It is both a simple and complex issue -go to purgatory you should be in glee, fore you know you go to heaven. There also 2nd Maccabees. Purgatory is also a grace of Christ -prior to Christ those good & those gritty had no where to go.
This is False. Im sorry to be harsh but Mr. Lawrence D. Clark didn't reference ANYTHING in the Bible that relates to purgatory. For if there is a place called PURGATORY I would say we have a strong case to believe that my Lord and Saviour Died on the Cross in Vain. Since these to points do not coincide I am left to believe that when Jesus on the Cross said 'IT IS FINISHED' - John 19:30 he knew what he was talking about. Please let us get our Theology RIGHT! God bless
@EmmanuelAnthony - you misunderstand what "Purgatory" is. IF nothing imperfect may enter Heaven and you don't believe in "Purgatory" - where are you going to go?
The New Testament is the oldest account of earliest Christian beliefs and practices - especially those who new and experienced Christ in human form. Is purgatory mentioned in the New Testament (agreed by both Catholics and Protestants)?
Catholic's seem to think cerimonial things r what gets rid of sin I don't know any Catholics that are even serious i know people that say they r Catholic and dont realy believe in God it seems like it's all in the image and even cut other people down for not belonging to a church,im not cutting anybody down but ive been to Catholic churches and there r alot of judgemental people that think by obeying the law and paying taxes and fitting in is what lifes all about
Puragory does not exist. It is no where in the Bible. The Bible is like a Pizza, and it comes with its own toppings. Catholics like to pick off the toppings they don't like, and add their own. Catholics lie on God, and God hates them. Priests rape children.
@LoisLWright - considering Catholics gave the world the Bible, that's a rather strong statement and indeed a rather sad relection on the dumbed down nature of modern society. Please tell me, where in the body of the Bible, is Bible itself mentioned and where can I find a reference to the Trinity?
there is no such thing as purgatory exept the movie, Jesus paid all the price must not think you have to work for heaven, heaven is a free gift from God through Jesus eph 2 8-9
@blessedwithoutmeasur No one can enter Heaven "unclean". So can you say that you've NEVER committed one sin in your whole life?? Cuz if you did, you have to be purified from that sin before you can enter Heaven. Wake up, THERE IS A PURGATORY. I'm warning you & praying for you that unless you help them, your going to be suffering there for a long time. The bible tells us to pray for the dead (2 Machabees 12:46). But I'm not saying that I'm perfect either. I need to be purified too. God Bless!
@MrRocha90 hi there, I would never say I haven't sinned, 1john says if we say we haven't sinned the truth is not in us, no I am a born again christian Jesus dwels in me , the bible says you must be born from above, John 3:3-16, roman 10 9-10 once Jesus comes in you are made rightous through the Blood Jesus went in once into the Holy place forever prefected us it says in heb 10 , a good readhe says in 2 cor 517 your anew creation old thing pass away behold all things are new, no purgatory!!!
@blessedwithoutmeasur --But yet, even though you are saved, you are still a sinner; since God does not allow sinners into heaven, where would you expect to be "purged" of you sinful nature so to make you suitable for heaven?
@WayOfTheMaster454 like I said there are bible verses that prove that he has already did the work even in 1 john 1:9 he cleanes us from All unrightousness, and others like 2cor 5: 17 we are made rightous through what Jesus did not what we do ,you can't make yourselve rightous, oly God can do that through beliving that Jeus died and rose again for you, he loves you He paid the price ,no one comes to the father exept through Jesus, there is no place like purgatory, Jesus did the work!!!!
@blessedwithoutmeasur --No man dies immaculate, so God continues the slavation process for the elect in Purg. And dont worry, the fire in Purg is "the fire of Gods love". See ya there!!!
@WayOfTheMaster454 won't be in purg, Jesus said it is Finished!!! when he went to the cross, Jesus went in once to ever perfect them that are already santified, heb 1012then the verve before he sat down his work was finished, read the 10th chapter of hebew, heb 924-28< God Bless U
No. Atheists claiming that there isn't a God is wrong. Adam and Eve sinned, and so, because of that, since they were the first human beings, we are all sinners. Christ died so that we can be forgiven, and He was RESURRECTED!!!! I personally don't believe in purgatory. You either go to Heaven or Hell; Christ loved us enough to provide a way to Heaven. God bless.
I am impressed in the Christian spirit of Love present in this video. We as Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestants have some differences, and at times some decent sized ones. Yet that does not in the least mean we can not explore our mutual faith in Christ the Lord toghether and find the answers to such differences in the Holy Scriptures and beliefs of the Early Church.
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.”
If your forgiven from the sin, there is no "taint of sin". Jesus didn't say, your forgiven from all sin but a little bit. No, he died for ALL sin, even your little "taint of sin"
@agent12803 LOL... how about we both fall off our various towers have both our brains checked and then when we finally get the fog out you and I can head to church and then throw the football around or play some MW2 after! :P
@agent12803 If he is then the love he shows is very good visual, mental, physical and spiritual deception. I on the other hand don't believe it is and I hope one day you feel the same love I feel :) Have a wonderful day!
love is love. god is god. love is a real emotion. god is a nonexistant, angry, and blood-thirsty tyrant who likes to enjoy the smell of burnt sheep. jesus showed love, accoring to the bible. but his dad yahweh is constantly mad with rage.
DANTE IS NOT THEOLOGY.
