教理 Doctrine

基督說祂來是為大眾作贖價，而這個贖價是超越時間性的，即祂會為過去、現在及未來人所犯的罪作贖價。若果一個基督徒在生時故意明知是罪仍然去助紂為虐，為虎作倀，致使別人受傷害甚至死亡，照道理基督亦會為這個人作贖價。但若果這個人在私審判或公審判中都不願悔改而不能到天堂去，這人的贖價基督還要補上嗎?又如果這個人像君士坦丁大帝一樣，臨死前要神父把罪全赦了，他是否就可上天堂?

I am curious, this ‘praying to saints’. The Bible teaches to be absent the body is to be present with Christ. And we also learn that Christ is at the right hand of God the Father. So, wouldn’t they be in awe of the presence of God? Also, many people ‘pray to Mary’, but Mary is an individual. Even assuming she would not be in awe of God, but be looking at Earth, how could she hear it all? This seems to ascribe Godly attributes to created beings. Angels can’t be everywhere at once either.
