Any comWEDNESDAY, May 9 St. Gregory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke 6:27-38. For he is kind to the unthankful and those who are wicked. And aren't we glad? If God is kind to those who are wicked or unthankful (translation: us) then we are certain he will love us for trying to be like him. That means we should help others, even if they are pains- in-the-neck or pigs (like brothers) or just plain jerks, we should help them. That is what Jesus would do. Remember, God loves the jerks, and the little brothers, and all those pain-in-the-neck people. Also remember that to someone else you might be that pain-in-the-neck Jesus was talking about. If God has the patience to love you when you reject and ignore him, can you do less and still really call yourself his disciple? I know that I am not perfect, but knowing God loves me anyway makes it a lot easier to be nice to my little brother when he annoys me. God loves him as much as he loves me. And the nicest thing about this passage is that Jesus affirms all our hopes when he says that God loves all of us, even at our worst. Come with us, O blessed Jesus, With us evermore to be: And in leaving now thine altar, Let us nevermore leave thee! O let thine angel chorus Cease not the heavenly strain, But in us, thy loving children, Bring peace, good will to men. Ps 119:49-72; *Wisdom 4:165:8; Col. 1:242:7 *From the Apocrypha --Link to On-line Bible --Return to FMP Home Page ments on this devotional reading? |

23 | Bad kids all? | Not Specified | wist ye not | 4769 | ||
We are always hearing how bad the kids are these days are there any comments on this devotion written by one? SATURDAY, May 5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke 5:27-39. Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentanceÉ At school there are a few kids who are always made fun of. It's been like that since we were in junior high. I usually don't tease those kids, but I don't stop the teasing either. Most often I think, I'm glad it is not me they are making fun of. I'm glad I am accepted, at least enough not to be the butt of everyone's jokes. Jesus liked to turn things around on the Pharisees. He reached out to the sinners, the shunned, because they needed it. The Pharisees had their own kind of righteousness -- self-righteousness. They didn't think they needed help, and they didn't want any. They had it all figured out. They felt better about their spiritual lives if they thought they were better than the sinners and tax collectors. But obviously, they're not. They looked down on others, and Jesus bypassed them and went to those who knew they needed his love. I'm not saying the kids that are made fun of are as bad as "sinners and tax collectors," but those that make fun of them, and those that don't do anything about it, like me, should look into our hearts and see if maybe we're the ones that need healing.

27 | Agree now? | Bible general Archive 1 | wist ye not | 4362 | ||
The Apostles' Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. Would you agree with this? In an older translation where this one says "He descended to the dead." It would say, "descended into hell". So a modern translation of the Creed of St. Athanasius might say dead instead of hell. Would you agree then? But I suppose from what you say that you would not agree with this prayer, O God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Savior, the Prince of Peace: Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions; take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatever else may hinder us from godly union and concord; that, as there is but one Body and one Spirit, one hope of our calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may be all of one heart and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Yours in Christ Jesus, wist ye not |

28 | All scripture or not? | Bible general Archive 1 | wist ye not | 4275 | ||
Now you have observed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions, my sufferings, what befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra, what persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths. As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry. When exactly did the Jews reject the Apocrypha and why if not in reaction to the Christian use and exceptance of the Septuagint and all the books in it? |

What are the Sacraments? The sacraments are defined in the Prayer Book as "outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace, given by Christ as sure and certain means by which we receive that grace." This means that we recognize God as active and sustaining in our lives, and through the sacraments we participate in this sustaining and saving power. The two main sacraments in the Episcopal Church are the sacrament of Baptism, in which we are initiated into new life with Christ, and the Eucharist, in which we remember and celebrate Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. Baptism happens only once in a person's life, but the Eucharist is celebrated at least once a week. The other traditional rites that have sacramental character include confirmation, ordination, marriage, reconciliation (confession and absolution), and anointing of the sick. |

Version: RSV [Acts 16:31] And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." [Acts 16:32] And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house. [Acts 16:33.22] And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, with all his family. [Acts 16:34] Then he brought them up into his house, and set food before them; and he rejoiced with all his household that he had believed in God. Version: RSV [1Cor 7:14] For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is consecrated through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy. [1Cor 7:15] But if the unbelieving partner desires to separate, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace. [1Cor 7:16.9] Wife, how do you know whether you will save your husband? Husband, how do you know whether you will save your wife? |

36 | Does this explain Trinity? | Bible general Archive 1 | wist ye not | 4219 | ||
Does anyone disagree with this? The Creed of Saint Athanasius Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith. Which Faith except everyone do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And the Catholic Faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity, neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the Substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one, the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal. Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Ghost. The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate, and the Holy Ghost uncreate. The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible. The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Ghost eternal. And yet they are not three eternals, but one eternal. As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated, but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible. So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty, and the Holy Ghost Almighty. And yet they are not three Almighties, but one Almighty. Page 865 So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods, but one God. So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, and the Holy Ghost Lord. And yet not three Lords, but one Lord. For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge every Person by himself to be both God and Lord, So are we forbidden by the Catholic Religion, to say, There be three Gods, or three Lords. The Father is made of none, neither created, nor begotten. The Son is of the Father alone, not made, nor created, but begotten. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son, neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding. So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts. And in this Trinity none is afore, or after other; none is greater, or less than another; But the whole three Persons are co-eternal together and co-equal. So that in all things, as is aforesaid, the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped. He therefore that will be saved is must think thus of the Trinity. Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess, that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man; God, of the substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds; and Man of the substance of his Mother, born in the world; Perfect God and perfect Man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting. Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead; and inferior to the Father, as touching his manhood; Who, although he be God and Man, yet he is not two, but one Christ; One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh but by taking of the Manhood into God; One altogether; not by confusion of Substance, but by unity of Person. For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man, so God and Man is one Christ; Who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead. He ascended into heaven, he sitteth at the right hand of the Father, God Almighty, from whence he will come to judge the quick and the dead. At whose coming all men will rise again with their bodies and shall give account for their own works. And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting; and they that have done evil into everlasting fire. This is the *catholic Faith, which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved. *catholic means universal referring to the one church that Jesus Christ created. It is neither Roman Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, or Anglican. |

38 | Didn't Jesus use the Septuagint? | Bible general Archive 1 | wist ye not | 4212 | ||
Why did the early(1st century)Church including Jesus and the Apostles use the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament if it contained books or portions of books that were not of God? Wasn't the Hebrew canon of the OT as we now have it not made in reaction to the early Church's use and acceptance of the Septuagint? You say "the Protestant Bible does not" but what about the original 1611 King James Version? It has the Apocrypha. The King James most people use now is an edited version from about 1759. Why would the Holy Spirit let the majority of Christians(Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican)through the ages continue to use the "Apocrypha"? | ||||||
