What truth? It is Calvin's opinion. When he offers some scripture, he misses half the time, and his naked opinion is of no consequence to me.

[P-Marlowe]

I am not a Calvinist, however I doubt very seriously if there was any man before him or after him who had a more thorough and singular understanding of scripture. You can dismiss him as a heretic, but your inane vitriolic insults about who he was without specifically answering the points he raised is evidence to me that you do not have the ammunition to refute his position. So fire away. You are shooting blanks.

The fact of the matter is that the whole idea of Purgatory is anathema to the whole of scripture and to any and all true systematic theology. Christ's work on the cross was finished when he so proclaimed it. If you want to suffer and die for your own sins, be my guest. But since the wages of sin is death, you will never be able to purge yourself from any of your sins. If Christ alone does not purge you of your sins, then your sins will go with you to the grave. And after that.... Judgment.
