    Your blunder is that you’re trying to compare pagan idol worship with worship of Christ. NO comparison. - A pagan idol is a false god (Exod. 32:4). - Christ is the Lamb of God (John 1:29, Rev. 13:8). – God Himself (John 1:1). - The Israelites were spared by the Angel of Death by placing blood...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    You are correct. The idea that Christians don’t or “can’t” sin is an arrogant heresy that even the Protestant Rebels in the 16th Century never dared to invent. They understood that we would continue to struggle with sin as we are BEING made perfect and holy (Heb. 10:14). - Paul understood...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Thank you for your response – and for keeping the anti-Catholic sentiment out of it. Regardless of what you believe to be “futile”, however, I was looking for a Protestant interpretation of this passage. How do YOU interpret what is going on in 2 Cor. 10:15? By the way – when I first came...

    Like I said - I can't make you address those verses. I can just present them - and watch you run away from them . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    NOT according to Rev. 5:8 . . . When he took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones. And Rev. 8:3-4 . . . Another angel came and stood at the...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I didn't ask you for "Scripture upon Scripture". I asked you to refute the Catholic position in 2 Cor. 3:10-15 that I laid out in post #4. I asked you ONLY to address 2 Cor. 3:10-15 and NOT to bombard me with irrelevant verses. We can address those AFTER you address 2 Cor. 3:10-15.

    Thanks. I'll ask my brothers and sisters in Heaven to pray for you, too . . .

    And there it is – wanton cowardice in its purest form. I have received nothing but evasion, closed minds and anti-Catholic nonsense from YOU, @David Taylor and @Nondenom40 for several pages now. NONE of you has had the courage to address the Catholic position on 2 Cor. 10-15 – except for...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    John 1:7 doesn’t negate Final Purification (Purgatory). Is BECAUSE of Christ’s sacrifice that we are able to be purified. Here is the question: NOTHING impure or imperfect can enter Heaven (Rev. 21:27). Are YOU perfect or perfectly pure? If the answer is “No” – how would you get propose...

    History is on my side. Indulgences were sold but it was an abuse - NOT the norm and NOT sanctioned by the Church. Move on to something you can prove . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    It STILL cracks me up after 16 years of exposing people like you online what incredible hypocrisy you espouse. You spew non-stop hatred and unsubstantiated lies about the Catholic Church – yet when a guy like ME comes around and exposes you for it – all of a sudden, he’s “angry” or “mean”. If...

    No – the “paper trail” ends with Bishop Albert of Brandenburg – NOT Pope Leo. Any attempt to connect Pope Leo to this document is wishful thinking. If you can’t produce hard facts – your case is as impotent as a Nevada Boxing Commissioner . . .

    WRONG. There is only your opinion. Evidence is fact-based . . .

    BreadOfLife ~ UNPROVEN CLAIMS..

    Your fellow Protestans agree with me. This is a basic tenet of Christianity. What you espouse is heresy.

    I didn’t call you a “liar”. I said you LIED about Pope Leo – which you DID. Don’t add more lies to your repertoire . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Once again – Final Purification (Purgatory) has absolutely nothing to do with “second chances”. Everybody who is to receive Final Purification is destined to enter Heaven – and ONLY because of what Christ did on the cross. YOUR continual failure to understand this shows me that you don’t have...

    A NOTE to ALL Anti-Catholics on this thread: Take note of @Brakelite’s response. THIS is a valid refutation of the Catholic position I presented regarding 2 Cor. 3:10-15 It is not the usual cowardly, evasive, insult-laden, anti-Catholic pile of manure that I’ve been getting from some of the...

    Refute this - IF you can . . . Regarding Final Purification (Purgatory) In 1 Cor. 3:10‐15, this is how the process is described: "According to the grace of God given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must be careful how he...
