2 | Why little on the importance of Hope? | Rom 8:24 | Emmaus | 196939 | ||
Funny you should ask. Romans 8:24 "For in hope we have been saved..." The pope just released an encyclical on christian hope. http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0706836.htm http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20071130_spe-salvi_en.html |

4 | Jesus getting the keys to hell | Rev 1:18 | Emmaus | 184434 | ||
hungering, I don't think there is a passage about Jesus going to get the keys to hell. The keys represent authority. But this verse may be the closest to what you are looking for: Rev 1:18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Otherwise, 1 Peter 3:18-22 illustrates the exercise of His authority, but does not mention the keys. Emmaus |

5 | why are there so many wars | Ex 20:13 | Emmaus | 179144 | ||
James Chapter 4:1-3 W"here do the wars and where do the conflicts among you come from? Is it not from your passions that make war within your members? You covet but do not possess. You kill and envy but you cannot obtain; you fight and wage war. You do not possess because you do not ask. You ask but do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

12 | Prophet describe ladies of Jerusalem | Is 3:16 | Emmaus | 176653 | ||
Is 3:16 Is 1:8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, Like a watchman's hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city. Is 3:16 Moreover, the LORD said, "Because the daughters of Zion are proud And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And tinkle the bangles on their feet, Is 3:17 Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, And the LORD will make their foreheads bare." Is 4:4 When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and purged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning, Is 10:32 Yet today he will halt at Nob; He shakes his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. Is 16:1 Send the tribute lamb to the ruler of the land, From Sela by way of the wilderness to the mountain of the daughter of Zion. Is 37:22 this is the word that the LORD has spoken against him: "She has despised you and mocked you, The virgin daughter of Zion; She has shaken her head behind you, The daughter of Jerusalem! Is 52:2 Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, O captive Jerusalem; Loose yourself from the chains around your neck, O captive daughter of Zion. Is 62:11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, "Lo, your salvation comes; Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him." |

13 | where does Paul receive his apostleship | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 176126 | ||
Max, Just to elaborate a bit on what CDBJ had to say. Just one example, not even the first from Acts, but one that shows the Holy Spirit setting apart and affirming Paul’s ministry which has dramatic realization at its first mission stop is Acts 13. Acts 13:2 While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." Acts 13:3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. Acts 13:4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to Cyprus. Acts 13:5 When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had John as their helper. Acts 13:6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus, Acts 13:7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. Acts 13:8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. Acts 13:9 But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his gaze on him, Acts 13:10 and said, "You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked the straight ways of the Lord? Acts 13:11 "Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time." And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand. Acts 13:12 Then the proconsul believed when he saw what had happened, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord. The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible Introduction to Acts makes some interesting points. The final part of the introduction overview spoke about some features of Acts that appeared to be an apologetic defense of Paul's ministry against his detractors who were trying to undermine his unique status as a post Resurrection Apostle, who rather than helping to establish the Church had actually persecuted it. 2Cor 11:4-6; 12:11; Gal 6:12. Luke establishes Paul's credentials by comparing him to Peter in these ways: Both delivered inaugural sermons focusing on the Davidic Covenant. 2:22-36; 13:26-41 Both appealed to Psalm 16 in relation to the Resurrection. 2:25-28; 13:35 Both healed cripples. 3:1-10; 14:8-10 Both filled with the Holy Spirit. 4:8; 13:9 Both were renowned for extraordinary miracles. 5:15-16; 19:11-12 Both conferred the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands. 8:14-17; 19:6 Both confront and rebuke a magician. 8:18-24; 13:6-11 Both raise the dead. 9:36-41; 20:9-12 Both refuse divine worship. 10:25-26; 14:11-15 Both delivered from prison miraculously. 12:6-11; 16:25-34 Paul also called by Jesus. 9:1-19; 22:3-16; 26:2-18 So demonstrating by parallels that Peter and Paul had the same preaching, the same power and the same protection.

16 | Why do Catholics pray to Mary | Bible general Archive 3 | Emmaus | 175489 | ||
tcl, Doctrinsograce suggested that I respond to your question since I am perhaps the only Catholic active on the forum over a long period of time. I will refer you to a thread from 2001 which I was involved in with Hank and some other members. That way you can get both sides of the conversation. Go to the Search box on the right side of the screen and enter the number 26328 and hour enter key. It will take you to the thread, which you can follow with the links shown as when you scrool dowwn the screen. But in a nutshell, praying "to" mary and the other saints, for a Catholic has to do with the communion of saints in Christ which is not broken by physical dead. It is like asking a friend to pray with you or for you. It's that simple. "Ther prayer of a righteous man ( or woman) availeth much" whether the righteous person is with us and in Christ or with Christ in heaven. That's how Catholics see it. Emmaus |

18 | what does the transfiguration of Jesus m | Matt 17:2 | Emmaus | 175025 | ||
shabak1024 "A foretaste of the Kingdom: the Transfiguration "From the day Peter confessed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, the Master "began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things. . . and be killed, and on the third day be raised."(290) Peter scorns this prediction, nor do the others understand it any better than he.(291) In this context the mysterious episode of Jesus' Transfiguration takes place on a high mountain,(292) before three witnesses chosen by himself: Peter, James and John. Jesus' face and clothes become dazzling with light, and Moses and Elijah appear, speaking "of his departure, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem".(293) A cloud covers him and a voice from heaven says: "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!"(294) "For a moment Jesus discloses his divine glory, confirming Peter's confession. He also reveals that he will have to go by the way of the cross at Jerusalem in order to "enter into his glory".(295) Moses and Elijah had seen God's glory on the Mountain; the Law and the Prophets had announced the Messiah's sufferings.(296) Christ's Passion is the will of the Father: the Son acts as God's servant;(297) the cloud indicates the presence of the Holy Spirit. "The whole Trinity appeared: the Father in the voice; the Son in the man; the Spirit in the shining cloud."(298) You were transfigured on the mountain, and your disciples, as much as they were capable of it, beheld your glory, O Christ our God, so that when they should see you crucified they would understand that your Passion was voluntary, and proclaim to the world that you truly are the splendor of the Father.(299) "On the threshold of the public life: the baptism; on the threshold of the Passover: the Transfiguration. Jesus' baptism proclaimed "the mystery of the first regeneration", namely, our Baptism; the Transfiguration "is the sacrament of the second regeneration": our own Resurrection.(300) From now on we share in the Lord's Resurrection through the Spirit who acts in the sacraments of the Body of Christ. The Transfiguration gives us a foretaste of Christ's glorious coming, when he "will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body."(301) But it also recalls that "it is through many persecutions that we must enter the kingdom of God":(302) "Peter did not yet understand this when he wanted to remain with Christ on the mountain. It has been reserved for you, Peter, but for after death. For now, Jesus says: "Go down to toil on earth, to serve on earth, to be scorned and crucified on earth. Life goes down to be killed; Bread goes down to suffer hunger; the Way goes down to be exhausted on his journey; the Spring goes down to suffer thirst; and you refuse to suffer?"(303) 290 Mt 16:21. 291 Cf.

19 | Can you go to heaven without holyghost? | 1 Cor 12:3 | Emmaus | 174884 | ||
annointed child, No Holy Spirit - No Heaven. "No one can say 'Jesus is Lord' except by the Holy Spirit." 1 Cor 12:3 "God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!"' Gal 4:6 This knowledge of faith is possible only in the Holy Spirit: to be in touch with Christ, we must first have been touched by the Holy Spirit. He comes to meet us and kindles faith in us....Through his grace, the Holy Spirit is the first to awaken faith in us and to communicate to us the new life, which is to "know the Father and the one whom he has sent, Jesus Christ." Jn 17:3." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s2c3.htm#683 "Anointing. The symbolism of anointing with oil also signifies the Holy Spirit, 30 Cf. 1 Jn 2:20:27; 2 Cor 1:21 to the point of becoming a synonym for the Holy Spirit. In Christian initiation, anointing is the sacramental sign of Confirmation, called "chrismation" in the Churches of the East. Its full force can be grasped only in relation to the primary anointing accomplished by the Holy Spirit, that of Jesus. Christ (in Hebrew "messiah") means the one "anointed" by God's Spirit. There were several anointed ones of the Lord in the Old Covenant, pre-eminently King David. Cf. Ex 30:22-32; 1 Sam 16:13 But Jesus is God's Anointed in a unique way: the humanity the Son assumed was entirely anointed by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit established him as "Christ." Cf. Lk 418-19; Isa 61:1 The Virgin Mary conceived Christ by the Holy Spirit who, through the angel, proclaimed him the Christ at his birth, and prompted Simeon to come to the temple to see the Christ of the Lord. Cf Lk 2:11,26-27 The Spirit filled Christ and the power of the Spirit went out from him in his acts of healing and of saving. cf Lk 4:1; 6:19; 8:46 Finally, it was the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead. Cf. Rom 1:4; 8:11 Now, fully established as "Christ" in his humanity victorious over death, Jesus pours out the Holy Spirit abundantly until "the saints" constitute - in their union with the humanity of the Son of God - that perfect man "to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ": Eph 4:13; cf. Acts 2:36 "the whole Christ," in St. Augustine's expression." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s2c3a8.htm#695 Emmaus |

20 | Which sacrifices have ended? | Acts 2:46 | Emmaus | 174673 | ||
Luke, "This is as crazy and ignorant an approach to Scripture as the guy who asked for divine guidance and accidentally fingered the verse about how Judas "went and hanged himself" (Mt 27:5) and then fingered "Go, and do likewise" (Lk 10:37). "A Classic Misreading "the first thing we have to do in reading Scripture is realize that we are listening in on a conversation between the authors and an audience that is not us. That doesn't mean it doesn't apply to us. Rather it means that we can only apply it to ourselves once we realize how it was intended to be applied by the writer in the context of the lives of his audience. "A classic example of this is the shocking remark of the crowd at the crucifixion which is recorded in Matthew 27:25: "His blood be on us and on our children!" Matthew records this remark, not to declare the Jews "accursed," but to point out a sort of divine pun. "The irony of these words is, of course, that this is precisely the prayer of every Christian for himself. The mob is not calling down a curse on Jews in Matthew. It is unconsciously speaking prophetically, like Caiaphas when he says, "It is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish" (Jn 11:50). Matthew and his readers likewise get the divine pun. They see that what the mob intended for evil, God has turned to good. Every time we approach the cup we ask for His blood to be upon us. Every time we baptize our babies, we pray His blood will be upon our children. "But if we are not familiar with the way Matthew and his audience think, we can easily begin to make the error of so many Christians who did not see the divine pun and who therefore committed the heinous sin of pretending that "Jesus died because of Those Jews Over There, not because of me." In doing so, we effectively deny that Jesus died for our sins, a rather serious thing for a Christian to deny — and far more culpable than the average non-Christian who knows nothing of Jesus and comes no closer to knowing thanks to witless anti-Semites who heap the blame on Jews while forgetting that it was their own sins that put Jesus on the Cross." http://www.catholicexchange.com Mark P.
