I did not ask where heresy is forbidden. Of course when a charlatan like Luther comes and preaches whatever suits him, let him be anathema.
The question is, if the Church teaches some other thing never mentioned or described in the Holy Scripture, -- for example, what makes the Eucharist valid or whether cloning is allowed, -- where is that prohibited in the Holy Scripture?
I answered that question. Now you want more?
Asked and answered, buddy, it has been asked and answered.
What scant Scripture you have brought can scarcely be seen as firm basis for the fully fleshed-out doctrine of "Purgatory". One sees such an idea as that, neither in the earliest writings, nor elsewhere in Scripture. The doctrine assumes some punishment we endure makes us somehow good enough. Other apologetics explain that since mankind is sinful, even those with some knowledge of, acquaintance with, and devotion to the Lord, can still be found to have *some* sinful attributes. Since that is the case [the logic follows] that after earthly death then they must be held in a place of transition, while "purging", since one is not fit for heaven...meaning the blood of Christ is NOT sufficient to blot out ALL sins, or something...
Is imputed Grace only sufficient for Mary? that seems to be the case...listening to the cacophony of Romish teachings and commentary regarding such...
More specifically towards the subject of Purgatory again;
Hardon the Jesuit might be your guide, but he is surely not mine.
As for the stubble being separated from the straw, as it is written, there is mention of "fire", but no hint of a place somewhere between this life's realm, and the heavenly. That "extra" much, is pure invention. That it is a heresy, homegrown within Roman Catholicism, is again, not my problem, regardless of all the RCC "explaining" not found in the Word, and even in conflict with the same.
