    Game Show

    That is interesting but rstrats version is not identical to Savant's (apart from the goats) In Savants there was a rule that "The host must always open a door to reveal a goat and never the car." But in rstrats' version the opening of a door appears to be optional since the host is said to open...

    Game Show

    Your analysis might have merit IF the host was obliged to open a curtain as part of the game. But the OP says he did it to prolong the game implying his decision to do so was optional, or at least dependent on you picking a curtain with the car behind..

    Game Show

    On the face of it, it's simple. You have a 50/50 chance of choosing the correct curtain. So why change? However the intervention of the game show host changes the psychology. You say the host opened curtain #3 so as not to end the game prematurely. But are you either mistaken or lying about...

    Purgatory

    These arguments are going nowhere so I'm going to summarise my points and then leave it. 1. I showed what the Catholic Church actually teaches about Purgatory rather than the fanciful ideas some people have - see posts #34 & #86 2. I showed these ideas are also present in Judaism, Orthodoxy...

    Purgatory

    Opinion not fact. That quote has two parts. The first part For by a single offering he has perfected for all time refers to Christ's offering being for all time. It does not need to be repeated as the offering under the Old Law (see verse 12) The second part is those who are being sanctified...

    Thank you for your personal and fallible opinion on this matter.

    Purgatory

    @Lanman87 Some scripture that you have not addressed. From post #40 6. If we are not wholly clean, holy and perfect there must be some process whereby we can be cleansed and made holy and perfect. Scripture tells us there is. In Hebrews 11 the writer describes the faith of many of those in the...

    Purgatory

    And saying you believe in something or dom't believe in something doesn't mean it's true. The point I was making was that purgatory does not come from paganism It was present is Judaism. I said: Rabbi Shammai (50 BC - AD 30), one of the two main teachers of early rabbinical Judaism, also is on...

    Purgatory

    As Josiah said the Pope could not declare Purgatory does not exist. It was dogmatically defined at the Council of Trent. CANON XXX.-If any one saith, that, after the grace of Justification has been received, to every penitent sinner the guilt is remitted, and the debt of eternal punishment is...

    How do you like your Croissants?

    I don't understand croissants. My wife like them but for me they are just a mess, flakes all over the place.

    Purgatory

    There may be similar concepts to purgatory in paganism but the Catholic understanding is firmly rooted in Judaism and scripture. The classic point on this as I’m sure you are aware in 2Macc 12:46 where Judas Maccabeus offers up prayers for the dead; "that they might be delivered from their sin"...

    Purgatory

    I agree. The story of the rich man and Lazarus has nothing to do with purgatory. Nor, imo, has Heb 9:27. But as I pointed out in post #40 In Hebrews 11 the writer describes the faith of many of those in the Old Testament, men and women, from Abel onwards. At the end he writes: "And all these...

    Purgatory

    I can't see how Heb 9:27 or the story of the rich man and Lazarus are proof that there is no purgatory. Perhaps you could explain What evidence do you have for that? Try reading post #40

    Purgatory

    And are you going to share that evidence with us? Or again, do we just have to take your word for it?

    When you think of stairs

    I tend to think of stairs going up. Perhaps that is because I see more of them. Or is there some deep psychological reason?.

    Well if you are going to ignore all I have posted I will leave you in denial of scripture., Have a nice day.

    And do you have any evidence for all your claims? Or are we supposed to take our word for it.?
