41 | Why go to Church | Heb 10:25 | Emmaus | 170022 | ||
Drew, As Chrisitans we are all members of the body of Christ. We cannopt cut ourselves off from the rest of the body. I suggest a close reading and meditation on 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 and Hebrews 10:25. That being said, it is possible to spend too much time at church even on a Sunday to the neglect of family matters. Church should not become, as it is for some, an escape from family responabilities.

42 | Why does Jesus need to be baptized? | Matt 3:15 | Emmaus | 169953 | ||
foodanny, "The baptism of Jesus "535 Jesus' public life begins with his baptism by John in the Jordan.(228) John preaches "a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins".(229) A crowd of sinners(230) - tax collectors and soldiers, Pharisees and Sadducees, and prostitutes- come to be baptized by him. "Then Jesus appears." The Baptist hesitates, but Jesus insists and receives baptism. Then the Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, comes upon Jesus and a voice from heaven proclaims, "This is my beloved Son."(231) This is the manifestation ("Epiphany") of Jesus as Messiah of Israel and Son of God. "536 The baptism of Jesus is on his part the acceptance and inauguration of his mission as God's suffering Servant. He allows himself to be numbered among sinners; he is already "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world".(232) Already he is anticipating the "baptism" of his bloody death.(233) Already he is coming to "fulfill all righteousness", that is, he is submitting himself entirely to his Father's will: out of love he consents to this baptism of death for the remission of our sins.(234) The Father's voice responds to the Son's acceptance, proclaiming his entire delight in his Son.(235) The Spirit whom Jesus possessed in fullness from his conception comes to "rest on him".(236) Jesus will be the source of the Spirit for all mankind. At his baptism "the heavens were opened"(237) - the heavens that Adam's sin had closed - and the waters were sanctified by the descent of Jesus and the Spirit, a prelude to the new creation. 228 Cf. Lk 3:23; Acts 1:22. 229 Lk 3:3. 230 Cf. Lk 3:10-14; Mt 3:7; 21:32. 231 Mt 3:13-17. 232 Jn 1:29; cf. Isa 53:12. 233 Cf. Mk 10:38; Lk 12:50. 234 Mt 3:15; cf. 26:39. 235 Cf.

43 | I meant Job, See Job 1:6-8 | Job | Emmaus | 169913 | ||
Bebra, Good question. God doesn't have anything to prove to Satan. Satan was trying to prove something to God. He challanged God to remove His protection from Job and asserted that once that was done and Job began to suffer he, Job, would turn away from God and not be the upright man that he was. God said: "I'll take that bet!" And God won. He always wins. This is a good stroy telling technique. Notice how Job 1:7 ties in with 1 Peter 5:8. Emmaus |

48 | HOW MUCH IS 30 SILVER COINS WORTH? | Zech 11:13 | Emmaus | 169863 | ||
Since it was the chief priest of the Temple who paid Judas the 30 pieces of silver, it is more likely they used the Temple coins. I believe that the 30 pieces reference was intended by Matthew to bring to mind the prophecy of Zechariah. Matthew is full of this kind of allusions to Old Testament passages. | ||||||

51 | how long does it take God to forgive u | Luke 15:20 | Emmaus | 169780 | ||
SNOLAN, God forgives as quickly as we confess. In the story of the prodigal son the father ran to meet his son to forgive him. "So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him." Luke 15:20 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Emmaus |

52 | rapture unseen, 2nd advent seen by all | John 14:3 | Emmaus | 169750 | ||
rs8795, It seems to me that the rapure of second coming of Christ is one event, not two, otherwise we would have the secon and third coming of Christ. The day and the time may sneak up on us like a thief in the night, but we will surely know when he is upon us. 1 Thess 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thess 4:16-18 Emmaus |

53 | If we told Jesus the whole truth... | Mark 5:33 | Emmaus | 169726 | ||
Kalos, It seems to me from reading the passage that the woman was healed and the miracle occurred in verse 29 before she "told Jesus everything" in verse 34. That being said, spiritual healing, the greatest miracle of which physical healing is only a shadow often, often requires an admission of our spiritually sick state. Sin like an addiction requires an admission of of our inability to save ourselves and the need of God and His power to change that state. So, "if we admit our sins, He is quick to forgive us." On the other hand if we are like the Pharisee in the parable of the Phrarisee and the Publican and do not admit our sinful state we will not be saved, the greatest miracle of all. One of the early Church fathers writing about the Sacrament of Confession, put it this way: "if are not willing to show our wound to the physician, he cannot heal it." The same applies to the confession of our sinfulness and the need of God's healing. The women with the issue of blood knew that physicians could not cure her only the touch of Jesus, even if only the touch of the fringe of his garment. It is interesting that under Levitical law anyone or anything touched by a menstrating woman became ritually inclean. But Jesus Jesus reverses this. When someone unclean , the woman, lepers, touch Him or are touches by him, they become clean. The power of God is greater than the power of the world or sin. Emmaus |

54 | similarities between peter acts, 2 paul | Acts | Emmaus | 169596 | ||
polardude 1983, The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible Introduction to Acts makes some interesting points about your question. The final part of the introduction overview speaks about some features of Acts that appeared to be an apologetic defense of Paul's ministry against his detractors who were trying to undermine his unique status as a post Resurrection Apostle, who rather than helping to establish the Church had actually persecuted it. 2Cor 11:4-6;12:11; Gal 6:12. Luke establishes Paul's credentials by comparing him to Peter in these ways: Both delivered inaugural sermons focusing on the Davidic Covenant. 2:22-36; 13:26-41 Both appealed to Psalm 16 in relation to the Resurrection. 2:25-28; 13:35 Both healed cripples. 3:1-10; 14:8-10 Both filled with the Holy Spirit. 4:8; 13:9 Both were renowned for extraordinary miracles. 5:15-16; 19:11-12 Both conferred the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands. 8:14-17; 19:6 Both confront and rebuke a magician. 8:18-24; 13:6-11 Both raise the dead. 9:36-41; 20:9-12 Both refuse divine worship. 10:25-26; 14:11-15 Both delivered from prison miraculously. 12:6-11; 16:25-34 Paul also called by Jesus. 9:1-19; 22:3-16; 26:2-18 So demonstrating by parallels that Peter and Paul had the same preaching, the same power and the same protection.

55 | HOW MUCH IS 30 SILVER COINS WORTH? | Zech 11:13 | Emmaus | 169501 | ||
Discipleme, " Thirty pieces of silver: the price of the betrayal is found only in Matthew. It is derived from Zechariah 11:12 where it is the wages paid to the rejected shepherd, a cheap price (Zechariah 11:13). That amount is also the compensation paid to one whose slave has been gored by an ox (Exodus 21:32)." From the NAB footnotes on Matthew 26:15 Emmaus |

56 | Mary, sis of Martha and Mary Magdalene? | Matt 27:56 | Emmaus | 169354 | ||
Idaw 942, The verse (56) actually states one of the women was Mary Magdalene. Verse 55 says there were many women there, but all were not named. It would appear that the other Mary also mentioned in verse 61 was the same other Mary mentioned in verse 56, the mother of James and Jospeh. Matt 27:55 Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ministering to Him. Matt 27:56 Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. Emmaus |

58 | once saved | 1 Cor 3:15 | Emmaus | 169240 | ||
johhny-b, Once saved, always saved is not to be found in the Bible explicitly. It is a theological constrcuct to which not all Christians hold. But the verse you are looking for is probably 1 Cor 3:15 "If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire." You might want to look it up in its larger context. Emmaus |

59 | what does the reconciliation means? | 2 Cor 5:1 | Emmaus | 169237 | ||
Rhon In the Christian sense it primarily means the resoration of man's relationship with God through Jesus Christ and secondarily the restoration of the relationship of Christians to one another. Rom 5:11 And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. Rom 11:15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 2 Cor 5:18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 2 Cor 5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation In the Catholic Christian sense it is also another name for the Sacrament of Penance or Confession.
