1381 | How to love others as commanded | 1 John 3:11 | Emmaus | 108886 | ||
Kichmon, Your perversion of Catholic Marian doctrine with Goddess worship, as seen in your other posts and profile, is I suspect even more offensive to me as a Catholic that it is to the Evangelical Christians on this forum, because it is such and artfully crafted lie. You quote authoritative sources artfully, yet it is obvious you reject those same authorities in their whole context. Catholic teaching is perfectly clear that Mary's place of honor (even as Mediatrix) is due to the grace God bestowed on her and her relationship to Jesus, her son and Savior. She like all other creatures is in a subordinate relationship to Jesus, the Father and Holy Spirit, just as the rest of us are, no matter how lofty her dignity and honor may be because of the honor the Father betowed on her to bear the Son into the world and share in his life in so special and intimate a manner. Whatever you may believe, I hope no one mistakes you for a Catholic, or the implications of the entire body of your posts as true Catholic teaching. Your posts are as dangerous as Jim Jones fruitjuice cocktail. The poison more than outweighs the larger volume of the of the juice into which it is mixed. Emmaus |

1382 | What does baptism consist? | 1 John 5:6 | Emmaus | 23424 | ||
Baptism is the circumcision of Christ by which enter the new Covenant. We are baptized in water by Christ's command in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Col 3:11-14, Matt 28:19-20, John 3:5,22, Acts 2:37, Acts 16:30-33, 1Peter 3:21, Romans 6:2-3. | ||||||
1383 | What does baptism consist? | 1 John 5:6 | Emmaus | 114228 | ||
Arrow 1, Actually the phrase "faith alone" is found one place in scripture but preceeded by the words "not by": James 2:24 "You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone." Emmaus |

1384 | 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 |

John, i am sure you have heard the expression that a text with a context is a pretext. e.g. pretext "Acts 16:31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." These words were spoken by the apostle Paul, in answer to the frantic plea from his phillipian jailor. Notice that the verse excludes any acts of work on our part" e.g. context "Acts 16:30 and after he brought them out", he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Acts 16:31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." Acts 16:32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house. Acts 16:33 And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household." Emmaus |

Dear John and Tim, Contest is important in the case of saving faith. Saving faith co-operates with grace. So for example, when God split the Red Sea, would he Israelites have been saved if they "believe in Yaweh" but did not cross over? Now, they could not have saved themselves unless God had split the Red Sea, nor could they have crossed over if God had not split the Red Sea. So God gets the glory for salavtion, but their faith is only saving faith if it co-operates with grace by crossing over. Of course I do not need to point out to scholars such as yourself the MT allusions to the relationship between the Red Sea crossing and baptism, and between baptism and the death and resurrection of Christ. The point is that Lightman was asking for practical advice and I think practical advice would be that he should respond to grace by cooperating with it in the ways we see expounded in the NT, not just telling him to "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household" without the rest of the context. That would be like moses telling the Israelites to "beleive in Yaweh" but don't worry about any "works" such as crossing over. In that situation a man who has that kind of faith is a man whose "faith without works is dead" to coin a phrase. Emmaus |

John, I did read the whole post and did not comment on the rest because I had no issue with it. I just felt that the the particular passage of Acts which you cited was not complete in its proper context with the following two verses. I see that particlar verse quoted out of context so many times in the baptismal wars that it always jumps out at me. I just feel that faith, hope and charity (works in Christ), which are the theological virtues are like the Trinity, inseparable and of one substance so to speak, and that it is also unwise to separate the hearing of the Gospel, belief and our response from one another when the full context does not do that. It is then that often faith is without works in christ and is dead. But you may very well be correct in your analysis of Ligtman's situation: that he may be focusing first on his works, rather than on God's work, upon which he should focus in hopeful assurance that God will bring completion the work He has begun in him. By the way, sometimes the means and the evidence are one and the same. The murder weapon can be the means and evidence of a murder. Christ's passion, death and reurreection was the means and the evidence of our salvation. That is why I do not have a problem with sacraments being means and evidence since Christ is at work in them. The same goes for works in Christ, since it is Christ working in us. Perhaps I was splitting hairs. Please accept my apology. Emmaus |

1391 | Does Islam fit here? | 2 John 1:7 | Emmaus | 129199 | ||
DocTrinsograce, " When did I ever say that the reformation was about putting Bibles into the hands of the people?" I think Ed was referring to this: "Ecumenism that teaches the worship of unity even at the cost of truth. That would put us back under the authority of priests and popes, with no apology or consideration of the hundreds of thousands who were killed and tortured for trying to put Bibles in the hands of common people." But now, all having been advised of the wicked history of Popery and realizing that many Catholics also have negative feelings about Ecumenism because of such responses to it as seen above, perhaps we can all get back to the Bible Study for which this Forum was created. Emmaus |

DocTrinsograce. I did not say I was resistent to Ecumenism. I said: "that many Catholics also have negative feelings about Ecumenism" because of the response it often gets, which does not even mean they are opposed to it, although some are. Now about Bible Study... Emmaus |

(John 1: 14) And He was crucified for us (Mark 15: 25; 1 Corinthians 15: 3) under Pontius Pilate, (John 19: 6) suffered, died (Mark 8: 31; John 19:33-34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4) and was buried.

1395 | Why did Satan want Moses bones? | Jude 1:9 | Emmaus | 85282 | ||
Scribe, "Moses died, and God buried him. No man knows where to this day. Moses body might have been taken to heaven. If so Satan would have opposed the legality of such a thing. It is satan’s legal right to cause death to reign and for the body of men to see corruption, rot after death. Remember Peter said in Acts 2 that David was prophesying of Jesus when he said.. Thou wilt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption. Satan accused God of being unjust in not allowing Moses body to be corrupted like all others. There is something significant to the kingdom of hell to see death have its complete sway on man even unto the rotting of the flesh in the grave. The angel said the Lord Rebuke thee. Because God did indeed satisfy the legal requirements of His own justice but satan did not know how yet." Jude was probably referencing an incident in the Jewish Apocpryphal book The Assumption of Moses. Imagine how Satan must felt about Enoch and Elijah too. Emmaus |

1396 | Why did Satan want Moses bones? | Jude 1:9 | Emmaus | 85294 | ||
Scibe "The mention of Enoch and this mention are not quotes from apocryphal books but rather there have been books written by gnostics and other spurious writers that attempted to fabricate stories based on these mentions in the Bible. But I that is my opinion and I am aware that there are many that have a different one." The apochryphal Book of Enoch is still extant and Jude was quoting from it in Jude 14: Enoch 1:9. This passage was found also among the Dead Sea Scrolls which date before 70 AD. Jude is dated by many to about 80 A.D. Emmaus |

Timla6, I expect Prayon will also respond, but look at Revelation 21 and 22, especially Rev 21:2; Rev 22:7, 17, Epehsians 5:25 and Galatians 4:26. Emmaus |

Timla6, Take a look also at John 3:26-29, where John the Baptist is addressing his diciples who are complaining that the people are leaveing John for Jesus. John in essence is saying, Jesus is the Bridegroom, I am only the best man, the bride (the people following Jesus) belong to the Bridegroom. Emmaus |

humpy, THE LAST JUDGEMENT 678. "Following in the steps of the prophets and John the Baptist, Jesus announced the judgement of the Last Day in his preaching.[Cf. Dan 7:10 ; Joel 3-4 ; Mal 3: 19 ; Mt 3:7-12 .] Then will the conduct of each one and the secrets of hearts be brought to light.[Cf Mk 12:38-40 ; Lk 12:1-3 ; Jn 3:20-21 ; Rom 2:16 ; 1 Cor 4:5 .] Then will the culpable unbelief that counted the offer of God's grace as nothing be condemned.[Cf. Mt 11:20-24 ; Mt 12:41-42 .] Our attitude to our neighbour will disclose acceptance or refusal of grace and divine love.[Cf. Mt 5:22 ; Mt 7:1-5 .] On the Last Day Jesus will say: 'Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.'[Mt 25:40 .]" 679. "Christ is Lord of eternal life. Full right to pass definitive judgement on the works and hearts of men belongs to him as redeemer of the world. He 'acquired' this right by his cross. The Father has given 'all judgement to the Son'.[Jn 5:22 ; cf. Jn 5:27 ; Mt 25:31 ; Acts 10:42 ; Acts 17:31 ; 2 Tim 4:1 .] Yet the Son did not come to judge, but to save and to give the life he has in himself.[Cf. Jn 3:17 ; Jn 5:26 .] By rejecting grace in this life, one already judges oneself, receives according to one's works, and can even condemn oneself for all eternity by rejecting the Spirit of love.[Cf. Jn 3:18 ; Jn 12:48 ; Mt 12:32 ; 1 Cor 3:12-15 ; Heb 6:4-6 ; Heb 10:26-31 .]" THE PARTICULAR JUDGEMENT 1021. "Death puts an end to human life as the time open to either accepting or rejecting the divine grace manifested in Christ.[Cf. 2 Tim 1:9-10 .] 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.[Cf. Lk 16:22 ; Lk 23:43 ; Mt 16:26 ; 2 Cor 5:8 ; Phil 1:23 ; Heb 9:27 ; Heb 12:23 .] " 1022. "Each man receives his eternal retribution in his immortal soul at the very moment of his death, in a particular judgment that refers his life to Christ: either entrance into the blessedness of heaven-through a purification[Cf. Council of Lyons II (1274): DS 857-858; Council of Florence (1439): DS 1304- 1306; Council of Trent (1563): DS 1820.] or immediately,[Cf. Benedict XII, Benedictus Deus (1336): DS 1000-1001; John XXII, Ne super his (1334): DS 990.]-or immediate and everlasting damnation.[Cf. Benedict XII, Benedictus Deus (1336): DS 1002.] At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our love.[St. John of the Cross, Dichos 64.] The Catechism Emmaus |
