101 | sSam 22 and Ps. 18 | 1 Sam 23:17 | Emmaus | 164853 | ||
Jamesglenn, Second question first. The foreigner who returned to praise God was a Sam,aritan. They followed and accepted only the five books of Moses and they had a temple on Mt. Gerazim. So it is likely this Samaritan would have gone to his own Samaritan in priest for the ritual cleansing and pronunciation of cleaness after he was healed and cleansed of his leprosy. But he went back first to Jesu and gave thanks. Jesus mentions his faith. That is not mentioned about the other nine. This incident in Luke 17:11-18 has to be seen in context with Luke 4:16-29. First question last. 2 Samuel 22:1 makes it clear that the time is when David is young and on the run from Saul who is after him. Psalm 18 is about the same timeframe but written from two perspectives perspectives; (v 5-20) from a heavenly perspective and (v 36-46) from and earthly perspective. Here is the NAB opening and its footnote on Psalm 18. Psalms Chapter 18 1 For the leader. Of David, the servant of the LORD, who sang to the LORD the words of this song after the LORD had rescued him from the clutches of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. 2 He said: I love you, LORD, my strength, 3 LORD, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, My God, my rock of refuge, my shield, my saving horn, my stronghold! 1 [Psalm 18] A royal thanksgiving for a military victory, duplicated in 2 Sam 22. Thanksgiving psalms are in essence reports of divine rescue. The psalm has two parallel reports of rescue, the first told from a heavenly perspective (Psalm 18:5-20), and the second from an earthly perspective (Psalm 18:36-46). The first report adapts old mythic language of a cosmic battle between sea and rainstorm in order to depict God's rescue of the Israelite king from his enemies. Each report has a short hymnic introduction (Psalm 18:2-4, 32-36) and conclusion (Psalm 18:21-31, 47-50). http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/psalms/psalm18.htm Emmaus |

102 | What is God' economy? | Bible general Archive 3 | Emmaus | 164838 | ||
Nubeaux, "Economy" loosley translated means "household plan" God's economy is His plane of salvation for His family. "In the Symbol of the faith the Church confesses the mystery of the Holy Trinity and of the plan of God's "good pleasure" for all creation: the Father accomplishes the "mystery of his will" by giving his beloved Son and his Holy Spirit for the salvation of the world and for the glory of his name. (Eph 1:9) Such is the mystery of Christ, revealed and fulfilled in history according to the wisely ordered plan that St. Paul calls the "plan of the mystery"(Eph 3:9; cf 3:4) and the patristic tradition will call the "economy of the Word incarnate" or the "economy of salvation." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p2.htm#1066 Go to the link below and type “economy of salavtion” into the search box for more. http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/ccc_toc2.htm Emmaus |

105 | "nun" verse at Psalm 145:13 not in NASB | Bible general Archive 3 | Emmaus | 164659 | ||
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 |

106 | "nun" verse at Psalm 145:13 not in NASB | Bible general Archive 3 | Emmaus | 164658 | ||
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, 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 |

Debra, Scripture does not make it clear what month Jesus was born. The date for the celebration of the birth of Jesus was chosen by the was Church.

112 | do you have a bible reference? | Galatians | Emmaus | 164570 | ||
Debra, No biblical reference. It is a historical fact. The context of the letter to the Galatians also helps. Paul had converted the Gentile Galatians to the Gospel. If you read his letter to the Galatians you will see that the reason he was upset with then is that they were listening to Judeizer (Jewish Christians)who were telling them that they had to become Jews and be circumcised before they could become Christians. Here is a link you will find helpful. http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/galatians/intro.htm Emmaus |

115 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 164252 | ||
Mark, Thank you for your kind comments. I hope you won't retract them when I make this next point. You wrote: "I consider that salvation comes, on my part at least, through an act of will rather than an act of behavior. I believe that I become born again when I choose to repent, and to obey Christ." But the Bible says: "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:12-13 and Jesus taught us to pray "Thy kingdom come and HE prayed in the Garden of Gethsmene: "not my will but your will" (Matthew 26:39). It is only when our will is aligned with the Father's will that anything we do is in Christ and that alignment of will itself comes by the grace of God, though we co-operate with that grace in accepting it.

116 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 164240 | ||
Mark, "Ephesians 2 tells us we are saved by faith, and not of works (not just works of the Law of Moses, but any works). Baptism is a work, therefore, how could it save us?" Those who believe in baptismal regenration believe that baptism is a work of Christ, not a work of man. It is Christ who baptizes, working in and through His body, which is the Church.(Romans 6:4; 7:4; 12:5; 1 Cor 12:27; Eph 3:6; 4:12; Matt 28:19) The Catechism: "1088 "To accomplish so great a work" - the dispensation or communication of his work of salvation - "Christ is always present in his Church, especially in her liturgical celebrations. He is present in the Sacrifice of the Mass not only in the person of his minister, 'the same now offering, through the ministry of priests, who formerly offered himself on the cross,' but especially in the Eucharistic species. By his power he is present in the sacraments so that when anybody baptizes, it is really Christ himself who baptizes. He is present in his word since it is he himself who speaks when the holy Scriptures are read in the Church. Lastly, he is present when the Church prays and sings, for he has promised 'where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst of them."'Matthew 18:20)" "1084 "Seated at the right hand of the Father" and pouring out the Holy Spirit on his Body which is the Church, Christ now acts through the sacraments he instituted to communicate his grace. The sacraments are perceptible signs (words and actions) accessible to our human nature. By the action of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit they make present efficaciously the grace that they signify." "1127 Celebrated worthily in faith, the sacraments confer the grace that they signify.48 They are efficacious because in them Christ himself is at work: it is he who baptizes, he who acts in his sacraments in order to communicate the grace that each sacrament signifies. The Father always hears the prayer of his Son's Church which, in the epiclesis of each sacrament, expresses her faith in the power of the Spirit. As fire transforms into itself everything it touches, so the Holy Spirit transforms into the divine life whatever is subjected to his power." "1128 This is the meaning of the Church's affirmation49 that the sacraments act ex opere operato (literally: "by the very fact of the action's being performed"), i.e., by virtue of the saving work of Christ, accomplished once for all. It follows that "the sacrament is not wrought by the righteousness of either the celebrant or the recipient, but by the power of God."50 From the moment that a sacrament is celebrated in accordance with the intention of the Church, the power of Christ and his Spirit acts in and through it, independently of the personal holiness of the minister. Nevertheless, the fruits of the sacraments also depend on the disposition of the one who receives them.

117 | 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 |
