Bible Note: 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 |
