    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Actually - this is a LIE. The Greek word describing Mary used in Luke 1:28 is "Kecharitomene". The NT was written in GREEK - not English. I haven't been "beating around the bush". I'm stating categorically that this is what the Word of GOD says - and YOU have not been able to address it . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    TRANSLATION: "I don't have ANY Scriptural refutation for the evidence you presented." That's what I thought . . .

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    WRONG. NONE of the verses you presented say a THING about there being "no exceptions". I can give you MILLIONS of exceptions right now - Aborted babies. Is it your belief that they all burn in Hell because they weren't baptized?? Do you believe that those born with severe mental retardation...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Do you believe that Jesus Christ was a human being as well as God - or that He was just spirit?

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    No - you've CLAIMED I was in error nut offer NOTHING in refutation. CLAIMING and SHOWING are two completely different things . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WOW. Do you ramble on this much on your personal life?? Like I said - I have many differences of theological opinion with different Protestant denominations. HOWEVER - we share the SAME basic tenets of the faith: - That God is a Trinity: Father, Son, Holy Spirit - That God Himself came down...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    No - it's only a waste of time if you're going to post your brief opinions without Scriptural, historical or linguistic evidence. If you can't make a case using these elements - then you have NO case. Preaching the truth of Scripture is NEVER a "waste" of time . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WRONG. I have given you the following definition several times now: Kecharitomene is a perfect participle that indicates a COMPLETED action with a PERMANENT result. It translates as: COMPLETELY, PERFECTLY and ENDURINGLY endowed with grace. Only those in Heaven have this kind of endowed grace...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Np - you've only posted brief, hit-and-run comments. How about a well-thought-out Scriptural and historical refutation for a change??

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    That's ALL I've been doing. EVERY Catholic teaching I have presented - or defended here is verified in Scripture.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Then PROVE me wrong. CAN you do that? If I'm preaching a perverted Gospel - it is your DUTY as a Christian to set me straight.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Then show me HOW they are out of context. I already showed you Luke 1:28 repeatedly - and gave you her title of "Kecharitomene" along with its definition. YOU responded with NOTHING. We ABSOLUTELY do. It's called APOSTOLIC TRADITION - and it's been handed down through the centuries from the...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Uhhhhhh, no. Not ONE single person here has come to your defense on your heresy that Jesus was NOT a human being as well as God. They know as well as I do that this is is one of THE basic tenets of Christianity. We may have theological differences - but they have NOT bought into the Docetist...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WRONG. Our entire conversation has been me giving a litany of Scriptural evidence for the Catholic position – and YOU giving short, hit-and-run remarks with ZERO relevant Biblical reference, Let's recap, shall we? In post #842 – I obliterated your claim that Rom. 3:10 includes Mary – and...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WRONG. You don't have a clue as to how doctrine develops - do you? This was never a set doctrine of the Catholic Church - ii was largely a matter of opinion - like Limbo. If you can't present an intelligent argument against a Catholic teaching - then either do your homework - or don't...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    How is this a contradiction?? This has been a developing teaching for YEARS because of modern crime-solving procedures, DNA evidence, vastly improved incarceration security, etc. This teaching was NEVER fully defined. It was always left up to each situation. Listen - if you don't understand a...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    No - Scripture, history and linguistic explanations do. ALL of which I have presented - while YOU have presented zilch.

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Yup. The Thief on the cross is a classic case of a "deathbed" conversion.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Like I said before - WHERE is all of your supppprt?? EVERY SINGLE Protestant Christian here has abandoned your side because you preached heresy about Christ's humanity. This isn't about ME being Catholic. It's about YOU having abandoned Christianity . . .

    No, I give evidence-based responses. YOU simply make comments with NO evidence.
