21 | "nun" verse at Psalm 145:13 not in NASB | Bible general Archive 3 | Emmaus | 164652 | ||
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 |

23 | "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, 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 |

27 | 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 |

drciva, Have the "mutual friend" deliver the message that her infatuation and hope for a future with you is a delusion that will wreck the lives of her entire family as well as her own and possibly yours. Then avoid her like the plague, block her e-mails and whatever else is necessary to remove yourself from this situation. This is not a time to be gentle, but blunt. Better she hate you at this point.

30 | Gifts of the holy ghost | Bible general Archive 3 | Emmaus | 166864 | ||
Wonbyone, We need Jesus. In Him is the fulness of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. When we are batized into Him we received the holy Spirit and His gifts. “Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?" “Peter (said) to them, "Repent and be baptized, 7 every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit. “For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call." “He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." “Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day. Acts 2:37-40 “Jesus answered, "Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.” John 3:5 “not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit,” Titus 3:5 " THE GIFTS AND FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ”The moral life of Christians is sustained by the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These are permanent dispositions which make man docile in following the promptings of the Holy Spirit. ”The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. They belong in their fullness to Christ, Son of David.( Cf. Isa 11:1-2) They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations. ”Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.( Ps 143:10) For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God . . . If children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ.( Rom 8:14,17) ”The fruits of the Spirit are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory. The tradition of the Church lists twelve of them: "charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity."( Gal 5:22-23 (Vulg.).” The Catechism Emmaus |

36 | Why do Catholics pray to Mary | Bible general Archive 3 | Emmaus | 175489 | ||
tcl, Doctrinsograce suggested that I respond to your question since I am perhaps the only Catholic active on the forum over a long period of time. I will refer you to a thread from 2001 which I was involved in with Hank and some other members. That way you can get both sides of the conversation. Go to the Search box on the right side of the screen and enter the number 26328 and hour enter key. It will take you to the thread, which you can follow with the links shown as when you scrool dowwn the screen. But in a nutshell, praying "to" mary and the other saints, for a Catholic has to do with the communion of saints in Christ which is not broken by physical dead. It is like asking a friend to pray with you or for you. It's that simple. "Ther prayer of a righteous man ( or woman) availeth much" whether the righteous person is with us and in Christ or with Christ in heaven. That's how Catholics see it. Emmaus |

Huron, Tell him that life itself is a gift or grace from God and so is our ability to respond to God. How could he deny that? Our very existence and everything associated with it, even our ability to "work" however you define it, is pure grace. Emmaus |
