Hi GP, sorry, been busy and I wanted to give my full attention to this and not hurry. Yes. There are more laws that the gentiles will have to follow. For instance, feeding the poor, clothing the poor, visiting the sick, behaving as Jesus stated in Mathew 5:3-10, The Beatitudes - Behavior...

Paul was pretty afraid... 1 Corinthians 9:27 but I buffet my body and make it my slave, lest possibly, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified. I'm not a believer in Christianity by fear, it doesn't work well... However, Christianity by NO FEAR is wrong also and that is...

Wow. What DON'T you know??? I was raised in the Catholic church by fear till I was about 14. Then I stopped going to church for a while. Then I got saved while not going to any church or ever having read the bible. Then I went to a Nazarene church for about 10 years and I had to put this all...

What's a born again Christian devil?

LOL

Well, yeah. They could, but I also said it's of no use. ( they don't have to -- because what difference does it make??)

Who are you speaking to??

Who said I believe in purgatory. Go back and read everything again. You misunderstand me at times, but I forgive you.

Sorry bb. I mean that people could pray for those in purgatory, but it's no longer acceptable to PAY for them to get out. The payments are for the church, not to get them out. (I didn't say this???)

If she's a sincere Catholic, she CANNOT believe in that. Catholics pray for people in purgatory. The money they pay for cards and the such is for maintenance of the church bldg, etc. Also, the priests keep some of the money because they earn so little. I never pay to have my catholic...

Well, maybe we could think up something false and tell people it's necessary for salvation but they have to buy it. Get rich quick scheme... LOL

Frank, I didn't mean my criticism for YOU. I said either the preacher is lying, and Swaggart has been known to lie, or the priest is crazy. People do NOT get out of purgatory a body piece at a time. If you speak to Catholic theologians they'll tell you that they're not sure what purgatory is...

Why couldn't I think of this scam?

Won't be necessary.

I fully agree with your idea that we should be serving God right now and not waiting to party later. As for the spirit, yes, the spirit goes to be with God, but we all have a spirit...it's the soul that makes us who we are. Our body is in the ground, but our spirit and soul must surely go to...

You're right. From wikipedia...: In Greek mythology, Tartarus is the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the Titans. Tartarus is the place where, according to Plato's Gorgias (c. 400 BC), souls are judged after death and where the...

I never understood that parable too much. I should study it someday. I have two things to say: 1. My brother said it's a sin to even be on these forums. I had asked him to join and he said No. And he's really intelligent too. I'm sorry he won't. We discuss biblical matters a lot. 2. I...

Another question: Do we go to heaven right away or at the resurrection? I think right away, but I have to agree with you, nothing was made absolutely clear about this. I do think that if we have a spirit that spirit cannot die -- so we'd have to be someplace, right?

First of all that persons are paid according to body parts is rediculous. Second of all, no one in the Catholic church will tell you that purgatory is a burning fire. NO ONE THERE knows exactly what purgatory would be like. Anyone who says differently is living in the dark ages. I've also...

This is too funny. Some believe the Lake of Fire is ONLY for satan and his angels. The ONLY place in the bible that actually speaks of hell, as we understand it, in in 2 Peter 2:4. The actual word is Tartarus.
