Baptism

Germin Cajes

Baptism is the first sacrament of the Church that incorporates believers into the Christian community through water and the Holy Spirit. It finds its roots in biblical stories like Noah's Ark and symbolizes both death to sin and new life in Christ. The ordinary ministers are bishops, priests, and deacons, though in emergencies anyone can baptize with water and the Trinitarian formula. Baptism cleanses from original sin, makes one a member of the Church, and calls one to share in Christ's mission as prophet, priest and king. Infant baptism signifies God's initiative in loving the child from birth.

Christology

Jollybee Pilapil

This document discusses different approaches to understanding Jesus Christ through history. It begins with an overview of biblical, conciliar, and contemporary Christology. It then contrasts Christology "from above," which focuses on Jesus' divinity, and Christology "from below," which focuses on his humanity. While both are important, the latter approach helps appreciate Jesus' full humanity and inspires discipleship. The document also examines biblical sources for Jesus' life, the nature of the gospels, key aspects of his teachings and ministry, his death and resurrection, and ecumenical councils that defined the orthodox understanding of Christ's dual nature. It concludes with some current Christological issues.

Marriage as a Sacrament (with Activity)

Alie Baba

The document discusses marriage as a sacrament from both a historical and theological perspective. Historically, the Catholic Church's views on marriage evolved from the 2nd to 5th centuries when marriage was seen mainly as a way to beget children, to the Middle Ages when it became firmly established as one of the seven sacraments in the Catholic tradition. Theologically, a sacramental marriage is defined by its permanence, openness to procreation, and commitment to loving fidelity between spouses. The ceremony involves an exchange of vows and rings that symbolize the couple's lifelong commitment in Christ.

the paschal mystery

The Paschal mystery is the Passion, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ by which He heals us from sin and enables us to become children of God. The word 'atonement' describes Christ's saving action, implying both a repayment for our sins and a reunion of God and humanity. Through the atonement, Jesus repays our debt of guilt, gains mercy and repeals punishment, defeats the devil's claims over us, reconciles us to God, and fulfills Scripture and salvation history.

Lecture 5, Synthesis of Christ & Culture

The document summarizes the position of the "Church of the Center" and one of its subgroups called the "Synthesists" or those who believe in a "Christ Above Culture" view. The Church of the Center believes that believers irrationally combine devotion to Christ who rejects culture with devotion to culture that includes Christ. The Synthesists take a "both/and" approach - that Christ separates believers from overly accommodating views of culture but also from those who reject culture entirely. They believe Christ enters life from above with gifts like salvation that culture cannot provide on its own. The Synthesists view has strengths in recognizing that the Creator and Savior are one, that salvation does not

386 Six canonical letters in which the author explicitly .docx

386 Six canonical letters in which the author explicitly identifi es himself as Paul, Apostle to the Gentiles, contain discrepancies that cause scholars to question their Pauline authorship. Two of the letters—2 Thessalonians and Colossians—are still vigorously disputed, with a large minority championing their authenticity. But an over- whelming scholarly majority deny that Paul wrote the four others—Ephesians, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus. The latter three are called the pastoral epistles because the writer—as a pastor or shepherd— offers guidance and advice to his fl ock, the church. c h a p t e r 1 7 Continuing the Pauline Tradition 2 Thessalonians, Colossians, Ephesians, and the Pastoral Epistles Stand fi rm . . . and hold fast to the traditions which you have learned from us by word or letter. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 Keep before you an outline of the sound teaching which you heard from me. . . .

GNOSTICISM and HERESY Proportional to the Teachings of the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

William John Meegan

I advise those that don’t know my research to get acquainted with it otherwise much of what will be discussed in this paper will make little or no sense at all. Throughout my life I considered myself an initiate and devoted believer in the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church; though, I surpassed its rudimentary teachings some time ago I am still amazed at its incredible artistic and mystical structure and how the Church is fulfilling the mission that Christ entrusted to its care since the dawn of Christianity. Everything about the Roman Catholic Church and its mythoi (historicity) informs the soul as to the WHYS and WHEREFORES of it trials and tribulations in its quest for knowledge of the WORD OF GOD. Such research on the mythoi of Christianity explains what life is all about. In a very real sense my studies into the literature, artworks and monuments of Christianity is my personal prayer to God. It can be said, truthfully, without prejudice that Gnosticism and Heresy collectively symbolize the myriad forms of belief systems that spring out of the psyche: i.e. ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind of individual initiates meditating on the original narratives of Christianity; because, modernity is led to believe that initially there was, at the time, no standardized religious educational system that informed the vast majority of the populace (laity) as to what the standardized Christian belief system entailed. Or let us say this is the mythoi vis-à-vis the dawn of Christianity that has been past down to posterity by those that wrote the sacred scriptures. Personally, I beg to differ that this is what Gnosticism and Heresy is all about; however, I do believe that Gnosticism and Heresy were conceived and written by highly knowledgeable orthodox Catholics theologians. One of the most glaring truths about Gnosticism and Heresy in contrast to the Catholic Church is that the narrative structure and demeanor of the four gospels of the New Testament in contrast to the Gnostic Gospels and those of the heretics is that the literary ambiance of the New Testament has far more sophistication to its storyline and content as to what a historical document should look like. It is as if the Gnostic and Heretical writings were conceived as cat’s paws to teach the esotericism of the New Testament. I do not deny the true and valid spiritual teachings of the Gnostic and Heretical texts; however, these were only conceived as cat’s paws by the authors of the Old and New Testaments in order to fine-tune those texts as Christian historicity and to validate the reasons for them to be writing esoterically in the manner in which they were. Gnostic and Heretical texts never claim a historicity in fact they claim the extreme opposite of that mode of thought. Another very important clue that Gnosticism and Heresies were conceived by the early Christian theologians is the fact that esotericism is NEVER DISCUSSED. Now isn’t that an eye-opener.
