1 | Verses where water alone means baptism? | John 3:5 | flinkywood | 134677 | ||
Tim, In Catholic theology original sin is distinct from the sins of the flesh. Catholics view baptism as a sacrament (in that it effects what it symbolizes) that washes us clean of the former; the latter remains for us to struggle against with self-examination and confession. That struggle is integral to our sanctification. Interesting. Colin |

Colin, In Catholic theology, when an adult or child older than an infant is baptized, all sins committed by that person up to that time as well as original sin are remitted or forgiven. Any furue sins are dealt with by the spiritual warfare as you mentioned and by confession. Emmaus Emmaus |

Emmaus, Catholic theology is thickly interwoven. Strand by strand it gets curioser and curioser. Colin |

4 | Verses where water alone means baptism? | John 3:5 | Dalcent | 134741 | ||
It is fascinating to the student of theology, and those who charge the Catholic Church with error to compare our beliefs with those Churches who broke off after the Council of Chalecedon 451, viz. the Monophysite or (more politically correct these days) the non-Chalcedonians. Most importantly the great historical patriarchate of Alexandria. We have such a Church in my city of London, viz. of Egyptian Coptic Christians who I have enjoyed visiting. You will find they hold virtually all the distinctives of Catholicism despite being entirely separate for 1565 years. The accusation of Catholicism's "errors" belonging to the medieval period is sheer myth and examining these Christians will put that lie to rest.

Dalcent, I'm studying Catholic theology and trying to understand the true nature of the Catholic-Protestant rift. I've also come to detest the invective shouted across this idiotic divide. Colin |
