Wrong. Life itself cannot die. The thing that conquered death wasn't the death of God, but of a sinless man whom death could not hold because the power of death is then broken. Death is the penalty for sin. When the sinless man, Jesus, died, that power was broken.

Amazing...a brand new concept of redemption. Well, I guess when you are your own Pope, you can write encyclicals and everything....and the phrase what you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven...applies now to you...I'm impressed!!!!

Amazing...a brand new concept of redemption.

I have no doubt for a minute that that is new for a Catholic.

But that hardly makes it a brand new concept of redemption.

It's just a concept that the Catholic church kept its members ignorant of for so many years, like so many other Biblical concepts.
