It looks like Sungenis is referring to the nature of it, not the existence of it.
No scripture but private revelations revealing purgatory...
On the contrary, Gregory says [The quotation is from St. Augustine (De Civ. Dei i, 8)]: "Even as in the same fire gold glistens and straw smokes, so in the same fire the sinner burns and the elect is cleansed."
Show us ANYWHERE in the scriptures where Christians get burned...It's not there...It's a fable...
Indulgences (which comes from the Latin for a debt repayment) are a way for the person to pay that debt in their earthly life.
Rom 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Rom 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Rom 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Rom 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
There is no debt to pay for...And by putting yourself in debt to God, you have rejected his grace...
What ought to be interesting to Catholics is that the sale of inlgances to get people out of purgatory and the idea of purgatory were created at the same time...
It looks like Sungenis is referring to the nature of it, not the existence of it.Worth repeating. BTTT.
