2221 | Name it and claim it?????????????? | Matt 4:3 | Emmaus | 25034 | ||
I sure have a problem with it. It sound a lot like magic to me. A manipulation of God that obigates Him to do something because of the words of your spell, even if they are His words used out of context. Sound like the devil tempting Jesus. name it and claim it and these stones will become bread, Matt 4:3. Or like Simon Magus trying to buy control of the Holy Spirit's from the apostles. Acts 8:9-19 |

2222 | Isn't my Mother in Heaven? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 24236 | ||
Your aunt seems peculiarly lacking in the virtues of faith, hope and charity in light of your loss. But the Witnesses do not even believe that Jesus is God or the second Person of the Trinity. Where did Elijah and Moses comes from when Jesus was speaking to them on the Mount of Transfiguration? Matt 17:2-3. Of course, according to the logic expressed by your aunt, Jesus must be Jehovah or a very close relative, maybe the Son of Jehovah, if the dead came out of the ground to meet him. I guess Jesus is also right about God being the God of the living, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Maybe the Father sent them from Abraham's bosom. Luke 16:19-31 Keep the faith and the hope and pray for your aunt. |

2223 | How can we be sure of eternal salvation? | Phil 1:6 | Emmaus | 24135 | ||
We can be morally certain that if we persevere to the end in faith, Mark 13:13, that we will be saved since God is faithful to keep His promises. But we can not have absolute certainty without denying God's gift of our free will and our freedom to reject His gift of justification and salvation. A gift that cannot be rejected or discarded is no gift at all. See Adam and Eve in Genesis and Romans 11:22, 1 Cor 10:12 | ||||||
2224 | What is a two-edge sword? | Heb 4:12 | Emmaus | 24132 | ||
I believe Heb 4:12-13 is referring to not just to the written word of God, but in a deeper sense to Jesus himself,the living Word of God. " No creature is concealed from Him...to whom we must render an account. See John 1:1 and Rev 1:6. The written Word comes forth from the Living Word, Jesus. |

2225 | What does Matthew 24: 28 mean? | Matt 24:28 | Emmaus | 23963 | ||
The RSV translation of Matt 24:28 has it: "Wherever the body is ther the eagles will be gathered together." The passage refers to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and the eagles are the eageles on the standards of the Romans who scavange the city laid waste. In the Old testament the translation is "vultures." In either case it refers to scavangers, symbolizing the pagan nations who brought suffering on Isreal. Dt 28:49, Hab 1:8, Hos 8:1. |

2226 | in what way does God | Matt 7:3 | Emmaus | 23958 | ||
The perfect illustration of how God blesses the poor in spirit Matt 5:3 is given in Luke 18:9-14, the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. Which man was poor in spirit and what was his reward? | ||||||
2227 | Is the devil a real person? | Matt 4:1 | Emmaus | 23796 | ||
The devil is a real person just as are all the angels. The Catholic Church teaches that also and has not changed it's teaching. The biblical citations are too numerous to mention. One might start with the temptaion of Jesus and all that he said abou the devil and hell. Listening to a Bahai about what the Catholic Church teaches is rather ill advised. You go to the sources of the organization not another party to learn what they tesch. | ||||||
2228 | no gospel equal go to hell? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 23418 | ||
I am unaware of any explicit citations. It is implied in many indirect ways, but is nowhere explicit. We do not know all the ways that God may present the Gospel to a person, but we do know that we are commanded to preach the Gospel for the salvation of all men. The rest is God's business in His wisdom and mercy. | ||||||
