My Sister talked to someone, (in person..not a 900 number), who purported to talk to angles and "know" stuff. She sez that this fella, without prior knowledge of her at all, nailed her life, every detail of what happened and what would happen. Before the end of the talk he volunteered that Your Uncle Mac still had a couple hundred years to work off against his suicide, then he would be ok....... A trick? My completely sane and reliable Sister is lying? There's no way a stranger could have known about our Uncle shooting himself like that....... This guy does business out of Florida somewhere.......

Second, angels are GOD's servants - not ours.
Third, 900 number = pay per call/minute = that which is from God is NOT for sale.
Wouldn't the "work it off program" be the purgatory some speak of?C. Cash wrote:I agree...yes, some do have spiritual eyes to see that others don't. This mans statement is in error though. If God has a "work it off" program, why would He send his Son, whom He Loves, to die a most horrible death at the hand of a bunch of animals on the Cross? No way Jose'. This fellow may have gotten some of his facts right but it does not agree with scripture at all. As Ambracol said...not all angels are from above and you have to watch for darkness maquerading as light. Not saying this fella is that for sure, but be careful. We are told to stay away from mediums and spritists also.
OK. My bad. I saw "900 number" and didn't catch the "NOT".BlaineG wrote:First: So trueAmBraCol wrote:First, remember - not all angels are from above.BlaineG wrote:I swear to God this is exactly as it was related to me by my very reliable sister:

Second: Ummmm....too much evidence that the earth-bound have had help or at least intervention...
Third: This was not a 900 number![]()
I'm skeptical, too........But, this didn't have the flavor of a stage act or parlor trick...
Should one turn down comfort because it might be from below, and how could one make that determination? When we pray, does the Dark One answer sometimes? I don't think anyone down here can know any of this....
+1 and +1 for Grizz, too.C. Cash wrote:This is where you get into the debate between Denominations and I don't want to burn bridges between Brothers. But since I don't think it is a point of salvation, I will state my opinion. The idea of Purgatory in this context is not found in the Bible from what I've read/studied, but is a later Church teaching. We're told that He paid it all for us throughout the NT, if we accept it. They don't talk about His paying some and then us owing some too. In fact, the utter impossibility of us earning it is more the theme. Now boys, go easy on me and I'm not questioning anyones faith here. I'm just going from the what I've read in the Bible. Thats how I see it, but you may see it differently.
"...who [the Son] being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high...." )Hebrews 1:2; emphasis added).Swampman wrote:It would have been nice to have a Biblical reference for purgatory. Since one doesn't exist, I guess we will have to speculate.
You priced bibles lately?AmBraCol wrote:First, remember - not all angels are from above.BlaineG wrote:I swear to God this is exactly as it was related to me by my very reliable sister:

Purgatory is still acknowledged by Catholicism, but Limbo has been quietly dropped from teaching if I recall correctly, although I don't think the Church has taken an official position on it. In other words, it won't be taught at Catechism class but the Pope doesn't care if you believe in it.SMP wrote:Not to hijack the thread but the comments on purgatory got me thinking,didn't the Catholic Church abolish the belief of purgatory some time ago.I'm a Catholic,not active in the Church,but I thought purgatory wasn't acknowledged anymore.Am I correct?
