2nd chance ??? ping
Otherwise known as marriage.
I don’t know.
Um, haven’t we all been there for the last six years?
2 1 Pt 3:18-22
Beloved:
Christ suffered for sins once,
the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous,
that he might lead you to God.
Put to death in the flesh,
he was brought to life in the Spirit.
In it he also went to preach to the spirits in prison,
who had once been disobedient ....
No. This life is about a purgatory as it gets.
There is as much to support “reincarnation” as there is to support purgatory, if you are talking about second, or third, or fourth, or fifth chances. The sins and failures of the past lives are to be cleansed away with the arrival in the new life, and just maybe, this time get it right.
And there is anecdotal information about those who may have lived past lives. Not so much, purgatory.
No. Purgatory is not punishment really but rather sort of a final prep for Heaven. The last six years have been Hell, not Purgatory.
OMG, you nailed it! I am in Purgatory. I had always thought that Purgatory was a ski run in Aspen but now I realize that as a married woman I am in it! Which means I am going to heaven. My ticket has been punched! But did it really need to be this painful Lord?
I’m pretty sure it’s located on the south side of Chicago!
John 3:16. You believe and you are saved. There is no judgment of the saved. If you die and you are not saved, you go to the grave and oblivion. There is no eternal existence in Hates. Just the grave.
In before some idjit posts an Internet exorcism against you PING
This should end well.
LOL.. Hey Rome has already damned me to hell (Anathema) and some FR are "praying" for me ...I guess exorcism is the next step ..

For in contrast to Scripture, in which God justifies the unGodly by counting his faith as righteousness, while purifying his heart by faith by which faith he is regenerated, (Rm. 4:5; Acts 15:7-9) - though it must be the kind of a faith which effects obedience - under Roman soteriology God justifies the Godly based upon his holiness, as one is "formally justified and made holy by his own personal justice and holiness.” (Catholic Encyclopedia>Sanctifying Grace) Which is normally initially "infused" via regeneration effected by the act itself of sprinkling of water (ex opere operato), thus at that point the newly baptized is fit to enter Heaven. Thus Abraham must have become born again in Gn. 15:6.
However, due to failure to maintain this and as justification is based one one's own holiness, then under the Roman system of salvation, the RC (the EOs reject the purgatory of Rome) typically must endure postmortem "purifying torments" for an indeterminate time in purgatory until they atone for sins and once again become good enough to enter Heaven.
In seeking to support this tradition with Scripture, RC invoke 2 Maccabees 12:43ff, but which only teaches praying and making offerings for the dead if perhaps God may forgive them, and which was for those died who due to mortal sin, but which Rome holds their is no hope for.
Other texts used to support this myth either refer to present chastisement or the lost, or 1Cor. 3:8ff, which only refers to suffering the loss of rewards (and implicitly the Lord's displeasure), and which only occurs after the Lord's return, not commencing at death.
The lies of the Catholic Church are just stunning and to believe that people would defend them is just beyond reason.
Have you seen Comedian Sam Kinison’s old ‘Marriage’ stand up bits!? YouTube has a few of ‘em up, or used to, if you are interested. Darn funny stuff!
No.
