    Purgatory

    “For every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.” Everything is important, nothing escapes Jesus Judgement. Many people don’t realise how exacting the accounting is. Many commit murder by their words, murder of reputations, murder of good name, murder...

    One day you will understand I am not your enemy and I have told you the truth from Scripture, the Fathers and my own experience. Purgatory is real.

    I can only warn people out of love. I have prayed for all the people on this site and their family and friends who are suffering and who have died. I have a terrible inner grief when people reject something I know for certain and that will help them. When you know the reality and people through...

    Purgatory

    Jesus covered our sins by His Cross, but we also carry our cross which covers restitution for damages. Let’s say a child molester repents and is forgiven. What of the damages he has done, ruined life and innocence, terrible on going suffering, perhaps drugs and suicide of the victim. A life of...

    Purgatory

    The suffering of a soul in purgatory is experiencing the consequencial harm they caused, but purely in the spiritual, which much more painful. They are forgiven by Jesus work on the Cross and will see Heaven, but they must make restitution. Jesus had the criminal charges dropped for them, but...

    Praying for the dead... ???

    I was shown the spiritual reality of it in prayer, for me it’s no longer a matter of believing what I was told on faith. Purgatory is real, Baptism is salvific, these are spiritual realities I was shown. If the scriptures don’t lead us into the spiritual worlds realities, then what is their...

    Purgatory

    Those in purgatory are saved by Christ, Jesus paid for their forgiveness. They are forgiven. But not the restitution they owe. If you punch a blokes teeth out, and he forgives you and drops the charges, you still have to pay for his $25,000 dental care. Do you understand? We see the same...

    Look at the Traditional interpretation of the Scriptures that Fathers refer to. “For if on the foundation of Christ you have built not only gold and silver and precious stones (1 Cor.,3); but also wood and hay and stubble, what do you expect when the soul shall be separated from the body? Would...

    Matt 5:23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift. 25 “Settle matters quickly with your...

    Acts of Love are very powerful at elevating the souls in purgatory. No matter how small. No detail of this life here is unimportant, everything is important, everything is strictly accounted on the other side. There is no loose paperwork there, no debt to God or man is unaccounted. Neglects and...

    Praying for the dead... ???

    In case some are in purgatory, we should always pray for them. I know purgatory exists, it’s not something I was just told about. The ones that suffer longest there are the ones that have no one to pray for them. They can’t pray for themselves, and it is one of the ultimate acts of charity to...

    Why Confession?

    Mark 16:15 – Jesus commands the apostles to preach the Gospel to every creature. But Jesus did not want this preaching to stop after the apostles died, and yet the Bible was not compiled until four centuries later. The word of God was transferred orally. Mark 3:14; 16:15 – Jesus commands the...

    Praying for the dead... ???

    You can pray for them and they can help you with their prayers. The same Spirit that makes us one in Christ, makes us one with them in Christ. There is no separation for those that are one in Christ.

    Why Confession?

    You weren’t promised infallible interpretive guidance from reading the scriptures. The Infallible guidance comes from hearing the Spoken Word of God which explains the Written Word of God.

    Catholics aren’t the ones that rewrite history. Catholicism is original christianity.

    I think God’s providence and victory vindicated their cause somewhat. Governments can loose their legitimacy if they work against the purpose of them.

    Christians and War.

    It’s very interesting stuff isn’t it. I remember when I was 11 nearly 12, I was at a place with a swimming pool. There were other kids there and only women were there. A large Alsatian ran into the place growling and barking at us. Next moment I realise a grown woman had gotten behind me...

    Christians and War.

    Men are government in the absence of institutional formal government. Even today, all formal governments are very wary and fearful of movements involving men in their societies. Large and even small numbers of men assembling in common cause are investigated, infiltrated and scrutinised very...

    Praying for the dead... ???

    Canonisity was entirely Catholic Tradition. The Catholic Church didn’t refer to the Jews who rejected the Lord and rejected Christianity altogether. The Catholic Church looked to it’s own Fathers in succession to the Apostles, those books that were in continuous use from the Apostles. “For the...

    Jerome accepted the ruling of Church over his opinions, which all good Catholics do. No, he referred them as Scripture all the time, these are deuterocanonical, but Scripture none the less. We call them deuterocanonical today. Protestantism had nothing to do the Canonisation process of the...
