    Purgatory?

    I could see that. I recall hearing during sermons that baptism is what we are clothed with when we go to the Wedding Feast. Original Sin is what I consider the root sin that causes all the sins that we actually commit. We inherit this disobedience from our first parents, Adam and Eve. So, in the...

    Purgatory?

    Sorry, but I still struggle with the Old Adam even now, in this life. The Holy Spirit will continue to work on my sanctification, but Original Sin, while forgiven in baptism, is still the chief sin I inherited from Adam. I am conscious of my sin, which although forgiven, is ever before me.

    Purgatory?

    You mean death? We die and are consigned to Heaven or Hell. When our spirits rejoin our bodies on the last day, those bodies will be perfected in the elect.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 4

    I'm going to read a little bit of The Lutheran Difference and, depending upon how I feel, I might even be strong enough to go to work tomorrow. It's very nigh bedtime.

    Purgatory?

    Just so there's no misunderstanding what we mean by the term. :P

    Thanks for the recommendation, MC. I'll have to give it a read.

    The RCC and Lizzie the College Student

    Lizzie's a College lib. Listen to her stuff and you'll hear things like " the Catholic Church won't be around in sixty years if it doesn't change its attitude about gay marriage." She really is little more than a parrot ( eye candy, to be sure, in a waifish way), as Josiah's already pointed out.

    :smirk: Hey, don't knock it too much, man. The contents are really engrossing and the book very difficult to put down.

    The RCC and Lizzie the College Student

    I think Lizzie's an airhead. I agree with what you say, Josiah and it grieves me that people are not more fully aware of those branches of Protestantism that don't fall under the American Evangelical umbrella. The best antidote for that is to get out there and discuss. Eradicate the silly notion...

    Oh dear Oh my! Tongues again ...

    Lutheran Satire does manage to make some very good points, while still being funny. " Yeah, pretty sure you've got a demon there, Daryl."

    The RCC and Lizzie the College Student

    I got through about six minutes of it. She really just kind of rehashes Catholic Apologetics ( and doesn't really look too bright in doing so) and goes into the same sort of arguments we've already heard and read about a thousand times before. Yes, she should certainly open a book and read about...

    Do You Believe in Ghosts (Seriously)?

    No, ghosts are not real. The dead go to Heaven or Hell. I've no doubt that demons can and do impersonate the dearly departed for their own twisted reasons.

    Christianity and Evangelicalism

    Looks right to me. Well said. I was another of that notable minority of Catholics who actually read the CCC. You nearly did need a magnifying glass to read all the notations they had put there. My 1994 Catechism is somewhere with my Catholic Bible.. on a bookshelf or something. The Lutheran...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 4

    I walked the dog and had my meds refilled. I'll be taking less Virtussin because now, I'm pretty sure I am convalescing, rather than getting sicker.
