have faith and 'find the pleasure of reading the Gospels for his own account, to hear Christ's words echo still strong in our world, our hearts and learn how to interpret the Gospel message, which is universal (and not only culturally Jewish-old and endorsed by the ecclesiastical hierarchy in the message to only one interpretation) resonates in so many different strings, one for every soul on Earth. Cosi ', if the Church reads the Gospel during Mass, and its interpretation, let us also highlight the steps that the more' feel vibrate within us, we make it alive and not dead the Word handed down to us, we discover what is not stressed enough and understand what is more ' important for the man who unites us, makes us feel siblings regardless of religion (that of "religious" or wire).
And often it is the ancient commentators, who proclaims the church Doctors of the Catholic Church, to illuminate the steps of the gospel in a language devoid still clean, not contaminated by the dogmatism of the councils, medieval fanaticism, bad example of Popes, from modernism and dall'intrasigenza doctrine (and 'so' and that's it, otherwise you're out) and it 'nice to discover, as San Augustine well that differentiates the first resurrection the second resurrection .
first read John
| " Verily, verily I say unto you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and does not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life. Verily, verily, I say the time has come, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. as the Father has life in itself himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself, and gave him the power to judge, because he is the Son of man. Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming when all who that are in the graves shall hear his voice and come forth, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation. I can not do anything by myself, I judge as I hear, and my opinion is right, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. "(John 5-24) |
Following is commentary by St. Augustine in the cities of God, which I reproduce in full, 'cause in my opinion explains magistrarlmente the two resurrections of the passage of John, first, that of souls, without trial, taking place now, in time, when the soul embraces the Faith, and the second resurrection, the final and timeless human (and it 's useless waiting time), that "in the flesh" (no doubt, in the Greek translation from Hebrew meaning and' just what) in accordance with the mentality 'of the Old Hebrew Sheol.
The City 'of God, Book XX, chap 6
The two resurrections in John ... 6.1. Then he adds: Verily, verily, I say that the time has come, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will have life. As the Father has life in himself, so he gave the Son to have life in himself .
does not talk yet the second resurrection, that of the body, as it will in the end, but the first that occurs over time. To distinguish said The time has come, and this is . In fact, it is not the body but the soul.
The soul has its own death through lack of faith and sins. They died of his death those whom the Lord says: Let the dead bury their dead , in effect, that is, that the dead bury the dead soul in the body.
And for the dead soul to a lack of faith and honesty, he says, The time has come, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who are discouraged live. For those who wanted to hear those who obey, believe and persevere to the end. In this step has not indicated any difference in good and bad. For all
it is good to hear his voice and live the life of faith through the death of his lack of faith.
of this death, the Apostle Paul said: therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should not live for themselves but for him who died and rose for their . Therefore all have died, without exception, the original sin that so voluntarily or through ignorance or because, knowing, not good works.
And for all the dead one is alive than dead, ie, had absolutely no pity for those who live by the forgiveness, no longer live for themselves but for him who died for all because of our sins and was raised for our justification. This
that all of us, believing in him, incredulous that redeems, redeemed from the incredulity, almost back to life from death, could belong to the first resurrection which occurs over time. At first it does not belong only those who will be happy in eternity, and he teaches that the second of which is about to speak, are part of the happy and unhappy. The current
and mercy, the other of the proceedings. That is a Psalm was written: I will sing, Lord, Mercy and Judgement.
... and the two reviews, one of condemnation.
6. 2. With regard to that finding adds the words: and gave him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man . In the passage suggests that it will come to judge the same flesh in which he had come to be judged. In order says: Since it is the Son of Man. And he added on the subject we are dealing with says Do not marvel at this, because the time will come when all who are in the graves shall hear his voice and come forth, those who do good to the resurrection of life, those who worked for the evil a rise to be condemned. is the concept that shortly before trial, as now, had used to condemn. He told: who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and does not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life .
In fact, since it belongs in the first resurrection, by which time we pass from death to life, will not go to the condemnation of that meeting stated the term of the proceedings, as well as in the passage where he says: Those who have done evil will meet Resurrection of the trial, that the sentencing . rises again in the first resurrection, those who do not want to be condemned in the second. It is a time and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live, that will not go to the condemnation of that meeting is considered the second death. In it, after the second resurrection, which will be of the bodies, will turn out those who are not raised in the first is that of souls.
It says: will come a time therefore, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice and come forth . He did not say in the manner of the first resurrection: And those who hear will live. In fact, not all will live the life that should be considered only because life is happy. Certainly not without a few lives could hear, and because the meat was raised, out of the tombs.
Indicates the reason that not everyone will live with the following words: Those who do good works, he says, will in the resurrection of life, these are the ones who will live, then those who have done evil will go to the resurrection of the trial; and they are the ones who will not live because they will die the second death. They do evil because they have lived evil are evil because they are not relived experiences in the first resurrection of souls, which is in time, or may not have persevered to the end in a position where they were. Therefore they are new creations, which I have already spoken, according to a faith that takes place over time through baptism and the other in the flesh that will happen with his immortality, out of becoming through the universal Last Judgement .
So there are two resurrections, one before and it is in the time of the soul, and it does not get to the second death, and a second that is not in time, but it will be the end of time, and it is not body and soul but it through the final assessment, introduces the second death, others to life without death.
