Dear PYLE, I have no clear understanding of this scripture, though I have heard a lot of theories. I am pretty sure what it does NOT mean. It does not mean that we can procure salvation or cleansing for one after their death. This would go against the whole of New Testament teaching of personal salvation. Salvation or cleansing by proxy is inconceivable. | ||||||

Dear charis: I admire you. I see that you gave this good answer and resisted getting involved in the long discussion that flows below. It helps me to understand the meaning of the little word "grace". I notice also that the original questioner has asked more than one provocative question and then declined to participate further. They might have returned to thank you for your answer, and I will leave space here for them to do that. As it is, we do not even know the person's name because they left no profile, and we certainly do not know the need or motive. May the Lord protect us from ourselves and from our love of discussion on things that do not edify. I myself am not sure what the word "edify" really means, but I do not think it means to be satisfied when a good point has been made. One can only hope that PYLE read your reply and then went on live well and to serve others and the Lord. |
