    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    The Pope is not infallible in everything he says. That’s a complete misunderstanding of infallibility. For example - I wouldn’t necessarily take his advice on who will win the Superbowl HOWEVER, in matters of teaching faith and morals, he cannot err or contradict himself or an official Church...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    I'm not "binding" God by realizing that He makes exceptions. God makes exceptions. Those who do not accept Christ are ultimately condemned. HOWEVER, Jesus makes an exception for those who are invincibly ignorant (John 9:41). Once again - Water Baptism is the NORMATIVE MEANS of salvation. We...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    You are dead wrong: Rom. 5:14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come. EVERYBODY is guilty of sin – even if they did NOT sin on their own. This is the...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Sooooooo, no actual refutation of what I posted. Just another cowardly hit-and-run comment. Pretty much what I expected . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WRONG. The Church doesn’t contradict herself. Can you give me an example?? Christ guaranteed that even the gates of Hell would not prevail against His Church. Can YOU tell me when they DID prevail and all was lost?? Because, if that’s the case - then Jesus lied . . .

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    This is a lie. I never said that Water Baptism wasn’t necessary. My position ALL along is that it IS necessary for salvation. The Thief on the cross is an example of the EXCEPTION. YIOU have made the gross error of basing your doctrine on the exception – and that is your folly. Aborted...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    WEAK. Of course there is no mention of “Original Sin” in Rom. 5:14 because that terminology wasn’t used until centuries later. The TEACHING is there, however. You won’t find the word, “Trinity” in Scripture because that terminology came centuries later. The TEACHING is there, however. Your...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Because YOU don't have clue about Papal infallibility. That's why you're confused. Soooooo, enlighten us and give us YOUR definition of Sloa Scriptura, because I've heard several . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    No, they had nothing to do with the Scriptures pertaining to the phoney, man-made fallacy of Sola Scriptura. When you cherry-pick like that, you wind up confused and ignorant . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    No - I'm not going to die in the same heresy that YOU espouse. I'll stick with orthodox Christian teaching . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Ummmmm, what they said was handed down by ORAL Tradition - the same way it was handed down in the OT. Do you actually ever READ your Bible??

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WRONG. It’s about AUTHORITY. WRONG. It is the power to BIND and LOOSE – WHATEVER they saw fit. WRONG. This is to the leaders of His Church, which is a SUCCESSIVE office (Acts 1:20, 1 Tim. 2:2, 2 Tim. 1:12-14). Absolutely. HOWEVER – Christ gave them the power to forgive sin and HOLD them BOUND...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    And you have YET to present even ONE LINE of Scripture to back up your claim in RED. Not ONE line . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Exactly. NOW you're learning . . . Matt 16:19 I will give YOU the keys to the kingdom of heaven. WHATEVER YOU BIND on earth shall be bound in heaven; and WHATEVER YOU LOOSE on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Matt. 18:18 Amen, I say to you, WHATEVER YOU BIND on earth shall be bound in...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Uhhhh, by the way - they're NOT. NONE of the following verses have ANYTHING to do with the Scriptures at all. They deal with false teachers. 1 Tim. 6, which was too long to post is ALSO about false teachers and has ZERO to do with the authority of Scripture. Gal. 1:8 But though we, or an...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Your position is only valid if you van show me- FROM SCRIPTURE - that Scripture contains everything that Jesus and the Holy Spirit taught the Apostles. The fact is that the Scriptures themselves states explicitly that they DON'T. John 23:25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    And therein lies your Docetist Heresy for everybody here to see. Where are all of your non-Catholic friends?? Where are all of the people who usually side with you when you are attacking the Catholic Church?? They have abandoned you on this point because they know you are preaching heresy . . ...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Rubbish. 2 Thess. 2:15 isn't the only place where Traditions are spoken of - and it's NOT the only community to which He talked about them: 2 Tim. 2:2 "What you have HEARD FROM ME before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also". 1 Cor. 11:2 "I commend you...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WRONG. He said it was the Traditions taught by the LEADERS of the Church. There is NO expiration date on 2 Thess. 2:15. Anyway - the Canon of the NT that YOU follow is a Tradition of the Catholic Church . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    What a pathetic argument. “He shall be called a Nazarene” is a QUOTE – NOT some obscure reference to a Region that contained a Sub-Region that just happened to include the small hamlet of Nazareth. It’s a QUOTE, Einstein. Learn the difference . . .
