Wdym 3 to 5 stages what

There are only 2

You're either in heaven

Or in the lake of fire

Heaven, purgatory, hell, and then maybe 1 or 2 limbos. I personally believe in 1 limbo

Is there any biblical text expressly mentioning Limbo

Well, all those in Purgatory at the end of time are purified and let out anyhow

The Limbo of the Fathers anyhow, yeah

But they are released

Well, I don’t know if that will be immediate

I'm talking once final judgment is done

If you were a non believer, no matter how good

You're in the lake of fire

Limbo and purgatory are completely made up

That doesn’t seem like something a loving God would do. Also they aren’t made up, they’re just in the parts of the Bible y’all took out

God hates the wicked

@Phil With Frankincense God is just

And justice must be done

These people once dead are rejects

It is nice to think that God will just grant everyone passage to heaven as a final act of mercy, but literally all his teachings say otherwise

Yeah, God already calls everybody to Him day in and day out

Like it's constant

Every day

Limbo and purgatory are constructs of the Catholic church and do not align with scripture. You either go to heaven or sheol (hell) until the day of final judgement where you are then either cast into the lake of fire or will inhabit the newly made earth.

If it was true that he gave everyone passage, what's the point in living, or acting morally

He doesn’t give everyone passage

He dosent give passage to non believers

I don’t know who you are to say what God doesn’t do

It's literally in the Bible

The Bible is God's word

And who are you to say what he *does* do?

I said He May

All scripture says otherwise

(X) doubt

Show me one instance where it says there is even a chance he will give everyone entrance

I never said that He will give everyone entrance

What's your stance then

The invincibly ignorant who lead their lives as God calls them to do. May enter heaven or limbo and be spared damnation

Those people being those who have no knowledge of Christ or similar

If someone has never heard of Christ they go to hell

Because everyone has
