3623 | Are Catholics saved because of religion? | Eph 2:8 | Emmaus | 28907 | ||
HHannaJr, You and some other may be interested to know that the Catholic Church does not teach Justification by works. Unmerited grace is what allows the redemmed sinner to receive the gift of faith and works in Christ lest the faith without works be dead. Faith and works in Christ are two sides of one coin. But the grace of initial Justification is entirely unmerited and gratuitous. Below is the actual teaching on the Council of Trent on this matter. The matter of clerical celibacy is a discipline peculiar to the Latin Rite and not a doctrine. Disciplines can be changed. Many Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church have married priests. HOW THE GRATUITOUS JUSTIFICATION OF THE SINNER BY FAITH IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD But when the Apostle says that man is justified by faith and freely,[44] these words are to be understood in that sense in which the uninterrupted unanimity of the Catholic Church has held and expressed them, namely, that we are therefore said to be justified by faith, because faith is the beginning of human salvation, the foundation and root of all justification, without which it is impossible to please God[45] and to come to the fellowship of His sons; and we are therefore said to be justified gratuitously, because none of those things that precede justification, whether faith or works, merit the grace of justification. For, if by grace, it is not now by works, otherwise, as the Apostle says, grace is no more grace.[46] 44. Rom. 3:24; 5:1. 45. Heb. 11:6. 46. Rom. 11:6. CHAPTER X THE INCREASE OF THE JUSTIFICATION RECEIVED Having, therefore, been thus justified and made the friends and domestics of God,[49] advancing from virtue to virtue,[50] they are renewed, as the Apostle says, day by day,[51] that is, mortifying the members[52] of their flesh, and presenting them as instruments of justice unto sanctification,[53] they, through the observance of the commandments of God and of the Church, faith cooperating with good works, increase in that justice received through the grace of Christ and are further justified, as it is written: He that is just, let him be justified still;[54] and, Be not afraid to be justified even to death;[55] and again, Do you see that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only?[56] This increase of justice holy Church asks for when she prays: "Give unto us, O Lord, an increase of faith, hope and charity."[57] 50. Ps. 83:8. 51. See 2 Cor. 4:16. 52. Col. 3:5. 53. Rom. 6:13, 19. 54. Apoc. 22:11. 55. Ecclus. 18:22. 56. James 2:24. 57. Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost. |

Thank you Nolan. It just seemed appropriate to start off the new year with a prayer that focuses on the Lord of Time and all creation. Emmaus |

Who is the Lord of Time in this Year of Our Lord, 2002 Anno Domini?

3626 | Is John 3:16 for real? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 28668 | ||
Dan, I have been following this very interesting thread. The question you are wrestling with is one that every Christian comes to at some point I believe. I like what Steve Indiana Jones has given you from Romans, Hebrews and Jeremiah. I am a minority voice on the forum coming from a Catholic perspective. But the questions you raised in this particular post to Jensen, makes me think you will find the following link of interest since it address some of the very questiosn you raise. It is from the Council of Trent addressing the question of Justification and how we are called and justified by grace. I think you will be surprised to see how it follows the line of your questions, although you may disagree on some but I doubt many of the points it makes. http://www.ewtn.com/library/COUNCILS/TRENT6.HTM#1 I have also alway found the following quote from the Catechism pertinent to the discussion of this matter. "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men." Hebrews 11:6; 1Cor 9:16 Emmaus |

ddrundle, You might want to start with all those people in Revelation as early as chapter 4, 5 and 6, when it refers to their fellows who were still on earth and "yet to be killed as they had been." Rev 6:11 Emmaus |

3628 | Salvation: Instantaneous, progressive? | Ps 68:19 | Emmaus | 28553 | ||
Charis, Venturing forth from the briar patch with caution I will suggest that justification, sanctification,salvation be considered in the context of family life since St Paul in Romans and the Gospels tell us that by grace, faith, baptism (controversies in those areas aside)we are made children of God as if by being born again into or adopted into His family. My experience of family life is one of a continuum of growth and development in relationship with all family members but especially with the Head of the family. Some people are known to rebel abandon the families into which they were born or adopted. Some then later repent and return, others do not. Others have various experiences peculiar to their personalities and place in the family, etc. Just a suggestion on a method of and exploring this question. Emmaus |

3629 | What happen to Joseph? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 28549 | ||
Grace, We know that Joseph was with Jesus at age 12 when they went up to Jerusalem for the Passover feast. Luke 2:42. After that Scripture is silent on Joseph. Even tradition is remarkably silent on the question of Joseph after that passage. He obviously continued in providing for the needs of his family as indicated by Luke 2:51-52. At what point he may have died is not clear, but his desricption as a "just" or "righteous man" indicated he would never abandon his family. |

3630 | What is Jeremiah referring to in his que | Jer 8:22 | Emmaus | 28532 | ||
dlb3, The footnote in my bible says: "Gilead:noted for it's healing balm but not able to heal the moral wound of the people." The daughter is the personification of the people as the term "daughter Zion" is sometimes used to personify the people of Israel. I presume that you are familiar wth the song, There is a Balm in Gilead referring to Jesus Christ who heals all our wounds especially the spiritual ones. Gilead was situated on the East bank of the Jordan river. Numbers 32 Emmaus |

3631 | Do holy people have to speak in tongues? | 1 Cor 12:30 | Emmaus | 28531 | ||
Angel, Go to Quick Search on the upper right side of this page and type in tongues. You will get all the past posts on this forum on the subject with a variety of opinion. I do not believe everyone gets the same gifts and that includes tongues. The highest gift is charity or love. Take a look at 1 Corinthians 12:27- 14:40 Emmaus Emmaus |

Jimmie, In my previous answer I mentioned Romans 3, but meant to write Romans 6. But 3 is good too. Emmaus |

3634 | what is being born again? | John 3:1 | Emmaus | 28517 | ||
Jimmie, First read all of chapter 3 of John's Gospel. Also chapter 3 of Romans and 1 Peter 3:18-22. You will find some variety of opinion on this forum. Some will say baptism is required and means of being born again in Christ. Some say baptism is not necessary and is only a public sign and acknowlegement of having received faith by grace and being born again of the Holy Spirit. I think all would agree that it is by God's grace regardless of the means of transmittal of that grace. Emmaus |

Kathy, See 1 Cor 5:7-8 and 11:23-26. For some Christians today Holy Communion is a sharing in and remebrance of the one scrafice of Christ the Lamb of God. Emmaus |

3636 | brining the childern out | Exodus | Emmaus | 28448 | ||
Saveda, First pray for the guidence of the Holy Spirit before you read the scripture. One simple way of seeing things in Exodus, is to read the Gospel of Matthew at the same time and look for the parallels between the life of Moses and Jesus. I am sure others will have other helpful recommendations. Emmaus |

3637 | Can all be saved? | 1 Cor 5:5 | Emmaus | 28401 | ||
Sandre Satan is a person not the place of eternal punishment. Delivery to hell is eternal. Once in hell there is no getting out. I think the amplified translation of the verse above your post makes Emmaus clear what the verese means. Think more in terms of how Job was delivered over to Satan temporarily but not to death. He was not delivered condemned hell. And he was not delivered over to Satan for any transgression in his case. |

Serenetime, One of the nice things about the Catholic Church is that it is easy to find out what it clearly teaches. They print it in a catechism. Here is a link that takes you right to the section on Confession, followed by Indulgences and the Annointing of the Sick. You may or may not agree or find it convincing, but you will at least have it accuratley and in context. http://www.christusrex.org/www1/CDHN/healing.html#HEALING As for Mary and the Pope those formal teachings are also found in the Catechism, but you can click my name and then click for all my posts and see what I have said there about those subjects starting with number 8 of my posts. I don't believe this forum is the appropriate place for me to engage in Catholic catechetics unless that is incident to a discussion of a particular question about a scritural passage. Besides which I would only aggravate my carpal tunnel syndrome with all the typing. Emmaus |

Serenetime, You have some serious misunderstandings about Catholics and what they believe. Nothing of what you have said in your post reflects what I believe or think as a Catholic. Emmaus |
