DOCTRINE OF PURGATORY


DOCTRINE OF PURGATORY
SCRIPTURAL BASIS

In the New Testament, texts such as Matthew 5:26, 12:32 and 1Corinthians 3:10-15, are seen as the minor scriptural basis for Purgatory. The words of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew leave the possibility that sins are forgiven not only in this world but also in the next.

"... Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven,but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come..." ( Matthew 12:32)

On the other hand, Joseph Ratzinger commenting on 1Cor 3:10-15 argues that purgatory is effected by the transforming power of the Lord himself who is the "fire judgement". In other words, purgatory is a process through which the human person is made conformable with Christ, God, and the entire community of the redeemed. Confir the notion of Sheol still active in the New Testament (Luke 16:19-31).

NO CHILD HAS FAILED ...

After the KCPE results were announced yesterday (28th March 2022) by the Education CS, many parents, teachers and pupils are seen celebrating because of the "good grades"... However, there's that band of innocent girls and boys who got less than the "expected marks". They have no one to celebrate them, they are in "trauma", some lack the sense of belonging... Very. Rev.

Thomas Nyutu is a Priest in the Catholic Diocese of Nakuru- Kenya. He holds MA in Linguistics from The University of Nairobi-Kenya. Dear Parents/guardians...
