Subject: purgatory is it true? |
Bible Note: Tim, Did you miss the part where I said that those who do not believe in Purgatory would disagree the interpretations I gave? Yes the cross completed the job. Where did I say or imply it did not? Does the fact that you and I are being sanctified and conformed to Christ after we are justified imply that the cross did not complete the job? Of course not. That conforming and sanctifying is the ongoing application of the graces won on the cross. As is the final detailing, so to speak. Christ's work sanctifies us. Is He limited by our death if we are already justified but not completely sanctified or conformed to him by the time we die or can He still complete the work he began in us to purify us to enter heaven without spot or wrinkle? I know I don't have to give you all the citations on that. You know them already. I was not expecting you or anyone else to be overcome by my explanation. I was just presenting the Catholic answer to the question posed. I assumed for obvious reasons that 99 percent of the forum would more than adequately represent the other answer to the question. We have both fulfilled our duty to give the reason for the hope that is in us even if we disagree on some details the reason. Emmaus |
