A ‘once was a catholic priest’ brother in Christ mentioned recently that the fires of Hell cannot burn away sin. So sin is so unrighteous that even the burning of it will not erase it.

Interesting point. I think God does not allow us to see just how hideous sin really is, or we would never even be able to get out of bed in the morning, and face the day. I think if one does not allow Jesus to pay for his sins, he must pay for them by himself. Even an eternity in Hell, will not get a sinner even remotely close to paying for his sins, so Hell continues, and I believe sinners in Hell are still sinning while in Hell. People need to get their stuff together, and get saved, or they will face the same dilemma.

I visited Fort Wayne Bible College once. The lady that ran the bookstore told me she had been a former nun. She got saved by reading the DR Bible. Praise God for that. 😂😇

Indeed, thanks be to God. The sad part is the unrealized Grace of being Born from Above to live a life Justified and being sanctified. To have to re-up ‘salvation’ through rituals and bead reading and purgatory suffering, well, that is a different gospel all together. O ran across an astonishing blasphemy in the Catechsm of the RCC recently, where it is instructed that faithful catholics can literally pray and work others out of purgatory! Padre Pio is said to have had a vision beside his window of persons leaving purgatory because of his suffering for them!
