    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    And NOWHERE do these verses imply that God is a “kind” of Man because there is only ONE kind of Man – the Human kind. He wasn’t manifested as a human being until the NT. The fact that Jesus was manifext as a human being IS a revealed truth. It was only LATER that rebellious men like the...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Pretty pathetic – even coming from YOU. As I educated you in my last post – NOWHERE does the OT state, “He shall be called a Nazarene”. This was ORAL TRADITION. EVERY example I gave you was ORAL Tradition and NOT written in the OT Scriptures. The “Traditions” that Paul spoke of in 2 Thess 2:15...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Nonsense. First of all – YOU are just as responsible for presenting evidence that the Thief WAS Baptized if you are going to demand proof that he WASN’T. Secondly – your claim that he wasn’t an example of NT Gospel salvation is rubbish. He was saved because of His faith and obedience in Jesus...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    WRONG. That’s NOT what Rom. 5:14 says. It says that they did not sin LIKE Adam did. They did not defy a command from God like Adam did: New International Version 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...

    There is only ONE kind of man - the human kind. Your nonsense is flat-out heresy . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I’ve already defined this word for you about TWENTY times. You keep dodging it because you cannot refute it. Here it is one more time for your reading pleasure . . . Kecharitomene is a perfect participle and indicates a COMPLETER action with a PERMANENT result. It translates as COMPLETELY...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WRONG. As I educated you before – Sacred Tradition is NOT simply a practice or a day or a festival. Sacred Tradition refers to ORAL Teaching. It was the SAME for the Jews of the OT. Here are some examples, Einstein: Matt. 2:23 - the prophecy "He shall be a Nazarene" is ORAL TRADITION. It is...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Instead of responding with idiotic or snarky replies - why don't you actually address the Scriptural evidence I presented?? CAN you do that?

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    And YOU don't have a CLUE as to what Romans 3 is about. Romans 3:10-12 states explicitly that it is referring to what has been written - specifically Psalm 14. Rom. 3:10-12 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    We already hashed out your heresy regarding your rejection of Christ's Hypostatic Union in another thread No need to rehash here. Suffice it to say - it is a BASIC tenet of Christianity - and YOU reject it.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WOW. Every one of your posts is more revealing than the last regarding just how woefully-ignorant you really are. Time for another Bible lesson . . . "Traditions" aren't necessarily an event or a day or a practice like festivals or Sabbaths or Passover. The "Traditions" spoken of in 2 Thess...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    The "Great cloud of witnesses" that the author of Hebrews is talking about in Heb. 12:1 is the list of people (and more) that he discussed in Chapter 11 - known as the "Hall of Faith" chapter. These are the great people of faith from the OT who left this world and currently reside in Heaven...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Sooooo, to recap - you refuse to accept that it was the CHURCH who defined the doctrine Trinity at the Council of Nicaea. History and Scripture disagree with you. You ALSO believe that Paul and the rest of the Apostles were teaching the Jewish Traditions to the Christian world. The Council of...

    Then, perhaps YOU can take a stab at refuting Mary's title of "Kecharitomene". Please explain how this doesn't set her apart as sinless. I eagerly await your well-researched and intelligent response . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    For what it's worth - I don't think of you as a Calvinist. Calvinists, for the most part are Christians. YOU, on the other hand deny the basic Christian tenet of faith that Christ was a human being as well as God . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Just as I thought. Thank you for showing us all how little you understand about Scripture. time for a Bible lesson . . . Biblical truth and doctrine comes to us in TWO ways from Scripture: EXPLICIT teaching and IMPLICIT teaching. An example of EXPLICIT doctrine would be Christs's sacrificial...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    His doctrines were handed down by the Apostles in BOTH the written AND the ORAL: 2 Thess 2:15 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught, EITHER BY an ORAL STATEMENT OR BY a LETTER from us." There is NO expiration date on 2 Thess. 2:15. You need to STUDY your Bible instead of...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Just as I thought - another deflection. Kecharitomene implies that Mary was ALWAYS without sin because she was comeletely, perfectly and enduringly endowed with grace. Now - are you going to address this - or are you going to continue to dodge it?? As for Rom. 3 - don't even use that verse...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Just as I thought. NEITHER of those verses have anything to do with Sola Scriptura. NEITHER of them show that Scripture is our SOLE authority. Once again - you have failed because thgis is an unbiblical, man-made 16th century invention . . .
