If a hydroelectric boat was invented by a man on a remote island (using all the island's metal), and he offered me a use of it for $30,000 (I don't know why I’d have money on an island) and I refused, then I'd wouldn’t trust it if I saw it twenty years later in a shop.

oh for the love of... doh not everyone who follows the teaching of a church is a sheep. You people who dont believe in God or get some kind of kick out of flaming people who do need to seriously get over yourselves. You dont believe and some of us do. SO WHAT? You do your thing and the rest of us can do our own thing. I personally dont give a rats ASS who believes in God but Id like to be able to have that belief myself without being flamed for it. Im not going around recruiting people to my faith cause I just feel thats not my JOB. I dont CARE if you believe. We all are on our own because religion is a deeply personal thing, and I for the life of me do NOT understand why atheists and Christians cant just live together in peace.And for the record people not familiar with the Catholic doctrine on these things shouldnt be attempting to define them
Purgatory: (Lat., "purgare", to make clean, to purify) in accordance with Catholic teaching is a place or condition of temporal punishment for those who, departing this life in God's grace, are, not entirely free from venial faults, or have not fully paid the satisfaction due to their transgressions.
Limbo: In theological usage the name is applied to (a) the temporary place or state of the souls of the just who, although purified from sin, were excluded from the beatific vision until Christ's triumphant ascension into Heaven (the "limbus patrum"😉; or (b) to the permanent place or state of those unbaptized children and others who, dying without grievous personal sin, are excluded from the beatific vision on account of original sin alone (the "limbus infantium" or "puerorum"😉
Babe, I was talking about people in the middle ages.....

There before you go to heaven so you can pay for your sins.So does anyone believe in this or any thoughts.JM 💃
No. I don't believe in pertatory. Nor do I believe in purgatory. I believe in Jah. He will allow anyone into heaven, as long as you know how to roll up, light up, sit down, shut up and relax.
However, I do believe that in heaven smoking might be pertatory. Or is that obligatory?

Strange I never knew it was also called limbo.Interesting.So are you saying that it is written in the bible or that it was just invented which makes it not real?JM
If any of yu guys believe there is a heaven and a hell then why not believe in Limbo or for that matter Pertorary?JM
Nonono... Purgatory and Limbo are two different things. Limbo is the first layer of hell, where people who weren't Christian but didn't otherwise sin go. Not that you can read this anyways 🙄
Plus, why is it that you have so much faith in the Bible, not even being Christian? None of it is true, darling...

What about Luke 3:1? He calls Lysanias the Tetrach of Abilene in AD
27 ish. There was an enscription found from the time of Tiberius, from AD 14-37, which names Lysanias as Tetrach in Abila near Damascus.
Or the Census. People say that Herod died in 4 B.C., and Quirinius starting his ruling of Syria in A.D. 6, and then conducted a Census. Luke says that it was conducted when Quirinius was ruling Syria, whilst Herod was ruling. Again, this was proved correct when a coin was found saying that Quirinius ruled from 11 B.C. till after Herod died, by Jerry Vardaman. There were two Quirinius’s. Many details check out.

Star Trek refereces actual dates, locations, persons, and times in its episodes. Does this mean that everything in Star Trek is real too?
No, but it does mean that some is. She said, "None of it is true, darling..." So I stated a few facts. The Bible doesn't say that it's fictional, so a reasonable confirmation of it’s truth is to verify what it says. It's like hearing a defendant in court say "I went to buy "Blowfly" out of Ottaker's bookshop, and drank two cappuccinos in the restaurant, after I rode on the bus away from the crime scene.” If it checks out, then he has a reputation for truth, If it doesn't, he's guilty.
