Hell isn’t Purgatory.
And prayers for mercy are prayers for mercy.
You seem to think that we are saying that prayer can change God’s mind and convert a dead, damned person into a saved person.
That’s not what we are saying at all. Purgatory is for the elect.
No, I am not saying that at all.
I AM saying that the idea of purgatory denigrates, diminishes Jesus. It puts forth that He is not sufficient to get you to Heaven, that you MUST have prayers of men to finish the deal.
Define elect.
