And in what cult would you belong to in which dead spirits are cleansed?
Does Paul say you are dead in your trespasses and sins? Does Paul say that by faith you are saved? I am a member of His family by His Holy Spirit within me. And natch that is in my before dead spirit, since the spirit is dead without that which God created it top contain, the same thing that went out of Adam and Eve resulting in their death, spiritually. When God says in that day you shall surely die, He means THAT DAY. So we know the state of dead has to be spiritual because the couple remained in the Garden until God drove them out.
BTW, the ‘His’ refers to The Family of Jesus Christ.
A person's spirit is dead until God gives it life.
Are you saying, then, that Catholicism doesn't cleanse anyone's spirit? No wonder they're not sure if they're going to make it to heaven.
