Bible Question: Catholisism teaches prayer for the deads salvation, as a Protestant and a Baptist, why do we not do the same, or how come they are not apart of our bylaws. I also realized that they have other books in there bible like 1 and 2 macovi. (sorry if I misspelled that). |
Bible Answer: Heyyoo79, Catholics believe that at death you are either saved or not. You are are going to heaven or hell. Nothing that happens after death can change that, including prayers. Catholics do pray for the dead. They believe in a final purging of all attachement to sin. They call this purging or final cleaning Purgatory. based on 1 Cor 3:15, Rev 21:27. So we pray that those we love, whom we hope are saved by the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, will undergo their prurification sepeedily and enter into the fullness and joy of God's presence. http://www.catholic.com/library/Purgatory.asp http://www.catholic.com/library/Roots_of_Purgatory.asp Here is something on the books in the Old Testament canon. http://www.catholic.com/library/Old_Testament_Canon.asp Emmaus |
