What was the only time other than Jesus’ Baptism where all 3 persons in one God were present

A

The only other time all three persons were present was in the act of Creation:

  • “when God created the heavens” (shows God is the Father, as the Father is seen to be creative”
  • “Then God said ‘Let there be light’” (shows God is the Son, as God created using his Word - a reference to the Son (Word) of God)
  • “while a wind from God” (shows God is the Spirit, as breath/holy spirit in Hebrew is translated as ‘wind’ in English)

All of these quotes come from the creation story in Genesis 1: 1-3

Q

Where does the Authority of the Magesterium come from

A

Catholics believe that Jesus gave his 12 apostles apostolic authority to lead the Catholic Church on earth. As leader of the 12, Peter received special authority to lead the Church as pope.

“You are Peter, and upon this rock, I will build my Church” (Jesus to Peter in Matthew 16:19)

At Pentecost, it is believed the apostles received a special power (charism) from the Holy Spirit to use for the good of the Church.

The pope and the bishops today are seen as part of an unbroken, direct line that goes back to the 12 apostles and Jesus himself

Q

What are the Catholic Church’s expectations of how Catholics should follow Magesterium

A

Catholics are expected to take Magisterium teachings very seriously. This is because:

• Authority to make decisions has come from Christ himself

• The Magisterium is guided by God in making correct doctrines
(teachings).

When a pope makes an official doctrine he can choose to declare it infallible - meaning that it cannot be wrong (in reality, even this decision would be in consultation with bishops).

Q

How did the Council of Nicaea (325 CE) come about (why did it happen)

A

One of the most important debates took place at the beginning of the fourth century CE, about a heresy called Arianism. The priest Arius taught that only God the Father was eternal. He said that the Son had a beginning before time began, so so ‘there was when he was not’.

The bishops of the Church met at a Council in the Turkish town of Nicaea in 325CE to discuss this idea, which they decided to reject.

Q

Who was St.Augustine and how did he start trying to describe the Trinity?

A

St. Augustine (an inspired Christian), one of the greatest early thinkers (died in 430CE), tried to shed some light on the mystery of the Trinity.

He started trying to describe the Trinity with the Bible quote:

“God is love”

34
Q

Process of St.Augustine trying to describe the Trinity

A
  • God is love
  • Love can’t exist on its own
    (It needs a person who loves, a person who is loved, and the love itself)
  • He concludes that the Trinity is three persons united in love…
  • The Father and the Son love each other and the Spirit is the love that unites them
  • The Holy Spirit pours God’s love into the hearts and lives of believers

(God is relational = can be known personally)

35
Q

Why is Augustine trying to explain the Trinity seen as a Sacred Writing

A

Augustine trying to explain the Trinity is seen as sacred writing, as he was seen as an “Inspired Christian”, meaning be was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what he did.

36
Q

What is Catherine LaCugna’s modern version of describing the Trinity

A
  • The Trinity is three persons united in love - the Holy Spirit is the love that unites Father and Son
  • God’s love constantly flows from the Trinity to believers
  • The Son came to earth to bring people into relationship with the Father (Incarnation)
  • The Holy Spirit continually guides people towards the Father (heaven) (Redemption)
37
Q

What are 2 similarities between St Augustine and LaCunga describing the Trinity

A
  • Both St. Augustine and La Cugna stress the role in the life of the Trinity
  • They both recognise the importance of eternal relationship between the Father, Son, and Spirit
38
Q

What are 2 differences between St Augustine and LaCunga describing the Trinity

A
  • La Cugna stresses that humans can know the Trinity through what the Trinity reveals: it’s outwards effects. This revelation allows humans too to share in the life of the Trinity
  • St.Augustine focuses more on the relationship within the Trinity. He acknowledges that this flows outwards into the lives of believers, but believes it is the inner relationship of the Trinity that is essential
39
Q

Bible Quote that shows the idea behind Baptism

A

“Because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts.”

(Galatians 4:6)

40
Q

What are the 2 meanings of the quote on Baptism

“Because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts.”

A
  1. Christians can have a close relationship with God (through baptism they can become a ‘child of God’)
  2. The Holy Spirit is shared with all believers in baptism.
41
Q

How were Early Christians Baptised (and what does it symbolise)

A

Early Christians were baptised by being fully submerged under water - this symbolises joining Jesus in the tomb after his death.

Rising up and out of the water symbolised joining in with Jesus’ ressurection - starting a new life as a Christian

(The symbolsim is the same today, however, the practice in the Catholic Church is only pouring of water on a person’s head, not full submersion)

42
Q

What does the Catholic Baptism symbolise (what is it believed to show/happen + 4 things it symbolises)

A

Only a small amount of water is poured in the head… but the idea of joining with Jesus’ death and resurrectionnis exactly the same

It symbolises:

  1. A new stage of life as a Christian (child of God)
  2. The joining in with Jesus’ death and ressurrection
  3. Committing the person’s life to God
  4. The use of water represents the Holy Spirit
43
Q

What is the Importance of Baptism for Christians

A
  • Christians share in Christ’s victory over sin and death (this gives Christians, if they lead a faithful life, the opportunity to go to heaven)
  • It’s pledge that the person will join God in heaven after they die
  • It cleanses the person of Original Sin
  • They are filled with the Holy Spirit giving them the strength to resist evil
44
Q

Which Christian Denominations don’t believe Baptism is a sign of inititaion?

A

For all Christians today, except the Quakers and the Salvation Army, baptism is a sign of initiation through which a person becomes a member of the Church.

45
Q

What do the Quakers believe on areas such as Baptism? (compared to the Catholic Church)

A
  • They don’t regard some activities as more sacred than others, nor do they believe that any particular ritual is needed to get in touch with God, so they do not believe in the sacraments
  • Instead of using ‘holy’ rituals, Quakers attempt to carry the sacred nature into every part of their life. So, for example, they say that Baptism should not be “a single act of initiation” but continuing growth in the Holy Spirit and a commitment that must continually renewed.
  • Quakers do not celebrate festivals such Easter and Christmas, they believe that the events celebrated at such festivals (e.g the ressurection and the incarnation) should be kept in mind throughout the year
  • Quakers believe that if they wait silently for God, there will be times when God will speak directly to them
