I have more faith and hope in wearing a brown scapular and staying in a state of grace by going to Confession as instructed in John 20:23 than “sinning, and sinning bolding”.
It’s easy to see how Luther’s revolt was so quickly accepted by weak and/or uneducated Catholics. Kind of like Mohammed’s religion. It’s so easy and so physically pleasing to the flesh.
I'm telling you....that brown scapular is a sign of no faith in the promises made by Christ. Talk about sinning boldly.
Anyone who does this is rejecting the Savior's promises and placing their hope in a piece of fabric.
Think about what you're saying.
Again, I'll ask you for a passage in the New Testament that tells us we are to place our trust in the scapular and the false promises of the apparition at Fatima.
John 5:24:
24“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
Regarding John 20:23. I explained how Peter....and the other disciples and then other believers did this and continue to do this. The Gospel is shared with non-believers. I gave you the quote from Acts 3.
The only way sins can be forgiven is through Christ as noted in the passage I posted from Colossians. We believe His promises and He wipes away our sins. The Greek behind Colossians 2:13-14 is pretty amazing.
