When did the term "Roman Catholic Church" first come into being? | Catholic Answers
i know it is just a list, the highlights really were the dates. of course you cannot see their names in the bible but in history perhaps..hehehe except for Peter though.

our topic was about Constantine and the Catholic Church, so i showed you the dates..
regarding purgatory..
it's non-biblical if youe reason for saying such is because the term "purgatory" can nowhere be found in the Bible.
but it is biblical if you would believe God is all merciful and Just at the same time...
i have no doubts i believe in Jesus as my Lord and Savior, so if i die, i'm positive that i won't go to hell..
but i am also certain that before i became a Christian, while i was a Christian and even till the day i die
i would always sin even in its slightest form in God's grace...where would i go? Heaven directly?
what happens to the God of justice? my eternal sins are obviously washed by the blood of Jesus...
but we also know that "nothing defiled shall enter the gates of heaven"Rev 21:27
say a muslim who was born a muslim and never had a chance to know Jesus...what happens to Him when he dies?
obviously he cannot accept Jesus as God...
should he go to hell then? what happens to the all merciful God?
scriptural basis for purgatory:
Scripture Catholic - PURGATORY
by the way, the purgatory topic is a but off i think, it should be asked in the RCC q and a thread, however i believed the question has been answered na pud ngadto..
thanks for reading the article bro.
