>There is plenty of information on the Internet about Purgatory as described by the Roman Catholic Church. There is also information in the Bible about Purgatory.
>Unfortunately, most Protestants have a ‘censored’ Bible. There is information available on the Internet about what was included in the Bible. Please ask yourself, ‘Where did this Bible come from?’
>Please read the four Gospels in your Bible. Hopefully, you'll notice Jesus Christ did NOT walk the Holy Lands handing out Bibles saying,’Here read this & argue about it.’ Jesus Christ established a Church & out of that Church came the Bible. Prayerfully, Christians should look for that Church instead of arguing about the ‘meaning’ of what's in the Bible.
>Anyone on Earth that thinks they are Perfect enough to stand before God should pray for discernment. Also, please remember forgiveness is conditional. The Lord's prayer,> ‘Forgive us our trespasses >as we< forgive those that trespass against us.
No need for vague hints about “censored” books, just lay it out for us, gghd.
Cite chapter and verse in support of Purgatory. I for one would appreciate seeing it, even if I don’t accept it.
Forgiveness is
UN-conditional. That is Biblical for this Grace of God we have today. Believers today are completely and fully forgiven with no possibility of losing their salvation. Christ work on the cross is far superior to man's sins. The cross of Christ should NOT be of none affect or of vanity: God expects us to understand that there is NO ONE who condemns us today:
Romans 8:34: Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Romans 8:35: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Romans 8:38: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Romans 8:39: Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
