3 | 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.

4 | the nation Israel referred to as a woman | OT general | Emmaus | 174432 | ||
Tim 3:16, Here are a few more references for you. "We see this promise of "messianic nuptials" with increasing intensity in the writings of the prophets (see Hosea 2:16-25; Jeremiah 2:1-2; 3:1, 6-12; Ezekiel 16; Isaiah 50:1; 54:4-8; 62:4-5), in certain Psalms (see for example Psalm 45) and other Old Testament writings (See Song of Songs). "In Hosea, we have the clearest description of God's intentions. There, in language reminiscent of Genesis, God promises a new covenant with creation that will be capped by His marriage to Israel forever (see Hosea 2:20-21; Genesis 1:20-21,24-25). "In the Song of Songs, which symbolically depicts the wedding of God to His people, wine is also the sign of their joyful union (see Song of Songs 1:2,4; 4:10; 5:1; 7:3,9; 8:2).

8 | Divorce for no sexual life ever - OK? | Matt 19:9 | Emmaus | 171020 | ||
Searcher, If a marriage has been consumnated and one party due to illness or injury is no longer able to engage in normal sexual relations, the marriage is still valid and binding. This is not an unusal circumstance and no fraud is involved. Emmaus |

9 | Divorce for no sexual life ever - OK? | Matt 19:9 | Emmaus | 171013 | ||
Jeff, There is no divorce when there is no true marriage, there is only a judgement of nullity, i.e. that a marriage never existed despite the appearance that one did exist. Ther is no debate because there is no legitimate marriage to be debated. I refer you to Kalos' post on the scriptual meaning of "one flesh" and its relationship to marriage. Emmaus |

Jeff, If nana was your daughter would you be giving this advice to her in her situation? Do you have a daughter? This is not a theoretical question. God law is that we not lie when entering into sacred bonds. A marriage vow that is based on a lie is no vow at all but fraud. It is akin to perjury. It is really a hard issue when scripture is applied selectively. Emmaus |

Jeff, Please tell me scripturally how a man and a woman can become "one flesh" i.e. married, without consumating their union "in the flesh." We are men not angels. the fact that something is recoggnized in law does not mean that it may not also be scriptural. Emmaus |

Jeff, To marry one must be able to perform the primary duty of marriage with one's partner. If your hypthetical should take plce the parties may commit to stay together out of love, which would be wonderful, but hypotheticals do not trump the ordinary realities and especially not the real situation which started this thread, which I was addressing and for which I provided scripture when challanged by my friend Searcher.

Searcher, Scripture says that a husband and wife will "become one flesh." Where there is no consummation they do not "become one flesh" and there is no binding marriage unless both parties have agreed to this beforehand. A sacred or holy act, i.e. marriage, cannot be based on a sin (lie) of ommission, which the failure to dislose impotence is. Emmaus |

nana1977, What you are decribing may be grounds for a legal annulment. No marriage has ever been consummated. There is literally no "union." And she was married under false pretenses if he did not tell her of his impotence. |

17 | HOW MUCH IS 30 SILVER COINS WORTH? | Zech 11:13 | Emmaus | 169863 | ||
Since it was the chief priest of the Temple who paid Judas the 30 pieces of silver, it is more likely they used the Temple coins. I believe that the 30 pieces reference was intended by Matthew to bring to mind the prophecy of Zechariah. Matthew is full of this kind of allusions to Old Testament passages. | ||||||
18 | If we told Jesus the whole truth... | Mark 5:33 | Emmaus | 169726 | ||
Kalos, It seems to me from reading the passage that the woman was healed and the miracle occurred in verse 29 before she "told Jesus everything" in verse 34. That being said, spiritual healing, the greatest miracle of which physical healing is only a shadow often, often requires an admission of our spiritually sick state. Sin like an addiction requires an admission of of our inability to save ourselves and the need of God and His power to change that state. So, "if we admit our sins, He is quick to forgive us." On the other hand if we are like the Pharisee in the parable of the Phrarisee and the Publican and do not admit our sinful state we will not be saved, the greatest miracle of all. One of the early Church fathers writing about the Sacrament of Confession, put it this way: "if are not willing to show our wound to the physician, he cannot heal it." The same applies to the confession of our sinfulness and the need of God's healing. The women with the issue of blood knew that physicians could not cure her only the touch of Jesus, even if only the touch of the fringe of his garment. It is interesting that under Levitical law anyone or anything touched by a menstrating woman became ritually inclean. But Jesus Jesus reverses this. When someone unclean , the woman, lepers, touch Him or are touches by him, they become clean. The power of God is greater than the power of the world or sin. Emmaus |
