STL: Yeah, Im all about taking the gospel to this lost and dying world as well, I just don't have to be tipsy while doing it.

How about people not beating around the bush, not joining hands with the world to reach the lost, and actually giving the gospel without selling out to the world while doing it?

Next month's ministry, Making Disciples and Meth, 101.

After that, Cocaine and Conviction, Heroin and Hebrews, Joints and Jesus...

You know as well as I do that there is no private interpretation and that understanding is given by the Holy Spirit, but you have to be saved to have the Holy Spirit. (Take a note here GG). (I Cor. 2) Furthermore, God is not the author of confusion, so the GOD of the Bible will not lead you, your spouse and others differently in doctrine. You should get to know the God of the Bible, but I expect you would not like him much... He is real contrary to your ROMAN cult.

"I never said Purgatory didn't exist, I only said that the scriptural proof of it, is implied, which means that people who can't see their nose in front of their face...will ignore it."

... implied, implied, implied. No, it is not that I miss my big nose, it is that I don't RANDOMLY CREATE doctrine based on guesses and vain traditions of men.

ANd yes, main stream protestantism, by that name, came out of medieval eurpope, but there have always been true believers who were protesters of that drunken whore.

Just a note, that Eph verse you just used talks about INHERITANCE, can you show me where it says salvation in that verse?

It would take either a lost man, or a complete fool to make such a mess of the Bible.

Concerning your overly convincing passages of proof:

Matthew: Where does it speak of purgatory? It speaks of someone not being forgiven of the sin of blasphemy, ever... that is not purgatory.

I Cor. 3: Read the first 7 words, WORKS be burned, not the man.

I Peter: Why make up something to apply here? Why not use references to places IN THE BIBLE where it is compared to prison? Jonah 2:6; Eph.4:8; 2 Pet 2:4; Jude 1:6

Concerning the dead in 4:6, are you certain he is not talking to the spiritually dead? Ro 6:11, 6:13;

2 Tim: Prayers for the dead? Hardly. The guy is still alive as far as one can tell. What about mercy in rewards? Crowns? Inheritance?

First, I am sorry for your loss in that war.

Second, I meant, lost Vietnam, as in, lost the war in Vietnam, pretty simple English.

"Fundi" bashing of Catholic is nothing more than exposing false doctrine, do you need chapter and verse for that?

Don't fret too much about the time it sometimes takes for others to reply... for sometimes work overcomes debates.

You are right GG, a whole new can of worms has been opened. Let us begin.

You stated: "Something that the bible has never claimed for itself, that it IS the SOLE organ for information to Christ's Church."

... you really ought to read 2 Timothy.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

That verse at the end tells us the Scriptures are sufficient to be perfect, and throughly furnished unto all good works.

Let us ponder another:

“For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when YE RECEIVED THE WORD OF GOD WHICH YE HEARD OF US, YE RECEIVED IT NOT AS THE WORD OF MEN, BUT AS IT IS IN TRUTH, THE WORD OF GOD, which effectually worketh also in you that believe” (1 Thessalonians 2:13).

I don't blame you for not wanting to debate this issue, you and I know that man's tradition will not stand against the Bible.

Just for a note, I have not mentioned, "my opinions". I asked a question and refuted an answer due to lack of Bible in the answer, no opinion there.

You said: "I told you plainly..from the promise of Christ in his words which are declared at Mass."

Mass? Where? I see the Lord's Supper. Yet, there IS STILL NOTHING, NOTHING, to prove that IF Christ actually turned the bread to flesh and the wine to blood, where does he then give man the power to do the same?

You said: "His words are powerful enough to create what they say."

... ah, the key word there would be create. Yet, it is the ROMAN catholic cult and your opinion that are creating something.

Where does the priest get his power to transubstantiate something? From Christ? Okay, chapter and verse please.
