Before one comes out with a claim, do u know how long he would be thinking of d idea. Get ur facts right. He was entitled to a bible and when he could take it no more, he posted his argument on d door of d church so that scholars could come and argue. The king warned him but he refused to put his ideas down. He was later excommunicated from d church. And he took off with a nun to go and Bleep her. lol.

And I don't have a religion.
What ideas were there? You make it seem like a man marrying is a sin. A posted the reason celibacy is Catholicism, you pretended not to see it

He simply quoted Scriptures to prove that all sins are not equal, did you disprove any of them?
do you even believe the bible?

To tell you the truth, i read the Bible. Am serious. It took me a very long time to trust any Pastor. My Bible is still my religion.
I may not come to this new thread if all we do is argue. I don't see it as argument, Its a discussion.
Am fagged out already.

purgatory is gotten from the latin word purgare which means to purge or to cleanse.
It is the purification kept for souls who die in God's grace and friendship of God but still have some imperfection in them. In order that such souls may acquire the unblemished perfection required to enter heaven. To further understand purgatory to the fullest, we have to note and agree with 3basic facts. nothing defiled shall enter heaven All sins are not equal. Finally we need to comprehend why people opppse the idea that purgatory exists. In my next posts i will butress on those 3 points individually. And chill, I'll make references to the bible too, just so you dont conclude am making up things or delusional. See you on my next post!
I am afraid the idea is born entirely of fairy tales as all the purging that is necessary in order to prepare oneself for the final judgment to come, and this for those who are born-again takes place here in this life before death. All those who are born-again and hence have eternal life as a result, sleep in their graves until the time of the resurrection and eventual judgment of the goats and sheep in the Kingdom of God. undecided

■ They always say in James 2:10-11 where saint james says ... Well they literally interpreting this verses to mean that all sins are equal. Let us now examine what he really meat to say whosoever shall keep the whole law,but offend one point is become guilty of all". let us not interpret this passage out of context. He only meant to warn against selective obiedience of the commandments. If all inequities where equal then God should punish all sinners equally, this will make God a liar then because Jesus said in Romans 2:6 and 2corinthians 5:10 that God will pay every man according to his deeds.
■ You may wonder what equality of sin has to do with purgatory. So many things infact! Those who oppose purgatory know that of they admit that all sins are not equal then they must accept that all punishments are also not equal. They will be faced with the plain fact that states that "different degrees of sins imply different degrees of punishment. and they Will be left with the inevitable consequence as to believe in the reality of purgatory. Well.. I hope to come back and continue. Click thr follow button if you want to get back where i left off.
1. But Jesus Christ did not say anything in Romans 2 vs 6 and 2 Corinthians 5 vs 10. Rather, Paul recorded his own views in those letters which you quote from. As for what Paul wrote in those cases, well, he simply reechoed the teaching of Jesus Christ found in Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 where Jesus Christ explained that all of the unrighteous will be judged the same whereas all the righteous will also be judged the same. undecided

2. What Jesus Christ said will in fact be judged is righteousness vs unrighteousness meaning it does not matter the details of one's sins or whether you think all sins are equal or not equal. God is only concerned with whether one meets up with His standard of righteousness or not. And the righteous are first holy — no longer slaves to sin— before then becoming approved righteous by God. So, this discourse of yours is clearly an unnecessary conversation for anyone who in fact knows God to have at all.

The purgatory stuff is d dumbest stuff I have ever heard. In some catholic text, it is even written that most fauthfuls and some saints would go to purgatory. They claim it is an outreach of God's mercy but rather it makes catholicism look more stupid and unrealistic.

what have you people turned my thread into?? for no reason i was banned for 24hours from posting in religious section! wow! big kudos to the spam bot .

hopefully tomorrow morning,i am continuing my purgatory talk . i urge you to reason the facts with me as am going to be very factual and reference the bible .
@valentinemary and @analice107 please this thread was created for reference and enlightenment. i urge you all to please maintain decorum here.
I've been patiently reading your post about purgatory. There is a scripture I want you to factor in when you continue your talk.

Rev 20:15:
"And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."


1. If a person's name is NOT found written in the book of life (Register of the Children of God) , can he enter paradise after he has spent some time in paradise?
2. If we are saved by Grace through Faith , does purgatory NOT negate the finished work of Christ?
Eph 2:8-9:
"For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

■ Funny man. Root of Christianity in Catholicism. Did your Pope tell you that Christ was Catholic too? But of course he did, and you believed him, and why not, you believe Apostle Peter was a Catholic Pope why wont you believe Christ was Catholic. Smh Just imagine what we all believed until some of us started reading the Bible for ourselves. Dude, High jacking another persons property will never make it yours, shout, scream, cry about it, the truth cant be suppresses for too long. The Catholic religion High jacking Christianity can never make Christianity Catholic. The Catholic Religion compiled the Bible, now makes Catholicism the originators of Christianity? with all the blatant disobedience to the very Word God you still say Christianity has its Origin in Catholicism?
Guy, try being human for once and pick your Bible, O wait!!!!, you don't have a Bible. Maybe you should borrow a Bible and read Apst Paul's Epistles and see where Christianity was concentrated long before the Papacy.

■ Sir i do not claim to know too much. wont it be nice if you can refute my questions with points?
Yes, i read "The Great Controversy" written by an adventist, but am not an Adventist. If what Ellen White wrote are lies, bring up your rebuttal. we know that lies sell, but the truth prevails at last. If the Catholic Religion didn't do even worst of what she is accused of doing, then lets talk.
I love History so i read, i wont object reading whatever you feel its the truth. Please post me links, recommend Books and i will read. Thank you.
The Catholic church happens to be your mother church, the foundation upon which even your movement is built on. If the Catholic church is sinking sand to you what makes you think your church is on different ground? undecided

■ You see dear one, you don't ask questions, you ponificate and condemn. That's how your posts come out, because I have tried to engage you before. If you need a discuss, then let there be a discuss. With respect to "The great Controversy", hope you know you're with the mark of the beast if you don't observe the sabbath. How then do you see yourself as saved and the Catholics condemned? I will surely recommend books and links for any question you sincerely ask, that i cannot give you a simple answer here.

Well am picking off where i left, hopefully I'll update a little more today. Depends on how much time i have. So the deal is, if we can find a common ground that all sins are not equal you'll have to agree wit me that all punishments can also not be equal. Remember all references are from the bible.Matthew 5:22 ,Matthew 12:31-32 Luke 12:47-48 Well last example John: 19. 11. "Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin." Take note of Greater sin.
God judges on the basis of whether one is righteous or not — irrespective of the actual sins(or total weight of each sin) committed. undecided

■ Have seen so many seperated Christians begin their arguments with the bolded but ask them if they were baptized in the Catholic Church and which catechism classes and for how long they attended these classes and you will find just how far away from catholism they were while been (in their own words) "Catholics".
Why do you require these classes if Jesus Christ is indeed what you want? undecided

■ My brother, [s]baptism and Catechism classes aren't enough really[/s]. Even some who got these, While baptism doesn't imbue knowledge; but claims you for Christ, [s]catechism as presently practiced is likened to milk[/s] (1cor3:2), time comes when the catholic needs solid food and that's what they didn't wait to get, the solid food cooked in the one Holy Church, the Pillar and ground of truth 1 Tim 3:15. This, they should have made effort to get.
So, all these foods, you get from the mouth of men, when then will you get anything from God Himself who stated that He alone is teacher over those who belong to Him? undecided

what does that have to do with anything? Are you trying to argue that anyone who wants Christs does not need to be taught anything? If that's the the case you pick your fight with Christ himself who demands that his teaching be taught through out the ends of the earth.

According to Jesus Christ, once you are born-again and become a part of His fold, you should no longer have any other teachers or masters besides Him. Is it that you are not born-again or you don't believe the words of Jesus Christ? undecided

I have no fights with Jesus Christ in this as I accept His teachings and commandments as is. undecided

Hey, i did Catechism, as young as i was, the Seminarian who took us wanted to have sex with me. At that tender age.
Guy, Lets not go into this okay?
So sorry that's your experience. There are so many who experienced the same in schools but that does not make schools in general useless or bad. They are still very much a good thing.
