Forgiveness is forgiveness.

That’s the whole reason for Christ dying. HE took the punishment for our sins.

Since He took the punishment for our sins, we don’t have to.

God’s wrath was satisfied with Christ’s death on the cross.

Therefore there is no need for Purgatory, for punishment of sin forgiven. It’s already been decided.

If we’re being punished for it, than it hasn’t been forgiven.

I am familiar with this line of thought. It does not deal with what I presented beyond contradicting it. I already knew that you disagreed with it. Maybe some lurkers will be persuaded.

“”Forgiveness is forgiveness.””

Not quite that easy ,dear sister,our sins have consequences beyond just yourself ,it effects fellow man and nature surrounding man, so your sin has effect on others beyond yourself,thus another need for reparation

Remember the devil’s sin of pride? The whole heavens were disrupted due to this sin.

When you sin you not only have offended God but your sin has stained fellow man as well who might for example react bitterly towards others as a result of your sin

Goot run -time for Adoration

Amen! You're absolutely right. Christ took the penalty for our sins when he died on the cross. There is no more punishment to pay - He paid it all!
