Tinuod na bai...as well as sa mga apostolic father applied sad na. karon, ang pangutana as a christian as man nimo nahibaw-an ang pulong sa Ginoo? Sa Bible? Kinsa man sauna ang nag-baton ug authority para ipunan ang mga kasulatan ug nahimong Biblia? Kinsa may nag-justify na kining Biblia gikan sa Ginoo?

Perhaps that's one of the reasons why purgatory should exists primarily because to purify all sinners who are already save yet still committing sins while they are still living..otherwise nonsense sad sige ta ug ngayo pasaylo kay save naman kaha ta.

Tanuod na kay purgatory comes from Latin mao murag iya gyud sa mga roman christian pero ang concept about cleansing by fire is not really new kay maski ang Judaism naa man sila same concept sad. Also, kung pati orthodox christians naa man sad ingon ana nga belief.
Pero not just because literally wala sa Bible di pud buot pasabot wala ang concept...di ba? Mao gani naay issue sa ato mga christian bahin ani atong Bible nga double meaning kay perting daghana sa paagi pag-interpret niiini o interpretation. Wa ko balo sa tinuod ngano giingon-ana man sa Ginoo ang tao, gilugaw niya ila mga utok hehehe...I just trust God that He has reasons and simply not be troubled about it.

Actually mas play safe ang catholic hehehe..you see, they are in both side of the issue...believe=save and deeds=save...kaya lang because of plenary indulgence medyo makaduda na nuon hehe..

Irrelevant ni bai...kung believer ka's Ginoo its not an issue anymore. We are only talking about some sense here and we are way beyond being empirical and logical about this hehe..
Besides, how about kung ang purgatory existed only after Christ went to heaven since pwedi sad na ang purgatory is a place for temporary purification while the world still awaits the 2nd coming of Christs and consequently Judgment day. Naa baya mga sins na mapasaylo even after this world..

Aw true sad na, kaya lang kung imo gyud ayuhon ug investigate ang doctrina sa catholico you will learn na dili kaayo ingon ana ka descriptive ang beliefs bahin ani hehehe...wa gani klaro nga description ang Bible bahin ining Heaven ug Hell sa, Dante was only trying to symbolically described the level of sins and there fitting punishment..lantaw puno kaayo ug mga prominent figures ang iyang story good and evil people.
Sama ra gud sa myth bahin sa catholic inquisition medyo na-bloated na kaayo ang mga story ug facts niini..imagine millions of millions daw ang biktima hehehe...asus kwentaha kung pila ang rate sa patyon sa mga church per year para ma-achieve na nga figures hehe...
