I thought I was.
I cleared that up.
The message is still the same from Trent, Vatican I and Vatican II.
Punishment in purgatory.
I certainly hope you are familiar with that teaching!
Jesus took it all when he went to the cross.
I disagree with you and Maccabee.
I suggest you don’t make people, mere men, into heroes.
My hero is Jesus.
Man, the hate on this thread for a Christian that just passed away is astounding.
I don’t think of it as punishment as much as being a bath of fire. It’s necessary. And it will happen.
Do you think you will enter God’s Presence in the exact same state you are in now?
You said that Jesus accepts you as you are. I agree with that, that we are loved as we are. But I also believe that Jesus will change me. He will purify me.
It won’t be pretty or easy.
But I will be purified at some point before I enter Heaven.
Do you disagree with that?
