He still believes abortion is wrong. He seems to believe that all sins can be forgiven by God. Do the posters here disagree with that?
Not meaning to get in any argument with my Catholic friends here, but as a non-Catholic, I find it very foreign that priest, a bishop or even the Pope himself can absolve sin. Any sin. The blood of my Lord Jesus and his unyielding Grace is sufficient to forgive All Sin, even murder, even abortion, even blasphemy, and that is the only one I seek forgiveness from, except for those I may have wronged by my sin. At His death on the Cross, the curtain to the Holy of Holy’s was torn signifying we do not have to seek a High Priest any more to have fellowship with Him, or to ask for forgiveness.
Does God forgive all who truly repents...even the most heinous amongst us....Like abortion Dr Gosnell who murdered hundreds, thousands of babies....can God forgive such a monster or will he too me so appalled he would condemn him to Hell?
Myst - I honestly don't know.
I can't imagine it, but I can't imagine infinite knowledge either.
WOW...never thought I would see this..
It's what happens when they make a Jesuit the Pope.
But it never answered my one question that I have had all my life..is there one thing that even God can't forgive?
Holding grudges seems unbecoming of a supreme being.
btw..I am breaking one of my own rules...discussing religion..lol :smokin:
Shame...shame! Need I remind you of the "Wide-Awakes" punishment for owners... :silly:

Those were the days..... :nometalk:

Heh, heh. Someone should write a book. I'd guess few here today have a clue what we're even talking about...hopefully! :whistle:
I disagree with His Holiness on this...nuff said.
You ask God's forgiveness not a stand in. Go to the real forgiver. The pope is a joke. I was raised Catholic so don't say I have no knowledge of this religion because I do have knowledge and a bible to check this religions accuracy. I can say that this is not the one true church not even close and this pope is so not a Christian.

I sort of remember WA, but the details are fuzzy.
MAC. Did you hop over to The Fort after the demise of Wide Awakes? That's the route I took before someone mercifully invited me here. It's been all good ever since.

Then you must believe there are sins that can't be forgiven. That is not the teaching of any Church, to my knowledge, especially the Catholic Church.
And it is certainly not the teaching of Jesus.
God did not forgive all sins...especially the people of Sodom...but that's a whole other discussion.

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
I must say..those that were involved in the coup had great fun in planning it...and it was planned and executed well! :whistle:
Indeed, it came as quite a surprise to most of us there. Sure glad no one here had anything to do with it... *hmmmm*
Repentance is necessary for the forgiveness of sin.
The only unforgiveable sin is believing that you have committed a sin so bad that God cannot forgive it.
You are a bigot. Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it to everybody.Namecalling is not quite the same as serious and civil discussion.

Yes..I know it's the teaching of Jesus...my rhetorical question can only be answered by God...guess I will have to wait and see
When one goes to a priest asking for absolution, they are repenting. This isn't blowing off the sin. Darn, I agree with sink twice in a week.

Matthew 12:31 Jesus says, "And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven."
Namecalling is not quite the same as serious and civil discussion.
raml merely expressed an opinion based on personal experience. That you disagree with raml's opinion doesn't mean hers was bigoted.
No, He doesn't.
Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable.
And what do you think that is? It is, in fact, the mistaken assumption that there is a sin or sins that God cannot forgive. The Spirit moves us toward forgiveness, and we ignore Him when we think we're so bad God cannot reach us.I have no idea what you just wrote?
Great God, why is everyone so anxious to forgive? Let God take care of that.Jesus does call us to forgive, but only if the person repents.
Until then I'd like to see a little more justice, complete with punishment.
