“Why don’t you try offering the scriptural basis for purgatory in the New Testament, from the words of the New Testament and not a Catholic Catechism book. If you can.”

Refer to the Old Testament...and to the complete Bible not the shortened version you Protestants use. Your theology is incomplete because after 1,500 years one lunatic decided to correct God and remove some of His Bible.

I dont agree with presumption that all Truth MUST be found in the Bible. Never read that in the Bible...but it IS “usefull”

"Refer to the Old Testament...and to the complete Bible not the shortened version you Protestants use. Your theology is incomplete because after 1,500 years one lunatic decided to correct God and remove some of His Bibl" Nonsense and ignorance. For in reality, scholarly disagreements over the canonicity (proper) of certain books continued down through the centuries and right into Trent, until it provided the first "infallible," indisputable canon  after the death of Luther.

Thus Luther was no maverick but had substantial RC support for his non-binding personal canon. Furthermore, the deuteros (incldg. 2 Mac. 12) does not teach Purgatory or most any of the distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels). .

Why? You cannot!

Whoever told you that Luther removed part of the Bible is a repeating a damnable lie.

1: Catholics didn’t even have an infallable canon until after Luther’s death.

2: Luther did include those books in his translation of the Bible.

Whoever taught you is either a liar or an ignoramus.
