Nothing touches the bodies or souls

You make me laugh. Just read the passage. For example, in verse 15, what do you think happens?

I know what happens...

1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

1Co 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Every man's work...It shall be revealed...

You walk up to the judge...You hand him a journal or a diary, a list of all your works...NOT SINS...There are no sinners here...Our sins have since been forgive or we wouldn't be here at this judgement...

Rom_4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

This is a list of all the things we did for Jesus...Or what we thought was for Jesus (ie. we joined the church choir, teach false doctrine, etc.)...

This list of works are then subjected to fire...The fire dies down and what's left on the list are those things that were truly done for Jesus...That's what gets judged...The works, not the person...We have already been judged before we even get there...

Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

We have everlasting life, right now...We will not be condemned for anything...

1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss:

And what loss will we incur??? Lose our salvation??? Nope...

1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

Is that reward salvation??? Nope...Even Catholic doctrine claims that if you make it to purgatory you are on your way to heaven...So you can not apply this reward to salvation...Because that would imply that Catholics in purgatory who don't get rewards don't get salvation...They may still go to hell...

but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Does the verse say we shall be saved by fire...Absolutely NOT...It says, 'as by fire'...It's a picture of something...When this list reaches God the Father, the only thing he will see on the list is what has survived the fire...There will be nothing negative on the list...We are saved from God seeing anything negative by the fire which burned up the bad works...

It doesn't seem to be Catholic doctrine but the bible tells us we who are Christians are indwelt with the Holy Ghost...What happens to that Spirit when the Catholic is burning up in purgatory???
