163 | reference to praying for the dead | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 126407 | ||
"Can someone tell me if there is reference to praying for the dead in the Bible." There is in Catholic bibles in 2 Macabees 12:42 -46 "Turning to supplication, they prayed that the sinful deed might be fully blotted out. The noble Judas warned the soldiers to keep themselves free from sin, for they had seen with their own eyes what had happened because of the sin of those who had fallen. He then took up a collection among all his soldiers, amounting to two thousand silver drachmas, which he sent to Jerusalem to provide for an expiatory sacrifice. In doing this he acted in a very excellent and noble way, inasmuch as he had the resurrection of the dead in view; for if he were not expecting the fallen to rise again, it would have been useless and foolish to pray for them in death. But if he did this with a view to the splendid reward that awaits those who had gone to rest in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be freed from this sin." The Jews still pray for their dead. Emmaus |

166 | Where is God? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 126922 | ||
Schoolman, I understand your situation well. I think at some point we have to stop knocking and asking and starting looking and listening for God in every situation. We have to look around us and say. Where is God in this situation and what is is He trying to say to me or teach me or ask me to do? I have found that helpful for the application of the Christian life in me. I also recommend praying the Psalms. You can't get too much of them. If you time is limited focus in prayer on the Gospels and Psalm in equal measure. Knowing God is not so much a head thing or an intellectual exercise as it is an exercise of the heart. I hope this helps you some. Emmaus |

167 | Do portals exist between heaven n earth? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 126940 | ||
daughter of Glenn, I think J Crichton offered the best answer. Better than my first one. The word portal is actually a synonym for door and door is one of the descriptions of portal in the dictionary. That is why doorkeepers are often called porters. They receive quests at the door or portal and help then with their luggage. JCrichton said Jesus was the only portal. I think she is correct. John 10:7 So Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. John 10:9 "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. Emmaus |

FTYRobert, Here is an excerpt from the cdocument I referred you to. 'The Sunday obligation 46. Since the Eucharist is the very heart of Sunday, it is clear why, from the earliest centuries, the Pastors of the Church have not ceased to remind the faithful of the need to take part in the liturgical assembly. "Leave everything on the Lord's Day", urges the third century text known as the Didascalia, "and run diligently to your assembly, because it is your praise of God. Otherwise, what excuse will they make to God, those who do not come together on the Lord's Day to hear the word of life and feed on the divine nourishment which lasts forever?".(75) The faithful have generally accepted this call of the Pastors with conviction of soul and, although there have been times and situations when this duty has not been perfectly met, one should never forget the genuine heroism of priests and faithful who have fulfilled this obligation even when faced with danger and the denial of religious freedom, as can be documented from the first centuries of Christianity up to our own time. In his first Apology addressed to the Emperor Antoninus and the Senate, Saint Justin (151 A.D.) proudly described the Christian practice of the Sunday assembly, which gathered in one place Christians from both the city and the countryside.(76) When, during the persecution of Diocletian, their assemblies were banned with the greatest severity, many were courageous enough to defy the imperial decree and accepted death rather than miss the Sunday Eucharist. This was the case of the martyrs of Abitina (304 A.D.), in Proconsular Africa, who replied to their accusers: "Without fear of any kind we have celebrated the Lord's Supper, because it cannot be missed; that is our law"; "We cannot live without the Lord's Supper". As she confessed her faith, one of the martyrs said: "Yes, I went to the assembly and I celebrated the Lord's Supper with my brothers and sisters, because I am a Christian".(77) 47. Even if in the earliest times it was not judged necessary to be prescriptive, the Church has not ceased to confirm this obligation of conscience, which rises from the inner need felt so strongly by the Christians of the first centuries. It was only later, faced with the half-heartedness or negligence of some, that the Church had to make explicit the duty to attend Sunday Mass: more often than not, this was done in the form of exhortation, but at times the Church had to resort to specific canonical precepts. This was the case in a number of local Councils from the fourth century onwards (as at the Council of Elvira of 300, which speaks not of an obligation but of penalties after three absences)(78) and most especially from the sixth century onwards (as at the Council of Agde in 506).(79) These decrees of local Councils led to a universal practice, the obligatory character of which was taken as something quite normal.(80) The Code of Canon Law of 1917 for the first time gathered this tradition into a universal law.(81) The present Code reiterates this, saying that "on Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to attend Mass".(82) This legislation has normally been understood as entailing a grave obligation: this is the teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church,(83) and it is easy to understand why if we keep in mind how vital Sunday is for the Christian life."

Rev 7:17 for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes."

174 | Our confession of sin and God's response | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 128435 | ||
Pia, Gos is aware of our sins, although we often act as if we are not aware of them. Take a look at the story in Luke 18:9-14 "And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.' "But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!' "I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted." The confession of sins "1455 The confession (or disclosure) of sins, even from a simply human point of view, frees us and facilitates our reconciliation with others. Through such an admission man looks squarely at the sins he is guilty of, takes responsibility for them, and thereby opens himself again to God and to the communion of the Church in order to make a new future possible." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p2s2c2a4.htm#IX Emmaus |

Or the Nicean Creed which elaborates a little on the Apsotles Creed.

(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. (Luke 23: 53; 1 Corinthians 15: 4) And on the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures, (Luke 24: 1 1 Corinthians 15: 4) and ascended into heaven, (Luke 24: 51; Acts 1: 10) and sits at the right hand of the Father; (Mark 16: 19; Acts 7: 55) and He shall come again in glory (Matthew 24: 27) to judge the living and the dead; (Acts 10: 42; 2 Timothy 4: 1) and His Kingdom shall have no end.

(Acts 2: 42; Ephesians 2: 19-22) I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. (Ephesians 4: 5; Acts 2:38) I look for the resurrection of the dead, (John 11: 24; Romans 6:5; 1 Corinthians 15: 12-49; Hebrews 6: 2; Revelation 20: 5) and the life in the world to come. (Mark 10: 29-30) AMEN. (Psalm 106: 48) Emmaus |

Mike, There is no "best" way to pray. Prayer in a form of communion and communication wih God. As such it can take many forms but includes litenening as well as speaking. Your conversation with God may be formal or informal, praise, pettion, confession etc. Here are two links about prayer that you may find helpful. http://198.62.75.1/www1/CDHN/part4.html http://198.62.75.1/www1/CDHN/part4_2.html Emmaus |
