41 | Prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32) who is he? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 96263 | ||
Huron, One of the best pieces of advice I ever recieved on the prodigal son was to meditate on it from all points of view, the prodigal son, the elder brother and the father. It is possible that at different times in your life you may find yourself acting like any one of them, the repentant, the resentful and unforgiving and the forgiving. Emmaus |

Christian 7, I was waiting for someone else to answer your question, but since no one has here are some suggestions. I do not think any one source will have everything your want. First is a link to an overview article on the whole subject. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15107a.htm For a book with an "big picture" perspective on typology in the Covenants from Adam to Jesus, see Scott Hahn's, A Father Who Keeps His Promises. I also recommend doing a web search for "Typology in Scripture". You will get hits for other books and websites. The Early Church Fathers wrote extensively about typology since the Lord himslf taught in this way (Luke 24:27). And the Gospel of Matthew has a running theme that in essence compares Moses and Jesus typologically. The lectionary cycle for scripture readings at daily Mass is also set up for typological exposition. For example below are the readings for tommorrow. See the comparison betweeen Moses and Jesus and Joshua and the John in the first reading in Numbers and the Gospel reading from Matthew. Reading I Nm 11:25-29 The LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to Moses. Taking some of the spirit that was on Moses, the LORD bestowed it on the seventy elders; and as the spirit came to rest on them, they prophesied. Now two men, one named Eldad and the other Medad, were not in the gathering but had been left in the camp. They too had been on the list, but had not gone out to the tent; yet the spirit came to rest on them also, and they prophesied in the camp. So, when a young man quickly told Moses, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp," Joshua, son of Nun, who from his youth had been Moses' aide, said, "Moses, my lord, stop them." But Moses answered him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the people of the LORD were prophets! Would that the LORD might bestow his spirit on them all!" Responsorial Psalm Ps 19:8, 10, 12-13, 14 R. (9a) The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart. The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul; the decree of the LORD is trustworthy, giving wisdom to the simple. R. The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, all of them just. R. The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart. Though your servant is careful of them, very diligent in keeping them, yet who can detect failings? Cleanse me from my unknown faults! R. The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart. From wanton sin especially, restrain your servant; let it not rule over me. then shall I be blameless and innocent of serious sin. R. The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart. Gospel Mk 9:38-43, 45, 47-48 At that time, John said to Jesus, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us." Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us. Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward. "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut if off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where 'their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'" Emmaus |

47 | Sola Scriptura - Biblical? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 98457 | ||
Hank, On this forum, this particular question would be rhetorical if I did not respond. So let me cast my solitary vote that "Sola Scriptura" is not Biblical and is man made. However, not being suicidal I won't get into a debate on the subject. I will merely offer a link to a article on just the practical problems of Sola Scriptura by another Razorback, Jimmy Akin. Having stood up for what I believe, I will await the universal agreement of all others on the forum to the contrary position. http://www.cin.org/users/james/files/practicl.htm Emmaus |

Cyndie, His divine nature. "518. "Christ's whole life is a mystery of recapitulation. All Jesus did, said and suffered had for its aim restoring fallen man to his original vocation: When Christ became incarnate and was made man, he recapitulated in himself the long history of mankind and procured for us a 'short cut' to salvation, so that what we had lost in Adam, that is, being in the image and likeness of God, we might recover in Christ Jesus.[St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 3, 18, 1: PG 7/1, 932.] For this reason Christ experienced all the stages of life, thereby giving communion with God to all men.[St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 3, 18, 7: PG 7/1, 937; cf. 2, 22, 4.]" To view the context, please visit http://www.christusrex.org/www1/CDHN/creed4.html#WHOLE 668. "'Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.'[Rom 14:9 .] Christ's Ascension into heaven signifies his participation, in his humanity, in God's power and authority. Jesus Christ is Lord: he possesses all power in heaven and on earth. He is 'far above all rule and authority and power and dominion', for the Father 'has put all things under his feet.'[Eph 1:20-22 .] Christ is Lord of the cosmos and of history. In him human history and indeed all creation are 'set forth' and transcendently fulfilled.[Eph 1:10 ; cf.

49 | personal prophecy | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 98789 | ||
terryandangie, Public Revelation ended with the death of the last Apostle. God may indeed speak a personal revelation to individuals, but not everyone who claims it. And any personal revelation is just that, personal. Even the one who receives a personal revelation but check it against Public Revelation and "test the spirits." But no one is bound by any private revelation and in general they should be viewed with great scepticism since many cults, heresies and schisms originate in them. Emmaus |

50 | what qualifies christ to be our reconcil | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 98874 | ||
Cyndie, The answer is still Christ's divine nature along with His human nature in the incarnation. Thus in the flesh of the God Man, Jesus Christ, God and man are reconciled. He is "the visible image of the invisible God." Through Him we become partakers of the divine nature. "The Word became flesh to make us 'PARTAKERS of the divine nature':[2 Pet 1:4 .] 'For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God.'[St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 3, 19, 1: PG 7/1, 939.] 'For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.'[St. Athanasius, De inc. 54, 3: PG 25, 192B.] 'The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods.'[St. Thomas Aquinas, Opusc. 57, 1-4.]" "Man is predestined to reproduce the image of God's Son made man, the 'image of the invisible God' (COL 1:15), so that Christ shall be the first-born of a multitude of brothers and sisters (cf. Eph 1:3-6; Rom 8:29)." "To human beings God even gives the power of freely sharing in his providence by entrusting them with the responsibility of 'subduing' the earth and having dominion over it.[Cf. Gen 1:26-28 .] God thus enables men to be intelligent and free causes in order to complete the work of creation, to perfect its harmony for their own good and that of their neighbours. Though often unconscious collaborators with God's will, they can also enter deliberately into the divine plan by their actions, their prayers and their sufferings.[Cf. COL 1:24.] They then fully become 'God's fellow workers' and co-workers for his kingdom.[1 Cor 3:9 ; 1 Th 3:2 ; COL 4:11.]" "Christ's whole life is a mystery of redemption. Redemption comes to us above all through the blood of his cross,[Cf. Eph 1:7 ; COL 1:13-14; 1 Pet 1:18-19 .] but this mystery is at work throughout Christ's entire life: -already in his Incarnation through which by becoming poor he enriches us with his poverty;[Cf. 2 Cor 8:9 .] - in his hidden life which by his submission atones for our disobedience;[Cf. Lk 2:51 .] - in his word which purifies its hearers;[Cf. Jn 15:3 .]- in his healings and exorcisms by which 'he took our infirmities and bore our diseases';[Mt 8:17 ; cf. Is 53:4.] - and in his Resurrection by which he justifies us.[Cf. Rom 4:25 .]" "The cross is the unique sacrifice of Christ, the 'one mediator between God and men'.[1 Tim 2:5 .] But because in his incarnate divine person he has in some way united himself to every man, 'the possibility of being made partners, in a way known to God, in the paschal mystery' is offered to all men.[GS 22 # 5; cf.

FytRobert, Let's put your question in personal perspective. Is it now ok for me to kill you, bear false witness against you, commit adultery with your wife or lust after your wife and property? Are those commandments obsolete? And is it obsolete to worship God and use his name in vain or to worship idols or false Gods? If we fail to worship God and acknowledge His authority over our lives, why should we even consider His other commandments regarding how we relate to our neighbors? I do not believe human behavior has changed at all in the past 4,000 years. Emmaus |

54 | Do you have to be baptised to be saved | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 100499 | ||
JamesGraves, Some here will say it is "not necessary but it is important to obey the Lord." Other says it is necessary for slavation because of John 3:5, Acts 2:38 and Acts 9:5, 18, Acts 22:16. I would say it is necessary unless you are prevented from being baptised for some reason like the thief on the cross. For extensive debates on the subject got to the Quick Search box on the right side of the screen and enter "baptism" and hit search. You will get more than enough of both sides. But even those who say baptism is not necessary to be save say it is necessary to be obedient to the Lord's command and to make a public profession and witness of your faith. So get baptised and both parties sides will be happy Emmaus |

55 | Where do I find Paul's death in Rome? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 100503 | ||
Dee1Rose, The answer to your question is not in the Bible, but the Early Church Father's in their writings indicate that Paul died in Rome. Below is an excert from a larger article on St. Paul with the link to the whole article which address also gives a chronology of Paul's life and work. "Ancient tradition makes it possible to establish the following points: (1) Paul suffered martyrdom near Rome at a place called Aquae Salviae (now Tre Fontane), somewhat east of the Ostian Way, about two miles from the splendid Basilica of San Paolo fuori le mura which marks his burial place. (2) The martyrdom took place towards the end of the reign of Nero, in the twelfth year (St. Epiphanius), the thirteenth (Euthalius), or the fourteenth (St. Jerome). (3) According to the most common opinion, Paul suffered in the same year and on the same day as Peter; several Latin Fathers contend that it was on the same day but not in the same year; the oldest witness, St. Dionysius the Corinthian, says only kata ton auton kairon, which may be translated "at the same time" or "about the same time". (4) From time immemorial the solemnity of the Apostles Peter and Paul has been celebrated on 29 June, which is the anniversary either of their death or of the translation of their relics Formerly the pope, after having pontificated in the Basilica of St. Peter, went with his attendants to that of St. Paul, but the distance between the two basilicas (about five miles) rendered the double ceremony too exhausting, especially at that season of the year. Thus arose the prevailing custom of transferring to the next day (30 June) the Commemoration of St. Paul. The feast of the Conversion of St. Paul (25 January) is of comparatively recent origin. There is reason for believing that the day was first observed to mark the translation of the relics of St. Paul at Rome, for so it appears in the Hieronymian Martyrology. It is unknown to the Greek Church (Dowden, "The Church Year and Kalendar", Cambridge, 1910, 69; cf. Duchesne, "Origines du culte chrétien", Paris, 1898, 265-72; McClure, "Christian Worship", London, 1903, 277-81)." http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11567b.htm Emmaus |

FytRobert, I think you overestimate my "vast knowledge of the Bible and the world." God's Law is not obsolete. However, the system which adminsistered Hi law, the Hebrew Theocracy, is obsolete and defunct. The State still has the authority to impose Capital punishment altought like in the case of Jesus, they can be prone to error in executing innocent men. There are several examples of how Jesus dealt with similar issues of the Law, i.e. the woman caught in adultery. I don't think Jesus believed the Law was obsolete, since He came to fulfill it, but he certainly was not rigid in his application of the letter of the Law. What are your thoughts about the moral law as expounded in the ten Commandments vs the civil punishment that were meted out by the Israeltite authorities? Would you want to be the one responsible for enforcing the letter of the laws you used as examples? Who esle would you trust with such authority? One thing I feel certain about is that those who attack mother or father, curses them or kidnaps will pay a price, probably here whether repentent or not and in the final judgement if not repentent. Have you ever know a person who has done any of the above living a happy and fulfilling life? I haven't. Emmaus Emmaus |

60 | Is slavery justified in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 101075 | ||
Konj, I think it would be more accurate to say the Bible acknowledges the reality and existence of slavery and that some people use the Bible to condone slavery, but the Bible itself does not condone it but assumes the socieal reality of slavery in Biblical times. It therefore has rules addressing the relity of slavery and how slaves are to be treated. That is not the same thing as justifying slavery. It was however taken for granted. See Genesis 16 and 21, also Exodus21. Emmaus |
