I ask that you please understand me. I do not hate Catholics. I'm guessing no true believer does. I do hate false doctrine. I see the Catholic Church as a large target for evangelism. For me it's like knowing that a building is about to explode and kill its occupants and it's imperative that I...

2 Cor 12 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven...

Don't confuse Abraham's bosom for purgatory. Abraham's bosom was for OT Saints prior to the cross.

I'm a novice forum commando.

Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. You will not find...

Ephesians 2:11-13

Could not the Jews of that time not understood that to mean that the Gentiles would be converted to Judaism? My understanding is that the Jews knew that the only way a Gentile could be in favor with God was to convert, become proselytes.

The Holy Spirit.

In 2 Corinthians 12:2 Paul tells of a man (himself most think) was taken to the third Heaven. He mentions 14 years prior. Early Church history says that 14 years prior to 2 Corinthians being written Paul was in Lystra. Paul was stoned in Lystra and presumed dead. Did Paul have an out of body...

The scriptures tell us that God kept the mystery since the beginning of time. Jesus said he came only for the lost sheep of Israel. God had a plan since the beginning. Jesus had a mission given by God the Father. Is is possible that God kept it a mystery for a great purpose. Satan thought the...

I'm not convinced that early Judaism read Isaiah 60 and defended it as you might suggest. Come to the light could be understood as being shown the truth, seeing the truth. I do not see it as proof that Gentiles would be heirs. The Jews even the most legalist and religious Jews totally rejected...

Your soul never dies. It is joyous in Heaven or suffering in hell.

I would expect sometime up and into the Middle Ages when Indulgences were a thing. Hard to keep track of all the shifts in doctrine. Do you still think you can pay money for a souls benefit?

Yes. For the believer your soul goes to Heaven for the unbeliever your soul goes to hell therefore having had both destroyed.

The Spirit and Soul of the believer becomes sup servant to the Holy Spirit. It's the flesh (body) that is corrupt at death. That is why we get a new body. Just like the thief on the cross when we die we meet Jesus in Heaven our corrupt body returns to dust until the resurrection.

Was not these prayer cards in practice in the Roman Catholic Church for decades?

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Some think that John the Baptist was an Essene. Some say the Essenes were Gnostic or some of them were Gnostic. Maybe they became Gnostic at some point.

My understanding is that the majority of Protestants who believe in Glorification understands that the process ends at death. That the Sanctification or Glorification is a maturing in Christ while on earth before death.

His body was in the tomb for 3 days. The soul and spirit never dies. Try again my friend.
