Purgatory objection I just heard?

  • Once again: I'm not a troll. I have a scapular of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

    This is what I heard from a guy on Youtube.

    Okay, just an objection I heard to Matthew 5:25-26:

    He said it is talking about the law of reconciliation.

    "Mat. 5:23-26, Jesus is teaching about the "law of reconciliation". It is about discipline & our walk with Lord here on earth. It has nothing to do with hell (purgatory if you wish); just as Mat 5: 27-30 is law on adulter & 31-32 is about divorce."

    Can somebody look at this in full context and tell me if it is indeed talking about purgatory?

    21 "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'You shall not murder,[a] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister[c] will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,'[d] is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
    23 "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

    25 "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

    He did say that 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 has been misinterpreted, but he does not give me any reason why, there...

  • Purgatory is mentioned in the Bible. The Protestants' only way to deny it was to take all references to it out of their heretical bibles during the Protestant Reformation.
    Please ignore ALL of my posts. I was naive during my time posting on this forum and didn’t know any better. I retract and deeply regret any and all uncharitable or erroneous statements I ever made here.

    [46] It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins. [2 Machabees 12:46] [Latin]

    [footnotes]
    [46] It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead: Here is an evident and undeniable proof of the practice of praying for the dead under the old law, which was then strictly observed by the Jєωs, and consequently could not be introduced at that time by Judas, their chief and high priest, if it had not been always their custom.

                                               :pray: :pray: :pray:

    Why would we pray for them if they are in Hell? Those are forever lost.
    Why if they are in Heaven? They have no need of prayers.
    Logical.

    God Bless!
