Your post reminds me of a former catholic who now has full assurance of her salvation and is teaching others the Gospel Message as Jesus taught it.
She often shared some of the things she learned in catholicism and how she never felt she could live up to all the requirements...adding that she felt weighed down.
LOL...well Only Jesus would know that....but interesting that you thought of that Elsie.
It's not a sin to attempt to contact dead people??? Is it a sin to pray TO people who have died???
Look at Deuteronomy 18:11.
It is never a sin to ask someone, living or dead, to pray to God for us. Such being a sin is found nowhere in the Bible. It is just your opinion. I am surprised that you, as someone who claims sola Scriptura, would suggest something so dogmatically that is not found in the Bible. Not so sola Scriptura after all if your human reasoning trumps the Bible.
Thanks for re sending that to Mama. If I ever had to do that, at my age, it would never be for beauty. Nothing will help that, but my honey thinks it is better what is IN my head, than what is ON my head. She thinks I am cool. I really got her fooled.
Now, as to your other question. Lev 20:6, Lev 19:31, Deut 18:9-12. Isaiah 8:19, 2 Kings 21:6, 2 Kings 23:24, Lev 20:27, 1 Sam 28:7-19, Isaiah 19:3. These were called necromancers, among other names, and they practiced necromancy. Imagine that.
Synonyms: bewitchery, conjuring, devilry, diablerie, enchantment, Ensorcellment, mojo, magic, sorcery, voodooism, witchcraft, wizardry. Since I am not planning on playing ANY Bill Clinton type words games, ahs is not zayin' no mo about dat in dis here tread. Rightly or wrongly, people are free to believe whatever they like.
He could plant grass today, and see it 3 inches high in the meantime.
It is called the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass:
The one sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross made present to us in the Mass and always directed to God the Father and no one else.
Oh my word! Crazy.
Well, my eyes look half closed so it is definitely so I can see. They have been swollen from both surgeries and then my allergies did not help any. Be careful how you fall so you do not tear eye muscles. It is no fun whatsoever, esp having a surgeon use tweezers afterwards to stretch the eye muscles. After my last stretch, she told me I was her best patient because I did not move when she was using the tweezers. I had no intention of moving with those in my eye!
Thanks Sweetie. I can use all the prayers you can send. Oh, that 2007 Honda finally got over 20,000 miles on it. I am improving. : )
Like someone would have saved it...LOLOLOLOLOL...And now they pray to it...Who in their right mind??????????
Now that's not what I ask, is it??? I'm not interested in you answering a question I didn't ask...What's the problem, you a little leary about answering the question???
If you want to see catholic superstitions, visit the Philippines. It is SO pervasive, that even true born again Christians need to be set straight sometimes. My honey, a Christian lady, wanted to put garlic on the window sill. I just said no, that is a superstition. We don't do superstitions.
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones, now hear the word of the Lord. I have a feeling many will rise again to everlasting shame and contempt, so I have no intention of leaving my salvation to chance. Make sense?
Look, there are some super fine catholic people out there. I know some, like some of my former catholic high school classmates. I have some friendly banter with a couple of them, but it is true, I also felt that no matter how I tried, I could not live up to their requirements. When I told a priest I could not do it, all he did, was tell me to lead a good life. You don't think that didn't frustrate me? Things are different now. 😇
Even as a catholic, I had never heard of this one, until today. Incredible.
Is this considered an example of the great intellectual prowess that Catholic brag on or is simply a finessing of the RF guidelines against not calling anyone a liar?
