Heaven is a state of being

That's an unbelievable statement. Their purgatory is then another one of their state of beings. I'm actually LMAO how totally deceived they are since it's done deliberately.

Really? 2 Corinthians 5:17k So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

1 Corinthians 15: 42* So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown corruptible; it is raised incorruptible. 43It is sown dishonorable; it is raised glorious. It is sown weak; it is raised powerful.v 44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual one. 45So, too, it is written, “The first man, Adam,* became a living being,” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.w 46But the spiritual was not first; rather the natural and then the spiritual. 47The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man, from heaven. 48As was the earthly one, so also are the earthly, and as is the heavenly one, so also are the heavenly. 49Just as we have borne the image of the earthly one, we shall also bear the image* of the heavenly one.x

50* This I declare, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption* inherit incorruption.y 51* Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed,z 52in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.a 53For that which is corruptible must clothe itself with incorruptibility, and that which is mortal must clothe itself with immortality.b

Apocalypse 21: 1a Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.* 2I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem,* coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.b 3I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race.c He will dwell with them and they will be his people* and God himself will always be with them [as their God].* 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, [for] the old order has passed away.”d

26The treasure and wealth of the nations will be brought there, 27but nothing unclean will enter it, nor any[one] who does abominable things or tells lies. Only those will enter whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.q

Our entire state of being is changed.

They keep proving "The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."

Better tell that to the image in the mirror. Unbelieveable how much Scripture is jettisoned by you guys in pursuit of the latest heresies.

Just in case you are expecting a response, don’t. I didn’t even read your post. I had enough laughs for the day and tomorrow, also.

God’s Word is the FINAL AUTHORITY. If you don’t believe that - it’s not wise to use it to suite your own agenda. Post your catechism - that’s where the RCC’s beliefs come from.

That's accurate but that's not heaven...The state of being is changed before one sets one foot in heaven...
