    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    THANK YOU for illustrating so clearly just how spiritually prideful – and emotionally-unbalanced you are. You’re doing a LOT of prideful squawking about yourself – but you haven’t produce a single SHRED of Scriptural evidence for your false doctrine of Sola Scriptura. Your psychotic ad hominem...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Irenaeus, in his treatise, Against Heresies, lists Infant Baptism as a wel-established Church practice from CHRIST Himself. How would Irenaeus know this?? He was a student of Polycarp who was a student of the Apostle John. He writes about Infant Baptism: Irenaeus He [Jesus] came to save all...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Shows how little you know. Tertullian wasn’t against Infant Baptism. He simply advised that people wait. For that matter – Tertullian ALSO said that UNMARRIED ADULTS shouldn’t get baptized, as a matter of prudence, because they’re more prone to temptation. Because of this - he thought that...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    No, you're anti-Catholic. You referred to Catholic teachings as: “Bunk”, “False, so called sacred traditions” and “precepts of men”. You referred to Catholic leaders as “Wolves”. You referred to ME as: “Apostate”. Yup – I’d say that makes you an anti-Catholic. You also stated that I am “spewed...

    You are obviously anti-Catholic, but why did you mention Constantine??

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    “Throwing children” at you?? WHAT are you talking about?? You sound unbalanced. Take a few deep breaths and calm down before you post. I only mentioned Infant Baptism as an example of Oral Tradition. The Early Church Fathers are UNANIMOUS on the fact that this is an APOSTOLIC teaching...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Not sure why you’re bringing up Constantine. He wasn’t a Catholic leader. Secondly – your claim that “everything” I know about Christ is from Scripture is complete nonsense. Everything I have been taught by His CHURCH, which is an extension if HIM (Acts 9:3-5, Col. 1:18) is what I know about...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    That's funny - GOD doesn't. Otherwise, He would have made sure it was written down in Scripture. Instead - He places Sacred Tradition to be ON PAR with Scripture because it comes from HIM . . . 2 Thess 2:15 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught, either by an ORAL...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    First of all - I'm NOT calling Christ or anybody else a hypocrite - so calm down. Secondly - you have NOT shown me where Scripture states that Scripture alone is to be our SOLE Authority. The Scriptures themselves state that although the Scriptures are Authoritative - Christ's Church is our...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Your entire argument just circled the drain as soon as I came to the text above in RED. NOWHERE does Scripture make this claim about itself. Sola Scriptura is a man-made 16th century invention that is NOT supported by the very Scriptures it purports to hold as the "Sole Authority". We read in...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    And YOUR tragic follow is that you actually believe that the NT was written in Old English and not Greek. Here is some PROTESTANT scholarship on the humanity of Jesus. Ellicott’s Commentary And so our Lord’s bitter suffering, diffused through life and concentrated on the Cross, WAS NO MERE...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I didn't say it did. We have Kecharitomene in Luke 1:28 to illustrate her sinlessness.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    On anybody he wants - PERIOD. Exod. 33:19 I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Take it up with God . . . Heb. 2:17 For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    First of all - God doesn't "find" grace in ANYBODY. He BESTOWS grace. And He bestows it on ANYBODY in ANY WAY He wants.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    2 Thess. 2:15 is from Paul - a MAN writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He EQUATES Oral Tradition with Scripture. NOT much more I can add to that . . .

    An\other LIE. H.W. Smyth was one of the most revered authorities in ancient Greek language. He was a professor of ancient Greek at Harvard University. He taught Ancient Greek in Athens Greece for 15 years. He wrote EIGHT textbooks on the subject. Your rejections of my scholarly evidence are...

    Sooooooo, where's the proof?? Christ is the embodiment of the New Covenant. Did you have somebody ELSE in mind??

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I didn't say you were a Calvinist. I said you were espousing a Calvinist tenet (Limited Atonement) - the idea that Christ only side for some but NOT all. Christ died for EVERYBODY and redeemed (paid for) them, WRONG. Paul is speaking specifically to Colossian Christians - but the context...
