You wont find purgatory in the bible.

2020-12-01 15:49:34 UTC  

Purgatory is only taught by the Catholic church, so outside of Catholic beliefs, you won't find it anywhere in Christianity

2020-12-01 15:49:49 UTC  

Its not inaction that causes purgatory its simply a lack of enough wrong to go to hell so just repent for stuff

2020-12-01 15:50:11 UTC  

And I'm fine not believing in purgatory but cheese

2020-12-01 15:50:23 UTC  

Milk, Better to be one that is a fencesitter than a being driven by malice. But, I should elaborate, it is better to be a fencesitter, but never confuse "better" with best.

2020-12-01 15:51:06 UTC  

The best is to be a good person. Or at least pursue it with every fiber of your being.

2020-12-01 15:51:45 UTC  

But I think Paul says works without faith is dead

2020-12-01 15:51:49 UTC  

"There is non good but the Father" ~ Jesus Christ

2020-12-01 15:53:00 UTC  

If you have faith, you will act. They go hand in hand.

2020-12-01 15:53:03 UTC  

When I mean "good", I mean acting in a manner closest to Christ that you can manage. It will always, of course, pale in comparison, that I don't dispute.

2020-12-01 15:53:52 UTC  

Hey so if I'm correct 777 equals heaven 111 equals the holy trinity and 666 equals hell or the devil
You seeing what I'm seeing?

2020-12-01 15:54:18 UTC  

*Btw, for those wondering, that is Matthew 19:17*

2020-12-01 15:54:47 UTC  

I believe it isn’t 666 but 600, 60, and 6

2020-12-01 15:55:16 UTC  

Yeah, I understand, I was just wanting to clarify so no confusion happens

2020-12-01 15:55:34 UTC  

I can't do Christlike acts and think I did it on my own now can i? Christian doctrine states that all good comes from God and he shines out of us. It's similar to thinking that a mirror reflecting sunlight has its own separate illuminance, separate from the sun.

2020-12-01 15:56:23 UTC  

*this little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine*

2020-12-01 15:56:59 UTC  

Even so

2020-12-01 15:57:05 UTC  

Only through Him can good be a tangible, true thing. Otherwise, it's simply social conditioning spawned by a bunch of nameless Bronze Age Semitic goat herders.

2020-12-01 15:57:25 UTC  

Haha goat

2020-12-01 15:57:37 UTC  

God is GOAT!!!!!!!!

2020-12-01 15:58:08 UTC  

Deus GOAT!!!!!!

2020-12-01 15:59:02 UTC  

That is why our works come after our salvation.
We do good works as a result of being saved, not to get saved. Too many these days don't realize that

2020-12-01 15:59:50 UTC  

We do good works out of a love for who our god is.

2020-12-01 15:59:57 UTC  

If we did it to "be saved", it kills the purpose of the crucifixion.

2020-12-01 16:01:59 UTC  

If we had to ",buy our way into heaven", why on Earth did Christ die for us? Why have a friend pay your debt out of his love for you, than promptly pay it yourself when you have the "money", or "enough good deeds under your belt".

2020-12-01 16:03:40 UTC  

The buying into heaven part was a big reason why I was guarded around Catholic doctrine. Along with the reverence of Mary and the Saints. After several years, I've come to understand the Mary and Saints part better, where I don't see it as idolatrous.

Here’s a quote from the spiritual man that stood out to me.

Sadly, I think some well-meaning Christians mistake "carnal" for romantic love. Love in the marriage bed is never carnal. Rutting like an animal in heat, on the other hand,is.

2020-12-01 16:06:09 UTC  

Who is that?

2020-12-01 16:06:23 UTC  

Charles Spurgeon?

On one of my previous messages, I used the analogy of Christ being a friend paying off a debt. I used that particular analogy because it was the first to come to mind. In actuality, the dynamic between Christ and man was never described in the context of a "friendship". For the relationship with God he is described as our "Father", and us His "Sons". The relationship between us and Christ, is described as that of a groom and bride. I'd wondered for quite some time why that was the case. It wasn't until I read CS Lewis's works called "The 4 Loves" that it made sense.

2020-12-01 16:11:21 UTC  

Love for your spouse is healthy part of a marriage, but our sin corrupts and perverts everything. That’s why most men struggle with pornography

2020-12-01 16:14:15 UTC  

In CS Lewis's work, he describes the four different words for love in the Greek language. The first being Storge, family,... Philia, or friendship... Eros, or the love between partners... And Agape, or God's love for Man. Love itself.

2020-12-01 16:14:47 UTC  

666 is the mark of the beast

2020-12-01 16:15:36 UTC  

He described philia as the most spiritual of loves. So, when philia corrupts, it corrupts the most spiritually

2020-12-01 16:15:41 UTC  

Once you take it you lose your salvation

2020-12-01 16:17:30 UTC  

I'm probably not describing it well enough. I'd recommend looking up on YouTube "C.S Lewis Doodle". It has many of his works in an audio format. They helped me get through a very dark chapter in my life.

2020-12-01 16:20:29 UTC  

The Bible says that nobody will be able to buy or sell without the mark. I’ve also heard that some airlines won’t allow people on the planes unless they can prove they got that corona vaccine. I don’t know if that means anything but, who knows...

2020-12-01 16:21:06 UTC  

Yea that's why I'm avoiding the corona vaccine

2020-12-01 16:22:02 UTC  

Yeah, I don’t trust vaccine either, even if it comes under trump.
