The new covenant church is the new or heavenly Jerusalem?

Nope

Purgatory

You should purge yourself of all belief in Purgatory -- a totally fictitious place. You will not find the word "purgatory" in Scripture.

Exactly. Purgatory is a completely man-made idea not found in Holy Scripture ANYWHERE.

We can come boldly to the throne of Grace, and Christ is our mediator.


Heb 4:16 "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."


For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.1 Timothy 2:5 Not mary-not the saints.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

We are told Jesus is our Mediator--nobody else. We can go to Him directly.

@Cassandra What a privilege indeed, as per Hebrews 4.16!

 

[farouk]

Exactly. Purgatory is a completely man-made idea not found in Holy Scripture ANYWHERE.

@reformed1689 "He by Himself purged our sins" (Hebrews 1) shows that the purging of sins, properly understood, occurred entirely at the Cross; now a finished work, denoted by the fact that He sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

I'm sorry, I thought you said one said it was the church.

In response to theefaiths constant clamoring about his mother church, and you suggesting there is no mother church in scripture, I was pointing out that I believe there is, and it is theefaith's own church, in union with all other apostate sisters and daughters, those Protestant churches who after coming out of Babylon have returned to "mother". One can see this taking place, and got a big boost with the late Anglican bishop ? Palmer, who encouraged such as Copeland and numerous other pentecostal churches to denounce the reformation and claimed there to be no reason not to rejoin Rome. A great lie of course, unless you no longer accept Bible truth.

 

[Brakelite]

Oh really better try again!

John 11:25
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

James 5:16 avails much
Rev 5:8 prayers of the saints

And....???? How exactly does any of that help your cause?

there is absolutely no reason to join Rome as Rome is not Christian.

Hi @GodsGrace,

So before Pope Francis, even if the divorced person got an annulment, and remarried they could not receive Communion?

If an annulment was declared, the person could get remarried in the church.
An annulment means that the marriage never took place.

 

[GodsGrace]

Maybe it was Dr. Who...he time travels, you know!

I'd like an answer from the other poster...I hope to get one.
Some just don't know church history...

 

[GodsGrace]

That we better know its the true JESUS we are following and not another version of said JESUS .
For if we follow a version of Jesus created by men , We will surely wail on the DAY of the LORD .
Let us learn the scriptures well and test all things that men do teach .

Can't agree with you.
Your way of being a friend with Christ is not the only way.
There are persons that have never read the bible that are just as saved as you are.
There are persons that believe incorrect doctrine that are just as saved as you are.

Knowing the bible does not save us....knowing God saves us.
Knowing correct doctrine does not save us...knowing God saves us.

I know Yeshua...that's good enough for me.

 

[GodsGrace]

No, my nope is concerning who wrote Scripture.

Right.
Are you saying the church did not write scripture?
Or that it did not compile scripture into a bible?

 

[GodsGrace]

I know Yeshua...that's good enough for me.

Good.
But then why are you discussing church history with a poster???

 

[GodsGrace]

You should purge yourself of all belief in Purgatory -- a totally fictitious place. You will not find the word "purgatory" in Scripture.

This is true...
but not because the word purgatory is not found.

 

[Truman]

Good.
But then why are you discussing church history with a poster???

Because it's a public forum and I'll talk to whoever I want?
I know church history and I've been doing my best to forget it. But hey, if you like to waste your time, knock yourself out.

 

[theefaith]

Show me where it says the church? Oh wait, it doesn't.

i did

the church is the pillar and ground of truth 1 Tim 3:15


Truth must be revealed by God, and taught by the church, proposed for our belief, we must be instructed!
Matt 28:19 Lk 1:4 Acts 8:31 Lk 10:16 Jn 21:17 Jn 16:13 acts 2:42

the word bible is not in the Bible
The word trinity is not in the Bible but the doctrine is as is purgatory

biblical principle nothing impure shall enter heaven

 

[theefaith]

you said they are dead

jn 10:10 life
Jn 1:16-17 grace truth life

 

[Enoch111]

biblical principle nothing impure shall enter heaven

Yet that criminal on the cross who put his faith in Christ entered Heaven. And so have countless Christians who never went to a fantasyland called "Purgatory".
