    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Read closely: 1 Cor. 3:10-15 "According to the grace of God given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must be careful how he builds upon it, for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is there, namely, Jesus Christ...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    There is only ONE Catholic Church. If you're not a Catholic Christian, you're a Protestant Christian or you belong to one of the Orthodox Churches. There is NO other kind of Christian.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Wanna bet?? Ignatius of Antioch, FIRST century Bishop and student of the Apostle John wrote this on the way to his martyrdom in Rome at the beginning of the 2nd century: Ignatius of Antioch Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed the Father. Obey your...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Oy . . . Complete and total RUBBISH. Time for a history lesson . . . First of all - the Bishop’s miter didn’t develop into its present form until the late Middle Ages – which is LONG after all of the “Dagon worshippers” were all dead and gone. Before that, it was a shorter version. Dagon...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    And umpteen denoms cults and sects don't have the historical proof. BIG difference. Ummmmmmm, NOT sure why you posted this passage. It is referring to the JEWISH leaders - not Christ's Catholic Church. By the way - when do YOU suppose the Catholic Church started if NOT 2000 years ago...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Can you address points A and B?? a) This cannot be Heaven because the person will SUFFER ‐ and there is NO suffering in Heaven. b) This cannot be Hell because the person will be SAVED ‐ and there is NO salvation in Hell. What is happening there?

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Never heard of the "Roman" Church. I know the Catholic Church has been here since Christ and His Apostles built it 2000 years ago. When was this "Roman" Church established?

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I think we have a communication gap. You stated: "How do you explain that the same Church called "The Way" is universally called the Catholic Church by the end of the 2nd century?" I agree with you - but it was called the "The Catholic Church" by the end of the first century.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Time for a Bible lesson . . . 1 Cor. 3:10-15 "According to the grace of God given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Christ built ONE Church. Every protestant group is not a "church" by that definition, but an ecclesial community which is related to that ONE Church. Unfortunately, they are all self-separated from that ONE Church - in dire need of coming home.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    That is precisely the pride of the Pharisees that Jesus condemned when He rebuked them: John 9:41 "If you were blind you would have no sin; but since you say 'We see', your sin remains."

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Your ignorance is astounding. You know almost nothing about 1st century culture – yet you comment about it like you are an “expert”. Allow me to educate you . . . Nobody was “commanded” to be the husband of one wife in the NT. They were told that if they were going to be a Bishop – they...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    No “deception” here – just the historical facts. The Catholic Church IS the Universal Church. Your attempt to “distinguish” one from the other is redundant. And, apparently you are NOT familiar with Liturgical Rites or you wouldn’t call a Byzantine Catholic or a Melkite Catholic or Maronite...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    First of all – there is NO such thing as the “Roman” Catholic Church. The official name of the Catholic Church is, “The Catholic Church.” “Roman” or “Latin” simply refers to the Liturgical Rite. There are some TWENTY Liturgical Rites that comprise the Catholic Church. Among these are the...

    GOD'S WORD vs THE TEACHINGS AND TRADITIONS OF MEN

    One more thing . . . The Didache (Teachings of the Twelve Apostles) is a FIRST CENTURY document – written while most of the Apostles were still alive. It documents their teachings and practices to be used throughout the Church. Section 14 is about meeting – on the LORD’S DAY . . . Christian...

    GOD'S WORD vs THE TEACHINGS AND TRADITIONS OF MEN

    Time for a Bible AND a History lesson . . . First of all – the word “Scripture” means the WRITTEN Word. NOWHERE does the Bible ever state that the Written word is our sole Authority. As a matter of fact – the Bible tells us that Sacred Tradition (Apostolic Oral Teaching) is ON PAR with the...

    Praying to the Saints in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    YOU just prayed to Walpole (in RED). "Pray" dimply means to ASK. Definition of the word “PRAY”: Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary: Full Definition of pray transitive verb 1: entreat, implore —often used as a function word in introducing a question, request, or plea<pray be careful> 2...

    GOD'S WORD vs THE TEACHINGS AND TRADITIONS OF MEN

    I will engage you in further conversation - ONLY when YOU . . . 1. Show me where Scripture states that Scripture is our sole Authority (Sola Scriptura) 2. Stop being dishonest about this nonsense about ANYBODY claiming the Sabbath was "abolished". I made it clear that Christ FULFILLED the...
