Hi Zsuzsi, I never cease to be amazed at your facility in English. You write better than many whose mother tongue is English. You may find this letter on the topic in question of interest. It was written by a well known Eastern European preacher of whom you may have heard. http://www.ewtn.com/library/PAPALDOC/JP2MULIE.HTM God bless! Emmaus |

Truth31, In the original Aramaic, Cephas or Kephas has no difference in ending or meaning. Only when translated to the Greek do the endings change. Paul refers to Cephas or Kephas, which makes it dificcult to hold to the petros / petra argument. In the Greek a man's name has to have a masculine ending even if the root word ending like petra is feminine. Paul refers to Peter as Cephas in eight different verses in his letters. Emmaus |

Kalos, Blame it on that Catholic guy, Guttenberg, who invented the printing press and produced the first printed book, the Bible, in Latin which was the international language of the day as much as English is today. It should also be noted that before Luther's German translation, there were at least eight prior German translations of the Bible, although Luther's mastery of German is uncontested and his translation considered a masterpiece of German language. Also before Luther there were vernacular versions of the Bible (all Catholic)in Spanish, Polish, Hungarian, Italian, French, Norweigian and Bohemian(Caech). Emmaus |

287 | Rowdy, How were John/ Jesus obsessive? | 1 John 5:6 | Emmaus | 122884 | ||
Rowdy, I think you mean Nazirite, not Nazarene. One takes a vow, the other is a person from Nazareth. Obsessed has a generaly negative and pejorative connotation to most people. Perhaps devoted, focused, committed, purpose drive would be a happier choice of words. Emmaus |

"The church even went so far off track as to make a mere human being the Pope of the Catholic faith, and allowed him to declare himself equal to God." Rowdy, When did that happen. I missed it. So did the popes. Someone should let them know. Emmaus |

290 | "Least in the kingdom of God"? | Matt 11:11 | Emmaus | 122690 | ||
Zsuzsi, One reason that you find victorA's correspondences a little different is that they tend to reflect the teaching of the Jehovah's Witnesses or The Watchtower Society, which does not belive in the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus or that the Holy Spirit is a person. Emmaus |

291 | "Least in the kingdom of God"? | Matt 11:11 | Emmaus | 122656 | ||
Zsuzsi, "Also, In Matt 11:12, Jesus states: "From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force." What exactly does He mean by this?" Two possible ways to interpret this. 1) John's pwersonal sacrifices and self denial are a call for the "violence" of bodily penance. We "subject our bodies" as paul says elswhere.Those who subject the body to the spirit are able to take hold of the Kingdom of God. 2) Satan has attempted to take men from God's kingdom; John himself was imprisoned and executed by Herod for announcing the kingdom of God (Matt 4:12; 14:1). Jesus likewise sufferes a violent death for inaugurating God's kingdom and rebuking those who oppose it (Matt 23:13). This is a paraphrase of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible footnotes.

292 | "Least in the kingdom of God"? | Matt 11:11 | Emmaus | 122653 | ||
Zsuzsi, Look at John 1:12-13 in this context of being born of a woman or born of the Spirit. It is the the Spirit that give birth to etrnal life in the new Covenant. Yes, the OT saints were saved by faith, but thgat was only realized after the cricifixion of Christ when the New Covenant in his blood was established. His Kingdom was esatablishe with the Ascension and all the references to his dominion are mentioned in Daniel 7:13,26-27; 22:69 Acts 7:56. It is the least in the Kingdom that are identified with Christ because they are in Christ and rule with Him as we see in Daniel 7:26-27, Matt 25:45 and various places in the book of Revelation. I think you are on the right track, in the sense that jesus allowed himself to become one of us, but I still beleieve in the passages in question, i.e Matt 11:11 He is referring to his disciples in the Kingdom (Church) who are identified with Him and so greater than those of the OT who were identified with Moses (Romans 10:20). the Pharises were unwilling to stop identifying with Moses and start identifying witrh Jesus. That is a lot of what Romans and hebrews is all about. John the batizer was the greatest of the OT saints becasue he share more fully than any of them in the Messiah's mission even though he died before its consumation on the cross. He was filled with the Holy Spirit even in his mother's womb in order to prepare him for his mission as the forerunner (Luke 1:15,41. It is Jesus Himself who contrasts the Old and new Covenants in various places succh as the anaology of the Old and new Wineskins. He inaugurates His mission by changing water into wine. It is He who called it the New Covenant in Matt 26:28. I am now off the point of the "least" but found it har to stop connection the jots and tittles. Praying you have a Spirit filled Pentecost.

293 | What is the meaning of unleavened bread? | Ex 12:1 | Emmaus | 122639 | ||
Lorenzo, You are wlecome. My pleasure. Here is a link to The whole letter to Romans written by Ignatius. http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0107.htm He wrote a series of letters to seven churches as he was being taken to Rome. There are links to them also at the one to the Romans. They are not very long letters, but give a lot of insight into the early Church. He was the third bishop of Antioch after St. Peter and was martyred during the reign of Emperor Trajan (A.D.98-117). Emmaus |

295 | What is the meaning of unleavened bread? | Ex 12:1 | Emmaus | 122584 | ||
Lorenzo, "We are clay vessels, and also bread." Ignatius, bishop of Antioch wrote of this "we are bread" as he was being taken to Rome for martyrdom around 100 A.D. "I write to all the Churches, and impress on them all, that I shall willingly die for God, unless ye hinder me. I beseech of you not to show an unseasonable goodwill towards me. Suffer me to become food for the wild beasts, through whose instrumentality it will be granted me to attain to God. I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of God. Rather entice the wild beasts, that they may become my tomb, and may leave nothing of my body; so that when I have fallen asleep [in death], I may not be found troublesome to any one. Then shall I be a true disciple of Jesus Christ, when the world shall not see so much as my body. Entreat the Lord for me, that by these instruments I may be found a sacrifice to God." Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Romans dated 98-117 A.D. He died a Martyr in Rome after being taken there in chains for refusing to worship Ceasar as God. http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p2s2c1a3.htm#1334 Emmaus |

297 | Us refers to God and Mary? | Gal 4:4 | Emmaus | 121702 | ||
Norm, I don't think anyone on this Forum has written more than me about Mary. But, Genesis 1:26-27 has nothing to do with her in any way. That was about Adam and Eve. And the "us" is strictly a reference to God, whether you interpret the "us" as a "Royal We" or as an implicit reference to the Trinity. Either way the "us " in Gen 1:26 does not refer to Mary and neither does the male and female in Gen 1:27 refer to Mary, but rather to Adam and Eve as is obvious from the following context in Gen 2. Emmaus |

298 | Does Jesus Have Mary's Blood or DNA etc. | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 121017 | ||
aldkathy, Far be it from me to straighten anybody out. Jesus was born sinless because he was God incarnate and God is without sin, although He was later tempted like us in all things, but did not sin. As to the question of how this inter-relates to Mary: go to the Quick Search box to the right of the screen and enter the number 26887. That will take you to a thread which has a pretty spirited and thorough discussion of the subject. Welcome to the Forum. Emmaus |

299 | Do our works keep us saved? | 1 Cor 12:13 | Emmaus | 120669 | ||
Mommapbs, "If it makes you feel more a part of Christ to do good deeds who am I to disuade you?" It is not about my feelings, which may well be irrelvant, but rather about what Jeus said: John 14:12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father." Yes, Christ works in us and without that our works are useless, but we also work with Christ. We do not have to make an "either or choice". It is a "both and" reality, with God in the driver's seat. 1 Cor 3:9 "For we are God's fellow workers..." Col 1:29 For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me. Emmaus |

300 | Grace AND? | Matt 6:20 | Emmaus | 120374 | ||
Tim, Grace preceeds works and even faith. Without it there is no faith and no works of faith. The initial grace of justification is always gratituous. Grace through faith which has works of mercy as indicated in Matt 25. Not "easy believeism" faith. James 2:13,19 "For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy;mercy triumphs over judgment.You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe,and shudder." James 2:17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. Emmaus |
