Subject: Thank you, HB Author: dori [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 23:14:20 08/22/09 Sat In reply to: Hillbilly 's message, "Really it's not difficult at all" on 21:23:07 08/21/09 Fri Your last paragraph reaffirms Catholic teaching that we must strive daily to remain in a state of grace; and if we stumble, to seek forgiveness from the Lord. Your study on this topic has been enlightening. Thanks to Murray for bringing it up. *-) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: With one difference Author: Hillbilly [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:27:23 08/23/09 Sun concerning the "state of grace". I believe the Catholic Church teaches that one must "get right" to re-enter into salvation while the passages I pointed to show that sin brings punishment to the Christian but does not include loss of salvation. To confess and repent of those sins is to have them removed so as not to suffer loss at the judgment seat of Christ. That loss concerns rewards and not salvation. Thanks for posting that.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Yes, I think that's close, but Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:44:34 08/23/09 Sun The church teaches we can be forgiven for sins. Where we differ from what you believe is that if we would happen to die while not in a state of grace (that means we sinned and didn't confess it to God and ask for forgiveness) we will not be saved. I think we all pretty much believe the same thing about salvation, we just have different takes on some of these points.
