[Cronos]

The Pauline epistles are still considered holy text. So whether he was a nut or not, the words in that epistle saying "saved, but as through fire" mentioned in 1 Cor 3:15? are valid scripture.

The Pauline epistles are still considered holy text. So whether he was a nut or not, the words in that epistle saying "saved, but as through fire" mentioned in 1 Cor 3:15? are valid scripture.

But this text utterly fails to teach Purgatory, for to reiterate, the only suffering after this life that the NT clearly speaks of is that of the loss of rewards (and the Lord's revelation and disapproval) at the judgment seat of Christ, which one is saved despite the loss of, and which does not occur until the Lord's return and believers resurrection. (1Cor. 3:8ff; 4:5; 2Tim. 4:1,8; Rev.11:18; Mt. 25:31-46; 1Pt. 1:7; 5:4) Versus Purgatory, which suffering commences at death in order to enable souls to enter Heaven.
