Dave Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 so you call your friend on the phone and ask him to pray for you, but you use prayer to get a dead friend to pray for you. That is really funky sounding. So are they already wed to Christ now, or what according to your theology? Actually, "pray" also means "ask." That's how it was many years ago, at least. People, when inviting someone to sit down, for example, might say, "Pray, be seated." So thus we pray to a certain saint that they might pray for us and with us.

Do you believe you have a human body with a soul, and what do you think happens to that body and soul when you die?
cmotherofpirl Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 just a bit phat, but I'm interested in how circlemaster views the body and soul. THat is related to the Incarnation. Mary provided he body and God the soul, and Jesus the nature.
Jake Huether Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 jake, can i put this portion of ur post that i quoted above in the reference section? holla back, phatcatholic I'd be honored. Thank you!
Bruce S Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 what do you think happens to people when they die? Do you believe you have a human body with a soul, and what do you think happens to that body and soul when you die? Without worrying about intermediate steps. If you a saved, meaning to me, you have confessed Jesus with your mouth and heart, repented of sin, you will face judgement. However, instead of YOU being judged on YOUR merits, the intercessory death of Jesus, His attonement will substitute for you and you are "in" Ritual, denomination, sacraments, or even that beloved Scapula won't enter into anything at judgement time.
cmotherofpirl Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 ok can somebody start this as a new thread for me with my question to circle and bruce's response? Unfortunately I must get off the puter for a while. thanks
