protestants are suppost to be avid bible Christians, why is it then you ignore scripture, and refute it? I speak scriptual things and you ignore the bible. Heres proof. In Mt. 12:32 "and whoever says a worde against the son of man will be forgiven, but whoever speakings against the holy spirit will not be forgiven "EITHER IN THIS AGE OR IN THE AGE TO COME" Thisimplies some sins can be forgiven in the next world. Sin cannot be forgiven in Hell. 1Cor 3:15 If any mans work ios burned up , he will suffer loss, though he himself WILL BE SAVED, but only as through fire!!!!!!!!!!!!! Theres purgatory just as Catholics believe and just as the bible clearly teaches! Thank you very much!!

is there a question anywhere in your rant?
the 1 Corinthians reference has to do with the preaching work.
it has nothing to do with the unscriptural doctrine of 'purgatory'.

After Death Comes Judgement

The Bible is not clear on that lol "Age" describes terms of generations in mankinds lives. "The dawn of a new AGE" ring a bell? And I believe the part "either in this age or in the age to come" is talking about blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (though I find that one odd... it implies you can speak against Jesus the "son of man" yet not the Holy Spirit - that alone destroys the Trinity idea, they all can't be the same if you can speak against one but not the other)... simply means that the one sin that can't be forgiven will never be changed (as so many of the others laws obviously have been changed).
Honestly, this has to be one of the silliest things I've ever seen. Most of the catholics I have met aren't avid Bible readers either.... they run to their priests and ask them to give them the answers.....
BUT!!! Thanks for showing that the Trinity is not Biblical. IF God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit were all the same, then if a person spoke against one of them, they would be speaking against all 3... but your scripture here clearly shows that is not the case at all.

I disagree. Yes, at death judgment, not purgatory. Matthew is saying that Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit can never be forgiven. We will all die with sin. But if we accept Jesus, we will go to Heaven. But if we blaspheme the Holy Spirit, we will go instantly to Hell when we die.

This question comes up every single day. I don't think many are paying attention. Pay Attention, please?!
Do some Bible study on your own and with an Elder. Don't just come here to rant or put doubt in the minds of the weak ones. Isn't it enough at Armageddon that 90% of the world's population will lose their lives; those alive now, and those dead [who won't receive the gift of resurrection to everlasting life]? Please stop posting junk to influence the weak minds or those unknowing. It makes you look bad and your good standing (if you ever had any) with God is severely jeopardized.
Ecclesiastes 9:5
..."The dead are conscious of nothing"...
Psalms 146: 3 - 4
.."Do not put YOUR trust in nobles, Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; In that day his thoughts do perish"..

does your scripture also mention the the "judgment" usually comes from the people left behind after one dies.
god is not judgment. that is a human thing.
the only one that needs to forgive me is me and i forgive you too.
purgatory is a man-made concept, created by those that want
power and control over others.
how can people buy into that s@!*#

Please stop preaching. This is questions and answers-- not preaching and annoying.
