A City Of Refuge

 

 

Holy Bible ..Hebrews 9:27

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."

The ROMAN CATHOLIC MYTH OF A PLACE CALLED ''PURGATORY.''

 

(Below is the Roman Catholic teaching)

III. THE FINAL PURIFICATION, OR PURGATORY

Let us help and commemorate them. If Job's sons were purified by their father's sacrifice, why would we doubt that our offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them.⁶¹¹   

^{Huh? Job offered sacrifice for his sons, while they were alive!! ANOTHER LIE FROM THE WHORE OF BABYLON!}

Ephesians Ch. 2: 8 & 9..."For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast."

Protestant Reformation

During the Protestant Reformation, certain Protestant theologians developed a view of salvation (soteriology) that excluded purgatory. This was in part a result from a doctrinal change concerning justification and sanctification on the part of the reformers. In Catholic theology, one is made righteous by a progressive infusion of divine grace accepted through faith and cooperated with through good works; however, in Martin Luther's doctrine, justification rather meant "the declaring of one to be righteous", where God imputes the merits of Christ upon one who remains without inherent merit.^[50] In this process, good works done in faith (i.e. through penance) are more of an unessential byproduct that contribute nothing to one's own state of righteousness; hence, in Protestant theology, "becoming perfect" came to be understood as an instantaneous act of God and not a process or journey of purification that continues in the afterlife.
