    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Dear Taken, Jesus IS the Christ. To speak of Jesus is to speak of Christ. And to speak of Christ is to speak of Jesus. Christ most certainly DID come forth from Mary's womb. Let heaven and earth rejoice! The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of...

    From miram webster: : to continue in a place : SOJOURN. will abide in the house of the Lord So then can God 'continue in Mary's womb' unless there be no sin? Can God abide in sin? Peace!

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Hello David, 'only'? just like the 'only' thing special about the ark was that it carried some holy stuff? Can God abide in sin? Agreed. Any Catholic who believed Mary was God and offered her latria would be committing a grave sin. Do you hold to the Creed? Do you understand what the...

It is not a removal of dirt from the body but an appeal to God for a clear...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Indoctrinated, no , faith and reason both believe and affirm our Lord's words: 'the gates of hell will not prevail against it' So much here that I agree with but sin will not always 'be there'. When we are baptised ALL sin is washed away, and we are made anew, holy and pure, and thus we CAN...

    Is the Pope as he claims “God on Earth”...

    Indeed this is serious, which is why Cardinal Ratzinger wrote the document I posted and why JohnPaul the Great promulgated it. Here's some more from it (bolding by me) 9. In contemporary theological reflection there often emerges an approach to Jesus of Nazareth that considers him a...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    How do you know that? While we're on the subject, how do you know the books of the NT are complete? Or if maybe a couple should be removed? Oh that's right.. Orthodox and catholic communuties preserved and collated them, copied them and distributed them... And agreed in councils of their...

    John 3:5... YES! ANOTHER BAPTISM THREAD!

    Well of course. It's Jesus that baptizes, that HE uses a man to pour the water doesn't mean HE didn't do it. This goes for all the sacraments. Its Jesus who presides... Peace!
