It’s impossible to ascend above purgatory as a practicing protestant. But congratulations on staying out of the eternally burning cauldron. Once in purgatory, God will purify your soul and make you into a Catholic, and then you’ll find heaven and meet Jesus.
That's about the biggest bunch of nonsense I've ever read.
As a Christian, you're already purified in God's eyes.
What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? 2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3For what does the Scripture say? “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 4Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, 6just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7“BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.
8“BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.” (Romans 4:1-8)
Could we have a source for this nonsense ?? It sounds just like the Mormon soul prison
Got a chapter and verse on that one?
I'm having trouble finding the words *purgatory* and *Catholic* in the Bible.
Why would we believe a ridiculous fable like that when we have the words of God tell us the actual truth???
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Do you really think the nonsense you posted is going to deter us from knowing Jesus...Just because you and most Catholics do NOT know Jesus you think that no one else can know Jesus???
Joh 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Joh 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
Joh 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
The Catholic religion is the thief...
Joh 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
We Christians KNOW Jesus and he knows us...I can only pity you people who DON'T know Jesus but hope that some day, if you are good enough, will get to meet him...
Would this be Level Two in Mormon Heaven??
HEAVEN-The Mormon church teaches there are three levels of heaven (three "degrees of glory"):
SALVATION: A word that Mormons qualify in one of three ways: unconditional or general salvation is simply resurrection from the dead, granted to all through Christ's atonement; conditional or individual salvation involves entering the celestial kingdom through works of Mormonism; full salvation means exaltation to become a God as a result of temple ceremonies and other works. The word 'salvation' can have a two-fold meaning: a) forgiveness of sins and b) universal resurrection:
The Mormons have several different levels of "salvation".
Please cite the Biblical chapter and verse that supports this claim.
