Question

I know that the belive of "the limbo" theaches that is a baby si not bautize on the Catholic chourche it goes to this place lke hell, i think, i will like to know in waht part of the Bible the Catholics base this belive, so if you have the answer i will like to hear form you. Please will be very helpfull if you can make mention of a Bible scripture so i can read it in my Bible, Thanks.

Thanks for all your answers but i allredy know tha baisc theaching of the LIMBO from the Catholics, what i do not have is WHAT THE CATHOLICS USE IN THE BIBLE TO BELIVE THIS, is it there a scripture in the Bible that teaches something about "The LIMBO" or "HELL"?
I need a scripture from the Bible.

I recive all this answers and none have tell me the right answer, so my question to all you will be, if someone ask you to prove your beleves are in the Bible, what are you going to say?, can you pruve it with the Bible?, do you have a scripture to prove something you belive? Or you belive on wherever you belive because someone toll you to belive on it?, so why do you belive on that?, is the same if i tell you to belive o chair is God, because I toll you that you will belive on it?, or you will like me to prove that the chair is in fact God?, so if you do not have pruves from the Bible, how do you expect me to belive on it? Like the Limbo for example, many people have diferent histories about it, but none are base in the Bible, so wha is it more inportant to YOU, someone else thinking or what the Bible have to teach?

Answer 1

The catholic Bible has books added to it that God did not originall have in His Word. The regular Bible does not support the Limbo.

Answer 2

In Roman Catholicism, there are two categories of limbo. The Limbo of the Fathers was where the souls of ancient righteous people went before Jesus Christ made it possible for them to enter Heaven. The word limbo has also been used to refer to Limbo of Children, the thought of a permanent status of the unbaptized who die in infancy, without having committed any personal sins, but without having been freed from original sin. Limbo of the Children is a theological speculation that has never received official Church approval.

Limbo comes from the latin limbus meaning a hem or an edge or a boundary.

Remember - it is a man made suggestion and myth!!!

I dont know what you have been smoking but these people found your answer and yet you dont see? The bible doesnt say anything about what happens to babies who die before baptism, therefore, if we use that mass inside our heads we are to do our best to answer that question through reason in light of the teachings of christ"be it by word or this epistle"(thesslonians)

the bible doesnt have all the answers to our questions which is why we have the holy spirit and the Church which timothy says "is the spirit and ground of the truth" And the church taught what it learned from christ Orally: "the truth comes through hearing" (not reading) from the beginning until about 497 ad when the final copy of the bible was printed in latin which included the deutero canonical books that you protestants call the apochrapha.

it was luther who got rid of those books and adopted the Palestinain canon used by jews. the palestinian canon was adopted by the jews AFTER the christians had adopted the greek canon which jesus quoted from and included the deutero canonical books.

If the bible doesnt say it, and the tradition never taught it then it opens the door to freedom(ie use your brain)

if it doesnt say it, the bible christians say it isnt to be believed. then the church of christ is correct that the new testament is silent about the use of musical instruments in worship, therefore God condemns it in christian worship!

The bible also says nothing about air travel, therefore?

remember about the brain " you dont use it , you lose it"

Answer 4

Ok my friend first of all the limbo and all his concept is not in the bible so we cannot find even a single verse to prove it. See even the catholic authority says that they are not sure where is it. I'm a Christian All the Doctrine/belief/teaching I follow are purely base on the bible.

Answer 5

Limbo has NEVER been a part of Catholic Doctrine. In the past, there were some very prominent Catholic theologians who did advocate the idea of limbo. Their theory spread, in part, because it's advocaters were such high-profile theologians.

Answer 6

Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved." (Mark 16:15-16)

For centuries, people have wondered about children who died before they were baptized. The Bible does not explicitly state that they will go to heaven.

Limbo was suggested as the place where unbaptized babies went when they died. This idea was never official Church doctrine and has been rejected.

The Church now says that it is not sure what happens to unbaptized babies when they die but she entrusts them to the mercy of God.

With love in Christ.

Answer 7

Being raised a Catholic, but becoming a Spiritualist, I was taught that 'limbo' is a place called purgatory...where is it pointed out in the bible? hmmm, never taught that...prob cause most religions, including most teachings and comments in the bible were mostly (not all; some events are historically documented, but most aren't) man made thoughts and ideas.....created as a tool of power and control......some people in ancient times believed in purgatory...some believed in hell....some didn't , yet both of these people would have called themselves 'Catholic'...until new leaders and conquerors took over and changed the rules....don't you see how religions were based....who took over who...and who killed the most....nothing has to be pointed out in the Bible to be true....it's all man's mind....

Answer 8

Good Job! Know the works of your enemies and the people who are not in it for Christ.

I assume you are referring to Revelation 22:18-9 which states:

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book."

Answer 9

Limbo, together with heaven, hell and purgatory, served in popular Catholic understanding as one of the destinations of the soul after death.


Limbo, never officially defined by the church, was a theological concept developed in the Middle Ages that said unbaptized babies would spend eternity in a state of "natural happiness," but would not enjoy the perfect communion with God that comes through baptism into Jesus Christ.

Italian media reported Nov. 29 that the theological commission intends to advise Pope Benedict to banish the notion of limbo from all teachings of the Catholic catechism.

Catholic News Service reported Oct. 7, 2004, that Pope John Paul II asked the commission, headed by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, to come up with "a more coherent and enlightened way" of describing the fate of such innocent infants.

What the Catholic Church believes about the fate of babies who die without baptism is not an "isolated theological problem," but one that touches belief about original sin, the importance of baptism and God's desire to save all people, Pope John Paul II said Oct. 7, 2004, during a meeting with members of the commission.

According to an Oct. 6, 2004, statement, the theological Commission took up the question of "the fate of children who have died without baptism" during their Oct. 4-8 meeting at the Vatican.

The discussion, it said, was framed "in the context of the universal salvific plan of God, of the uniqueness of Christ's mediation and of the sacramentality of the church in the order of salvation."

The word “limbo” comes from the Latin word meaning “edge” or “border,” and refers as the place or state of the dead who are not in heaven or hell or purgatory. The limbo of the Fathers (“limbus partum”) was the place or state of the just who died before Christ but could not reach the beatitude of heaven before his descent among the dead and his ascension.

The limbo of children, which alone became important in Christian tradition, is the place or state of infants or adults who never had the use of reason who, once Christ had come, did not receive baptism and the incorporation in the church that it brings.

The “Catechism of the Catholic Church” does not use the word “limbo,” though does reference it in its index in the article devoted to “The Necessity of Baptism.”

“As regards children who have died without baptism, the church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus’ tenderness toward children which caused him to say: ‘Let the children come to me, do not hinder them,’ allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without baptism. All the more urgent is the church’s call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy baptism,” the catechism notes (no. 1261).

I am not catholic, but did a little research for you explaining the Catholic Churches stand on
Limbo.
Hope this helps a little.
