What is hard to understand about it? It refers to different levels of punishment (severe beatings and lesser beatings). What that will look like in reality isn't something that is described in scripture. It's only described in parables. But, it talks about punishment. Where are people...

You're not getting your information from scripture. According to scripture, paradise is the third heaven, not part of Hades. 2 Corinthians 12:2 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...

You are not recognizing that what happened back then was God's wrath against the unbelieving Jews. It doesn't matter what Titus's intentions might have been. It was God's intention to punish the Jews who rejected His Son and He did.

You're telling me I'm wrong without showing how I'm supposedly wrong. How nice. And pointless. What a waste of time.

I'm sorry, where does that mention Purgatory? It's not there. It's a figment of your imagination. All that parable shows is that there are different levels of punishment in hell. There is nothing anywhere in scripture to support the idea of Purgatory. Not even close.

You clearly haven't thought this through very carefully. For one thing, you seem to be forgetting about Satan's little season which occurs after the 1000 years end. Surely, you are not trying to tell me that the elements are burned and the new heaven and new earth are ushered in even before...

Please stop this nonsense. Nothing you're saying is taught anywhere in scripture. You have been duped by false teaching.

In other words, you can't tell me where Daniel 9 or Zechariah 14 teach that "Israel is the Nation ruling over all other Nations during the 1,000 year reign of Jesus.". No, I do not substitute the church for Israel. All you can ever do is make false accusations. You literally have nothing else...

If you read that carefully, you should see that "our Lord" refers to God the Father. So, that is talking about when Jesus delivers the kingdom to the Father at His second coming, as Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 15:22-24.

Yeah, so? What is your point? That isn't purgatory. It's the third heaven. 2 Corinthians 12:2 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. 3 And I knew...

Where do Daniel 9 and Zechariah 14 teach that "Israel is the Nation ruling over all other Nations during the 1,000 year reign of Jesus."? Scripture is clear that there is neither Jew nor Gentile in Christ's church. That won't ever change. He has one body of people that belong to Him and they...

That's nonsense. Once you die, that's it. No second chances. Your fate is sealed at that point. You are sadly mistaken.

Is the following passage not in your Bible? 2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men....10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which...

Yes, we will be caught up before the final wrath of God comes down, as described in 2 Peter 3:10-12 and 1 Thess 5:2-3. Obviously, we would need to be taken off of the earth while the earth is being burned up. But, there is nothing in scripture to indicate that we would need to be taken off the...

LOL. You are truly hilarious. Your arrogance is off the charts. You make claims without backing them up. So, tell me what Jesus meant when He said all power/authority in heaven and earth was given to Him (Matt 28:18)? Tell me what Paul meant when he wrote that the Father put Jesus in a...

Why did you say nothing about the text that precedes the text you bolded? That text indicates that, at that time, all things had been put under His feet. It very clearly says "he left nothing that is not put under him". So, are you interpreting the part you bolded with that in mind? It...

Jesus rules over everyone now and does have complete control. You're not accepting what Jesus Himself said. Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. If you can't reign unless you dictate what everyone does then we couldn't...

It's a fact that scripture teaches that Christ reigns now. Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is...

Their souls are there while they await the redemption of their bodies. Paradise is not purgatory. That's complete nonsense and not taught anywhere in scripture. Once you die your fate is sealed. This second chance doctrine you believe in is heretical.

Yeah, I figured that was probably the case, but I'd like to know where he personally sees such a thing taught in scripture. Or is it just something the Catholic Church teaches and he goes along with it?
