@1Hope4All So, let's make something clear for EVERYONE that Protestants keep arguing, they say purgatory is a second chance, which is belittling Jesus' death on cross. But isn't it true that in the Catholic belief that Him dying on the cross is also what cleanses and forgives the sins of those who are in purgatory?

Amen

@YouHaveBeauty: Confessing our sins to a Priest; Jn 20:22-23 And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”
We have to tell our sins to a priest so they know which sins are to be withheld from forgiveness. I have never gone to Confession to a Priest where he withheld forgiveness. But Priests have done that before.

@YouHaveBeauty, confessing our sins; Jas 5:16 "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."

@YouHaveBeauty, please see 1 John 5:16-17 for mortal and venial sins. They are not labeled exactly as such. But sin which leads to death is MORTAL sin and sin which does not lead to death is VENIAL sin.
Peace & Love in Christ

@YouHaveBeauty, A venial sin is a sin that will not send us straight to hell. A venial sin is not a grave or mortal sin. There are sins which are not deadly sins. Those smaller sins do not completely separate us from God but they do have consequences in the end if we do not repent or if we are not fully aware or just forget. Those lesser sins can be purged clean in Purgatory. And Purgatory is only because of God's mercy as Jesus died on the cross for us.

@YouHaveBeauty, EVERY SIN is wiped clean by the death of Jesus on the cross! We just have to accept the graces that come from the blood of Jesus to wipe all our sins away. If you commit a grave (mortal) sin, such as fornication and you do not repent from it, that does not automatically get wiped from His blood. We have to be truly sorry and confess our sins just as Jesus asked us to "confess your sins to one another" and pray for each other. If we are not sorry, we do not get forgiven.

@1Hope4All Can you please tell me the concept of venial sins? How come Jesus' death on the cross doesn't wash that away? And also, how can you skip purgatory, since no one is perfect, how would they remove that temporal punishment?



May God Bless the world and all the souls. I BELIEVE!!!
