    The Catholics you are sneering at are the ones that are going to get you out of the Purgatory you don’t believe in.

    I’m telling you straight, I know Purgatory exists, you can not say you weren’t told.

    They don’t get released till all restitution is paid. Everything.

    It makes it very hard, when the people you are trying warn out of true brotherly love, sneer and mock the message, especially when we do so many prayers and penances for them.

    I’m not trying to frighten or manipulate anyone, I am telling you that I know Purgatory exists, it is real.

    I'll trust God instead. There is no Purgatory.

    Ooooo let’s see. Trust Catholics to pray me out of made up place of suffering or…..

    ….Trust God’s Word that to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord?

    The books of Macc are not scripture.

    Pray for the living, not the dead.

    peace to you

    Purgatory exists whether someone believes in it or not.

    Exacatly, you believing in purgatory dosen't make it exist. Believe what God has revealed in Scripture, not what Man has made up.

    It’s not a made up place of suffering, it’s a real place of real suffering.

    They were Scripture for more than a thousand years before Protestants or Baptists walked the earth and still are.

    The Holy Souls in Purgatory are living.

    Jesus is a Merciful Saviour, but He is also a Just Judge.

    We must settle restitution with others quickly whilst we are still in this world, once it’s before the Judge only hard restitutions can be made.

    Why should I believe you? My belief system is all I need, not your contemptible manipulative cult nonsense. You forget, I was a RC and I still have family in it so you can’t BS me and expect compliance.

    Since your the RCC spokesperson here, can you give me some idea of your churches stance in the world concerning politics and economic worth? That should give most of us some perspective as to Pope Franks motivation and agenda.

    Can you give or quote the teaching by which you have this understanding?

    Scripture says hold to the Apostles word of mouth traditions, you don’t, if you did, you would understand Purgatory exists.
    So really you neither follow Scripture or Tradition here.

    All I’m doing is throwing out the road flares to warn people of a real hazard I know exists ahead.
    I’m not trying to convert anyone, I’m not trying to scare anyone, I’m just warning everyone, once I’ve told people my duty is discharged.

    You can drive by my road flares at 100 miles an hour pulling finger signs and throwing beer bottles, but I’m telling you I know Purgatory exists, it’s real.

    No. I saw a soul released from there. His angel lifted him from the fire then through smoke and then through fog. When he came out of the fog he was brighter than the angel like welder light. And Jesus came down and held Him and they went up into the Light.

    So solely on an oral tradition. There is a disagreement on said Scriptures supporting such. There is the understanding said Biblical oral traditions referred to then when those giving said oral instructions were alive giving them.

    Oral Tradition is handed down as the written Tradition is handed down, Father to Son.
    The Spoken word of God is of the same force as the written Word of God.

    The Apostolic preaching explains the Apostolic writings, and remains the same down the ages.

    It is my understanding the handed down New Testament documents are the sole Apostolic authority today.

    I can only tell you what I know from brotherly love, it’s not cult nonsense. Purgatory gives off a kind of grief and longing or a mix of them both together, it’s hard to describe it. But the suffering very great.
    I am not concerned so much about your back ground, I’m just telling you that Purgatory is real. What you do after that totally up to you, I’m just telling people so that they know.
    I don’t want anyone to go there if they can help it, that’s why we pray every day for those that are in Purgatory and especially for the ones that have no one to pray for them.

    Those things aren’t the important things really.

    Well Cathode, since you didn’t answer my question about some estimated wealth figures….
    Easy enough to look up on the internet. Here is just one of many.

    When people say, “more money than God,” what might be a real number for that amount of money on Earth that God has? I’m thinking of the entire income and assets for all faith organizations, including houses of worship, faith charities, etc. How might we estimate that and compare it to large nations’ GDPs, the world’s wealthiest billionaires and our national debt?
    If you’re looking at the Catholic Church alone, “God” has at least — and we’re putting a huge emphasis on “at least” — $73 billion in assets. Make that $73,000,000,001.07.

    No, there’s a whole authoritive Catholic Apostolic Church that teaches the true meaning of its books.

    Wow. Do you mean that if everything was sold up, each Catholic would get $65 dollars.
    I’d rather have a Church to worship in I think.

    Well, a major disagreement. We can still discuss how and why we disagree case by case. Those 27 New Testament books in and of themselves are Apostolic. And are solely the verbal plenary God breathed written word of God given to God's church along with the Old Testament 39 books.
