There are no examples of praying to or for the dead in the New Testament or the OT.

Is that right? Cherry-picking again?

[46] It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins. 2 Maccabees 12

Or did Luther excise that quote also from your personalized bible also?

You display a pathetic knowledge of the bible.

If only 2 Maccabees were a part of the OT you might have something.

But again you don't.

You suggest I display a lack of Bible knowledge. My Bible has plenty of admonitions against idol worship. That scapular you claim you wear falls into that category.

I don't know what you hang up with Luther is. I don't follow him.

I follow Christ. And He never said anyone needs to wear a piece of cloth to avoid the hell fire. So no. The catholic who relies upon the piece of cloth to keep them out of hell is displaying a disdain for the words of Christ.

But it's not too late. There is forgiveness for all sins.

Ditch the scapular and read John 5. John 5:24 is what you're looking for.

I'll ask again....do you believe His promise He made in John 5:24?

It seems that some of our separated FR Catholic brethren think that proclaiming, "You are a cheery picker!", let's them off of the hook tom have to explain or even respond to others.


Are you one of them?
