Apotheoun Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 [quote name='Hananiah' date='Oct 1 2004, 12:20 PM'] If you think of Christ's atonement in terms of penal substitution then there's no room for purgatory, but the Catholic Church doesn't see things this way. [/quote] I agree.
Big Joe Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 ^^^^^ So does the Holy Father, and the Doctors of the Church, and most importantly, God himself.
DojoGrant Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 Mulls, You asked several questions, which will of course beget more in depth explanations. After the explanations, you praise God for not having to deal with such explanations. You ask, and then proceed to act like there were no questions. Did you really not want to know anything? You got a complicated answer because we wanted to give you the most complete answer you could get, covering all the many facets that exist. Is it necessary to have Apotheoun's understanding? Did we say it was? Then why does that become your argument against the teaching? One can have a simple understanding and be just fine. You sought depth; we have that, too.
