Bible Question: The prayer to St. Michael if repeated daily has an indulgece of 3 years , what is that referring to and mean? |
Bible Answer: An opposing view............................................. Hi MikeC, The question that you asked about indulgences deals with a specific belief of the Catholic branch of Christianity. Emmaus has recommended two websites that give more information on the subject from the Catholic perspective. Although, I respect Emmaus as a fellow forum member, and almost always agree with his posts, I do disagree with this Catholic belief. I would like to point out that the Protestant branch of Christianity has a very different perspective on indulgences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indulgences http://www.ianpaisley.org/article.asp?ArtKey(put an equals sign here)indulgences http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2001/109/45.0.html However, this is not an issue that I want to get in a debate about, and to do so would get this thread blocked anyway :) |
