What do you think Purgatory is?

I don't believe there is any further needing of purging of our sin or punishment. By His stripes we are healed. Only bu His Blood our sins removed.

What do you thing Epiousios means?

What about Remembrance? The Lord's Supper or Communion is a set apart time a reenactment of what happened in The Upper Room. It is in a sense The Passover Feast. What is ingested isn't important meaning a wafer will suffice and a small portion of wine. The state of the heart during the observance however is highly important and should be focused upon. It is a time to reflect on Christ who's body took our sins and His blood which establishes the new Blood Covenant. Christ said "Do this in remembrance of me". Christ is already present in the church or anywhere two or more are gathered. 1 Corinthians 11 v 21-34 pretty much spells it out.

What is your objection to confessing to a priest based upon?

OK I reckon if you feel you must. But you see we already have a Priest each of us can confess to and pray to GOD directly in His name. What did Christ say about prayer and asking forgiveness of sin? How are we to pray? The first 15 verses of Matthew ch 6 tells us.

Now if a person commits a sin against the church as in stealing from it etc or causing gossip things like that? Yea a person should tell the preacher, Priest, etc.

On the other hand if I get mad and let out some rather not so nice words in a moment of anger etc I can immediately seeing my wrong ask The Lord myself for forgiveness.

But those are my beliefs and how I read & understand The Bible.

John 6:28-29 (niv)

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

 


1 John 3:21-24

  Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.  And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.  The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.


If an individual or a 'church' keeps on insisting that we 'need' more than the above; they are the Judizers spoken of in Acts chapter 15.
