You're gonna fall into the rut of proclaiming that you already have salvation and will go right to heaven, that last thing the Bible doesn't say, that's assumed by many, but anyway you're not ready to exist in Heaven right this instance, nor am I. You'd have to be a real saint. Jesus absolved us and cleans us but we aren't angels. There's a thing called penance, look it up. Believers in Christ aren't going to hell or will suffer like that. We'll do penance for things we've done. don't live in denial. Maybe we've done things wrong and were forgiven but that doesn't mean we're totally off the hook, do you understand me? I'm not the best teacher. If we live an exemplary lifestyle and do penance on earth through confessions, prayers, and almisgiving among other corporal and spiritual works we can reduce time doing penance in purgatory.
Christ took away our sins and their weight on our souls, but that doesn't mean we're totally off the hook for all the things we've done. You need to understand that.
dude, your post is a bunch of CRAPPOLA! Show me using the bible where it says that we can lessen our time in purgatory by doing spiritual works and almsgiving? your doctrine is nothing short of salvation by works. u know, when Jesus said that many who call Him Lord and have claimed to cast demons out, preach in His name will be rejected by Him, and be cast into hellfire where there will be weepeing and gnashing of teeth. The Cultic RCC calls Jesus Lord, preaches, cast demons out and do works (almsgiving). Its a crying shame that you'd rather follow the traditions of man rather than obey God.
