you declared its teaching??? who are you compared to those who were there when it was written and experienced this???
and nowhere in your ‘declaring’ does it say that there is no purification by God of the deceased....and nowhere in your declaration does it prove that ‘to be absent from the body is to be with the lord’ cause it doesnt say that...you misquoted it....
Those who were there at the time are gone from earth and present in the Lord. Those of us who remain are left with the blessed Holy Spirit, who guides believers into all truth. We are left with God's inspired Word - also via the Holy Spirit. We are left with teachers and pastors, also gifted by the Holy Spirit.
"and nowhere in your ‘declaring’ does it say that there is no purification by God of the deceased....and nowhere in your declaration does it prove that ‘to be absent from the body is to be with the lord’ cause it doesnt say that...you misquoted it...."
There is no purification for the purpose of salvation anywhere in Scripture. What is says and what that teaches are exactly why God the Holy Spirit has made provision to understand His Word.
