201 | What is a fatal sin? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 146876 | ||
gram25boys, Fatl or moratal sins are not necessarily unforgiveable, athough the Bible does speak on one sin, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, as unforgiveable. Murder, if sincerely repented of, can be forgiven as you see in the story of David and Uriah, Bathsheba's husband. I can not speak for others, but Catholics do distinguish between mortal sins and venial sins. At the link below you will find an explanation: http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c1a8.htm#III Emmaus |

Katherine, That is the interpretation of Revaltion 12:4 "And his tail *swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child." Emmaus |

207 | Job and Prodigal Son? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 146347 | ||
xbiblegrl69x, Ex-bible girl? Forget Job and the Prodigal Sone. They are irrelevant diversions and a changing of the subject, switching the pressure to you and from him. You don't even need a bible to figure this one out, just common sense. But a lot of people leave that behind when they leave the bible behind. Aside from suggesting you dump the boyfriend and start from scratch getting you life in order aloow me to ask this question: If you should happen to marry your boyfriend, will he think the ex-girlfriend should remain in your life. And if he marries someone else do you think she will want you to be in their life? Emmaus |

208 | Hebrew 6:6 and Hebrew 10:26 | Heb 12:8 | Emmaus | 146333 | ||
Ema, The context of Hebrews 6:4-8 and 12:26-29 indicates that it is apostacy from the Christian faith that is being discussed. See also Hebrews 3:12. I don't think what you are descibing necessarily falls into that category. Emmaus |

209 | Where in Bible was Luke saved | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 146194 | ||
Who introduced Luke to salavtion is not indicated in Scripture, but Luke 1:1-4 would seem to indicate it may have been one of the Apostles or an early disciple who was an eyewitness to Jesus's ministry. | ||||||
210 | New body? | 1 Cor 15:52 | Emmaus | 146129 | ||
"How do the dead rise? "What is "rising"? In death, the separation of the soul from the body, the human body decays and the soul goes to meet God, while awaiting its reunion with its glorified body. God, in his almighty power, will definitively grant incorruptible life to our bodies by reuniting them with our souls, through the power of Jesus' Resurrection. Who will rise? All the dead will rise, "those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment." (Jn 5:29; cf. Dan 12:2) How? Christ is raised with his own body: "See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself"; (Lk 24:39) but he did not return to an earthly life. So, in him, "all of them will rise again with their own bodies which they now bear," but Christ "will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body," into a "spiritual body":( Phil 3:21; 2 Cor 15:44) But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?" You foolish man! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. And what you sow is not the body which is to be, but a bare kernel. . . . What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. . . . The dead will be raised imperishable. . . . For this perishable nature must put on the imperishable, and this mortal nature must put on immortality. (1 Cor 15:35-37,42,52,53) 1000 This "how" exceeds our imagination and understanding; it is accessible only to faith. Yet our participation in the Eucharist already gives us a foretaste of Christ's transfiguration of our bodies: Just as bread that comes from the earth, after God's blessing has been invoked upon it, is no longer ordinary bread, but Eucharist, formed of two things, the one earthly and the other heavenly: so too our bodies, which partake of the Eucharist, are no longer corruptible, but possess the hope of resurrection. (St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 4,18,4-5:PG 7/1,1028-1029) 1001 When? Definitively "at the last day," "at the end of the world." (Jn 6: 39-40,44,54; 11:24) Indeed, the resurrection of the dead is closely associated with Christ's Parousia: For the Lord himself will descend from heaven, with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.( 1 Thess 4:16)" http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p123a11.htm#996 |

211 | What is the importance of the Lamb? | Ex 12:1 | Emmaus | 146118 | ||
Barbara, As EdB pointed out, the lamb of Exodus 12 and the lambs of all the subsequent Passover celebrations are types or forshadowings of Jesus Christ, the "Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world."(John 1:29) "Happy are those who are called to the Supper of the Lamb."(Revelation 19:9) Holy Communion is our Passover celebration and a pledge of anticipation of our ultimate wedding feast of the lamb in the heavenly Jerusalem, when the Church has its final Passover into glory.

212 | Under part of the Law? | Col 2:14 | Emmaus | 146116 | ||
Mark, Col 2:14 "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" I have heard this explanation. In those days when a man was in debt to the point of bankruptcy, the document was posted on his door. Whoever paid (redemmed) the debt took possession of the note and the debtor then became bondservant or slave of the one who paid the debt. God goes one better by making us more than servants and slaves. He takes us in and makes us his childrena and members of His household. Emmaus |

213 | Under part of the Law? | Col 2:14 | Emmaus | 146115 | ||
Mark, I would say that justification is more than a forensic act. It is a transforming act of God's grace by which we are transformed from slaves to sons in the household of God (Rom 68:14-15; Gal 4:1-7, 23-27). We become new creatures (2 Cor 5:17). A sone obeys God's (his Father)law out of love, but a slave obeys under contraint and out of fear. Fear(awe)of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. But their are two kinds of fear of the Lord; the filial fear of a son and the servile fear of the slave. One obeys because he is graced, the other obeys because he is required to do so by the law.

217 | Silver cord, golden bowl, pitcher broken | Eccl 1:1 | Emmaus | 145912 | ||
Tamar, The NAB footnote on Ecclesiastes 12:6 "The golden bowl suspended by the silver cord was a symbol of life; the snapping of the cord and the breaking of the bowl, a symbol of death. The pitcher . . . the broken pulley: another pair of metaphors for life and its ending." Emmaus |

218 | what do my heart mean in this verse | Ps 139:23 | Emmaus | 145877 | ||
"The heart is the dwelling-place where I am, where I live; according to the Semitic or Biblical expression, the heart is the place "to which I withdraw." The heart is our hidden center, beyond the grasp of our reason and of others; only the Spirit of God can fathom the human heart and know it fully. The heart is the place of decision, deeper than our psychic drives. It is the place of truth, where we choose life or death. It is the place of encounter, because as image of God we live in relation: it is the place of covenant." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/2563.htm "The heart is the seat of moral personality: "Out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication. . . . " The struggle against carnal covetousness entails purifying the heart and practicing temperance: Remain simple and innocent, and you will be like little children who do not know the evil that destroys man's life. " http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/2517.htm "The "pure in heart" are promised that they will see God face to face and be like him. Purity of heart is the precondition of the vision of God. Even now it enables us to see according to God, to accept others as "neighbors"; it lets us perceive the human body - ours and our neighbor's - as a temple of the Holy Spirit, a manifestation of divine beauty." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/2519.htm Emmaus |

219 | what does deeds mean in this verse. | James 2:14 | Emmaus | 145876 | ||
sherrisunshine, "The works of mercy are charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our neighbor in his spiritual and bodily necessities.(Cf. Isa 58:6-7; Heb 13:3) Instructing, advising, consoling, comforting are spiritual works of mercy, as are forgiving and bearing wrongs patiently. The corporal works of mercy consist especially in feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned, and burying the dead.(Cf. Mt 25:31-46) Among all these, giving alms to the poor is one of the chief witnesses to fraternal charity: it is also a work of justice pleasing to God:(Mt 6:2-4) He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none and he who has food must do likewise.(Lk 3:11) But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, everything is clean for you.(Lk 11:41) If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit?(Jas 2:15-16; cf. 1 Jn 3:17)" http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s2c2a7.htm#2447 Emmaus |

220 | what does deeds mean in this verse. | James 2:14 | Emmaus | 145874 | ||
sherrisunshine. Try the NASB translation. James 2:14 "What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?" And take a look at Matthew 24:31-45. In traditional Christian theology Jesus in this section is describing what are called "the Works of Mercy." Emmaus |
