我發現在網上的祈禱文中,在引用創世紀天主對蛇說的一段話時都寫「她要踏碎你的頭顱」,但聖經原文是「她的後裔要踏碎你的頭顱」。聖經的意思是「女人的後裔」而不是「女人」要踏破蛇頭,是嗎?不知我的理解是否正確。

程神父你好。雖然我不是教友,但我很有興趣認識天主教的觀點。想請問神父, 基督新教經常強調 「你們和不信的原不相配,不要同負一軛」(2 Corinthians 6:14), 以此作為新教信徒不應與未信奉基督信仰的人結婚的理據,甚至引申至交往層面, 認為新教信徒不可以與未信者交往。請問天主教對這段經文有怎樣的見解?謝謝神父!
在教會的教導下,當人離世時,會先有私審判,然後,耶穌再來時,所有生者死者都面對公審判。那麼,生者在耶穌來臨的一刻,是否還經過私審判呢?還要留在煉獄等煉淨嗎?世界宇宙都會完結,那到時這些煉獄靈魂還會獲得諸聖相通功嗎?
