 JESUS IS LAID IN THE TOMB
After His death on the cross, Jesus went to release many of the souls held in the "Bosom Of Abraham" since the creation of the world. This place of purgation was a place of waiting and cleansing. Entrance into the realm of Heaven could not take place until the SACRIFICIAL DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST had opened the gates of HEAVEN!
To REDEEM means "To Buy Back", and the SACRIFICIAL DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS PURCHASED FOR US THE MEANS OF ETERNAL SALVATION!!! WE MUST MAKE USE OF SUPERNATURAL MEANS OF ETERNAL SALVATION IN ORDER TO ATTAIN THE END OF SUPERNATURAL, HEAVENLY, ETERNAL SALVATION!!! ******* Where is the concept of PURGATORY found in the Holy Bible? We are very happy that you asked this important Biblical Question which is often misunderstood! 1. PURGATION - This word is found in the Book of Hebrews, Chapter 1, Verse 3. We quote it here: "Who being the brightness of His glory, and the figure of His substance, and upholding all things by the word of His power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high." In the dictionary it means "the act of cleansing". 2.PURGE - This word is found in several places in the Bible. We quote them here for your spiritual enrichment: (Isaias 1: 25) - "And I will turn my hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dross, and I will take away all thy sin." (St. Luke 3: 17) - "Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." (St. John 15: 2) - "Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit." (1 Corinthians 5: 7) - "Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed." In the dictionary, the word, purge, means "to clean". 3. PURGED - This word is also found in several locations in the Bible. We quote them here for your benefit: (Psalm 11: 7) - "The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times." (Proverbs 15: 27) - "By mercy and faith sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord everyone declineth from evil." (2 Peter 1: 9) - "For he that hath not these things with him, is blind, and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins." 4. PURGETH - This word in found only once in the Sacred Scriptures. It is quoted here: (Tobias 12: 9) - "For alms delivereth from death, and the same is that which purgeth away sins, and maketh to find mercy and life everlasting." 5. PURGING - This word is also found only once in the Holy Bible. It is quoted here: (St. Mark 7: 19) - "Because it entereth not into his heart, but goeth into his belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?" All of these quotations from Sacred Scripture were taken from the Original Bible in its English Tanslation. We mean specifically, THE LATIN VULGATE, Douay - Rheims Translation, and it is available at Tan Publishing, 1- 800-437-5876, www.tanbooks.com . It is also available from Seven Hills Publishing, www.sevenhills.com . We highly recommend that you obtain a copy of The Original Bible, THE LATIN VULGATE, because all of the modern translations have been "VERBALLY ENGINEERED" away from the fullness of the truth. Christian Unity demands that all Christians use the same translation of the Holy Bible. Otherwise, they will continue to be divided by all of the faulty modern translations, including the King James Translation!  "It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost." (St. John 19: 30)
Jesus suffered and sacrificed all of this to REDEEM sinful mankind! WILL YOU SACRIFICE ONE HOUR A WEEK TO PRAY WITH YOUR CHILDREN IN YOUR LOCAL PARISH CHURCH??? | | HERE ARE SOME SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES AND QUOTES CONCERNING THE DOGMA OF PURGATORY: ST. LUKE 16: 19-31 - THE PARABLE OF LAZARUS AND THE RICH MAN. Notice that the rich man is "tormened in this flame", and yet he desires to be MERCIFUL to his "five brethren" in his father's house! The rich man asks "...Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house, for I have five brethren, That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments." (Luke 16: 27-28) A soul in the torments of the Hell Of The Damned does not have any mercy for those who are still alive on Earth!!! The rich man must be in some other location where the virtue of DIVINE MERCY is practiced, because there is no mercy in the Hell Of The Damned! In The Vestibule Of Hell, where THE RICH MAN IS SUFFERING MANY SEVERE TORMENTS, (THIS IS CALLED PURGATION - THE CLEANSING OF IMPURITY AND SIN IN PURGATORY) there is evidence of The Practice Of MERCY! Do you see this here in this Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus? DO PENANCE, JUST AS THE GOSPEL OF ST. LUKE 16: 30 SAYS!
