phruubeljiie, I am a Catholic and believe in a final purification by God's firely love called Purgatory, but I do not see any relationship between that doctrine and this passage of Matthew. Ultimately there are only two place in the end, heaven and hell. Purgatory (assuming there is a purgatory; most here do not)will cease to exist after the final judgement. Even those who believe in Purgatory, believe it is only like the ante room to heaven and only those destined for heaven pass through that final purification. A better comparison might be this. The seed might also be like God's invitation to the wedding feast that was turned down by the first people invited. God then issued the invitation to the people from the highways and byways, Luke 14:15-24. Emmaus |

Okay, you're the second person who corrected me on this; I threw in that bit about purgatory to be non-denominationally discriminant. Truth is my head's really spinning about how religion is changing from the literal translation of the bible to today's accepted versions, and the religious ed teachers I talk to about this just give some non-answer. Thanks for pointing out the passage in Luke, but I felt like since I was talking about the seed that died I had to adress death in my analogy. Chris |

phruubeljiie, "Truth is my head's really spinning about how religion is changing from the literal translation of the bible to today's accepted versions," Can you give a specific example. Sadly, I get the impression you have some not very good teachers. Essential truths do not change. A bit of advice specifically about Catholic religion teachers: Get a copy of the Catehcism of the Catholic Church. If what they are teaching conflicts with the Catechism and its interpretation of Scripture, ignore them! Especially if it seems directly opposite of the obvious meaning. I limit my comments only to my own Church. Others could have similar things to say about their own affliations. Emmaus |
