***We can be forgiven for our trespasses and avoid eternal punishment, but still have a debt to pay with temporal punishment - as seen with Psalm 99: "O Lord, our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God, though you punished their offenses"***
There you go again Fifth, a Catholic offering his own interpretation of Scripture. You should ONLY quote verbatim the Magisterium. Citing a verse with your own comments is so..... Protestant!
Me, protestant? O, the horror! I didn't say that commentating on an obvious passage of Scripture is an exercise in poor judgment, but when you approach the stumbling block verses and start interpreting the words of Christ ("Oh, well, He meant He was the rock," "Oh, well, he meant 'Eat my flesh' figuratively," etc), then we have a problem.
"Citing a verse with your own comments is so..... Protestant!"
That's just plain baiting Doc. Fifth makes a statement supporting the truth taught by the Church and you claim he is an heretic. Bad doc, bad.
