Topic: Holy Writ


  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Bible
The truths of Christian revelation were made known to the Apostles either by Christ Himself or by the Holy Ghost.
The primary author is the Holy Ghost, or, as it is commonly expressed, the human authors wrote under the influence of Divine inspiration.
They are sacred and canonical "because, having been written by inspiration of the Holy Ghost, that have God for their author, and as such have been handed down to the Church".

This passage of Holy Writ has been the object of much speculation and around it have been erected many fabricated structures foreign to the truth.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not directly connected with repentance; it reaches much farther and accomplishes purification and the bestowment of power.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit, and of fire, are not, as some suppose, two different baptisms, one of the Spirit and the other of fire; but they are different phases of the same baptism.

Then to his hands that writ he did betake, Which he disclosing read, thus as the paper spake.
(Law) An instrument in writing, under seal, in an epistolary form, issued from the proper authority, commanding the performance or nonperformance of some act by the person to whom it is directed; as, a writ of entry, of error, of execution, of injunction, of mandamus, of return, of summons, and the like.

In regard to holy writ the bishops were careful that no false books be counted in with the genuine collection which was left by the Apostles, and also that the original writings of the Apostles themselves be not injured or marred by heretics through the least addition or omission.
Secondly, an authentic hierarchy is such, which confesses all the truths of holy religion, for there are heresies, which entirely deprive bishops and priests of their ministerial grace.
Thirdly, a Priesthood to be lawful must administer the Sacraments orderly, according to the rules of the Holy Church Catholic, not changing essential actions, as there are acts and conditions in the rites of Mysteries that are essential, without which a certain Sacrament may not be valid.

 3. The Deity of the Holy Spirit
In the last chapter we endeavored to supply from the testimony of Holy Writ abundant and clear evidence that the Holy Spirit is a conscious, intelligent, personal Being.
It was Jehovah who spoke by the mouth of all the holy Prophets from the beginning of the world (Luke 1:68, 70), yet in 2 Peter 1:20 it is implicitly declared that those Prophets all spoke by "the Holy Spirit" (see also 2 Sam.

 Holy Scripture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holy Scripture (or Sacred Scripture, meaning the Holy Writings) is a term of reverence used by Christians when referring to the Bible.
The older branches of Christianity accept the idea that metaphor and poetry are an integral part of their composition; certain traditions, however, especially in Protestantism, consider these writings to be factually accurate, and thus inerrant (see Fundamentalist Christianity).
For a Hindu, the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita would be regarded as a Holy Scripture, as would be the sutras for a Buddhist.

 1. The Holy Spirit
Yet important as is our subject, and prominent as is the place given to it in Holy Writ, it seems that it has always met with a considerable amount of neglect and perversion.
What is needed today is for the saints to get down on their faces before God, cry unto Him in the name of Christ to so work again, that what has grieved His Spirit may be put away, and the channel of blessing once more be opened.
Until the Holy Spirit is honored, sought, and counted upon, the present spiritual drought must continue.

 Christianity and Mathematics
I undertake to prove that God, in creating the universe and regulating the order of the cosmos, had in view the five regular bodies of geometry known since the days of Pythagoras and Plato, and that he has fixed according to those dimensions, the number of heavens, their proportions and the relations of their movements.
Galileo himself began to put forward theological as well as scientific arguments, including use of the Holy Scripture to support the Copernican theory, something he had strongly argued against earlier when he stated that the Holy Scripture was intended only for moral teaching, not to teach physics.
One of the major points of disagreement was whether an individual could form their own interpretation of the Holy Scripture (the Protestant view) or whether, as the Catholic Church argued and had stated clearly after the Council of Trent in 1546, everyone must accept the interpretation of the Holy Scripture made by the Catholic Church.

 Holy Blood, Holy Writ :: lashtal.com :: Thelemic News and Culture
IT APPEARS THAT Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln, authors of the 1982 bestseller The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, are considering suing Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code, for breach of copyright of ideas and research.
In Brown’s hands, the Holy Grail is the hidden body of Mary Magdalene – and one of those searching for it is a crippled millionaire historian named Leigh Teabing.
His Christian name is the surname of one of Holy Blood’s authors, while the strange surname is an anagram of another, Baigent.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Scripture
The Apostles knew that "prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost" (2 Peter 1:21); they regarded "all scripture, inspired of God" as "profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice" (2 Timothy 3:16).
It is not surprising, then, that the earliest Christian writers speak in the same strain of the Scriptures.
Benedict XIV required that the vernacular version read by laymen should be either approved by the Holy See or provided with notes taken from the writings of the Fathers or of learned and pious authors.

He served as the tutor to the Dauphin (the French prince) from 1670 to 1681 and was appointed the Bishop of Meaux in 1682.
His treatise, Politics Derived from Holy Writ, is a classic expression of the theory of the divine right of kings.
Behold an immense people united in a single person; behold this holy power, paternal and absolute; behold the secret cause which governs the whole body of the state, contained in a single head: you see the image of God in the king, and you have the idea of royal majesty.

 Lessons from Luther on the Inerrancy of Holy Writ - Dr. John Warwick Montgomery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
It is surely of more than routine significance that belief in the unqualified accuracy of Holy Writ conditioned the thinking of nearly all influential western minds from the beginning of the Christian era to the rise of modern secularism in the 18th century.
This is not an indifference to the problems (otherwise Luther would hardly have "labored assiduously" to solve them) nor an indifference to alleged errors in Scripture; it is just the opposite: because the Reformer is so convinced that God's Word cannot err or contradict itself, he refuses to be shaken by an unresolved difficulty.
Surely this is biblical criticism writ large: the "internal criticism" of the Canon of Scripture.

 Despoiling Holy Writ
While I believe it is wrong for U.S. officials to desecrate the hallowed writings of any religious group, I am considerably more concerned about the defiling of the sacred writings of my own faith.
Moreover, I can't understand why there hasn't been, at least by the Christian church itself, shock and outrage at radical feminism's new translation of the Scriptures that depicts Christ as a woman, named "Judith Christ," and God as a female.
Whether feminism, humanism, or whatever "ism" makes no difference; to put one's hand to literally change the text of the Bible, to add or take away from it, is one of the highest sins against God.

 CULTH200 The Holy Writ: Sacred Texts - California College of the Arts
It considers their common features as well as differences and brings into play the manner in which their message has informed a wide variety of aesthetic manifestations from art forms to philosophical and theological readings of the meaning of the world and of existence.
The main texts for the course are the Homeric epics, the Torah, the New Testament, the Holy Qur'an, the Bhagavad Gita, the I Ching, and the Popol Vuh.
In order to provoke discussion on the continuing relevance of sacred texts for modernity and postmodernity, the course concludes by evaluating Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra as one significant contemporary European effort to create a new sacred text compatible with the ironies and counter-ironies of secular discourse.

 Medieval Sourcebook: Ralph Glaber: On the First Millenium Untitled
Warned by the prophecy of Holy Writ, we see clearer than daylight that in the process of the Last Days, as love waxed cold and iniquity abounded among mankind, perilous times were at hand for men's souls.
For by many assertions of the ancient fathers we are warned that, as covetousness stalks abroad, the religious Rules or Orders of the past have caught decay and corruption from that which should have raised them to growth and progress..
At that time, moreover, that is in the ninth year after the aforesaid thousandth anniversary, the church at Jerusalem which contained the sepulchre of our Lord and Saviour was utterly overthrown at the command of the prince of Babylon..
