'joy
jus came back from b.s..really a good...had some questions resolved..*finally!*its jus amazing how the H.S sets ur mind free jus like tt..was sitting at the playground thinkin abt the whole b.s fer abt an hour? yeah..most of the sisters are from SAC, and majority jus the full 10 yrs of catholic teachin..[i'm sure u guys remember the cat class and the creme classes]
the biggest difference is proberly that the catholics believes in praying to saints. seeking them for help and definately intersessions..
but fer us, there is only one true God up there! our
Abba Father! -Amen?-
the v fact that the saints only starts appearin
after Jesus died on the cross for us. before Jesus laid down his life, everyone who died went to 'sheol' but after that, its either u go up to heaven or taken down by 'death' into hell..
[john 8:15 "most assuredly I say to you, if anyone keeps My word, he shall nv see death ]if that's the case,
everyone in heaven are saints! and not only the 'chosen ones'
that cleared one big doubt in my mind....i always wonder how do pple qualify to become a saint..how is the classification like..does it mean that i come from a broken background i cannot be a saint?
NO!now that it shown that
all who are righteous will asccend into heaven, and all in heaven are saints, it means that anyone, everyone, who are saved can and will be a saint!
[1 jn 3:2 " Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is " ]and yes, i'm enlightened...HA! hope that this enlightenment fer me will be somethin of revelation to you in one way or another =)
either we do it, or we don't
