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.
Do you doubt the Shroud of Turin also? That’s a fabric.
How about the veil of Veronica?
P.S. I don’t care what you believe in.
Again, I'll ask you when you confessed your sins and had them either forgiven or retained by one of Christ's ministers?
I have no problem in believing things outside the Bible and I know that's a problem for you. But I find it ironic that you cherry-pick the very "bible" you swear by.
