of course you can’t! i just wanted to bring that point up because when other religions say that they can grant divorces they ar esaying that they can undo a sacrament! well then when someone says that to you just remain calm and use logic on them. ask them if they can be unbaptized? ask them if they recieved the “cracker” (which they hold as a symbol, which they ignorantly believe to be the equivalent of the Eucharist) if they can just regurgitate it anytime afetr eating it upon their own will.they can’t because it was already done. they can’t be unbaptized because it was already done. the can’t be un-married because it was ALREADY DONE! the point is that once God does something (a sacrament) it cannot be undone by men just like it says in the bible. so then you woul dask them where in the world they can show biblically (since they usually believe in sola scriptura) that divorce is ok. then when they realize they were wrong and they feel wierd and depressed or just plain out bad you tell them, " i know a cool little place that can make it alllllllllllll better" and then you point to the nearest Catholic Church! lol

Not so fast. Consider what Baptism does. It removes the guilt of original sin, and justifies the one baptized, entering him into the life of Christ which is continued in the Church.

Though you can’t literally be un-baptized, your mortal sins do undo your justification, separating you from Christ, negating the effect of Baptism, and requiring you to be joined to Christ again through Reconciliation.

And, the effects of your last Reconciliation are also undone by your mortal sin.

Not so fast yourself. Baptism does more than that. We become adopted as children of God. We may choose to reject God after being baptized, but we cannot undo that adoption.
 
Remember that some of those that allow a divorced person to Re-marry also practice Re-Baptism!!!

There is also an indelible ‘imprint’ on the soul that can not be undone. This is also true for Confirmation and Holy Orders

to follow up on this i remember somewhere in scripture that it mentions how in hell, th epriests will be marked with the sign of jesus and so everyone will know that they turned their backs on him. the point here is not that some people do this and others practice that, its that the bible and our catholic fatith teach us that Man cannot undo what God has already bound. it is not dependant on the will of the persons involved if th esacrament was already validly done. If man could just undo these things then it would take so much away from the preciousness of the sacrament in th efirst place and would leave an opening for people to do things at their will over God’s since they would do what is more convenient for them. Logically this is why God will not let man undo what he has done.
 
What about a Mormon baptism for the dead? :sleep:
If Jesus ‘saves’ you can that be undone too?:eek:
