I will tell you as kindly as I can: If you believe there is punishment after forgiveness of sin, then you are believing a heresy. Either the blood of Christ cleanses (as completely as scripture CLEARLY teaches or it doesn't. There is no in between. I have backed myself up with scripture. You have supported your assertions with nothing but your own confused beliefs. If truth matters to you, if you love God, then I suggest you pick up the bible and start reading Romans. There is no condemnation or punishment for those who trust in Christ. Period. Do you really think you can do anything BY YOUR OWN EFFORTS that will gain you merit with God? If that be true, the Christ need not have died - you could cleanse yourself! What a lie that is! I rebuke and reject that lie and I urge you to seek the truth!

You don't want to admit you made a mistake about the door and now you are trying to bait me into a scriptural debate.
You didn't acknowledge the scripture where it says the last penny must be paid.
When one picks up scripture and starts trying to interpret it for one's self, it is not as plain to me as it seems to be to you. There are many things I don't know for sure, but I do know that what you are saying is one of the anathemas of the Council of Trent and I don't want to fall into that trap.
