    We are talking from different levels of understanding. You are indoctrinated in an unapostolic interpretation of scripture which is human tradition of men.

    Purgatory

    “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church.” Remember Scarlett, there is another Cross that we must bear as imitators of Christ. Jesus sufferings are restitution to The...

    Praying for the dead... ???

    There are many like you, they have to see it before they believe it. No warning sent to them will they believe. Not Scripture because they simply interpret it how they want. Not the ancient Fathers, they rejected them long ago. Not people who directly witness it. What do you say to people who...

    Praying for the dead... ???

    Protestants in purgatory have no one to pray for them, except Catholics praying for them. God is exacting in His Justice even among His servants. Time operates very differently there, an hour passes here, years pass there.

    Praying for the dead... ???

    No. Jesus begins the parable. “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.” So He is speaking of The Kingdom. And ends the parable. “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your...

    32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he...

    We must make restitution or reparation here in this life as best we can, otherwise Purgatory is the hardest way. Here it’s easy, but in purgatory it is hard. “But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated...

    Praying for the dead... ???

    Luther, Calvin and others in a long list human founded traditions and institutions told you what scripture means, and they were wrong, wrong from their inception. Bible alone Protestantism is a continuing abuse of Scripture, each following his own subjective interpretations of scripture...

    9 “I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-neckedpeople. 10 Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.” 11 But Moses sought the favor of the Lord his God. “Lord,” he said, “why...

    You don’t understand the scripture, and you don’t accept it’s true interpretation.

    Purgatory

    A man convinced against his will, is of his same opinion still. Even if I convinced you of the True interpretation of Scripture, you couldn’t accept it. Accepting the truth has consequences and if a man is unwilling to face those consequences, he is immune to the truth. He can not allow himself...

    Imagine an old whiskey distiller who follows an old formula to make whiskey, some of the formula is written down but is hard to read, but the other part of the formula is Oral Tradition he was taught from boyhood by the previous old distiller, who had learned from boyhood the same Oral Tradition...

    Purgatory

    The truth of Scripture is Apostolic Tradition, not human traditions of Bible alone denominations. The truth is not plural, it is singular. Do you understand?

    Because it is true. Purgatory is real. The Fathers interpret scripture explaining Purgatory’s existence.

    Purgatory

    You follow private interpretations of Scripture, you are immune to the truth of Scripture. I follow the traditional interpretation of Scripture. The Fathers and I could quote scriptures support for Purgatory but you will simply interpret scripture how you want, denying it. This is the sad...

    Praying for the dead... ???

    No, your understanding of Scripture is wrong. What the Fathers teach is the true interpretation of Scripture. This is why heresy is so terrible, those that originally denied Purgatory have cost you the right understanding of Scripture for their erroneous human tradition generationally. The...

    Purgatory

    Purgatory is like the old debtors prison, they can not make restitution for themselves by their own prayers, they can only make reparation by the time they serve and suffering they endure. Unless someone helps clear their debt of reparation by charity or by offering up some suffering.

    Purgatory

    As much as we talk about Jesus Mercy we need to understand His Justice. There is a portion of Cross assigned to us. The sufferings God sends and allows are restitution not just for ourselves, but the whole Church. These sufferings born well with love are restitutions to Justice, sufferings...
