Typical heresy of adding to scripture throu bringing ideas to the. I left.
“4th century work by Saint Gregory of Nyssa, ”
Funny they call this “ancient”... more than 500 years after Christ.
There is no purgatory in Scripture.
...and one who can't count. 4th century is the 300s. So 300 years after Christ....and only a few decades after the last great persecution.
So answer me this. If Gregory of Nyssa got this wrong....then *why the flip didn't anyone correct him*?
Find me one theologian of the 300s that said "Gee Greg...you're flat wrong on this one." ONE.
So either the whole church..every single Christian theologian was corrupted *at the same time*....
OR, more likely,
you are the one who was wrong and this is what the early Church believed from the beginning.
Oh but wait...I can think of two people who "corrected" Gregory of Nyssa. Luther. 1500 years after Christ. And you. 2000 years after Christ.
I'll take 300 over a couple of millenia, thank you very much.
