“Oppps not about Purgatory ,,,BUT THE FINAL JUDGEMENT and the eternal hell”
You fail again. I never said it was about Purgatory. I said you had been wrong BEFORE. Here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3259724/posts?page=57#57
Remember, two posts earlier in that thread you said: “One more infallible teaching that falls to scripture. Either God is omnipresent or not>”
And I showed that SCRIPTURE ITSELF SAYS man in Hell is AWAY FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD (2 Thess 1:7-9). Not surprisingly you left the thread at that point and never returned to respond.
Your second mistake was to mistake a post about Hell for one about Purgatory even though I said you had been wrong BEFORE.
You lose. Twice.
And don’t ever forget, the BIBLE SAYS “AWAY FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD”.
Also, not, here you admit that this verse is about Hell. That means you are now admitting that you were previously wrong with this entire thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3259724/posts
You did not prove her wrong. You admitted yourself that she was correct with this statement " God might very well be present in some form,". You cannot prove by 2 Thessalonians that God is not there. That passage simply says they will be "away from His face".
>>And dont ever forget, the BIBLE SAYS AWAY FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.<<
Actually the Greek word means "face" or "countenance".
Your claims that she was wrong are in error as your statement above attests.
Your INTERPRETATION is only valid if you deny the OMNIPRESENCE of God ...I am assuming this is not a PERSONAL interpretation ..cause Rome FORBIDS THAT :)
So please supple the INFALLIBLE interpretation from the MAGISISTERIUM
In the meantime lets look at the Greek in the meantime shall we ??

Actually she said nothing of the sort.
Time to stop playing with your straw men again.
