There is nothing in the Catholic doctrine of purgatory that asserts that there is "a lack in the power of the Blood of Christ Jesus".
Ok. That's why I'm here, having created this thread. If there is some sort of need to have some sins burned away through burning in some place called "purgatory," then what other conclusion can be drawn other than the fact that such a teaching suggests there is some measure of lack in the sufficiency of the Blood of Chris Jesus to cleanse us from ALL sin.
[1 John 2:1] My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
As you can see in that verse, John has made sin the exception in the life of a believer, not the rule. He also stated that IF we sin, we have an advocate with the Father. Advocates stand in the place of the accused, and if the purgatory doctrine is true, then John had a perfect opportunity here to address that very thing, but he didn't. He made it clear that the blood of Jesus is totally sufficient for all cleansing.
Now, if you see wiggle room for an alternative conclusion, that's why I'm here, to see if I have missed something.
That is something that anti-Catholics say to virtue-signal and feel good about themselves, just like the how the pharisees loved to boast about their piety.
I can't speak for others because I'm not anti anything except false teaching, lies and deceptions. Let's forget about bashing others and just stick to the topic.
And by the way, the Scriptures that you profess to rely on, you would not even know what they are, except for the Catholic Church telling you so.
Whoah! You must not have ever read 1 John 2:27. What you're saying is an accusation of his being a liar. I will retain my belief that, given ALL scripture is given by inspiration from God, all others are themselves liars, even if they wear funny robes and hats, fancy suits, or ragged and living under a bridge. The word of God is inspired by Him, and is stable...never having been added to by anyone.
If you don't mind, I will stick to "It is written..."
