Not to delve too deeply into dogma, I find it hard to believe that there is anything my suffering could resolve that the suffering of Christ did not absolve.

I think that the scriptures are clear about works vs faith and that the accounts are reckoned at the time of death.

I do as well. There is No Other NAME by which we are Saved.

Dangerdoc said it in post #18.

There is nothing an individual has left to atone FOR.

After Christ's all-sufficient atonement, my own personal efforts to atone "just a little bit more" are like a few drops of water in an overful cup of water--they'll just overfill the cup. Christ filled the cup of forgiveness right up to the very brim.

Adding more to it is useless, and demeans His atonement for us, treating it as, well...insufficient.

Danger, you are right.

The doctrine of purgatory effectively means Jesus isn't good enough.

That is not Biblical, and this man is not a Protestant. He is a heretic.
