I find all of this so confusing that i am not sure which side i would take even if a could understand it. The purification was an old testament law, in which a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons were sacrificed. Are they still doing that? of course i am pretty sure they are not. <<>>. Where did this come from? But the point is that to understand every thing the Church requires some one to do in order to have eternal life would require some kind of college degree in religion. Or to just do what you are told, which makes no senses, as what does that have to do with faith in God? There are so much of this in so many Churches that if true there is no way i can be saved, when Jesus said the kingdom of God is within you, he had to be talking to the Jewish scribes and pharisees. Or Jesus mentioned none of this and also left out so many other things that is required by the Church that it leads me back to rev 17 and the great whore and her daughters. It can not be both ways, it is either one or the other. But since my faith is in Jesus Christ as the son of God and not the Church then i will bet on rev 17. And some one will always remind me that i must go to Church to be saved, yeah? which one?
