why he didn't address the original subject. So I'll finish with the scripture

pertaining to Purgatory.

 

1 Peter 3: 19

19 In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison:

( This is proof of a third place, or middle state of souls: for these spirits in

prison, to whom Christ went to preach, after his death, were not in heaven;

nor yet in the hell of the ****ed because heaven is no prison and Christ

did not go to preach to the ****ed.)

 

Matt 5: 26 -- Luke 12: 58, 59

26  Amen I say to thee, thou shalt not go out from thence till thou repay

the last farthing.

 

2 Tim 1: 16,18

Paul prays for his dead friend Onesiphorus

 

1 Cor 3: 12, 15

12 Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones,

wood, hay, stubble:

13 Every man' s work shall be manifest; for the day of

the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire

shall try every man' s work, of what sort it is.

14 If any man' s work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall

receive a reward.

15 If any man' s work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be

saved, yet so as by fire.

 

Upon this foundation: The foundation is Christ and his doctrine: or

the true faith in him, working through charity. The building upon this

foundation gold, silver, and precious stones, signifies the more

perfect preaching and practice of the gospel; the wood, hay, and

stubble, such preaching as that of the Corinthian teachers (who

affected the pomp of words and human eloquence) and such

practice as is mixed with much imperfection, and many lesser sins.

 

Now the day of the Lord, and his fiery trial, (in the particular

judgment immediately after death,) shall make manifest of what sort

every man's work has been: of which, during this life, it is hard to

make a judgment. For then the fire of God's judgment shall try

every man's work. And they, whose works, like wood, hay, and

stubble, cannot abide the fire, shall suffer loss; these works being

found to be of no value; yet they themselves, having built upon the

right foundation, (by living and dying in the true faith and in the state

of grace, though with some imperfection,) shall be saved yet so as

by fire; being liable to this punishment, by reason of the wood, hay,

and stubble, which was mixed with their building.

I really like them verses from 1 Cor 3: 12, 15

 

12 Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones,

wood, hay, stubble:

13 Every man' s work shall be manifest; for the day of

the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire

shall try every man' s work, of what sort it is.

14 If any man' s work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall

receive a reward.

15 If any man' s work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be

saved, yet so as by fire.

Is not the same thing found in Revelation saying the same thing?

 

 

Rev 20:12

 

 

 

  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

 

Rev 20:13

 

 

 

  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

 

Rev 20:14

 

 

 

  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

 

Rev 20:15

 

  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

 

Putting both sets of verses together tells me everyone will be judged in the lake of fire and that the same fire will save everyone. The evil in us all will be burned away and only the good will be left. Isn't that awesome?

Hi gdriggs!!  Where ya been? But seriously?!

Hi semi, I'm right where ive always been Seriously though I never forget you guys here and think of you all often. Even dear old Mr. Gray

 

I don't post as much, but I do still read the forums and try to learn more about your beliefs or lack of it. While at the same time learning about myself and how I can improve to be more pleasing to God. So I take long breaks from posting cause sometimes I think I go too far and maybe my heart is always not in the right place. I dunno heh.

 

Anyway thanks for the shout semi. I always look forward to reading what you have to say.

 

Peace

Thankfully, old man Gray is gone & the forum is a better place for it, but one forum member has took his place at being a self important azz.  Old man Gray thinks I was one of them that had him banned but if I had that kind of power, he would have been gone long before he was.

I love your attitude of wanting to learn more, & having an open mind about other beliefs or their lack of it. I love it that you're willing to keep learning about yourself and how you can improve to be more pleasing to the God you believe in.

I'm not on as much as I used to be either & recently took a break. I pizzed a couple of people off that are now mad & completely ignoring me but that's ok cause I like to know where I truly stand with people. I will NEVER bend to the beliefs of someone else just to agree with their ideas or to make them happy. I've never seen you go to far & I've never seen your heart in the wrong place. As long as you're true to yourself that's all that matters. But it's still good to see that you're open to improvement.

I'm glad to see you back because I enjoy reading your thoughts. Just because I may not agree with you doesn't mean I'm upset with you or being rude. I would never intentionally offend you or anyone on here. Some accept that, some don't.
