I completely agree… Where do you get off saying to us Catholics, the first Christians, that we made up the thought that almost everyone is going to spend time in purgatory!!! Are you kidding me. That just makes me… well, not mad… * “They” know that going to purgatory is going to cleanse their sins, which is totally necessary according to the Bible… before anyone gets to heaven. That is a joke and protestants are being taught by a misinterpreted Bible and not the Church*
, not by the Word of God. Unbelievable. They’re taking people straight to hell with those sayings and they don’t even know it. Plus, I guess they’ve never read the scripture where it says in Hebrews 9:27, 28 -
“Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,
so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people.” They forget that forgiveness preceeds sanctification but does not replace it.
You do go to purgatory when you die (suually) , that goes for all people. When you die, you’re either going to heaven or straight to hell. Jesus died once for your sins, you have to ask for forgiveness, not from Mary, not from the saints or to a mortal man, but Jesus Christ himself. It says it right there in the Bible & the Church. You can believe what a church teaches if its the right one… it lines up with the Word…(etc)…
I thought the bible was the word of god?
