Tell Christian (not Catholic)?
I always wonder, and maybe if u can shed light or pastor referred to this u:
Can a Christian baptized go to heaven, even if he is remorseful of their sins. I refer to baptism, all his previous sins will be forgiven, but what is the logic, if they continue to sin and can go to heaven?
For Catholic, I think this is where it fits in Purgatory (in line with substantial writtings of the Church Fathers, Doctors and Saints and the doctrine of the Church), where the soul is cleaned up to pay all their sins to God then .
So the confession is very important for a Catholic who seek God's forgiveness through a priest and given a penance.
PLS Can any Christians clear my doubts about this? Thanks! We appreciate constructive and not retailiating views.
- What is the order of a confession in the Roman Catholic Church?
- What does the Confession in the Catholic religion?
- Where can trace their roots even when the Protestant Bible originated in the Catholic Church?
- It is the act of contrition even said after the confession in the Catholic Church?
- What is the virtue of confession in the Catholic Church?
From a Catholic point of view, not every sin will send you directly to hell. Mortal sins can only do so.
A mortal sin is a grave violation of God's law that destroys the divine life in the soul of the sinner (sanctifying grace), constituting a turn away from God. A sin to be mortal, three conditions must be present: grave matter, full knowledge of the wickedness of the act, and full consent of the will.
Most of the sins being committed venial sins. Venial sin is a sin that does not destroy the divine life in the soul, as mortal sin, though it diminishes and wounds. Venial sin is not with the necessary restraint in matters of minor moral law, or in serious matters acting without full knowledge or complete consent.
However consistent unrepentant venial sin can slowly destroy your relationship with God and become mortal sin.
People die all the time with venial sins on their conscience and go to heaven.
With love in Christ.
It means, literally, sin, a lack of brand, according to the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible. God sets the "mark" that are intelligent creatures access. Missing the mark
is sin. The Bible also says that death is the payment for our sins. So in fact when we die, we pay for all the sins we have committed. When we arose, we will be judged not on what we have done in this life, but what we are doing in the new life. Romans 6:7 "he who has died has been acquitted of his sin" It would be unreasonable to resurrect people simply to be destroyed. Thus, in John 5:28, 29A, Jesus was pointing to the resurrection, and then the rest of verse 29, which are the results after having been elevated to human perfection and has been on trial.
This in no way condones deliberate sin. It also depends on the resurrection, if they remain in the memory of God for him to resurrect us. Those in Hell (permanent sleep) are already tried and will not be resurrected.
In my church, we are baptized for the remission of sins after baptism … you can ask forgiveness of all your sins and that God grants. But when you are baptized you also have to repent, which means giving up a life of sin. By doing so, you mess from time to time, but still have to walk a Christian life. After baptism can not go back to sinning. You can ask for forgiveness, even if they repent, and renounce whatever. For example, if the mistake of insulting someone, to ask forgiveness, but then ask God to help you not do it anymore. You belong to Him and He now wishes to live a godly life.
When a person is baptized are born again into a new life where they follow God. But we are human and are still … is our nature. But the thing is, we will ask God to forgive us and here is the big thing … being forgiven means that we must repent, meaning to go and not commit so he asked to be forgiven again. And a man can not forgive us for our sins … only God can do through Jesus Christ, because Jesus paid for our sins when He died on the cross and rose again. That's why it's there … interconnected for us to God the Father. Although it will never be perfect, we will continue to achieve that goal.
Good luck and God bless!
One can not "adpot" answers to questions outside their religious faith if we create our own "rules" on what can be done to get to "heaven."
As a Christian, I believe that most of the Scripture is open to interpretation. I do not think that there are absolute rights and wrongs in most writings. Hence the reason for the Protestant Reformation, although I am Catholic.
Baptism in the Catholic faith is the absolution of original sin to let a baby in a clean slate soul to enter heaven. It is for that person as to how to keep it clean in life.
As a Catholic, I do not agree with me said that the only way I can take my sins are absolved by a priest who is in the same boat I'm in this world. Christ is the ultimate judge of the end of days, I believe that if only he can truly repent acquit. People can be deceived by false repentance, Christ can not be.
I also believe that humanity no matter what faith you will reach the "other side" that is, if one does well to the right and his fellow neighbors. There is perhaps a "waiting room" for all souls until the day of trial, but nobody has to tell everyone else what to expect.
Having accepted Christ into your heart, it is your responsibility to be as sinless as possible. If we sin, we all are stubborm because of our human nature, we must ask God for forgiveness. The comittment to walk with Christ is a life of prayer and service, is not only a shot to try to accept Christ and then what they were doing before. Yes, people do this and, unfortunately, will enter into heaven, but the theory I've heard is that the rewards are much greater if you really live a holy life, as it implies. Our mission as Christians is to bring others to him. When we die, he will have the opportunity to show what could have done. I myself am opposed to Catholicism, as clearly stated in the Bible that we must confess our sins directly to God, among other things. 1 John 1:9
