No purgatory is not real.

Plain and simple

Life is purgatory and we choose whether or not to construct hell our heaven within ourselvses based on the choices we make

How so?

Hell is the place where the dead are stored, the jewish version is sheol. Heaven traditionally meant "sky or covering". What we'd consider heaven is just union with God after death, any hell we'd face afterwords is based on the world we've created for our children and the way in which we are remembered for our actions.

You can view heaven as the metaphysical world that we can't see. Jesus even told his followers whatever they bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatever loosed shall be loosed. As above, so below

Or the Lord's prayer:
"Thy will be **done in earth, as it is in heaven.**

as above so below

It's really that simple guys: as so in the mind of God so too in the microcosm of our own

Interesting

It's the nature of gematria to start to see patterns in the words and phrasees that correlate but some of these are pretty interesting

Ur possessed by demons

Maybe, but the correlations are self evidently real.

The phrases clearly make sense together.

I'm looking to be a shepherd of wolves more than sheep anyways: they're much less likely to get chewed up and spit out than a sheep would be

<@&588707615643795456> Daily Question✝️

- Should extra-biblical texts be considered? That is other works not included in the Bible and/or canon. Example would be the book of Enoch or Jasher. Should they be tossed out? Examined? Believed? This also doesn’t just apply to Christianity but other religions.

I don't see any benefit to not knowing what's in a book

probably for greater context, sure

The bible is not the sole authority on christianity

Donno about that statement

The Dead Sea scrolls tho

To an extent god is the ultimate authority

Donno about those

How can the bible be the sole authority, it was compiled by 12 men

The church is an authority

No.

Who were assigned to do it

Simple as.

Also no

Ultimately, you are your the authority in determining what is true.

The church is based on the Bible

Don't determine it wrong.

The trinity isnt mentioned in the bible, yet the church preaches it as fact

Trinity as in the connections?

God is said to be life, light and love in passages within the bible. That is a trinity of sorts

Yes but it is never explicitly described as the trinity, because it was agreed upon by churchmen

God is not just the trinity but the trinity is God.

Well yes
