i don’t believe in reincarnation.
Hi,
The web site is totally inacurate. The Pope did not apologes for the Church but for members of the Church. Gallileo was not condemned because his teachings clashed with the bible but that he would not call them theories which at the time that is all they were.Hi,
Was this meant for me? I will reply anyway. The popes have sometimes been bad. Church officials have made mistakes. They are sinners too. The Pope is only imbued with the gift of infallibility when speaking on faith and morals. He , like St Peter, is a sinner. And aren’t we all. When you read the history of the Catholic Church you begin to understand what a miracle it is that it has survived for 1971 yrs. And you learn the truth about infallibility. Can you prove otherwise?
Gallileo was unjustly treated. The Church should stay out of science, and vise versa. The Church should only intervene on moral grounds when it comes to science. The Church knows this only too well. It’s not the Church’s role to explain/ condone/ deny etc scientific facts or theories unless they are clearly immoral.
With the inquisitions, the hierarchy of the Church made mistakes. But you need to note that Church and state have not always been separated. And heretics were considered guilty of treason against the state. That’s why the Church insists on separation of Church and state.
The Church is made up of sinners. But the Holy Spirit protects Her from errors on faith and morals. That is miraculous.
You are quite right Ann. God bless.The web site is totally inacurate. The Pope did not apologes for the Church but for members of the Church. Gallileo was not condemned because his teachings clashed with the bible but that he would not call them theories which at the time that is all they were.
**The only thing that’s reincarnated is the belief in reincarnation! It is another way to equate human life and animal life, with the result that the value of human life is diminished. **Straight from the Bible:
“And just as it is appointed for mortals to die once…” Heb 9:27
no it’s not possible… the man was considered a sinner because all of us at birth inherit the sin of adam and eve… original sin… even if he did nothing wrong, thanks to original sin, he inherits all the good stuff resulting from it… in his case, blindness from birth.Could it be that Jesus did not lecture on reincarnation because the disciples already knew it to be true? Follow me on this one.
If the man was blind FROM HIS BIRTH, how could he possibly have sinned to cause his blindness? Notice what Jesus says “Neither he hath sinned, nor his parents.” He did not ask the disciples the obvious question that I just did. I think the disciples response proves they believed in reincarnation. When else could the man have sinned?
Incorrect. Reincarnation was and is a part of Jewish theology. The Jews believe that a soul descends to this world from “beneath the throne of glory”—a place much higher than the highest angels—to accomplish its mission in this physical world. After the allotted time, the soul returns to be judged. The soul may need to be cleansed in gehinom. But eventually, it is able to reap its reward, which is to experience the Divine light generated through all of the soul’s good deeds.Ditto, Jesus came to save the “lost sheep of Israel”. Reincarnation was never a part of Jewish theology. Therefore, why would Jesus mention it.
Hebrews 9:27 Just as it is appointed that all humans die once and after this the judgement.But could “once” be understood symbolically, or non-literally? Did Jesus himself ever speak on this issue?
I’m non-Catholic, but curious as to how Catholics in the pews view the idea of reincarnation. I know reincarnation is officially not part of Catholic tradition, but I’ve found in this forum that Catholics are just as diverse – if not more diverse – than those dreaded Protestants.
