Not one canonical scripture is given to support this manmade theory and doctrine. Only RC traditions and non canonical writings and mere men's opinions. Paul tells us that Christ suffered "once, at the full end of the ages, for putting away of sin through his sacrifice, he hath been manifested;" Heb 9:26. Sin is sin. There is no such thing as venial sins as separate from other sins. This is just another RC invention created for confusion. Once sin is confessed and repented of, it is forgiven and he "remembers it no more." Paul further teaches that "Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin." Heb 10:18. So if Jesus remits the the sins of those who have properly confessed and repented of their sin, it is done and as the above scripture confirms "there is no more offering for sin." And certainly not by man paying it off himself in the the fires of purgatory. Man cannot pay for nor redeem his own sin. Only Jesus can do that. Therefor this doctrine is totally flawed and bankrupt and will condemn the believer in it to reap what he believes. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" Heb 9:27. There is no second chance after death to burn off one's sins. Death is final, and after death man faces judgement. Believers at the judgement seat of Christ and unbelievers at the great white throne judgement. "By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." Heb 10:10. Once for all means Christ died once for all and through His death we are sanctified. It does not mean that a second time in the fires of purgatory is necessary to be sanctified. This again is confirmed by "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” Heb 10:12-14. Do you see that? "he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever" which includes all sins and He has perfected us forever who are sanctified. Paul wanted to be very clear about this and concludes "And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." Heb 10:17. There is no wiggle room anywhere in these scriptures for an in between purgatory.<br />RC doctrine is like US statutes and codes, starting with truth but leading you into all fiction and made to thoroughly confuse you so you end up lost, convicted, broke and in jail which in this case is their purgatory which is nothing more than hell itself.<br />Jesus never preached purgatory. He only preached heaven and hell. Anything else is mere man's invention.1FreeManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418314871405082584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621915200928222891.post-51179839816173807372018-04-18T22:04:49.994-06:002018-04-18T22:04:49.994-06:00Not quite what the Church teaches 1Freeman.

My father ...Sorry, Michael, been there, done that. My father had studied to be a Jesuit priest and I had to study hard to tell him why I left the RC church. All you are going by is a feeling of tradition, not by the truth of the word of God. RC does not believe you need to be born again and claims that salvation is in the RC church. This is not scriptural even according to RC versions of scripture. Just read John 3:3 and 3:5. These are Jesus very own words. You could be the best RC in the world and still RC doctrine condemns every RC to purgatory. To burn off your sins, they say. This is nothing other than hell itself. There is not one single verse that supports purgatory. It does not exist. There is only heaven or hell. There is no in between. If you claim that you believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins then why would you have to pay for them yourself in purgatory? This is the same as saying that the price Jesus paid was not enough. That is a slap in His face. And if they lie about this, then what else will they lie about? Do yourself a favor and read the 95 thesis Martin Luther nailed to door of the Wittenburg Chapel for open discussion of the differences between RC doctrine and scriptural truths. These differences have not changed over all these years since RC will not bow to scripture. When I discovered the disagreement between the two, I had to make a choice which was of greater eternal value, RC dogma or scriptural truth. I chose scriptural truth. Let God be true and every man a liar. That was 40 years ago and their is not one day of regret or look back whatsoever. I embraced Jesus Christ and His truth and turned my back on man made religion. Now I am truly catholic, which means universal, but no longer subject to Rome.1FreeManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418314871405082584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621915200928222891.post-58503528806742378182018-04-18T19:56:37.449-06:002018-04-18T19:56:37.449-06:00Hey freeman Please take a little time and watch th...Hey freeman Please take a little time and watch this video.

And Abby, let me elaborate o...doonstr, I hear that! And Abby, let me elaborate on the point I was trying to make. First, I understand that Anna is Christian, and this site of Paul's contains in depth Christian teachings applicable to the season, and the founding fathers of the country were Christian. The context at the time the country was established, which insured freedom of religion, and all Men being equal, was Christian, 'white' and male. The struggle for equal rights for women and people of color is ongoing. The labeling of all other religions and spiritual ways as 'false' and 'pagan' was economically and territorially convenient, and still is, in regards to appropriation of resources. Convert or die has been a very convincing argument. Every group has it's bad actors, as Anna exemplified by explaining the infiltration of the Church by the black lodges. Likewise, there are kind and loving people in all walks of life who practice the teachings of Jesus, without, perhaps, even having heard of Him. Each of us views life through the color of our life experience. I doubt if there's anyone without a 'mote' or two. I'm here on this site because the great barrier reef is dying, species are vanishing every day, much of the available food is toxic, I have to buy water, and if I want to walk in the forest I grew up in, I have to get a permit! This land, this Turtle Island, that I love, is being decimated, someone is responsible, and I'd like to see them unhorsed from that position and be held accountable. They're threatening my grandchildren. That's pretty basic. Love God, love Life, love your kids .. keep 'em safe. Anna has a big piece of work here and she needs help. It's going to take all kinds of strong, brave allies who are willing to stand up for their own freedom. They may not be Christian. They may want to engage in discussion with others who have been aware of what's going on longer. The Native tribes are intimately involved in this work, as you heard in Anna's video. Not all of them are Christians. You are obviously strong in your Faith and I respect that. Your rightness does not necessarily make me wrong. My relationship with God is really my own business, and I'd like to be able to glean teaching from the exchanges here without having to get my Bible out or feel that my immortal soul endangered.Mae Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759721210963560461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621915200928222891.post-13753781467012613812018-04-17T22:48:20.216-06:002018-04-17T22:48:20.216-06:00It occurs to me that there are a lot of teachers a...It occurs to me that there are a lot of teachers and no students.

Is it because you like to think I do, or is that your way of dissing the bible verses which you seem to disdain, and hope we shut up about them? <br />Buddhism and Hinduism are both false religions and I see no place where God tells us to 'encourage' them or anyone else. His Word is meant to bring everyone to repentance, and background or ethnicity are of no consideration. ''For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God''. (as for me, mine are all in the past tense, including all the motes and splinters.)Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410400617288497764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621915200928222891.post-88557206881942162182018-04-17T01:05:28.785-06:002018-04-17T01:05:28.785-06:00Wasn't there something about casting first the...Wasn't there something about casting first the mote out of thine own eye?

Not to some disciples, but to all. Hey, you are not fighting me but Jesus Himself who, when He ascended, gave gifts unto men. That includes you. Or are you the girl who on Christmas morning looks under the tree and says "These gifts I like but this one I don't! You can it back! I see no use for it!" Yet your Father knows you have need of it. I knew I had been baptized by the Holy Ghost when I had a physical experience of Him washing over me and filling me to the uttermost to the point of almost choking. They say the difference between being filled with the Holy Spirit and being baptized in the Holy Spirit is like a cup and a pitcher. Being filled is like you are the cup being filled by the water from the pitcher. But being baptized is like you as the cup being dunked under in the water inside the pitcher. When this happened to me I did not realize I needed to open my mouth and start speaking though the physical urge was there. This is what the disciples did "and they began to speak with other tongues" Because of years of sacred cows and wrong teaching, my flesh was fighting it and it wasn't until years later and after killing some other sacred cows did I realize that I had already received the gift of tongues if I would only just start exercising it. BTW: this has nothing to do with salvation but has everything to do with walking in the fullness of the Spirit. It is not the evidence of salvation but of your baptism in the Holy Spirit. It is part of the enduement with power from on high to invoke Jesus name to cast out devils, speak with new tongues, pick up serpents, receive protection from poisonous drink and to be able to to lay hands on the sick and they will recover as Jesus perfectly commissioned us to do in Mark 16:17-18. O yes, there is much counterfeit tongues and other so called works going on, but as a true believer you cannot ever use that as an excuse not to be obedient yourself. They are not your servants and you are His servant if you indeed claim that you are. If I did not believe that I was communicating directly with God through surrendering my mouth for His Spirit to operate and pray the perfect prayer as Paul calls it, I certainly would not do it. Now I could be callous and say "O well, your loss.", but if you are my sister in Christ, then I cannot let this go without offering to properly disciple you. Spiritual gifts need to be exercised for you to be able to operate in them and be effective unless they are special gifts which require no exercise at all. But these are rare and few and something you do not need faith for to operate. Any and all of the given gifts are for all to exercise by faith and you can only operate them in the exact proportion in which you exercise them. If you deny them, they will simply not manifest in you. But that does not mean that they are no good and should be spoken against simply because you do not understand them and refuse to renew your mind and the spirit of your mind. We will already have to eat many of our own words before Jesus. Let this not be one of them. 1FreeManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418314871405082584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621915200928222891.post-33582877258814524052018-04-16T16:30:52.432-06:002018-04-16T16:30:52.432-06:001Freeman, in 1 Cor 12, tongues is the least of the...1Freeman, in 1 Cor 12, tongues is the least of the gifts. In chapter 14 v 14 for if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful<br />v. 15 what is it then? I will pray with the spirit And I will pray with Understanding ALSO<br />16 Else, when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at they giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth NOT what thou sayeth?<br />Ch. 12 also tells us that all of the gifts are given by God as He sees fit. I have seen too many folks be pressured by <br />christians and forcing them to think ''they have to speak in tongues, or they aren't saved, if they don't'. They are misleading people to believe that tongues is the evidence of their being saved........that is surely not true. <br />I've seen way too many 'being taught how to speak in tongues, by other people'. And THAT is why we have so much of this counterfeit 'speaking in tongues' which is nothing more than babble, and God has nothing to do with. <br />Gifts of the Spirit (of God) cannot be taught, but are Gifts given by God.

One will know when to throw such books into a bonn fire, as soon as you see their opinions are contrary to the Bible.<br />In actuality, the words ''luciferian and utopia' are oxymorons; lucifer being an evil one, immediately indicates they cannot create any such thing as utopia.<br /> <br /> All the questions you seem to present here, are all answered right in scripture; mostly right in the book of Revelation.<br />It tells us clearly there is coming a literal Kingdom of God, and it will be a flesh-type kingdom with living people, along with the saints of God who will have bodies of the same type that Jesus has.<br />Millennial has always meant 1000; nowhere is it referred to as a 'generation'.<br />I might add, that everyone I've ever met who is greatly confused about the bible, are those who have read LOTS of books about it.

What we are to confess is our SIN, in order to be saved; not 'confessing Jesus'. <br /> What none of the so called 'churches' want to talk about is Repentance. Repentance of one's SIN. <br />2 Cor.7:10 for godly sorrow (over ones own sinfulness) worketh Repentance (in one's heart) TO Salvation.<br /><br />That is the basic recipe for one to obtain salvation; this popular 'just confess that Jesus is Lord' can be said very insincerely, very glibly, and just to please others - - but will be meaningless.<br /> However, when there is sincere repentance, with a true regret for having done all the sinfulness, then that is what causes the Holy Spirit to enter into a person, and CONVERT them. Conversion = born again. And the bible says ''except a man be Born Again, he cannot (will not) see the kingdom of God''.<br />In other words, Salvation requires one to be totally CHANGED by God. There is no Salvation by God doing a favor and deciding to just let anyone ''in'' out of the goodness of His Heart. <br />The reason for this is that in the Kingdom God orders that ''we must all be in ONE ACCORD''. We all are taught by the one same Holy Spirit of the one true God, and therefore all speak the same thing, and have the one same Mind of Christ which has been given to all of those who are in the Kingdom.<br /> We may not all be at the same speed of understanding, and we still maintain a good deal of individuality; we are not all carbon copies being identical or robotic. It takes all kinds, and we each have our various missions.<br /><br /> I might add, that Jesus did not die for people to live in their sins; he died for Repented sin, and then mandates that we cease sinning, and go and sin no more. <br />Far too many think they are free to sin all they want to, because they have been misled and lied to, being told Jesus died for all sins. The bible clearly says ''he that sinneth, is not of God''.<br /><br />The blood of Christ is what cleanses us of all unrighteousness, upon our Repentance. But just as a mother gives her young child a bath and puts all clean clothes on them. If they go out and get those clean clothes dirty, Mother will admonish the child, and brush the dirt off.<br /> But if that child turns right around and goes out and gets dirty again, after being admonished already, then he is going to get a good spanking.<br />And God will do the same thing. Count on it.......if anyone thinks they can keep on sinning.<br />(continuing in sin, rejecting correction repeatedly, leads to being turned over to a reprobate mind. I can name you a few pastors this has happened to.)<br />Scripture says ''for My Spirit will not always strife with a man''.

If they have agreed that only the Father knows the day and the hour than so be it. Who are we to question? I too am an adopted son of God according to the power that He gave us to become sons of God. But I don't know the day nor the hour of my own time to go to be with Him. I pray that you will choose to become a son of God too.<br />But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12 1FreeManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418314871405082584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621915200928222891.post-18764637296668652682018-04-12T14:35:38.095-06:002018-04-12T14:35:38.095-06:00Hey blue, sorry for my delayed reaction. Had some...Hey blue, sorry for my delayed reaction. Had some distractions to take care of. Oh yes, it most certainly does say that He comes twice. He first came as a sacrificial lamb (Isaiah 53) and He will return as the lion of the tribe of Judah (Rev 5:5). Yes, Jesus paid the price for all sin by dying on the cross and shedding His blood which is the only biblical atonement for sin in both testaments. But since God will not go against your free will, it is up to you to accept his sacrifice for your sins. He will not force your hand because it has to be your freewill choice. He came to fulfill the 10 commandments which He did. Look, there is no forgiveness of sin w/o the shedding of blood. In the OT is was done with animals, in the NT Jesus became the sacrificial lamb to be slain once and for all. With this He took the sins of the world upon himself and paid for them in full. But one must apply the payment and claim it for themselves or is does not apply. This requires acknowledgement of this fact by confessing Jesus as Lord and Savior and a voluntary surrender of self and submission to God and His provision through His Son. No my father finally apologized and became a believer. If your father believed on the name of Jesus, confessed his sins and was forgiven, then yes, he is in heaven. Jesus said "All who come to me I will in no wise cast out." No, we are in Daniel's 69th week. We are out of control because the devil knows he has but a short time and is losing big time. Apparently you are serving a god of your own creation and imagination because the God of the bible does not fit your description. It is not for God to fit to our imagination but for us to fit to His reality. Yes I am very concerned for your salvation and urge you to realize that just thinking or saying so does not earn you heaven which no man can. All of us have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But God in His mercy provided his own Son Jesus that whosoever will believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. He did not send Jesus to condemn the world but that the world might be saved through Him because the world was condemned already. I pray right now that you will repent of your sins and confess with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and that He rose from the dead and washed all your sins away by the shedding of His blood on the cross and sprinkling it on the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 1FreeManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418314871405082584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621915200928222891.post-32793600981325979032018-04-12T06:48:10.315-06:002018-04-12T06:48:10.315-06:00Abby, just leave it alone, I can tell you know whe...Abby, just leave it alone, I can tell you know where understanding comes from and that God is not the Author of confusion.

It had nothing to do with traveling to different countries. You are thinking of known tongues. It is a gift to all believers and not a special gift only for some. But since you say you want "nothing to do with it", I can only quote this in response:<br />37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let <br />him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the <br />commandments of the Lord.<br />38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.<br />39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to <br />speak with tongues.<br />40 Let all things be done decently and in order.<br />1 Corinthians 141FreeManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418314871405082584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621915200928222891.post-55324424310279752122018-04-11T19:01:26.485-06:002018-04-11T19:01:26.485-06:00Paul had such a 'gift' probably because he...Paul had such a 'gift' probably because he traveled to so many different places where the languages were each different, IMO. Who knows. It was not explained. I did not go seeking any such gift and it was not given to me, and that is quite fine with me.<br />What we see is a lot of counterfeit because most of the people who claim to be christians, are themselves counterfeits IMO. So of course any gift that would be genuine would be rare. Regardless, I will settle for anything that is in english. Things that I cannot prove, I want nothing to do with it. It is really just that simple.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410400617288497764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621915200928222891.post-75466247562765355722018-04-11T14:13:05.022-06:002018-04-11T14:13:05.022-06:00Hey Freeman, the answers at the bottom do not cut ...Hey Freeman, the answers at the bottom do not cut it.
