I'm just curious. A simple, one word answer is all that is needed. What do you say, yea or nay?
Pray for JP II
I would have to say, that would greatly depend. This is not a dodge. I don't think It's a fair question because to this point, we don't agree entirely upon what the Catholic Church teaches. With that Caviat, I'll say this: If one is saved, and then proceeds through life in obedience to God and his word, they are Christian - John 10: the sheep hear and obey - follow Christ. If one is not following in obedience, they do not fit the description and are therefore not Christian. That is Biblical definition. Now, if you can tell me how, as one example, one can pray to the dead in violation of Jewish Law every day and be considered in obedience to God, I'd love to hear the explanation of how that is spiritually or humanly possible. And Clinging to christian beliefs is nowhere in the definition. OOps again, I beleive. It doesn't say if you are disobedient but know better, your a sheep.. So based on scripture, answer your own question. My belief is on scripture. If the Scripture judges men plainly, it is supposed to. And if it angers people now, wait till it Judges them after death.
