    Indulgence

    The reader infers the writer may imply Catholic teaching is quite explicit that the temporal punishments due for sins are temporal not eternal and often earthly not purgatorial though some are purgatorial. They appear to be self-imposed or imposed by other human beings and have to do with...

    I can't because the holy scriptures are not Protestant they are, in every word, Catholic. :)

    Indulgence

    "Covered in Jesus Righteousness" is Lutheran religious language, isn't it. The snow covered dung thing? The holy scriptures say that the Church* is clothed in white which is the righteous works of the saints (Revelation 19:8)

    Is the Christian Epistemology Circular?

    Seems that going with goodness and why it matters may work better, Ackbach.

    What are you eating?

    I has some chicken and chips, home cooked, the chicken was a schnitzel the chips were frozen, I baked them both in my oven. Tasted rather nice. Made me feel better too. Maybe chicken really does cure colds :)

    Indulgence

    Punished by family in the case of adultery. Punished by one's conscience too for many. Punished by the civil authority in the case of murder. I explained this before. Why is it so hard to grasp? The principle is expressed in holy scripture thus Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh...

    Indulgence

    Ask the man or woman who cheated on their spouse if that sin went unpunished even after God forgave it. Ask the criminal in prison if they are not being punished for their sin even though the Lord forgave it. You surely know that both will tell you that they are being or were punished for their...

    Temporal punishments are mostly inherent in the sin. The Church does not impose them as much as recognise that they are the consequence of sin.

    Indulgence

    Believers go to prison when they commit crime, some are executed for their crimes. Why are your posts so consistently denying what we all know is true. There are consequences for sin. Some are civil, some are matters of conscience, some impact mental health, some break relationships. One can be...

    Indulgence

    You've seen that the CCC and Code of Canon Law says and that neither says that forgiveness or pardon for sins is given with an indulgence. The pardon is for the temporal punishments due. Not for guilt or for the forgiveness of sins.

    Indulgence

    Yes, it is like John McArthur versus Charismatics. He hates Charismatic teaching and is not not very fond of Charismatic teachers so his attacks against them are a mixture of bizarre falsehoods and misrepresented facts with some truth too. Martin Luther may have been right to complain about John...

    The unwritten mysteries of the church.

    It is a mystery but the word mystery does not mean something incomprehensible. Mystery means a secret revealed by God - a holy secret that is revealed by God to the faithful. Explaining what God reveals is sometimes easy and sometimes too hard for people to manage. The incarnation is a mystery...

    Some modern evangelical teachers say things that are untrue. They ought to check the facts before making accusations but it appears that they do not.

    Indulgence

    The Catholic Church* does not now and never has taught that one's future sins are forgiven by means of an indulgence. That's part of Protestant revolt and Puritan revolution anti-catholic propaganda.

    Is the Christian Epistemology Circular?

    Since your conversation is presumably with one who is not a Christian your starting point is to assume the truth of Christianity and he/she will not be very interested in God telling you "It's all true" since God hasn't told them that (hence their non-Christian status). If you attempt to...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 2

    Just finished watching Avatar. I think it may have been a director's cut. It included more than was shown on TV a few years back.
