That accurately describes the Lord Jesus. It describes the Father in the story of the prodigal son. It describes the Apostle Paul’s teaching that our worthless actions will be burned up but that we ourselves will be saved “yet so as by fire”.Purgatory Padre?
What follows is the complete text from first Corinthians in the New American Standard translation. What do you think?
1 Co 3: 10According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. 11For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13each man’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is [to be] revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work. 14If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. 15If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
