Bible Question:
I'm really not trying to delve into the Catholic religion with this question. I am more asking anyone what their beliefs are on being able to "pray a fallen Christian into Heaven." I know that I typed this under the suicide topic and maybe I shouldn't have, but the real issue the previous statement. And just to clear this part up also, I will re-explain it. It really isn't an issue for only someone committing suicide. They believe this can be done with anyone that has fallen away and at that time died in some way. And it might not even come from anything they have been taught in their church. Meaning it could come from something other that her Catholic beliefs. EdB, Thank you for that last paragraph. That is a very good point and should be kept in mind often. I do not think their belief is rooted in hope of one they has lost. It is a belief that they said would hold up to the Bible for anyone. I am having them research and get back to me. me |
Bible Answer: tmjt21 I do not believe any true Christian religion believes they can pray anyone from hell to heaven. As I stated and Emmaus clarified Catholicism has a belief of Prugatory (which isn't hell but a chamber of heaven) that people can be prayed out of. However I think every major religion with the exception of those that believe in reincarnation all teach that once your dead you fate is sealed. EdB |
