Bible Note: Eagle One, What you are describing here sounds very close to the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory. But even Catholics don't interpret this passage from Matthew 22:1-14 in that manner. They interpret it as the man suffering the same fate as those who were first ivited and refused the invitation and were excluded from the wedding feast of the Lamb. No wedding feast of the Lamb, no heaven. God is light, the outer darkness is hell. This is the first time I have ever heard it interpreted the way you do. Emmaus |
