1 | A Thought-provoking question | Bible general Archive 3 | Emmaus | 164161 | ||
taraleigh, "For our sake God made him to be sin" "Consequently, St. Peter can formulate the apostolic faith in the divine plan of salvation in this way: "You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers. . . with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake."(1 Pt 1:18-20) Man's sins, following on original sin, are punishable by death.(Cf. Rom 5:12; 1 Cor 15:56) By sending his own Son in the form of a slave, in the form of a fallen humanity, on account of sin, God "made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."(2 Cor 5:21; cf. Phil 2:7; Rom 8:3) "Jesus did not experience reprobation as if he himself had sinned.(Cf. Jn 8:46) But in the redeeming love that always united him to the Father, he assumed us in the state of our waywardness of sin, to the point that he could say in our name from the cross: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"(Mk 15:34; Ps 22:2; cf. Jn 8:29) Having thus established him in solidarity with us sinners, God "did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all", so that we might be "reconciled to God by the death of his Son".(Rom 8:32; 5:10)" http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a4p2.htm#602 Emmaus |

2 | "nun" verse at Psalm 145:13 not in NASB | Bible general Archive 3 | Emmaus | 164652 | ||
Commandment keeper, You seem to think calling (other) Christians pagans is being charitable. I really do wish you would have a merry Christmas whenever you think you should celebrate the birth of our Savior. Surely you believe that the coming of Jesus is a good thing worthy of joy and celebration. It is after all the Good news of the Gospel. The Scriptures are full of passages that speak of the joy at the coming of the Meassiah. Emmaus |

Commandment keeper, You misunderstand so much, especially about the Catholic Church to which I belong. The Church does not say that December 25th is the birthday of Jeusus, it merely chooses to celebrate the birth of Jesus on that day since we do not know the exact day of His birth. And if that steals Satan's thunder and a pagan holiday and makes it a Christian Holyday, all the better, because all days and all time belongs to Christ. I say let's take over every single day and celebrate Christ on everyday and all the events of His life on various days. That is what the liturgical calendar is all about, sancrifying time and claiming it for Christ. What? We should leave the days in the control of the pagans? God forbid! More Holydays and Christian feast days, 365 days a year! Celebrate Jesus! Christmas and Easter everyday. Alleleuia! The celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus is only called Easter in English, no other language, and we all know in the English Christian context it means the Resuurection of Christ. In evey other language it is another word. Try Spanish for examle, in which it is called Pasch if I am not mistaked. What argument would you make against Pasch? That old "Easter refers to a pagan goddess" argument won't fly in that language and culture and they celeberate the same Resurrection in the same way we do on the same day. And that day changes evry year. Emmaus |

Commandment keeper, I was not offended by your wishing me luck. I was making a point about misunderstanding things and accusing others of being unbiblical. I know you meant well, but if others split hairs and come to false understandings we could say luck has nothing to do with God's grace and our responsibility, luck is about the pagan concept of fate. I know that is not what you meant, but that is the kind of misunderstas\nding and misinterpretation you are making of others and what they say and do in a Christian context. God bless you! Emmaus |

drciva, Have the "mutual friend" deliver the message that her infatuation and hope for a future with you is a delusion that will wreck the lives of her entire family as well as her own and possibly yours. Then avoid her like the plague, block her e-mails and whatever else is necessary to remove yourself from this situation. This is not a time to be gentle, but blunt. Better she hate you at this point.

Diaryleader, I did not know there was a difference. According to Romans 6 the one baptism is how we become a member of the one body of Christ. That is why Paul is consistent in placing them together in Ephesians 4 also. I am always amazed at talk of "water baptism" as if it is somehow different from "spirit baptism"? The are one and the same. We are "born of water and the spirit" according to Jesus in John 3:5. Parse His words if you like, but I think I will pass on that. You may as well says we are saved by the Spirit of Christ but not by His body on the cross and His bodily resurrection. As for Rev 2:4-6 you will have to be more direct. I do not get the point you are trying to make there. Emmaus |

Diaryleader, I would like your opinion on another passage. In 2 Kings 5, Elisha told Naaman the leper to plunge himself into the Jordan to be healed. Naaman balked but was persuade to obey and was healed. Now was it the "water baptism" that healed him or just God's Spirit? Do you think maybe God's Spirit was working in and through the water? Maybe? Do you think this might be a foreshadowing of baptism? Maybe? Do you think God would have saved Naaman from his leprosy if Naaman had just asked God into his heart but refused to obey the command to go into the Jordan or if Naaman had said, I will obey this ordinance after I am saved from leprosy and then only as a public sign of my commitment as a believer in the God of Israel because I know that the river Jordan is just a dirtly little trickle compared to my rivers at home, that little bit of water can't do anything for me? (2 Kings 5:10-12)Does Naaman's argument sound familiar? I like to take the broad view of Scripture. I notice that God often works through physical matter and His "signs" have more power than mere symbols. Emmaus |

Diaryleader, So the Old Testament saints were saved not by grace through faith but by the Law? Then what did we need Jesus for? We could have just been saved under the Law by being baptised into Moses (1 Cor 10:1-4). Baptism is not a work of the person being baptised but rather a work of Christ in and through His body, the Church. God can work outside His normative means (baptism)but baptism is the norm according to scripture. He tells the Church to preach, teach and baptize in the great commission. So it is Christ through the body of Christ that works in baptism not the person being baptized. There were other foreshadowings of baptism in the Old Testament as the New Testament makes clear in 1 Cor 10:1-4, 1 Peter 3:20. Just as the water used by God in the time of Noah and Moses washed away sin and God's enemies and saved His chosen poeple so God through the waters of baptism destroys / washes away sin and saves His people when we are baptised into the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is not an either or option: either water or the Spirit, but rather a both and situation of water and the Spirit. A few OT examples of water and the Spirit together: Genesis 1:2 Genesis 7 and 8 Exodus 14 Joshua 3 and 4 2 Kings 5 Water and fire are often associated in scripture with the holy Spirit because they both have the power to purify or destroy. They cane destroy as if by flood or uncontrolled fire or save as if by drinks of cleaning or warming and buring away of dross or contagion. My primary point (with which you may not agree)is that the separation of water and the Spirit when looking at baptism is artificaial and not in line with Scripture. I agree with you on John's baptism. Emmaus |

Jibbs, Who needs faith or hope if one has "absolute assurance." Are the two not mutually exclusive. If one is wrong in their assertion of eternal security, their security will not be eternal and if one is insecure about their election but is among the elect they will not be eternally insecure but only temporarily so. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for" Hebrews 11:1. "But hope seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees" Romans 8:24 What position better displays the Christian of humility; absolute assurance or prayeful trust in God. A beautiful illustration of an attitude of humility is found in the reply of a saint to a question posed as a trap by her ecclesiastical judges: Asked if she knew that she was in God's grace, she replied: "If I am not, may it please God to put me in it; if I am, may it please God to keep me there." God gets the glory either way. She was burned at the stake for heresy, but not for failing to assert her absolute eternal security; Her questioners would have found that to be heresy. Instead she was convicted on other trumped up charges, just like the Savior she followed and was burned at the stake anyway. She was Joan of Arc, later canonized as a saint by the same Church whose corrupt English clerical court had condemned her, though they professed the same faith. They were a lot more sure of themselves than she was, but nobody even remembers their names and their eternal fate is even less certain. Emmaus |

Jibbs, It's not your assurance that disturbs me but its absolute infallibility in your own mind. The only Person that has absolute as opposed to moral assurance about who is saved and who is not is God. The latter requires humility, the former tends toward arrogance. You seem to say you can see with absolute assurance the thing you hope for? Sounds to me like something other than hope or faith. Faith and hope are unnecessary for one so assured. That may be why they seem to others so lacking in charity also. It sounds like your faith is in your own faith rather than in God. The kind of faith Eve had after talking to the serpent. At least that is the way I see it. Emmaus |

Godsays, My grade school theology professors were nuns, but we also covered this with the same teachers over and over and over again in English class, right after the early years of phonics. I think a lot of basic language ground work has been lost for young students in the generations after mine. I was in grade school in the 50's. Emmaus |

19 | what qualifies christ to be our reconcil | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 98869 | ||
Cyndie, The answer is still Christ's divine nature along with His human nature in the incaration. Thus in the flesh of the God Man, Jesus Christ, God and man are reconciled. He is "the visible image of the invisible God." Through Him we become partakers of the divine nature. "The Word became flesh to make us 'PARTAKERS of the divine nature':[2 Pet 1:4 .] 'For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God.'[St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 3, 19, 1: PG 7/1, 939.] 'For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.'[St. Athanasius, De inc. 54, 3: PG 25, 192B.] 'The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods.'[St. Thomas Aquinas, Opusc. 57, 1-4.]" "Man is predestined to reproduce the image of God's Son made man, the 'image of the invisible God' (COL 1:15), so that Christ shall be the first-born of a multitude of brothers and sisters (cf. Eph 1:3-6; Rom 8:29)." . "To human beings God even gives the power of freely sharing in his providence by entrusting them with the responsibility of 'subduing' the earth and having dominion over it.[Cf. Gen 1:26-28 .] God thus enables men to be intelligent and free causes in order to complete the work of creation, to perfect its harmony for their own good and that of their neighbours. Though often unconscious collaborators with God's will, they can also enter deliberately into the divine plan by their actions, their prayers and their sufferings.[Cf. COL 1:24.] They then fully become 'God's fellow workers' and co-workers for his kingdom.[1 Cor 3:9 ; 1 Th 3:2 ; COL 4:11.]" "Christ's whole life is a mystery of redemption. Redemption comes to us above all through the blood of his cross,[Cf. Eph 1:7 ; COL 1:13-14; 1 Pet 1:18-19 .] but this mystery is at work throughout Christ's entire life: -already in his Incarnation through which by becoming poor he enriches us with his poverty;[Cf. 2 Cor 8:9 .] - in his hidden life which by his submission atones for our disobedience;[Cf. Lk 2:51 .] - in his word which purifies its hearers;[Cf. Jn 15:3 .]- in his healings and exorcisms by which 'he took our infirmities and bore our diseases';[Mt 8:17 ; cf. Is 53:4 .] - and in his Resurrection by which he justifies us.[Cf. Rom 4:25 .]" "The cross is the unique sacrifice of Christ, the 'one mediator between God and men'.[1 Tim 2:5 .] But because in his incarnate divine person he has in some way united himself to every man, 'the possibility of being made partners, in a way known to God, in the paschal mystery' is offered to all men.[GS 22 # 5; cf. Emmaus |
