Roman Catholics make a distinction between two types of sin. Mortal sin is a "grave violation of God's law" that "turns man away from God", and if it is not redeemed by repentance and God's forgiveness, it causes exclusion from Christ's kingdom and the eternal death of hell.
In contrast, venial sin (meaning "forgivable" sin) "does not set us in direct opposition to the will and friendship of God" and, although still "constituting a moral disorder", does not deprive the sinner of friendship with God, and consequently the eternal happiness of heaven.
Alvin, you interprete the Bible wrong. There is sin that leads to death (mortal sin)and there is sin that does not lead to death (venial sin). Read these verses very well, Alvin, and retrack from all of your false teaching.
1 John 5:16-17
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not to death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not to death.
According to Roman Catholicism, pardon of sins and purification can occur during life - for example, in the Sacrament of Baptism and the Sacrament of Penance. However, if this purification is not achieved in life, venial sins can still be purified after death. The specific name given to this purification of sin after death is "purgatory".
Alvin, Bible also say that we should pray for those who commit sin that doesn't lead to death. Those who commit sin lead to dead, no argument, there will be in hell, no need purification any longer. But for those souls who commit sin lead not to dead, we should pray. That's why we send our Prayers for the Dead for those people who are in Purgatory, so that their time there will be reduced.
We admit that during the past time, Roman Catholic Church did error, they sold indulgence letters which supposed to be not occured. But now, we are already on the right track. We just send our prayers, not need to buy something like indulgences letter, etc. It is just through prayers.
Is that so, my friends? What about mass card that are so many sold in the churches or internet? It cost until 30$ per card. They will promise you that if you bought this mass card, the priests will enroll the name of your family in their prayer lists and every time they held the Holy Mass, they will pray for this soul. They would guarantee you success, since if the priests who pray for those souls, it must be more effective than us. My friend, they would suggest you that if you really love those souls of your families, friends who have died. If you want them to be in heaven soon, you need to buy this mass card. http://www.svd-ca.com/MassLeague.htm
I wonder why such teaching like this can be accepted. To be saved people need to pay some about of money. Imagine, 30$!! You can buy 15 meals for the poor people to eat. The rich will never need to enter the church, doing venial sin as much as he can, gain more wealth from it, and pay some amount of money to the church to compensate his evil works. I think he will still have some profit by doing that.
I have pity for the poor people if this salvation can be bribed. How can they buy this expensive card? Even for their living, they need to save as much as they can. Roman Catholic church teach gods that are so selfish, so unjust. Only for those rich people who can take advantage from it. Is that the same Jesus that I believe, Jesus who died 2000 years ago? Or another 'Jesus', Son of Queen of Heaven, like the one who was practiced in the old Babylon?
My friends, do you know how rich Vatican is? It is the richest institution in the world, so much wealth. See these picture. So rich right?
Where the money come from? It comes from Purgatory doctrine. Let's reason with me. If this church really the real church. The church who teach about Love and Peace so much. It must be very advance in love, right? If they really practice their love, why don't they buy all the mass card by themselves and donate them to poor people? Why they even force them to buy that card? Is that really love?
2 Timothy 3:5-6
They will hold to an outward form of godliness but deny its power. Stay away from such people. For some of these men go into homes and deceive foolish women who are burdened with sins and swayed by all kinds of desires.
My friends, do you really want to know about sin which lead not to death? Let's open our Scripture. Bible say, 'All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not to death.' What can you interprete for that? All the wrongdoing is sin, right? And the wage of sin is death (Romans 6.23). So? You will die if you keep sinning.
James 1:15
Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.
What is this sin lead not to death? I have looked through my Bible, and I can only find 1 sin that don't lead to death, victim of rape.
Deuteronomy 22:25-27
But if out in the country a man happens to meet a girl pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. Do nothing to the girl; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders his neighbor, for the man found the girl out in the country, and though the betrothed girl screamed, there was no one to rescue her.
As we know, commit sexual immorality can't be only by single person. for the two will become one flesh. Both of them commit sin. But because this girl was raped, even though she screamed but no one to rescue her. She has defiled herself by doing sexual immorality, but this girl commited sin which lead not to death. She can do nothing against it. Only the man commited the sin that lead to death. This is the sin which lead not to death, my friends.
We should pray for this girl, give her encouragement. I just wonder, how can you interpret from the same verse that you should pray for the dead? When you are dead, your judgment already fixed, between heaven or hell, no more chance for the dead to travel from the hell to heaven or vice versa. Please keep in mind, that Purgatory is never exist.
Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment
There is no heavy sin or light sin in the Lord, sins are sins. No arguments.
- If you watching porn and doing adultery, Jesus said both are the same...adultery (Matthew 5:27-30) you will be in danger of hell.
- If you are angry with your brother and doing murder, Jesus said both are the same....murder (Matthew 5:21-22) you will be in danger of hell.
- There are no great sins and small sins. Sins are sins, and wages of sin is death. You will go to hell if you continue sinning, even though you already think that Jesus is inside you, since you are a liar and a liar will be condemned in hell.
1 John 2:4
So, I hope, rather think about souls who are dead already, think about your salvation first. For I tell you, there is no purgatory, there is no heavy sin (mortal) or light sin (venial). Sins are sins. Sin lead not to death is just for the victim of rape (as far as I have known).
My friends, please don't be to rigid with your own belief. I know that my article could offend your feeling so much, but please, don't be too ignorant, start questioning your church doctrines. Are they really church, or just deceitful institution. Judge it by yourself. Ask God, is this Alvin, only a mad man or he speaks the truth and my church is the one who wrong? My friends, I really do care about your eternal salvation, I don't want you to be deceived any longer by that office of papacy.
Read your Bible, open your eyes and see. God bless you
