“Hello. Please give me the scriptural basis for the belief in purgatory. I believe that the Catholic Church has said that the Bible is THE WORD OF GOD - do you believe that?
The Bible, being the WORD OF GOD, is the authority for everything we believe, is it not?”
Catholics believe that Jesus Christ is the authority for what we believe. To Catholics this means the Holy Bible and the Tradition of the Church that Christ set up with instructions to Peter and the Apostles.
Thanks for that added information.
I guess that is the chief delineation between Catholic and Protestant Christians....
The Tradition in addition to the Bible.
