Incorrupt Bodies of the Saints part 3

Guard the truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.--2 Timothy 1:14

To them we did not yield submission even for a moment, that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.--Galatians 2:5

And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to every one, an apt teacher, forbearing, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant that they will repent and come to know the truth.
--2Timothy 2:24-25

"No Contact with the dead"



Sometimes Fundamentalists object to asking our fellow Christians in heaven to pray for us by declaring that God has forbidden contact with the dead in passages such as Deuteronomy 18:10--11. In fact, he has not, because he at times has given it—for example, when he had Moses and Elijah appear with Christ to the disciples on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matt. 17:3). What God has forbidden is necromantic practice of conjuring up spirits. "There shall not be found among you any one who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, any one who practices divination, a soothsayer, or an augur, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a medium, or a wizard, or a necromancer. . . . For these nations, which you are about to dispossess, give heed to soothsayers and to diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you so to do. The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brethren—him you shall heed" (Deut. 18:10--15).

God thus indicates that one is not to conjure the dead for purposes of gaining information; one is to look to God's prophets instead. Thus one is not to hold a seance. But anyone with an ounce of common sense can discern the vast qualitative difference between holding a seance to have the dead speak through you and a son humbly saying at his mother's grave, "Mom, please pray to Jesus for me; I'm having a real problem right now." The difference between the two is the difference between night and day. One is an occult practice bent on getting secret information; the other is a humble request for a loved one to pray to God on one's behalf.

In You Jesus --

Catholics don't believe priests forgive sins either. What we do believe is that Jesus forgives sins through the priest.

Could Jesus forgive sins without the priest? Of course, He's God. However, He established the Sacrament of Reconciliation before He left the Earth -- for example at John 20:23: -- "Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained."

12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those[g] who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,[h] Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.

Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.

because the body is part of the person who has reached sanctity. There is no dualism spirit-body.

[bornagainsaint1]

Why are these dead and decaying bodies exposed for the public to see? What is the purpose for this? We are getting glorified bodies when Jesus calls us to heaven. Would you want your own loved ones exposed in this manner?

[SANxJONERO]

Some of them aren't as well preserved due to the way they were taken care of.

[SANxJONERO]

I'm glad I came across videos like this. I feel as that it has made my faith stronger & I really think it is beautiful. It's so beautiful that I'm not really even paying much attention to the blind sheep on here

[mylovesofmylife]

Some look more well preserved then others the people who passed centuries before are not so well preserved.
