83 | Why did God plan for the Jews to be the | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 111744 | ||
Hood Rat, God and in this case Scripture does not answer the why question. God does what He does because He chooses to and not having to explain to anyone else, rarely does. However there were two secular ditties on the question. Written by a Gentile How odd of God to choose the Jews. Responded to by a Jew. G-D chose the Jews, because Goyim annoy Him. Emmaus |

Samm, "God's free initiative demands man's free response, for God has created man in His image by conferring on him, along with freedom, the power to know Him and love Him. The soul only enters freely into the communion of love. God immediately touches and directly moves the heart of man. He has placed in man a longing for truth and goodness that only He can satisfy." http://198.62.75.1/www1/CDHN/salve.html#SALVATION Emmaus |

Iluvatar, With a nod to JRRT may I suggest that the mystery of predestination and free wil is no mor difficult or easy that the concept that God is perfectly both just and merciful. Exacly how that is worked out in prefection is know to God alone. We know only that both predestination and free will are asserted in Scripture. That being said let me offer a fee thoughts for consideration, which will not solve the mystery but may shed some light on it. "1742 Freedom and grace. The grace of Christ is not in the slightest way a rival of our freedom when this freedom accords with the sense of the true and the good that God has put in the human heart. On the contrary, as Christian experience attests especially in prayer, the more docile we are to the promptings of grace, the more we grow in inner freedom and confidence during trials, such as those we face in the pressures and constraints of the outer world. By the working of grace the Holy Spirit educates us in spiritual freedom in order to make us free collaborators in his work in the Church and in the world: Almighty and merciful God, in your goodness take away from us all that is harmful, so that, made ready both in mind and body, we may freely accomplish your will. 600 To God, all moments of time are present in their immediacy. When therefore he establishes his eternal plan of "predestination", he includes in it each person's free response to his grace: "In this city, in fact, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place."[Acts 4:27-28; cf Psalms 2:1-2] For the sake of accomplishing his plan of salvation, God permitted the acts that flowed from their blindness.[cf Matthew 25:54; John 18:36; 19:11; Acts 3:17-18] 1037 God predestines no one to go to hell; for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. In the Eucharistic liturgy and in the daily prayers of her faithful, the Church implores the mercy of God, who does not want "any to perish, but all to come to repentance":[2 Peter 3:9]... 2012 "We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him . . . For those whom he fore knew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified."[Romans 8:28-30 2002 God's free initiative demands man's free response, for God has created man in his image by conferring on him, along with freedom, the power to know him and love him. The soul only enters freely into the communion of love. God immediately touches and directly moves the heart of man. He has placed in man a longing for truth and goodness that only he can satisfy. The promises of "eternal life" respond, beyond all hope, to this desire:.." If nothing else avails, pray that God willl greet you personally like Saint Paul by knowking you off your horse and convincing you in person. It has happened to me an innumerable others. It can happen to you too. The Catechism Emmaus |

The Articles of faith are found in the Aposle Creed and the Nicean Creed The Apostles' Creed. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. The Nicean Creed I believe in (Romans 10: 8-10; 1 John 4: 15) ONE God, (Deuteronomy 6: 4, Ephesians 4: 6) Father (Matthew 6: 9) Almighty, (Exodus 6: 3) Maker of Heaven and Earth, (Genesis 1: 1) and of all things visible and invisible. (Colossians 1: 15-16) And in ONE Lord Jesus Christ, (Acts 11: 17) Son of God, (Mathew 14: 33; 16: 16) Only-Begotten, (John 1: 18; 3: 16) Begotten of the Father before all ages. (John 1: 2) Light from Light; (Psalm 27: 1; John 8: 12; Matthew 17: 2,5) True God from True God; (John 17: 1-5) Begotten, not made; (John 1: 18) of one essence with the Father (John 10: 30) through whom all things were made; (Hebrews 1: 1-2) Who for us men and for our salvation (1 Timothy 2: 4-5) came down from heaven, (John 6: 33,35) and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary (Luke 1: 35) and became man. (John 1: 14) And He was crucified for us (Mark 15: 25; 1 Corinthians 15: 3) under Pontius Pilate, (John 19: 6) suffered, (Mark 8: 31) and was buried. (Luke 23: 53; 1 Corinthians 15: 4) And on the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures, (Luke 24: 1 1 Corinthians 15: 4) and ascended into heaven, (Luke 24: 51; Acts 1: 10) and sits at the right hand of the Father; (Mark 16: 19; Acts 7: 55) and He shall come again with glory (Matthew 24: 27) to judge the living and the dead; (Acts 10: 42; 2 Timothy 4: 1) Whose Kingdom shall have no end. (2 Peter 1: 11) And in the Holy Spirit, (John 14: 26) Lord, (Acts 5: 3-4) Giver of Life, (Genesis 1: 2) Who proceeds from the Father; (John 15: 26) Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; (Matthew 3: 16-17) Who spoke through the prophets.

(Acts 2: 42; Ephesians 2: 19-22) I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. (Ephesians 4: 5) I look for the resurrection of the dead, (John 11: 24; 1 Corinthians 15: 12-49; Hebrews 6: 2; Revelation 20: 5) and the life in the age to come. (Mark 10: 29-30) AMEN. (Psalm 106: 48) The objectives of the Church, which is the Body of Christ, are the same as the objectives of Christ: To teach, to govern and to sanctify. The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. They belong in their fullness to Christ, Son of David.109 They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations. Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.110 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God . . . If children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ.111 The fruits of the Spirit are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory. The tradition of the Church lists twelve of them: "charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity."112 109 Cf. Isa 11:1-2. 110 Ps 143:10. 111 Rom 8:14,17. 112 Gal 5:22-23 (Vulgate). The modern tranlations from the Greek list nine fruits, combining in thir tranlslations some of the twelve in the Vulgate for this list charity, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, patience, gentleness, faithfulness, sel-control. |

97 | what is the sanhedrin | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 114794 | ||
Judaism 101 A Glossary of Basic Jewish Terms and Concepts Sanhedrin "Sanhedrin" - (m., pl. "Sanhedriyaot") - 1. the Jewish "Supreme Court;" it consisted of seventy one great Torah Sages, who met in the "Lishkat HaGazit," the "Office of Hewn Stone," adjacent to the Temple in Jerusalem; 2. The Masechta, or Folio of the Talmud that discusses the activities of the Sanhedrin, and related matters. The Rabbis who were the members of the Sanhedrin had all received "Semichah," the formal passing over of the Tradition from their teachers. On the floor of the Sanhedrin were debated the fundamental principles of the Torah, and the result was established by majority vote. Cases that were the most difficult or the most critical for the Jewish People were decided by the Sanhedrin. A majority had to be at least two votes. Any Capital case in which all the votes were for condemnation, was automatically changed to acquittal. There is discussion in the Talmud of the question of how frequently capital punishment was imposed by the Sanhedrin, although the Torah does explicitly allow for it. Some said that a Sanhedrin that imposed the death penalty once in seven years was considered "bloody;" another opinion is that it was seventy years. Another said that it depended on the generation. Yet another was that restraint in imposing the death penalty would increase the number of murderers in Israel. After the Temple was destroyed, the Sanhedrin moved from place to place in Israel. It finally was dissolved when, in the absence of the greatest Sages of Israel, the Institution of Semichah could no longer be applied. During the Middle Ages, there was an attempt to revive the Sanhedrin by re-instituting Semichah. But due to opposition by some of the Torah Sages of that generation, the idea never became a reality. http://www.ou.org/about/judaism/sanhedrin.htm |

98 | Meditation/Study | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 114973 | ||
8788, I think that study is more of an academic approach to gain knowlege about any subject including the Bible. On the other hand, mediattion is more of an exercise in wonderment and appreciation and even love going past the surface of just knowledge. Study of the Bible untempered by meditation on the Bible can lead to a haughty spirit. 1 Cor 8:1 ... we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies." I look forward to seeing other responses. Emmaus |

100 | how are we saved | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 115179 | ||
Are these two concept mutually exclusive? Those who believe in baptism for the remission of sins as Peter directed in Acts 2 and baptismal regeneration believe that it it is Jesus who baptized through his mystical body, the Church and that is the reason baptism is efficaious. They believe that they are baptised as Paul says in Romans 6 in the death and resuurection of Christ. water is merely the instrumental cause, Jesus, working in and through the sign, is the formal cause of the grace of salvation that is tranmitted, just as his body was the instrumental cause in his death and resurrection.
