Angels are God's messengers. They appear to many throughout the Bible for various purposes and withe various messages.

2203 | Song of Praise - in Daniel? | Dan 3:24 | Emmaus | 28026 | ||
Sorrry, I forgot to include the link to the Song of Praise as I promised in my first post. Here it is: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/daniel/daniel3.htm |

2204 | Song of Praise - in Daniel? | Dan 3:24 | Emmaus | 28023 | ||
You are probably looking for the Song of the Three Men in the Fiery Furnance which is found in Daniel in Catholic versions of the bible at Daniel 3:24-90. That passage was in the Greek Septuagint translation of Greek speaking Jews of the diaspora and used by early Christians, but was left out of the Protestant canon and the Jewish canon of Scripture. Here is a link for you to Daniel 3 of the New American Bible which has the passage for which you are looking. It is a beautiful passage. In Catholic bibles the verse you quoted is Daniel 3:91 immediately after the Song of Praise. Merry Christmas! Emmaus |

2205 | Was Adam there at that moment? | Gen 3:6 | Emmaus | 27983 | ||
All the Hebrew pronouns and verbs used in the account of the temptation and fall are in the plural (twelve times in seven verses)indicating Adam was right there. This would also explain why Adam so easily accepted the fruit from Eve. He had already heard the exchange between Eve and the serpent. He also failed in his charge from God to "tend" or "guard" the garden. He allowed the serpent to take the offensive and put Eve on the defensive and did not respond to the serpent's misrepresentations of God's words. Consider how differently Jesus, the new Adam, responded to his temptation after his fourty days in the desert in Matthew 4. |

2206 | John 13:26 is this communion (Lord's Su | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 27961 | ||
Grampa, John 13:26 would seem more a discription of the common practice in ancient and even modern Near East meals to take bread and dip it into the content of various bowls. It is interesting that John's Gospel does not give a eucharistic institution narrative as do the three synotic Gospels. John focuses more on the foot washing, the discourses and the priestly prayer of Jesus. John seems to address the eucharist in John 6, the bread of life discourses. The other three Gospels say "while they were eating," but St Paul in 1 Cor 11:25 indicates after "after supper." Luke mentions two cups, the second being the cup of eucharistic institution. In some churches communion is taken by intinction, where the bread or host is dipped in the chalice or cup of consecrated wine or grape juice. But I do not believe that is what John is describing in John 13:26. Emmaus |

2207 | Shunammite woman and Elisha | 2 Kings | Emmaus | 27954 | ||
Kiamlo, Please excuse my first answer. I was thinking of 2Kings 4:42-44. when I responded. Any of Jesus's miracles raising the dead to life would have been more appropriate, such as the daughter of Jairus in Matthew 9. There are many typological foreshadowings of Jesus in the life of Elisha. Emmaus |

2208 | Shunammite woman and Elisha | 2 Kings | Emmaus | 27950 | ||
Kiamlo, 2 Kings 4:24-37 is indeed a beautiful passage. It also seems to fit beautifully with John 6:1-15. Emmaus |

2209 | what was the origine of sunday worship? | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 27927 | ||
Ndeipi, Jesus had authority over the Sabbath. Matthew 12:8. Jesus gave this authority to the Apostles and His Church, Matthew 10:40; 16:19; 18:18-20; Luke 10:16, including the sabbath, Colossians 2:16-22. Jesus rose on the first day of the week which came to be known in the Church as The Lord's day, on which they met for prayer and to break bread and give thanks. This became more and more an identifying mark of the Church as it was forced out of the synagogue and differentiated itself from the Synagogue and from the ritual system of Mosaic Law and also of Temple worship which ended with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.

2210 | Rev 1:20 | Rev 1:20 | Emmaus | 27912 | ||
Brannon, If there was ever a book that requires a lot of help and even then leaves many questions it is the Book of Revelation. Below is a passage from one commentary I have regarding Rev 1:20. "The angels of the seven churches may stand for the bishops in charge of the them, or else the guadian angels who watch over them, or even the churches themselves insofar as they have a heavenly dimension and stand in God's presence as angels do. Whichever is the case, the best thing is to see the angels of the churches, to whom the letters are addressed, as meaning those who rule and protect each church in Christ's name. He is the only Lord, which is why He is shown holding the stars (angels) in his right hand. In the Old Testament the "angel of Yahweh" is the one charged to guide the people of Israel (cf. Ex 14:19; 23:20 etc.); and in the Apocalypse itself angels are given the mission of ruling the material world (cf. Rev 7:1; 14 ;18; 16:5). So Christ exercises his loving care and government of each church through the mediation of "angels", but it is difficult to say whether this means angels as such, or bishops or both."

2211 | Baptized and the Salvation Process: | John 3:6 | Emmaus | 27842 | ||
Chucky, You raise some interesting question regarding baptism. I being Catholic come from a different perspective, but our thoughts may intersect in some ways. Here are my thoughts on the subject. What must we do to be saved? This was the question of those to whom Peter preached on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2: 37, and also the question of the Philippian jailer of Paul and Silas in Acts 16:30. Peter’s response was: “Repent and be baptized”! Paul’s response was: “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.” But then in order that he might believe Paul at once spoke the word of the Lord to him “and he was baptized at once, with all his family.” Why not just believe in the Lord Jesus? Why baptism? Because baptism is the physical sacramental means by which God’s saves us spiritually by grace and bodily even to the resurrection of our physical bodies. Baptism is the command of Jesus in Matthew 28: 19-20. Baptism is the means by which God effects our salvation by incorporating us into the body of Christ. (1 Peter 3:21; Romans 6) The use of the physical in the sacraments reflects the redemption of all of fallen nature so that nature agains works to the good according to God's original plan, even as Christ's Incarnation redmeems our flesh as well as our spirit or soul, so that all creation gives glory to God. What Did Jesus Say on the Subject? “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (John 3: 5) I believe this refers to baptism. We know this from the context by what follows in John 3:22 when Jesus and the disciples went into Judea and baptized immediately following the discourse. Jesus also said: “But he who endures to the end will be saved.” (Matt. 24:13) “ Not everyone who says to me, ‘ Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father. On that day many will say to me ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and cast out demons in your name and do many mighty works in your name?’ And I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me you evil doers.’ (Matt. 7: 21) “Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you visited me...’” (Matt. 25:31-45). In the final analysis Jesus is Lord and He is the Word and He will have the last word on the matter of justification and salvation for each and every one of us. Another way it has been said is this: "God has bound salvation to the sacrament of Baptism, but He Himself is not bound by His sacraments." We are bound to follow Jesus' command to baptize, but He can do things including save whomever He wishes in ways we may never dream. Emmaus |

2212 | Born from above, born of the Spirit? | John 3:6 | Emmaus | 27824 | ||
Robert, I think you have answered your own questions. I think it is also clear that what Jesus is speaking about in John 3:5 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” refers to baptism. This from is apparent from the context by what follows in John 3:22 when Jesus and his disciples went into Judea and baptized. A new birth would indicate a new life, but one in which growth is expected.Birth is a beginning not an end. Scripture is full of stories about those resisting the Holy Spirit and God's efforts to lead into new areas of understanding and spiritual growth. Emmaus |

2213 | Where did the word Rapture come from? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 26989 | ||
The English word rapture is not found in English translations of 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Rapture is a transliteration of "rapiemur" in the Latin Vulgate New Testament of St Jerome. 1 Thes 4:17 deinde nos qui vivimus qui relinquimur simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Domino in aera Recent "rapture" theology is a whole other discussion and only about one hundred years old and is generally attributed to a man named Darby. |

2214 | "am I wrong in thinking that you pray to | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 26333 | ||
Since we seem to be getting far from the original thread title I have started a new thread with your question: "am I wrong in thinking you pray to Mary?" It should now be on the answered questions list. | ||||||
2215 | "am I wrong in thinking that you pray to | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 26330 | ||
So the answer depends on what you mean when you say pray "to" Mary. It is more like asking Mary or the saints to pray with me in Jesus. We are united in Him as the body of Christ whether in the flesh or in the spirit. "What can separate from the love of God.." Romans 5:35 | ||||||
2216 | Col 1:24 What is he saying exactly? | 1 Timothy | Emmaus | 26200 | ||
Since there is nothing lacking in Christ's redemptive suffering on the cross, the only thing lacking that Paul could be referring to is our entering into and sharing in that suffering as members of the body of Christ. "The Spirit itself bears witness that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.Romans 8:16-17. Jesus clearly laid out the conditions of discipleship when he said that we must daily take up our cross and follow him. Matt:18:24, Mark:8:34 and 10:21, Luke9:23. |

2217 | When did the catholic church go wrong? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 25727 | ||
There are primary sources on the early Church. Read the Apostolic Ante Nicean Fathers who wrote before Constantine during the persecutions and see what Church and theology you see in their writings for yourself. You can access the writings on any numer of websites, Catholic or Protestant. Get the information from the primary sources and decide for yourself. | ||||||
2218 | Parable fo the Good Samaritan - Evaluate | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 25559 | ||
It is possible to see ourselves as the man on the road, beaten and left for dead. The Law, represented by the priest and levite, cannot save. In fact they avoid the man who may be dead for fear of being contaminated and made ritually impure as they are going up to the Temple in Jersualem to perform their duties. Jesus is the Good Samaritan. He is not defiled by contact with the man, but rather saves him and restores him to life. He annoints him with oil, even as the baptized are anointed with oil as they enter into Christ and share in His priestly, prophetic and kingly mission. The Samaritan pays the price of of the man's recovery and restoration to health to the innkeeper. Whenever in the Gospels Jesus touches the unclean he is not contaminated as other men are by contact with sin. Instead sin is driven out by virtue and healing grace. There are a number of ways one can look at this parable. |

2219 | Empty inside being a Roman Catholic? | James 2:17 | Emmaus | 25388 | ||
Catrose, I think it is good that your husband resorts to some kind of prayer in times of trial. It would be even better if he also did the same when not in times of trial.It is not the Rosary or the Catholic faith that makes him feel empty, it is the failure to live the Gospel more fully whether as a Catholic or not. Perhaps if he was practicing his faith more fully he would be more full of the faith. The Holy Spirit leads in these matters. The wrong way that some Catholics pratice their religion is that they do not practice it. The same is true of many Christians of any denomination. If he is being led to God through the Catholic faith don't discourage him, encourage him to go deeper. | ||||||
2220 | How am I expected to be perfect? | Matt 5:48 | Emmaus | 25195 | ||
We become perfect as we are being conformed to Christ rather than the world. This is the process of sanctification. Romans 8:29; 12:2 |
