    What do you think of Purgatory?

    ..so suddenly, we will no longer be able to bleed out? No .. you are misled .. it is nothing but imaginative dogma. You (JW's) confuse this present life with a new creation.

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    Well, in a bit more detail.. Jesus' rule is said to be around forty years, after which he will die (since according to Islam, Jesus did not die on the cross but was taken up to heaven and continues to live until his return in the second coming). Second_Coming - Wikipedia ..and this corresponds...

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    Why? Will the laws of nature change at some point? ..so how can anybody live on 'paradise earth' ? How long will they live for, then? A contradiction .. you just said that only G-d is immortal. :) No .. we are flesh .. we can bleed out, for example. ..and so where were you before you were...

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    I do, actually.. I believe that Jesus, the Son of Mary, will return at an appointed time (as the Messiah, and not G-d). He will rid the earth of corruption and disbelief, and bring in a global, 'golden age'. ..but after ~1000 years, future generations will become complacent, and disbelief will...

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    ALL of us can still die .. and will. ..or are you claiming that a person can no longer be run over by a car etc. etc. ? On this earth we are mortal. G-d can create an alternative universe, where our bodies are NOT mortal. The result is the same .. an eternal life .. this is the trouble when...

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    ..sounds like you have a love of this worldly life .. you want to live forever. The universe is finite .. it is not designed to last forever .. neither are our worldly bodies. Your belief is nothing but a dream .. that earth will be transformed into a magic fairy-land, where accidents can't...

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    I would rather be a goat, if that were true. I do not want to live here on earth for longer than I have to .. it's a burden. Fortunately, I don't have to .. we will all die .. not one of us will "remain alive" here on earth. It's always *****y money! :rolleyes:

    What has happened to Protestantism?

    It is in a way.. Henry's religious beliefs remained aligned to traditional Catholicism throughout his reign. In order to secure royal supremacy over the church, however, Henry allied himself with Protestants, who until that time had been treated as heretics. The main doctrine of the Protestant...

    What has happened to Protestantism?

    Mmm ..but there are plenty who would like to be back in the EU, though.. :expressionless:

    What has happened to Protestantism?

    Yes .. it's very interesting, isn't it.. ..but UK is still considered to be a "protestant nation".. The Elizabethan Religious Settlement is the name given to the religious and political arrangements made for England during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558–1603). The settlement, implemented from...

    What has happened to Protestantism?

    Are Anglicans shia or sunni? ;)

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    Not in my Bible .. what about the sheep & goats in the Gospels? Why would they? What does it matter, if we are just "blotted out" .. cease to exist? What would be the difference in belief and disbelief?

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    Exactly .. and that is why people "deserve" to suffer in hell .. because they refuse to repent. It is not that souls are tortured due to spite or arrogance, but a consequence of reality.

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    G-d does not want anybody to suffer .. but they do.. ..what does that tell you? That is what many atheists say about G-d .. why does G-d not intervene, and stop people suffering? Now, they mean, and not 60 years time.. You it is, who mention the word "forever" .. I merely said that G-d is...

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    Why are you so concerned? Are you trying to teach us that Divine justice "has no teeth"? ..so we might as well do as we please? It's a very unbalanced view .. millions of people can suffer through oppression by "Pharaohs" for >60 years, and nothing bad will happen to them .. they just cease to...
