Ill say this for you all one more time slowly so you will understand. "There was no revision" This is the first time the church has taken a official stance on this matter. Instead of praising them for making the right choice(even though they hedged their bets) many of you are ridiculing them.Quote:
Well it obviously only applies to people conveived after the revision.
That's why we are all so impressed. This is good news for babies and other believers.Quote:

I believe I was raised with the limbo idea, technically, I at least knew that was the (semi) official stance. We do have a much cooler word for it in Dutch though 'voorgeborchte ', it's also the place where the good people go who were born before Jesus lived (or died, not sure about the time in between).Quote:

PS Notice what his stement says
He didnt say they will. Maybe he lacks faith :inquisitive:
Babies do have an unfair advantage in the limbo though. I don't think it would be so bad for them.
Yeah. I mean how much time can god give you for just one little old original sin?Quote:

I was also for adults. I dont think theve shot down the idea of limbo here though.Quote:

Then maybe James Earl Jones -- if he finds his lack of faith disturbing -- should keep him in a distant chokehold :laugh4:Quote:

But belief this, and belief that, babies to heaven, blah blah, yadda yadda, bing boop.... beh! Let us look at the simple fact(s): Earth is already Hell :saint:
And no: I'm not cynical.... not at all.
I thought this was always the case? :huh:
What do you mean by splinter organisations?Quote:

I'm with Gawain on this, too many people tryin to shoot down Holy Mother Church, for no good reason.
Just recently visited the Vatican myself. Did you know that inside the Vatican, a tiny litte state that I could run from one side to the other in less than 5 minutes, is contatined over 30% of the world's entire Art value (in money). Probably because of the Pieta which is worth in the 100s of Millions, and the Sistine Chapel which itself could easily fetch several Billion.
Sorry, slight OT.
Yup, i'm pretty sure that remains.Quote:
