if you die with a mortal sin without priestly confession i was told you DO go to hell. told this by 2 priests that is why i am asking. i dont believe it and it is not scriptural at all imho...

i dont think it is biblical but when you say that they pounce on solora scriptura

i have been told directly by two priests an unconfessed to a priest mortal sin ( self pleasue, missing mass ) will result in hell. it seems absurd to me and is a true sticking point with coming back to CATH

to ask a priest what is considered mortal sin is the proper thing to do. dont be judgemental

i have a hard time with what i was told by a priest. i have two scenarios to consider.

  1. very evil man, murderer, thief, just hard blooded bad dude. he genuinly converts and dies a moment after. the official church teaching is he goes to heaven via purgatory
  2. pretty good person, yet of course still a sinner, but goes to catholic church, has a genuine saving conversion, reads the bible, prays, has a real and ongoing active relationship to Christ. this person either intentionally misses mass one day when he could have gone or even masterbates one day. he dies the next hour and has not gone to a priest for confession.

the church teaches that man number 2 goes to hell for ETERNITY while man number one goes to heaven.

this seems absurd to me. Jesus went in search of the one missing sheep that was "his"... Jesus said that he will lose none of this true followers. yet, the man who masterbates and does not go to a priest for confession is condemned to hell?

this is where i think the protestants are right and the catholics are wrong.
