe of Zeb'ulun, twelve thousand of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand sealed out of the tribe of Benjamin. 9: After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10: and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!" 11: And all the angels stood round the throne and round the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12: saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God for ever and ever! Amen." 13: Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and whence have they come?" 14: I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15: Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night within his temple; and he who sits upon the throne will shelter them with his presence. 16: They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. 17: For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Matthew, I think your general method of interpretation of just about ever text related to the afterlife is fundamentaly flawed and at odds with 2,000 year of Christian exegesis. I also seriously doubt that these are your original ideas developed without any outside input, although it is possible I am wrong. We are in Christ here and we will be even more radically in and with Christ at our death, before the Final or General judgement. "For I am convinced that neither DEATH nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesusour Lord." Romans 8:38-39 Please don't tell me how God loves us while we are dead in the grave but not concious of Him because we have not been "clothed" with our new heavenly bodies. It is not in the body that we are made in the image of God. The Gospel accounts of the dead risen after the crucifxion, to which you have previously alluded, have nothing to say about new or heveanly bodies we will recieve at the Final Judgement resurrection of the dead. This thread has run its course for me. Emmuas |

Matthew, "I see that you have run out of scripture to support the weak views carried out by 2,000 years of Christian exegesis(whatever that word is)." Would any amount of scripture change your position? I doubt it. It is not the scripture or its amount that is at issue, but the interpetation of scripture. Please look up the meaning of exegesis and isogesis also. It is at the heart of our disagreement. "Those seeing you will gaze even at you, saying . . . " (Is. 14:9-11). To be absent from the body is not to be unconscious, but rather it enables one to be home with the Lord, according to Paul (2 Cor. 5:8, Phil. 1:23). The body is just a tent, or clothing, or a tabernacle that does not last (2 Cor. 5:1-4; 2 Pet. 1:13), while man cannot kill the soul (Matt. 10:28). In fact, the souls live past the death of the bodies, since John "saw . . . the souls of those slaughtered . . . and they cried with a loud voice, saying . . . and they were told . . . " (Rev. 6:9-11). Because the soul does not die with the flesh, those in heaven are able to offer our prayers to God (Rev. 5:8), and live in happiness (Rev. 14:13. I know that according to you some "souls" in heaven are the integrated resurrected bodies and souls of the Old testament just. But it seems fundamentaly inconsistent that once the gates of heaven were opened all the other soul/bodies should be unconscious until the Second Coming. But I now know where you are coming from and why, since as you said, you have "let the cat out of the bag." We must for obvious reasons disagree with one another on this matter. What I found disingenuous about your earlier posts was your assertion that you came to your positions by reading of the bible just on your own. Emmaus |

Matthew, Am I to understand that you, by personal study only, without any input from Adventist publications or discussions with Adventist came to these ideas all on your own and only then did you discover the Adventist church in a serendipitous moment and decided to join it since they agreed with you? A far as big words go, I hope you can apprecitate my dilema. I am trying to break myself of the habit of using little four letter words, especially in argumentative circumstances. Emmaus |

Matthew, Beware should I begin to speak to you in parables. They can be a form of judgement. Jesus began using parables in Matthew only in chapter 13 immediatley after he was rejected by the Pharisees. And then of course there was the parable Nathan proposed to David after the murder of Uriah. And then there is Is 6:9-10. Besides, parables are not conducive to the use of big words. It is late. Good night. Emmaus |

671 | Lent. Why don't Catholics eat meat? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 85397 | ||
New Creature, This subject of this dicipline(not a doctrine) has a long and varied history in the Church. The short answer to why fish is not considered meat is that meat is defined as coming from warm blooded animals in the current context. But some parts of the Church, certains religious orders and Eastern Rite Churches abstain even from fish, butter and eggs. The folowing is a brief extract from a much larger article on abstenance in the Catholic Encyclopedia. The link to the complete article is also below. if you are interested in the full history. "Throughout the Latin Church the law of abstinence prohibits all responsible subjects from indulging in meat diet on duly appointed days. Meat diet comprises the flesh, blood, or marrow of such animals and birds as constitute flesh meat according to the appreciation of intelligent and law-abiding Christians For this reason the use of fish, vegetables, mollusks, crabs, turtles, frogs, and such-like cold-blooded creatures is not at variance with the law of abstinence.

New Creature, Why is making your point so important that you would ignore the even the Webster's definition that says "the flesh of animals, especially of mammals", which are as I described warm blood animals? And why did you leave out Websters inclusion of the edible part of a nut in its hird desciption of meat? A you say, it is certainly your interpretation of Websters's definition, not Webster's definition of meat that matters most to you. Emmaus |
