    Purgatory

    You are right not to see purgatory as an issue about salvation because only the saved endure purgatory and only the saved need it if they still are inclined towards sins when their earthly life is at an end. Purgatory is about the transition from earthly living with all its tendencies towards...

    Purgatory

    No pope that I have knowledge of believes or ever believed that a valid indulgence can be granted online. Every indulgence requires First, that the sinner has repented of sins and made confession of sins for which confession is needed Second, be in a state of grace before God having been...

    Purgatory

    It is believed that some people (specifically the canonised saints) have purged their sins before they die so their 'purgatory' is here on earth. Everybody purges - to some degree - their sins here on earth but not everybody has abandoned all the habits and moral flaws that lead to sins so when...

    Salvation

    Your claim is a mistake, Galatians chapter six is about salvation. It is about what Christ did for the faithful and what the faithful are to do for one another and for those seeking life. Bear One Another’s Burdens 6:1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual...

    (No Debate) My pentecostal friends say ...

    It is a very different thing to be told "your church doesn't teach the fullness of the gospel" and being told "your church and you yourself are not even really Christian" isn't it. The former is heard all the time in one form or another both in face to face contact and on online forums while the...

    Grace

    You quote from a fictional tale all you like. It only goes to show how far from gospel grace your posts have become.

    Salvation

    I told it to you because your posts are the ones making false claims about salvation. The scripture says God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the...

    Salvation

    Play games with holy scripture and all that is achieved is one's own loss of truth and hope. The fact is that God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the...

    Grace

    It seems like you place a great deal of emphasis on the alleged statement of saint Thomas. Have you verified from primary sources that saint Thomas ever said or wrote such words?

    Salvation

    God decided to make salvation depend on what people do rather than on what is merely said or what people "believe without works". Galatians 6: 7 Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. 8 If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if...

    A temple

    That is what the Apostle wrote in the passages quoted from his letters. Saint Paul was merely echoing the blessed truth expressed by the Lord while he walked the earth and trained the twelve.

    From The Catechism of the Council of Trent I put the numbers in the sections when I created the file for use in a bible-bot that I wrote for use on IRC. I did the work on that in 2003. 681 The Beatific Vision 682 For the blessed always see God present and by this greatest and most exalted of...

    My 1994 copy of the CCC has those quotes. I haven't checked the Catechism of the council of Trent for theosis (beatific vision) but I could if you like.

    Grace

    From The Catechism of the Catholic Church we have these things "In that sin man preferred himself to God and by that very act scorned him. He chose himself over and against God, against the requirements of his creaturely status and therefore against his own good. Constituted in a state of...

    Grace

    Theosis is a Greek word in the Latin speaking west the concept was expressed as "the beatific vision" which is both to see God as he truly is and to be made like Christ's humanity in his resurrection; that is to say to be as much like God as a creature can be, to share the Divine Nature in as...

    1Co 3:10-17 According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 But if...

    White people are not the only ones who have altered Jesus' appearance to fit their own. Chinese people did it too and Africans too.
