101 | Why worship on resurrection day? | Ex 20:10 | Emmaus | 140462 | ||
"Rhetorical PS: How come we have to edit out the "death of enemies" stuff?" Don't know. Probably seems inconsistent with loving your enemies as Christ did. This is not a recent, politiccally correct thing to my knowledge. I think it is rather ancient. I mentioned it only in the interest of full disclosure, rather than saying that "all" the Psalms are covered in the four week cycle. I was not even aware the were not covered until I read a not to that effect recently. I guess you have to pray those few personally, not in community. ;-) Emmaus |

Doc, A Christmas gift to you. This is the link to a site which has all the prayers of the daily liturgy: Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, Night Prayer and the Scripture readings ofd the day for Mass. The morning and evening prayers are built around the Psalms and over four weeks cover the whole of the Psalter, except for a few precatory Psalms which call for the death of enemies. I think you may find it interesting to follow for a while and see what you think. http://www.universalis.com/20041224/today.htm Emmaus |

Doc, Here are a few links about Liturgical Colors. All of these senosry elements to worship, what CVatholics refer to as "smells and bells" are designed to engage all the senses as well as the mind and heart in worship. It is an incarnational theology of the Liturgy. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04134a.htm http://www.medugorje.com/catholic/lit_color.html http://www.stcecilia.org/artenv/LitColors.htm Emmaus |

Doc, Basically, the first half of the Mass (or Divine Liturgy as it is called in the Eastern Rites and Churches) was know as the Mass of the Catechumens. The prayers and Scripture readings along with the homiies were meant to be instructions in the Christian faith. The Catechumens were dismissed after the homily. The second half of the Mass was called the Mass of the Faithfull and only baptized Christians were allowed to stay and partake of the Eucharist. That is a very simiplified version. The details and uniformity of the Scripture readings for the particular seasons and feast days were worked out over cenbturies. But we still have many of the homilies of the ealry Church Fathers and can tell a lot about the feast days and the Scripture readings for those days from their homilies. Today the first half of the Mass is called the Liturgy of the Word and the Second half, the Liturgy of the Eucharist. In some parishes the Catechumens or those learing the Catholic faith, are disnmissed for further instruction and discussion of the Scripture readngs after the homily. In other parishes they are allowed to stay throutgh the Liturgy of the Eucharist and then go for further instruction, but are not allowed to receive Communion. Now that we live in a Neo-Pagan age were are reverting to the teaching styles of the Church in the original Pagan age. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Emmaus |

107 | Will sin enter heaven? | Rev 21:17 | Emmaus | 140013 | ||
Jeff W, "Why does the whole of Christianity believe and teach that we will never stop sinning?" I don't know any part of Christianity that teaches the saved will sin after death. And certainly some very holy Christians seem to have, by the grace of God, overcome sin before the end of their lives, but I haven't met many. Our human experience of ourselves and others confirms this. 1 John aslso comes too mind including 1 John 1:1: 10 and 3:16-17, noy of course forgetting 18. Most of us, even when justified by grace and faith are a work in progress when it comes to being conformed to Christ. And that process for most seems to last to the very end of our earthly lives. James 1:14-15 tells us: "Rather, each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. The desire conceives and brings forth sin, and when sin reaches maturity it gives birth to death." This is a process of degradation in sin. It seesm reasonabel and experience bears out that grace works in a similar manner. We are called and "lured" so to speak by God's grace aqnd His desire for us. We begin by grace to confirm ourselves to His desire and grace conceives faith, which when it reaches maturity gives bith to eternal life. We call the process of being "conformed to Christ" sanctification or "an increase in justification". Some seem to progress more quickly than others. So, the question is when each individual may stop sinning? For certain, no one who has been saved will sin after death and they may even undergo a final purification before entering the presence of God. 1 Cor 3:15. That0 is my take on your question. It is not something I have any desire to debate. Emmaus |

108 | Where will they be "taken" to? | Luke 17:36 | Emmaus | 139937 | ||
Doc, I have also seen the preterist interpretation of Luke 17:37 and Matt 24:28 as referring to the gathering of the Romans legions at the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. The symbol of the Roman legions was the eagle on a staff. See also Job 39:27-30. Emmaus |

109 | "upon this rock I will build my church" | Matt 16:18 | Emmaus | 139550 | ||
Doc, in this case, Gal 2:11, paul is confronting Peter for preaching one think and doing another, being hyprocritical. Papale infalibity in teaching on faith and morals under very limited circumstance is not to be confused with impeccability. Popes can and do sin. Infallibilty is a "negative" chaism of the holy Spirit, which prevents the formal teaching of error in faith and morals in exercising the formal teaching office. It does not prevent immorality or unfaithfulness on the personal level nor assure faithfulness or morality on a personal level in daily life. Lots of ink has been spilled on this subject. I was offering a strictly scriptural explanation of Matthew 16:18 in response to the question and attempting to address objections often raised in response to the position I was putting forth.I realize that the position I have laid out. It is not one to which most on this forum adhere and is in fact one which most here might be expected to reject and oppose. Nevertheless, there is a case to be made and I have made it within the limits of my ability. Emmaus |

Dave, "The only gospel that contains the story about the angel visiting Mary is the gospel of Luke(Luke 1:26-38). But he doesn't mention a name." Yes he does mention a name. Luke 1:26 "Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth," Emmaus |

119 | Is the church is infallible? | 1 Tim 3:15 | Emmaus | 137118 | ||
Al, I would like to offer a little background history. I have been on this forum since November 2001 and have established friendships with a number of the other longtime members with whom you are interacting. If you search my archived posts you will see that we have even covered much of the same territory being covered now. During my time here, other posters, now gone, have made intemperate attacks on the Catholic Church. They were rebuked by the same people with whom you are interacting. The posting privileges of the abusers were revoked after abuse complaints, not by me but, by other Protestants on this site. Your will notice that one of the rules here is against pushing denominational biases and also against Arminan / Calvinist debates. This is an in house Protestant dispute. Some have been revoked because of violations of that rule. I hope you will post on threads other than Catholic / Protestant controversies since this is really a Bible Study Forum and there are many areas of interest in which we have common ground with our "separated brethren." This is a place for civil and charitable study of biblical questions. Making one's point and moving on without expecting agreement or conversion is important. Otherwise this site will become nothing but an endless debate forum. Charity and a broad interest in scriptural questions and study is essential to longevity on this Forum. I look forward to seeing your posts on other threads. Emmaus |

120 | Is the church is infallible? | 1 Tim 3:15 | Emmaus | 136749 | ||
Junmeskie and msgzzz, I am Catholic and have been on this forum for three years. It is a Bible Study forum. It is not about pushing a particular agenda or getting in the face of others. Those who bash Catholics and the Catholic faith have had their privilege to post revoked. We are not here to have endless debate. Please respect the fact that all of us are guest here and the host organization is a Protestant company. They could make this a forum closed to Catholics if they wished. Curtsey toward the host's background is a minimal expectation. You are free to discuss scripture and to put forward the Catholic position on scripture so long as it is done courteously and with the understanding that your Catholic position may be debated or challenged. Emmaus |
