The Te Deum, the traditional hymn of thanksgiving. In thanks for Justme's healing. You are God we praise you; You are the Lord: we acclaim you; You are eternal father: all creation worships you. To you all angels, all the powers of heaven Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise; Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are fiull of your glory. The glorious company of apostles praise you. The noble fellowship of prophets praise you. The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you: Father, of majesty unbounded, your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the holy spirit, advocate and guide. You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father. When you became man to set us free you did not spurn the Virgin's womb. You overcame the sting of death, and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You are seated at God's right hand in glory. We believe that you will come and be our judge. Come then Lord, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood, and bring us with your saints to glory everlasting. |

Steve, The Jewsih calendar was Lunar, 28 days and the first day was the first day of the week. The Jewish calendar has numbers rather than names for the days: First day, second day etc. The fifteenth day of a month is the first day of the week and the eight day following that would also be the first day of the week. That is the way I figurwe it. See this article on the calendar: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03166a.htm Emmaus |

The Amplified Bible Col 2:9 For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead)continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine nature]. Col 2:10 And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead--Father, Son and Holy Spirit--and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power]. |

225 | Why Mary Magdalene did not recognize Him | 2 Cor 5:16 | Emmaus | 127071 | ||
St. Paul explains why Mary Magdalene did not at first recognize the risen Christ in John 20:15. "For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 2 Cor 5:14-16. Emmaus |

Country Girl, I just want to address a small portion of your post, which may be off the main line of the thread. "That's why we as God's obedient children must give Christ the preiminence by worshiping Him on Sunday, the first day of the week and NOT any other day like the Sabbath. Although it's a tough thing for some people to do, in my opinion we should learn to give up our love affair with the OT and put its AUTHORITY on a shelf and move on with modern christianity as described in the NT." It is interesting that rarely is Zechariah 14 used to help Seventh Day Adventists understand why the Christian church worships on the first day. According to Zechariah 14;16-19, the worship of the New Jerusalem will center on "the feast of booths" which is the only festival mentioned during the "day of the Lord." While Old Testament Jews normally keep the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath, during the feast of booths they kept the first day of the week as the day of rest. (Lev 23:33-36) The feast of booths celebrated the Exodus from Egypt and the New Covenant. The New Covenant Exodus is spoken of in the first oracle of Zechariah as an Exodus "from Egypt.' (Zexch 10:11) Revelation also deals with this connection between the Old covenant Expodus celebrated in the feat of booths and the new Covenant Exodus from spiritual Egypt in 70 A.D. when Jerusalem and the Old Covenant system of animal sacrifice was was destroyed.

229 | God the Son as a confession of faith | Rom 9:5 | Emmaus | 126627 | ||
Leslie N, "when you say Jesus is God, then did God the Father die on the cross?. There is only 1 God" Death is defined as the separation of the body and soul. Our soul is an immortal spirit and as such cannot "die". in th same way Jesus suffered death in the separation of his body and soul. 624 "By the grace of God" Jesus tasted death "for every one".(Heb 2:9) In his plan of salvation, God ordained that his Son should not only "die for our sins"(1 Cor 15:3) but should also "taste death", experience the condition of death, the separation of his soul from his body, between the time he expired on the cross and the time he was raised from the dead. The state of the dead Christ is the mystery of the tomb and the descent into hell. It is the mystery of Holy Saturday, when Christ, lying in the tomb,(Cf. Jn 19:42) reveals God's great sabbath rest (Cf. Heb 4:7-9) after the fulfillment(Cf. Jn 19:30) of man's salvation, which brings peace to the whole universe.(Cf Col 1:18-20) "Christ's stay in the tomb constitutes the real link between his passible state before Easter and his glorious and risen state today. The same person of the "Living One" can say, "I died, and behold I am alive for evermore":(Rev 1:18) God [the Son] did not impede death from separating his soul from his body according to the necessary order of nature, but has reunited them to one another in the Resurrection, so that he himself might be, in his person, the meeting point for death and life, by arresting in himself the decomposition of nature produced by death and so becoming the source of reunion for the separated parts.(St. Gregory of Nyssa, Orat. catech. 16: PG 45, 52D) Since the "Author of life" who was killed (Acts 3:15)is the same "living one [who has] risen",(Lk 24:5-6) the divine person of the Son of God necessarily continued to possess his human soul and body, separated from each other by death: By the fact that at Christ's death his soul was separated from his flesh, his one person is not itself divided into two persons; for the human body and soul of Christ have existed in the same way from the beginning of his earthly existence, in the divine person of the Word; and in death, although separated from each other, both remained with one and the same person of the Word.(St. John Damascene, De fide orth. 3, 27: PG 94, 1098A) "You will not let your Holy One see corruption" Christ's death was a real death in that it put an end to his earthly human existence. But because of the union which the person of the Son retained with his body, his was not a mortal corpse like others, for "it was not possible for death to hold him" (Acts 2:24) and therefore "divine power preserved Christ's body from corruption."(St. Thomas Aquinas, STh III, 51, 3) Both of these statements can be said of Christ: "He was cut off out of the land of the living",(Isa 53:8) and "My flesh will dwell in hope. For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor let your Holy One see corruption."(Acts 2:26-27; cf. Ps 16:9-10) Jesus' Resurrection "on the third day" was the sign of this, also because bodily decay was held to begin on the fourth day after death.(Cf. 1 Cor 15:4; Lk 24:46; Mt 12:40; Jon 2:1; Hos 6:2; cf. Jn 11:39)" http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a4p3.htm Emmaus |

230 | God the Son as a confession of faith | Rom 9:5 | Emmaus | 126615 | ||
Leslie N, I remember your post on the Westminster Confession. Do you understand the point I was making about how "God is Jesus" without further expalnation sounds to some ears? I know that grammatically it si the same as "Jesus is God" but nevertheless the pharasing stikes a different chord to many who hear it. People are used to hearing "Jesus is God" or "Jesu id the Son of God" as an assertion of the Divinity of Jesus. "God is Jesus" rightly or wrongly triggers a different reflex. Emmaus |

Leslie N, This is just my gut reaction, but I suspect the reason you are meeting resistance to "God is Jesus" is becasue it has the ring of the "Jesus Only" theology of certain non Trinitarian Pentecostals. It seems to leave out the Father and the Holy Spirit, whether or not that is your intent. I presume that was not your intent. Jesus is the name of God Incarnate. Christ is his title. It means "annointed". It refers to his office of preist, prophet and king. It is the Greek tranlation of Messiah. Jesus is the Incarnation of the Son, the Second Person of the holy Trinity. He is one Divine Person who has taken on a human nature in addition to his divine nature. Emmaus |

232 | Is my assessment of them wrong? | Matt 18:6 | Emmaus | 126507 | ||
This definition of sex equals marriage is the biggest scam proposed since the sexual revolution with the pill. In fact it is directly tied to it. Men told women that now they were in control their biology and destiny. All they had to do was take the pill. Then they said, "now that you don't have to worry about getting pregnant, you really have no good reason to say no to sex with me before we get married. Besides, marriage is just a piece of paper. Who needs that, we have sex. Ooops! I mean we have love. Don't cry, we'll get married later when we can afford it and all that." Many women bought the into that scam, so the ones that didn't had to compete with women who were giving themselves away without any committment. And we ended up with less marriage, weaker families, more divorce in the marriages we do have and a broken down society where we actually murder up to a third of our children to cover up the evidence (children conceived without committment and "by accident") that the whole scam is a lie. The truth is that men sold women a bill of goods in the sixties. Men got what they wanted without having to make a committment of any kind. And if the woman gets pregnant well, that's her own fault. Then she is pressured to have an abortion or face the shame or hardship of having a child without a husband and all the social and financial hardship that entails. They call that "choice." Marriage is a personal and commual committment acknowledged and witnessed in a community ceremony, even if just at a courthouse, because the abscence of marriage or the failure of it has serious social consequences. So it is more than just sex between two people. Sex equals marriage, as recently proposed by Theo-Minor and seconded by Stultis on this forum is nothing more than Darwinian materialism dressed up in a few Bible verses to cover its nakedness.

233 | should I avoid the appearance of evil? | Matt 18:6 | Emmaus | 126457 | ||
kalos, It is interesting to note that at time when secular governments have abondoned the recognition of "common law marriage" let alone tarditional Christian marriage, we have people in the Church venue adopting and advocating the idea. Has the church become a Las Vegas wedding (and baptism)chapel that people can rent if and when they feel in the mood, with the right to feel aggrieved if the chapel is not open for business on their terms. What is the difference between a contact and a covenant? Committment to the other party and the community, because the community is also effected by the success or failure of the marriage and family. A contact is an exchange of goods and services, like protituiton (a cash based system)or living in sin which is more based on a semi-long term barter system. A covenant is a mutal irrevocable giving of the entire self without any reservation, which has blessings and curses associated with the keeping or failing to keep the covenant. Marriage is a covenant. All one has to do is look at our society to see the obvious ill effects of the absence or breakdown of marriage on the whole community. Common Sense 101. It (common sense) existed even before the Bible. Emmaus |

Theo-Minor, Careful there. All that food for thought, especially about the Assumption of Moses, is getting you very close to the Catholic doctrine on the Assumption of Mary. And scripture doesn't even mention Mary's death. ;-) But I am not doing there, you seach out my previous post on the subject in the archives if you like. Emmaus |

PhilJ, Corrected spelling version. "Sleep" is a biblical euphemism for death. But the appearance of Elijah and Moses with Jesus on the mount of Transfiguration would indicate they were not "sleeping" in the sense of being unconscious. See also the saints in heaven in Rev 5:8; 6:9-11; 20:4. Only Seventh Day Adventists and the Jehovah Witnesses hold to the teaching of "soul sleep." The Sheol or Hades, the abode of the dead to which I referred to in my previous post, was divided into two sections, one for the righteous (a pleasant place called "the bossom of Abraham") and another for the unrighteous (decribed as a place of torment" for the rich man). See the story of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16:19-31. Emmaus |

Prima Scriptura anyone? The Spirit and Forms of Protetstantism by Fr. Louis Bouyer, a French priest and Professor, 1st English edition in 1956 and currently in print from Scepter Press, has a preface written by Fr. G. De Broglie, S.J. and an appendix article also by De Broglie titled: On the Primacy of Argument from Scripture in Theology. Allow me to quote the opening paragraphs. "This brief note is far from being a complete tretment of the complex problem of the relationship between Scripture and Tradion. Still less does it question the fact that the argument from Tradition has a certain logical priority to the argument from Scripture--insofar as our belief in the inspiration of the Scripture rests on the authority of the Church. Nor does it maintain that every dogma can be proved by argument from Scripture, without recourse to Tradition. It does not call into question the infallibility of the Magesterium or its indeispensable role in the interpretation of Scripture. Neither does it ignore the fact that the theological argument drawn from ecclesiastical documents is, in a number of cases the most clear and cogent that could be imagined. All it aims at is to emphasize the classic recognition of the argument from Scripture as holding an inalienable primacy of importance and value among all the arguments used in theology. The reason for this is easy to understand. Even in cases where in the Catholic view the teaching of the Magesterium satisfies all the conditions for infallibility, the Church is obliged by her own teaching to acknowledge that an eccelsiastical document of the sort is an entirely different thing from a text of the Scripture. True, the Church's teaching is divinely guarenteed to be free from error; nonetheless, it remains, in the various acts that constitute it, an aggregate of testimonies that are merely human, bearing on past revelation made by God to men; whereas the sacred text presents us with a formal and direct testimony from God himself, in the very form in which it originally appeared. Consequently, Scripture has always had a place apart in the teaching of the Church. " He goes on to quote The Encyclical Providentissimus Deus, by Leo XII which states about the doctrines of all the Church Fathers: "They set out to establish and confirm, primarily by the sacred books, all the truths of the faith as well as those which flow from them." I highy recommend this book. But it is not light reading. Emmaus |

Doc, "While I am pontificating (I wonder if anyone ever really reads this stuff?) I might as well add that I find it odd that people assume that primitive technology automatically assumes ignorance or -- perhaps worse -- a primitive mind set. If Moses or Paul or even Peter were alive today, I could well imagine them reasoning circles around today's intellectually elite." Amen! I don't know who has time to read everything posted here, but some of us read a lot and we develop a sense for what to skip over. I wonder how many lurkers there are who just like to read and prefer not to do any input. Emmaus |
