This
Page is a Transcript of my "Purgatory" Video
In the Vatican's approved
Catechism books it states the following regarding
Purgatory. "Augustine (Enarration on Psalm 37, no. 3) speaks of the pain which purgatorial fire causes as more
severe than anything a man can suffer in this life, "gravior erit
ignis quam quidquid potest homo pati in hac vita" (P.L., col. 397).
Gregory the Great speaks of those who after this life "will expiate their
faults by purgatorial flames," and he adds "that the pain be
more intolerable than anyone can suffer in this life" (Ps. 3
poenit., n. 1).
In
other words, it's all about fear.
If the powers that be in Rome
can convince their flock they alone have the truth (which they have done) then
their people will bow to them
and trust them feeling they have no other choice. For Rome, that has been the
norm for centuries. But we are now in
the last days when we have the ability to check their claims with
the written Word of God thanks to the Bible being printed in every language
known to man. Long gone are the days of Roman prelates standing before the
people as the sole bearers of the truth. Today, as prophesied, they are now
seen in the light of truth and as prophesied
they are the most evil men to ever walk this earth.
The Bible clearly says our
Heavenly Father is a "God of love and peace" in 2 Corinthians 13:11
as well as many other verses in the Bible. But for centuries Rome outlawed the Bible
so as to prevent the people from knowing the truth about how loving a God He
truly is so as to cultivate a mindset in the people that believed the God of Heaven
was a tyrant who demands pain and suffering of His people before they can ever
enter into Heaven. That lie also allowed the priests to be violent to the
people without recourse for many centuries because the loyal Catholics thought
that type of anger was the norm for the Father in Heaven. But now that we have
Bibles in hand, does that really sound like a loving Father? No. It sounds more
like the dying god of this world who as prophesied runs the Vatican as his
earthly headquarters.
That being said, why do the
Popes of Rome declare that when a Christian dies that they must first enter
into the torments of Purgatory
when there is not a single Bible verse to back that up? Again, it's because
most never had Bibles before to see their priests openly lied to them. But now
that we do have Bibles, and as prophesied the man of sin has been
exposed wherein everyone can see his evil acts from child molestation to homosexual
brothels bought and paid for with Vatican money, who on earth will
believe these men when they claim doctrines like Purgatory exist when anyone
with a Bible can prove they're lying? Well.. that's the key. Most won't open
their Bibles.
Purgatory was invented so the
Popes and prelates of Rome could control the people. In fact, they have
admitted in writing that "The doctrines of the Catholic Church are entirely
independent of Holy Scripture." (Familiar Explanation of Catholic
Doctrine, Rev. M. Muller, p.151) And so again, who is more trustworthy? The
God of the Bible? Or the men the
Bible defines by using many prophecies and historic records as
being Antichrist?
I recall as a very young
Catholic boy in parochial school asking the nun one day to explain Purgatory to
me because it scared me to death! I loved the Lord as a child and I simply
couldn't believe He would be so mean and hateful. She looked me straight in the
eyes and said with a stern look on her face that the flames are very real and I
was destined to burn in those real flames as long as it takes just so I could
get ready to be in God's holy presence. That's all she or any priest would ever
say about it. And when asked to give more details they would tell me that the
common man cannot possibly understand what the leaders in the church do unless
they dedicate their lives to God as they did. And so of course as a little boy
I was left with no choice but to trust them over the Lord I loved and I began
to fear God in a way that confused me about how His love was truly defined by
Him even as a child.
Their strange theology never
stopped me from loving or even praying to Him as I did often in the prairies of
Illinois even as a boy. But it was part and parcel to the reason I rebelled
from the God I loved in a big way in my teenage years. And yes, this is what
Catholicism, and especially the doctrine of Purgatory is designed to do all
along. This doctrine not only states it's useless to try and be perfect because
even if you were you're still not able to stand before God without first
burning in Purgatory for millions of years; the other toss of the coin is that
their false doctrine also creates hate in the hearts of billions because they
see no love in the God of Heaven when He promises to put His people and
their loved ones in Purgatory just to be ready to be in His presence and then
His eternal kingdom.
But
ask your priest and nun this.
If we all need the cleansing of
the purgatorial flames to be in the presence of the Lord, why is it nary a
single soul felt so much as the heat of a candle flame when Jesus walked among
us 2000 years ago? My Bible says in Hebrews 13:8 that "Jesus Christ the
same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." Not a single Purgatorial
flicker ever came from His loving presence 2000 years ago, and since he never
changes, it will never be needed to gain His loving presence in the future.
SOME SHOCKING LINKS TO SHARE REGARDING PURGATORY:
Notice this historic reference regarding one of many reasons the Popes of Rome invented Purgatory:
"Still
another fabrication was needed to enable Rome to profit by the fears and the
vices of her adherents. This was supplied by the doctrine of indulgences. Full
remission of sins, past, present, and future, and release from all the pains
and penalties incurred, were promised to all who would enlist in the pontiff's
wars to extend his temporal dominion, to punish his enemies, or to exterminate
those who dared deny his spiritual supremacy. The people were also taught that
by the payment of money to the church they might free themselves from sin, and
also release the souls of their deceased friends who were confined in the tormenting
flames. By such means did Rome fill her coffers, and sustain the magnificence,
luxury, and vice of the pretended representatives of Him who had not where to
lay his head.
The scriptural ordinance of the
Lord's supper had been supplanted by the idolatrous sacrifice of the mass. Papist
priests pretended, by their senseless mummery, to convert the simple bread and
wine into the actual body and blood of Christ. With blasphemous presumption,
they openly claimed the power to "create their Creator." All Christians
were required, on pain of death, to avow their faith in this horrible, Heaven-insulting
heresy. Those who refused were given to the flames. {Spirit of Prophecy
Volume 4 pages 62.3 - 63.1 (1884)}
