    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    Basically, people think that 2 Maccabees chapter 12 endorses the idea that you can pay money to get yourself out of purgatory. The truth is, 2 Maccabees says no such thing. That’s a misinterpretation. 2 Maccabees is not saying that money can get you out of Hell any more than Jesus is saying in...

    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    Good point! No matter how many Christian cults try to take books out of the Bible, or add books in, God will always have the ability to preserve His Truth and His Word.

    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    Come to think of it, the Pharisees believed in a resurrection. The early Christians believed in a resurrection. Where do you think they got that? Oh, 2 Maccabees talks about a resurrection.

    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    God forbid that I read the books that the early church had in their Bible. Only a Pharisee would read the books the early church read.

    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    Yes, good idea. Let’s not make wild assumptions. Apply that logic to 2 Maccabees now.

    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    Of course Matthew doesn’t. And neither does 2 Maccabees. That’s my point. Don’t rip a book out of the Bible just because somebody misinterpreted it.

    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    I’m just saying that maybe we should have the books in our Bibles that the early church had in theirs. And when we find a scripture verse that seems to be promoting the idea of buying your way out of Hell, maybe we should be careful with interpreting it correctly before ripping it out.

    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    Yea, you should. Should probably listen to the early church too.

    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    Yea, maybe I misinterpreted that. Maybe Jesus isn’t saying you can pay money to get out of Hell. Maybe we should keep Matthew. Maybe we’re also misinterpreting 2 Maccabees too. Maybe it’s not saying that money pays for sin. Maybe we just misinterpreted it. Maybe we should keep it instead of...

    So you’re asking me to ignore context of the chapter?

    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    Either way, the book of Matthew ought to be taken out of the Bible, simply because I interpreted it that way.

    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    Hell is mentioned 3 times in Matthew chapter 5. 1 Peter says there are prisons in the lower parts of the Earth. 1 + 1 = 2. Do the math.

    Why did Jesus say that you can pay money to get out of Hell?

    “Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.” -Matthew...

    Is the book of Tobit endorsing witchcraft?

    There’s a dozen or so videos on YouTube where different Bible teachers and pastors say that when Tobit said burning fish guts drives away demons, that’s witchcraft. I can link the videos if you want.

    Is the book of Tobit endorsing witchcraft?

    You know, back in 1693, they had these Salem Witch trials. Salem, Massachusetts was a town of Puritans, who were a very religious people, and witchcraft was illegal. Many people were jailed and put to death for simply being accused of witchcraft. But today, it’s legal. It’s mostly a secular...
