Confession, and Penance, dear Boogieman.....and I will STILL have to do time in Purgatory so that I may enter into heaven with a CLEAN, PURE SOUL.
So the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross was not enough for you? ... His death was not enough to make you pure? You actually believe YOU can do something to make yourself pure?
The Bible teaches something totally different Ann ... you can receive total forgiveness, and you can have total assurance that you have eternal life ... no waiting until death to see if you made it.
Hi Ann! You remind me of myself before I fell on my knees in tears over a friend not believing the same things I did. I thought he was going to hell, and just cried out my heart to God to teach ME the truth. I then opened my Bible and did a study on my own. I have never stopped searching the love letter of the Word of God for His wisdom. I do listen and read other’s works, but I always, always check my Bible for accuracy (reading the whole chapter and sometimes book) and I use different translations since I can’t read ancient Hebrew or Greek. God talks to our hearts through His word. Ask Him to talk to you and study His word. Enjoy!
“Confession, and Penance, dear Boogieman.....and I will STILL have to do time in Purgatory so that I may enter into heaven with a CLEAN, PURE SOUL.”
Didn’t Christ tell the thief on the cross, “Today you will be with me in paradise?” Here was a man who hadn’t repented of his sins until moments before death. He wasn’t in much position to perform penance, so surely he must have spent some time in purgatory, if your beliefs are correct. Why did Jesus tell him he would go to heaven that very day, instead of purgatory? Was Jesus a liar?
I will STILL have to do time in Purgatory
Sad that you plan on spending time in hell.
Even sadder that you think your little elite club (church) can pray you out of hell(purgatory).
Even sadder that Catholics claim to be Christians yet don’t believe Jesus sacrifice was enough to cover their sins.
You sure do live up to your screen name ann archy as you rebel against God’s WORD and put your faith instead in men.
