1 Corinthians 3 on Purgatory Response to James White

[allmenwomen]

what about none cristians.please answer me. i am comfused since lots of years about walking in that narrow way that jesus taught about which is dificult .it is mentioned also that few people will enter the narrow way which means most than half the world past,present and fuuture will go to hell?thanks for answering me

[deliveringit]

@allmenwomen The Church has taught for 2000 years what she received from the Apostles: that is, no one is saved from Hell who does not believe upon Jesus Christ and enter His church. Instead of asking God why He allows so many to go to Hell, we should ask those who go to Hell, "Why didn't you believe in Jesus?"

Purgatory is hell and hell is purgatory. Once you are there, forget about heaven!

FROM ESV Study Bible 1 Cor. 3:14-15.. See also v. 8 and 4:4-5. Although those who have believed in Jesus have already been justified by faith (Rom. 5:1) and will not face condemnation on the final day (John 5:24; Rom. 8:1, 33), God will still judge their works (Rom. 14:10-12; 2 Cor. 5:10) and reward them accordingly (Matt. 6:1-6, 16, 18; 10:41-42). Paul's point applies not just to church leaders but to anyone who contributes in any way to building up the church (1 Cor. 12:7, 12-31; 14:12).

So let me get this right. Catholics DENY that Christ's shed blood is able to cleans us of ALL sins. 1Jn 1:7 .. the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us FROM ALL SIN. Heb 7:25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since HE ALWAYS LIVES to make intercession for them.

people cannot pass from one to the other. Catholics defend purg. by quoting the uninspired 2Mac12:40-46 where a "sin offering" is offered for dead soldiers who had committed the sin of idolatry. This not only contradicts the Bible, but also catholic teaching, because idolatry is a "mortal sin" that would confine a person to hell. An ex-nun said the only purgatory that exists is the priests' pockets.

[kiwichristian2009]

Listen, we are PURGED OF OUR SINS ( not some, ALL ) by the blood of Jesus Christ. Heb1:3,Rom8:1 and John5:24. Remember "there is no more condemnation when Jesus passed over our sins and paid the ultimate penalty for us." Why didnt the apostles ever discuss purgatory? 2Cor5:8There is no mention of pur. here. In Luke16:19-31, Jesus reveals there is a great gulf between hell and paradise that ...

[kiwichristian2009]

If purgatory is true then the 'catholic' Christ didn't accomplish anything on the cross, wasted his time and died for nothing. The 'catholic' Christ should have hired a pro instead of doing the job himself. The Christ of Christianity is the Pro. He got the job on the cross done right the first time. And.....He did it for free!

Muy bien bro, muy buena explicación sobre la existencia del Purgatorio.

Dios te bendiga.

[kiwichristian2009]

Purgatory is a man-made money-making thing invented by the unbiblical rcc.Heb1:3 "When He had by Himself PURGED OUR SINS.".Rom8:1 "There is therefor now NO CONDEMNATION to them that are in Christ Jesus.". Psalms49:7 "None of them can redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him.".Dont forget Prov10:12 which never mentions purgatory. Acts4:12"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

@kiwichristian2009 See my other comments on the inaccurate KJV translation of Hb 1:3. For Rom 8:1, this does not counter Purgatory. People in Purgatory are not condemned -- they will go to Heaven. So, why did you quote Rom 8:1? Are you quoting "willy-nilly" to make it look like you have a Biblical case when in fact you don't? Why don't you answer the Bible quote discussed in the video? Answer: because you can't.

Do you pray the Our Father? "Forgive us our sins..." Why? Why not?

Maccabees 2 12:38-46. I don't think Maccabees is in Protestant Bibles, however.

[steve2746]

Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

This verse says that Jesus BY HIMSELF purged our sins. If purgatory is a truth then this verse isn't and the blood of Jesus was shed in vain. Both can't be true. By Christ alone to the glory of God alone!!!Hebrews 9:22 B- without shedding of blood is no remission.

[deliveringit]

The KJV has an imbellished translation, but the correct translation is: "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high." DR.

Or, "When He had made purification of sins" NASB.

[steve2746]

Hi deliveringit , May I ask what is your point.? The translations you quoted have the same essence as the KJ. Jesus purged our sins. Thanx for the discussion. God bless

[deliveringit]

The KJV shows the tendency of Protestants to read into the text what it does not say. The text simply does not state or imply that Jesus eliminates all sins by a singular act. The purgation of sins could (and does) involve other things such as the requirement for the sinner to repent/believe. It also entails Christ's agents on Earth administering the purgation: "Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, whose sins you retain are retained" So, why could it not also entail Purgatory?

[maputo95]

Fantastic and humble interpretetion and clear. May God bless you for sharing the Truth.

[SeptemberCatholic18]

Great explanation.

[bulyabalive]

this explanation is so confusing! I think it is better to leave the interpretation to the Bible reader instead of using Bible passages to explain religious doctrines.

[deliveringit]

"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us..." Why must we ask God to forgive us every time we pray as Our Lord commanded us? The Catholic Church has always taught there are two kinds of punishment: eternal and temporal. The sacraments of Baptism and Penance remove eternal punishment, but temporal punishment remains (for sins committed after Baptism). This must be endured for justice's sake before we enter Heaven. Either on Earth or in Purgatory as Cyprian said.

1 Cor 3 is in reference to the Judgement Seat of Christ.

[deliveringit]

Ps 88 or 89:26-32, "He shall cry out to Me: Thou art my father: my God, and the support of my salvation.And I will make him My firstborn...I will keep My mercy for him for ever: and My covenant faithful to him.And I will make his seed to endure for evermore: and his throne as the days of heaven.And if his children forsake My law, and walk not in My judgments;If they profane My justices: and keep not My commandments:I will visit their iniquities with a rod: and their sins with stripes."
