Wow okay. Well Scripture shows me and My Spirit bears witness with HIS Spirit that I am indeed His Child as where I cry out abba Father. I do not need to go to any "Church" to be in His presence. Since His actual Presence lives in Me.. I am His temple. I pray that His presence resides in you by His Spirit.
yeh, if you tell me what the heck its about... who wrote it..Can I suggest you read Spe Salvi.
So please tell me. Why did Christ die? If one thinks His blood is not sufficient then is that not denying all that scripture teaches us?
fail to see why it can't be both... you have not shown anything to suport... tyou are the one that trys to tell me that there is a purgatory to cleanse men from their sin. So I ask a simple question and get a deflection. hmmm okay well I can tell you that there is no need for purgatory for Christ shed His blood and rose from the dead.

i dont read anything that is against the Church... tiresome...
None of these verses, including the one from II Maccabees explicitly states this doctrine in the form(s) which the Catholic Church teaches it today. One must imply much from these verses and mix in a great amount of Catholic Tradition to reach this conclusion.
Because on the shed blood cleanses sin. This is why Christ shed His blood. The final sacrafical Lamb. So I guess the Idea of a purgatory does not to me line up with the full context of scripture. For when we go home to be with Christ our corruptable bodies are no more. For we are changed in the twinking of an eye. Why would we need an aternative to what God has already provided Through Christ.fail to see why it can't be both... you have not shown anything to suport... t
Where was Adam held until the death of Abraham?
maybe you will find scriptures to support the spanish inquisition too!......maybe!the roman catholic Church (the Original Church founded by Christ) did not make up Purgatory.
the word Purgatory is not in the written Word of God but Catholics do not just go by the written Word, but by every word that comes from God... and some of His Word comes through HIs Church witout being found in the written scirptures..
so anyhow... the concept of a place of purging IS in scirptre
there is 1 Cor 3:13-
St Mt 18:23 ("until...")
St Mt 12:32 (forgiveness in the age to come)
In Maccabees it speaks of praying for others, that they may be loosed from their sins... these were people who had died in battle
there are others but i can't htink of all of them... maybe i willl think of more by tomorrow

if you knew the OT you would know how much God hates sin and how absolutely holy he is
and how unholy we humans are...
What she was telling you is the #1 message of the Bible--that although what you say here is so, Jesus has saved us, paid the price, taken the sins of the world upon himself so that we would not have to face Hell.
But the Medieval Church put back an alternate Hell called Purgatory that it says we will all face, with the only concession being that it won't last beyond the end of the world. That completely mocks Jesus's assurance that, in Him, we no longer have anything to fear. Purgatory stipulates that our sins are NOT remitted after all.
it was Luther who threw those books out of the Bible because they did not conform to his doctrine, which is man made...
Actually, Luther moved the Deuterocanon to a new section called Apocrypha, but he did include them in his German translation of the Bible as he believed that they were good and useful texts (perhaps just not quite to the standard of "Scripture").
No doubt that the content of the books influenced the decision, but the objective reason he did so was to follow the Hebrew Masoretic Text (Jewish canon) rather than the Greek Septuagint (the "Christian canon" of the Old Testament quoted in the New Testament and Early Church). Many (most?) translations of the Bible, both Catholic and Protestant, retained the Deuterocanon up until the 1800s.
Also, to be fair, it was hardly something he just came up with on his own. There were other Catholic parties at that time who were trying to accomplish the same thing (though of course ultimately rejected).
I do know the OT. I see Gods loving compassion for His people throughout the OT. OF Course God is Holy. That is why there is only salvation through the cross. The perfect blood of the Lamb.if you knew the OT you would know how much God hates sin and how absolutely holy he is
and how unholy we humans are...
but we can achieve perfection... in Christ... Purgatory... The Church did NOT make up Purgatory... dont beleive all you hear sbout the RCC Most of it is OFF
purififcation takes TIME with us..

It is refreshing to me to read fair, unbiased posts of facts such as this. Thank you.
