Time for a lesson in ecclesiology . . . "Roman" (Latin) is simply the name of the Liturgical RITE - of which there are TWENTY that comprise the Catholic Church. Others include the Melkite, Coptic, Byzantine, Maronite, Alexandrian, etc. The official name of the Catholic Church is . . ."The...

Actually - he wasn't - and there isn't a shred of historical evidence to back that up. Just saying . . .

Can you explain what the "Roman" Catholic Church is?

"Were"?? What are you talking about?? Indulgences still exist - and they were NEVER for sale by the Church. What happened in the 16th century was an abuse by some clerics - but it was NEVER a teaching of the Catholic Church. The most famous example was a man names Johann Tetzel who went...

Then don't POST foolish things - like claiming YOU are the righteousness of Christ. I will expose you every time you make one of your asinine claims. STILL waiting for a Biblically-sound refutation of Purgatory . . .

Why do you bother posting on this subject when you are so woefully-ignorant? The Hail Mary is a plea for her to pray for us. We don't ask the prayer in her name. What YOU posted was the salutation. - and it's 100% BIBLICAL (Luke 1:28). Consider yourself exposed - yet again . . . By the way -...

Where do you get your bizarre, unbiblical theology?? EVERY person who ever lived - including Hitler, Manson, Dahmer and Stalin had a body that was prepared for them by God. He is the Creator of ALL living beings. Jer. 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Your credibility has just...

And once again - you fail to grasp that these passages are about the JOURNEY to purity, holiness and sanctification. The fact that you believe you're already there illustrates your utter failure to understand the Word of God. PS - your idiotic comment in RED borders on blasphemy. YOU are the...

Then perhaps you can tell me HOW I didn't. Because, as far as I can see - I did address your points. Please elaborate . . .

And I guarantee you NONE of them have ever prayed in Mary's name. I guess we should add "Dishonest" to your ignorant posts . . .

And ALL of these verses show the PROCESS of becoming pure. We are BEING purified as we are BEING sanctified . . . 2 Cor. 2:15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are BEING SAVED and among those who are perishing 2 Cor. 7:1 Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse...

This is more nonsense based on your complete ignorance of ALL things Catholic. We don't pray in Mary's name - that would be blasphemous. The fact that I have to tell you shows a real pathetic ignorance on your part.

That makes your responses all the more pathetic. And, no - that's NOT what justification means. It doesn't mean you have been "purified". Justification is where we have been transformed into a state of sonship with God. If you were totally pure - you would be perfect - which you are not...

I did. Why do you keep dodging the issue and dancing around a response?? If you're not equipped to discuss this - just admit it and we'll move on.

This post once again shows your complete ignorance of the doctrine of Final Purification - also known as "Purgatory". If you can't discuss this rationally or intelligently - then step aside an let your fellow anti-Catholics argue the point.

You should step aside and let some of your fellow anti-Catholics debate this subject because you are trying to argue this topic from a position of complete and total ignorance. You don’t really understand the Biblical concept of Purgatory (Final Purification). Final Purification is ONLY...

WRONG. It says: But if someone’s work is burned up, that one will suffer loss; the person WILL be saved, but only as through fire. They will suffer AS THROUGH FIRE. since when does that not hurt?? There isn't ANY kind of suffering in Heaven. There cannot be suffering where imperfection does...

Ummmm, Purgatory or final purification is PART of the Judgement. It happens AFTER death. What part of that don’t YOU understand? As for the word “Purgatory” not being in Scripture – why is THIS an issue?? The word “Trinity” isn’t in the Bible – and this is a BASIC tenet of Christianity...

YOU stated that SCRIPTURES teaches “to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” Scripture teaches NO SUCH thing. That is a common Protestant overreach - and frankly, dishonest. As for 1 Cor. 3:10-15, you are wrong there as well. As I explained back in post #4 . . . This...

Tell you what - I'll make it easy on you. Just address my comments on 1 Cor. 3:10-15 . . . Actually – Scripture NEVER says “to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” Paul says that he would RATHER be absent from the body and be present with the Lord. STRIKE ONE . . . In post...
