Gibberish again!!! Is the question too hard or is the answer too embarrassing????
I know it's hard for you to accept that some of us are not persuaded by your arguments. But there's no need to become abusive. In my opinion, your case for what you believe is risibly unpersuasive. In your opinion my case for what I believe is ditto.
Tra La! The daffodils are blooming, the pagan fertility symbols are hopping across my lawn and attempting to destroy my garden, the pagan fertility festival -- aka, in the words of John of Damascus, "the queen of seasons bright" -- is less than two weeks away, and if you want to worship on a Saturday, you just go right ahead. In fact, if you want to think I'm going to hell for worshipping on a Sunday, have at it! I think it's silly, but it won't change one whit how much God loves both of us.
Uncle Chip,
Purgatory has already been covered (by me) in posts 904 and 1256 on this thread, but since you evidently weren't paying attention the first two times, I will re-post the info a third time:
Jesus talks about not getting out of prison until paying the last penny:
Matthew 5:26
Matthew 18:34-35
Luke 12:59
St. Paul says "each man's work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man's work is burned up he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire." 1 Corinthians 3:13-15
Praying for the dead is very clearly discussed in 2 Maccabees 12:38-46, which was part of Holy Scripture for 1500 years, but was conveniently taken out of the Protestant Bible because it conflicted with Protestant Theology. "For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin." 2 Maccabees 12:44-45
I know you will argue with me, but I am posting this for the benefit of others who might want an answer.
