Catholic Bible Study Series: Introduction

Thousands of years separate us from the time when Bible was written. The cultures in in which Bible came to existence no longer exist. Languages in which Bible was written are no longer spoken and the translations into almost any language loose something along the way. Literary styles that are present in the Bible have not been used in the modern literature. It is no wonder that studying the Holy Scripture can become a difficult task for both believers and un-believers alike, since in order to study Bible many other aspects of history, culture and even original languages have to be kept in mind. It is not to say that in order to understand Bible every one needs to read it in it’s original form. Many translations available today are quite good, but here and there a “trip” to the original text may help to unveil meaning of certain word or phrase.

Which Bible translation/edition to choose?

As a catholic you should keep in mind few things when choosing the Bible for you and your family. You need to know if particular translation or edition is approved by Catholic Bishops.

Catholics and the House Church Experience

A RECENT SCENARIO: An Hispanic man attended a House Church gathering with his wife and family. He loved the fellowship and could feel the presence of God during ministry moments. He has examined the fruits of those who attend and he has no doubt that this House Church his wife is occasionally dragging him off to is definitely of God.

Problem? He’s enjoying it far more than he ever imagined he would. He admitted that he’s attending Mass less frequently and is even feeling guilty about his spotty attendance at the Catholic Church. He confesses that he has entertained thoughts that he is a poor Catholic father and husband for not insisting that his family attend Mass. He’s worried about what his Catholic
relatives would think.

The House Church leaders listen to his concerns and, while assuring him of their love, also encourage him to continue to attend Mass if that is the way the Holy Spirit is leading him. After all, we must always obey the Holy Spirit. He is reminded that where the Legacy Church is concerned, it’s NOT to be considered “them” vs. “us” – it’s just US, the Body of Christ.
