The teaching of Purgatory or a final purification is completely Biblical. The word "Purgatory" isn't in Scripture - but neither is "Trinity", "Incarnation" or "Bible" . . . In 2 Macc. 42-46, we see that Judas Maccabeus prays for the men of his army, killed in battle. Verse 44 says, “… for if he...

Either you're NOT that bright - or you're just ignorant. YOU asked me for Early Church evidence of the doctrine of INDULGENCES - not Purgatory. They are TWO SEPARATE doctrines. So, you ask me about ONE doctrine - then attack me for not giving ample evidence for another. That's like me asking...

I've nailed you on this lie repeatedly but you insist on regurgitating your asinine fairy tales. I've warned you over and over again that I will expose you at every turn when you lie. Anyway - I KNOW you're anti-Bread of Life - but you don't have to confess that to ME. You'll have a tough...

That's because people weren't identified as "sons of God" in the OT - with the exception of Adam and the nation of Israel. The latter case is actually a prophecy about Jesus (Hos. 11:1). Interestingly, Luke 18:15 says, “Now they were bringing even INFANTS to him” (Prosepheron de auto kai ta...

WHERE is the verse that says ALL of God’s Word is written down in the Bible?? You missed that one . . . I agree 100%. HOWEVER - we are ALL called to intercede for one another, Einstein (1 Cor. 3:9, 1 Tim. 2:1-3, Eph 6:18, James 5:16, 1 John 5:16). I agree 100%. READ your Bible correctly...

Please cite chapter and verse for your claims so that we can see the CONTEXT. Context is NEVER on your side when you cherry-pick . . .

No - it's based on 2000 years of teachings of the historic Christian faith. The simple fact is that NOBODY prior to John Calvin taught this "Limited Atonement" garbage for 1500 years . . .

And in your abject ignorance - you keep stating that I belong to the "Roman Church" when my avatar CLEARLY indicates that I live in the Unites States. My archdiocese is about 10,000 miles away from the Roman Church. Now - the fact that you are trying to use this term as a pejorative -...

WHO said the promise was Baptism, Einstein?? I said the promises OF baptism. the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the forgiveness of sin. Circumcision initiated the child into the Covenant with God. Baptism initiates the person into the NEW Covenant with God. Baptism FULFILLS Circumcision -...

No - it works like THIS: - God wills the salvation of ALL people and that ALL come to a knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:3-4). - God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son - that WHOSOEVER believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). It DOESN'T work...

NOBODY was saved at Calvary. We were REDEEMED. BIG difference. Our sins were paid for - NOT forgiven. Forgiveness requires OUR repentance. EVERYBODY who was or will be saved cooperates with the grace that was given by Christ's finished work on the cross. NOBODY was "automatically" saved or...

The Doctrine of Indulgences in the Early Church John 20:21-23 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins YOU FORGIVE are forgiven them, and whose...

Tell that to those in the Melkite, Maronite, Byzantine, Coptic, Alexandrian, etc. Rites. They are ALSO Catholics - but not "Roman" Catholics . . .

You mean, read what you cherry-picked . . . Once again, you didn't read the document, nor do you understand WHO it was written to. As I educated you earlier - we don't refer to our Bishops as "Patriarchs". This is an EASTERN nomenclature for Liturgical rites such as the Alexandrian, Coptic and...

What is "RCC"??

It WAS an olive branch. The ENTIRE encyclical was an olive branch, as it is about the UNITY of the Body - ALL the Rites. THAT'S why I included the ENTIRE title - to show you WHO it was addressed to. Here is the Title AGAIN. Read carefully: "ENCYCLICAL HUMANI GENERIS OF THE HOLY FATHER PIUS...

As I educated you before on this - with your limited understanding of context, you are guilty of cherry-picking once again. You do i ALL the time with Scripture, so I'm NOT surprised that you would do it with other documents. Pius XII's Encyclical known as "Humani Generis" has a much longer...

You just proved that we Catholics aren't "loved" by the world by your own persecution of us. Thanks!

I couldn't agree with you more. Lying is about the worst thing you can do on a discussion forum.

If you people just did your homework - I wouldn't have to humiliate you like this in public. And, once again - what is "RCC"?? Can you explain??
