184 | What does verse Romans 1:19-20 | Rom 1:19 | Emmaus | 157157 | ||
"God speaks to man through the visible creation. The material cosmos is so presented to man's intelligence that he can read there traces of its Creator. Light and darkness, wind and fire, water and earth, the tree and its fruit speak of God and symbolize both his greatness and his nearness. " http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p2s1c2a1.htm#II See Psalm 19:1-; Acts 17:26-28. "II. WAYS OF COMING TO KNOW GOD "31 Created in God's image and called to know and love him, the person who seeks God discovers certain ways of coming to know him. These are also called proofs for the existence of God, not in the sense of proofs in the natural sciences, but rather in the sense of "converging and convincing arguments", which allow us to attain certainty about the truth. These "ways" of approaching God from creation have a twofold point of departure: the physical world, and the human person. "32 The world: starting from movement, becoming, contingency, and the world's order and beauty, one can come to a knowledge of God as the origin and the end of the universe. "As St. Paul says of the Gentiles: For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made.7 And St. Augustine issues this challenge: Question the beauty of the earth, question the beauty of the sea, question the beauty of the air distending and diffusing itself, question the beauty of the sky. . . question all these realities. All respond: "See, we are beautiful." Their beauty is a profession [confessio]. These beauties are subject to change. Who made them if not the Beautiful One [Pulcher] who is not subject to change?8 "33 The human person: with his openness to truth and beauty, his sense of moral goodness, his freedom and the voice of his conscience, with his longings for the infinite and for happiness, man questions himself about God's existence. In all this he discerns signs of his spiritual soul. The soul, the "seed of eternity we bear in ourselves, irreducible to the merely material",9 can have its origin only in God. "34 The world, and man, attest that they contain within themselves neither their first principle nor their final end, but rather that they participate in Being itself, which alone is without origin or end. Thus, in different ways, man can come to know that there exists a reality which is the first cause and final end of all things, a reality "that everyone calls God".10 "35 Man's faculties make him capable of coming to a knowledge of the existence of a personal God. But for man to be able to enter into real intimacy with him, God willed both to reveal himself to man and to give him the grace of being able to welcome this revelation in faith. The proofs of God's existence, however, can predispose one to faith and help one to see that faith is not opposed to reason." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s1c1.htm#II |

185 | The dress code of the day? | Matt 22:11 | Emmaus | 156270 | ||
"Please remember, that Jesus is not telling of an event that occured. He is speaking a parable: A symbolic representation of something bigger than the words he used. There was no actual wedding. The wedding stands for something greater." Aquadisk I had exactly your point in mind when I answered and the references I gave, if looked at in context, address your point. Emmaus |

187 | Usury, extortion and the poor | Job 27:17 | Emmaus | 153406 | ||
seedling, Please read all of Psalm 37. Job 21:16 "Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand; The counsel of the wicked is far from me. Ps 37:7 Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. Ps 73:3 For I was envious of the arrogant As I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Jer 5:28 'They are fat, they are sleek, They also excel in deeds of wickedness; They do not plead the cause, The cause of the orphan, that they may prosper; And they do not defend the rights of the poor. Jer 12:1 Righteous are You, O LORD, that I would plead my case with You; Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You: Why has the way of the wicked prospered? Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease? Emmaus |

189 | What is a patron saint? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 153110 | ||
It means what I previously said about allowing the prayer to and veneration of a saint being part of the public litutgy of the Church. On a pactical level for public liturgy it means having a feast day for the saint on the Church calender. Worship is used in the archaic sense of honor not worship as of God but more worship as in honor of deference as in the old days when men holding certain public offices in England were referred to as "your worship" which is the antecednt of "your honor" here in the United States.

191 | What is a patron saint? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 153100 | ||
terrib, I don't think "exempt from purgatory" is how it is phrased, but a canonized saint is assumed to be in heaven. It is possible according to Catholic teaching that we can by the grace of God and our co-operation with that grace so sanctified as to avoid purgatory of the final cleansing before entering heaven. And yes there is an investiagtor and a requirement for two miracle attributed to the saint's intercession ( in and through Christ)for canonization. Cathoics can privately ask for the intecession in prayer of anyone they believe to be in Christ, whether in heaven or on earth. Canonoization formalizes and alllows that prayer to become a part of the public liturgy of the Church. In the investigation before canonization there is a also a party assigned to dispute the claim of those promoting the cause of canonization. In the past that person was called the Devil's Advocate and his job was to bring evidence to contradict the claims of sanctity, kind of like Satan in the book of Job. In fact there was a novel from the 1950's by that title, which I believe wa made into a movie. I will see if I can find a link on the subject for you. Emmaus |

bruren777, Shirley Ujest's post and referred to Joseph Smith, who died in 1844, studying the AKJV. I don't think an "Amplified King James Version" existed then. More like is that Ujest was conflating the titles "Authorized Version" and "King James Version" to come up with the "Authorized King James Version" or AKJV which is the same as the KJV. Emmaus |
