1. YHWH being righteous cannot stand sin, therefore it makes no
difference whether you have a venial or temporal sin, you are still
a sinner.
In other words your tryin to imply that we don't follow the
Pualine verese "For, the wages of sin is death"
You know when you read something you should read it
entirely. If you notice the article also states
this:
On the other hand whosoever comes into God's presence must be
perfectly pure for in the strictest sense His "eyes are too pure,
to behold evil" (Habakkuk 1:13). For unrepented venial faults for
the payment of temporal punishment due to sin at time of death, the
Church has always taught the doctrine of purgatory.
This includes all sins not just major sins as you hav
implied.
2. The work of Yeshua on the cross is that we have our sins
forgiven once and for all and that we put on Yeshua's righteousness
so that when YHWH sees us, He does not see sin but righteousness.
Yeshua came to pay for our sins once and for all. There cannot be
any sin that is not wholly paid for as Yeshua has already paid for
it.
The question is not whether Christ paid for some for sins. Its
is whether we have repented of every single one of
them Dont tell me you acept salvation without
repentence?
3. The whole doctrine rests on a supposition and is not a
certainty, therefore, how can you be sure that it is correct? To
find out the truth about our situation in relation to salvation and
the forgiveness of sins, please read your bible and what YHWH and
Yeshua have to say about it. The one supporting quote taken from 1
Corinthians for the support of this doctrine is not even support
for this at all and I believe that it has been twisted and
misconstrued by the RC church and her scholars. The OT proof for
purgatory given by the RC church is in the book of macabees which
is not recognised by mainstream protestant churches.
Mainstream churchs
What gives them the
right to decide what is in the Bible and what is it not?
There is also Scriputre reference to the Gospel of Matthew.And you
forget something, its not only the RC when you talk about the
Catholic Church. The Eastern Rite Catholics also believe in
purgatory so it cannot be an invention of the RC as you imply.
Furthermore you say we are the ones who misconstrue, is it possible
your interprentation is misconstrued? And its not only the Catholic
Church, the Orthodox Church also believes in purgatory.
4. By saying that you need purgatory, you are saying that Yeshua's
work on the cross is not enough to give you full access into your
salvation and that you must "work" some more. This then makes YHWH
and Yeshua liars which we know that they are not, so therefore the
conclusion here is that purgatory is heresy, it undermines the
whole message of Yeshua.
This why I said, some people still don't know what purgatory is.
In purgatory you cannot do anything.Its God who
purges the soul until it has repneted of all sins and is fit to
enter into His holy presence.
5. The doctrine is in itself flawed because it supposes that we
though our own works on earth can earn "brownie points" for our
salvation and entry into eternal happiness, and that should someone
not earn enough points here on earth, he can continue to undertake
this task in purgatory. This again is contradictory to Yeshua's
teaching and it makes Yeshua's sacrifice on the cross of no effect
because it does not have the fullness of the forgiveness of sins
that is promised by YHWH and Yeshua.
Your repeating yourself,without Christ's sacrifice on
the Cross, no one would even be able to enter
purgatory.
6. The doctrine here namely relates to temporal sins which are not
paid for, then I ask the question, why then when Yeshua was hanging
on the cross with a robber to his right and left did He say to one
of them truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise?
if this is taken in its proper context, the robber who supposed
still had some sin left and not paid for would be with Yeshua in
paradise, that very day, it does not speak about today you will go
to purgatory and then after a while you will be with me in
paradise, it says TODAY you WILL be with me in paradise.
Luke 23:43
And Jesus said to him, Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be
with Me in Paradise. :
The reason being the robber recognised Christ as the his saviour
and recoginized he still was a sinner with sins unrepented
for By doing so he repeneted for all his sins the moment
he said "Lord remember me when..."
Souls who have repented fully of all sins will go to hevean
straight. There are some souls(few) who have managed to be truly
sorry for every single sin and repented because of
that they do not need to enter purgatory.
