Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of Dr. Argimiro Ruano on Escathology truly impacted me. And when I read his "Cuadernos de Teología Pastoral" / Notebooks about Pastoral Theology, I decided to base my doctoral thesis on them, especially on the topic of Biblical Escathology, which has caught the attention and attracted the interest of readers - not only of Christian readers, but of everyone who seek knowledge about "the hereafter", about what takes place after death. In accordance with Robero Fernández Valladares, Professor at the University of Puerto Rico, this work "is essential to learn the theological and biblical foundation regarding Purgatory as well as Martin Luther's thoughts about this doctrine". Dr. Fernández also states: "The analysis of faith and of purification by faith is one of the best parts of the book, above all the explanation of these two principles: 'believing to have been justified is not to be justified' and 'faith does not justify, but the grace that comes from faith' [...]. This is a fundamental book for every believer as well as for pastoral leaders in our communities" (El Visitante de Puerto Rico / Puerto Rico's Visitor, Oct. 19, 1991, p. 19).

Download or read book The Biblical Basis for Purgatory written by John Salza and published by TAN Books. This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus taught us about it, and for centuries the Church has faithfully defined and defended it. Protestants deny it even exists, while many Catholics fundamentally misunderstand it. It is Purgatory: that place of purifying penance where souls saved by Christ are made perfect and acceptable to spend life eternal in heaven. In The Biblical Basis For Purgatory, author and apologist John Salza (Why Catholics Cannot Be Masons) offers the definitive scriptural explanation of this distinctively Catholic doctrine. Building on the teachings of Christ and St. Paul, he shows how the existence of a place of temporal punishment after death is not only a logical extension of what we know about the reality of sin and God's justice, but is also a supreme expression of God's love and mercy. Although Purgatory is a place of mercy, its pains are real, and they are severe. This book does more than defend and explain Purgatory it provides a solid plan, drawn from the Church's perennial wisdom for conquering our sins by God's grace, while still on earth.

It reveals that great powers are given to the 'adversary' in these times and speaks of the Great Tribulation and of the Birth pangs of the Great Apostasy - the first being the 'diabolic pandemic', the second birth pang being the fall out of a diabolic nature - of which we are at the threshold! This book also contains prophetic messages of the impending Schism of the Catholic Church and of the Persecution that will befall to purify the Church before the promised Era of peace! In revealing the spiritual battle that we are currently engaged in, the messages contained in this book give us a spiritual roadmap for the times ahead and calls for the proclamation of the fifth Marian Dogma: 'Mary, Mediatrix of All Grace, Co-Redemptrix and Advocate'.

The second part reveals precious insights into the realms of Purgatory, of Souls serving Divine Justice and of the process required to attain their Crown of Glory! Readers are advised to exercise spiritual discernment as some of these prophecies and warnings to be fulfilled soon are quite disturbing! Some of their consequences can be mitigated if we choose to pray, offer up our suffering and convert!

Download or read book Visions of Purgatory written by Anonymous and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visions of Purgatory offers a surprisingly sober and clear account of purgatory that offers more consolation than fear before this great mystery of God’s mercy. Translated from French, the text was written in the latter half of the twentieth century by an anonymous author and contains a private revelation of purgatory with annotations from the Magisterium of the Church and the teachings of the saints, above all St. Thomas Aquinas. It is organized into three parts: the first part explains the role of private revelations and how to gain profit from them; the second part contains doctrinal teachings that form a kind of treatise on purgatory; the third and final part is dedicated to revelations of souls in purgatory. Details concerning the life of the author have been omitted in order to maintain the author’s anonymity.
Download or read book The Purification Fire of Purgatory written by Stephen M Kelly and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Catholic doctrine, purgatory is a temporary cleansing process that some souls go through when they pass away before experiencing the fullness of paradise. It is thought to be a location where the souls of individuals who have passed away in God's mercy but still have unresolved temporal punishment from forgiven mortal sins or the load of venial sins are cleansed and readied for the beatific vision of God. As a place of purification and preparation for eternal communion with God, purgatory is viewed as a demonstration of God's kindness and love. It is not a punishment facility like hell, but rather a cleansing and healing process. According to Catholic doctrine, this purification is required since only the clean can enter God's presence. Purgatory's duration is not described or quantified in terms of time on earth. Each soul's fate is thought to be unique, ultimately determined by God's justice and the condition of the individual's soul. The living's prayers, intercessions, and offerings can lessen the torments endured by the souls in purgatory and facilitate their ascent to celestial glory. Catholics are exhorted to offer Masses, engage in penance, pray for the souls in purgatory, and engage in various types of spiritual their devotion on my behalf. The basis for this custom is the conviction that those in purgatory can benefit spiritually from our prayers and deeds because the Church is a communion of saints that includes the faithful on earth, in heaven, and in purgatory. Purgatory's ultimate objective is to purify the soul, free it from all lingering sin and earthly attachment, and position it to completely embrace the perfect unity with God in heaven. The soul is purified by God's grace and brought closer to its everlasting destiny during this time of hope and transformation. Get a copy now!!!!

Download or read book Four Views on Hell written by John F. Walvoord and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most contemporary Christians acknowledge the doctrine of hell, but they’d rather not think about how God punishes the wicked. The authors of Four Views on Hell meet this subject head-on with different views on what the Scriptures say. Is hell to be understood literally as a place of eternal smoke and flames? Or are such images simply metaphors for a real but different form of punishment? Is there such a thing as “conditional immortality,” in which God annihilates the souls of the wicked rather than punishing them endlessly? Is there a Purgatory, and if so, how does it fit into the picture? The interactive Counterpoints forum allows the reader to see the four views on hell—literal, metaphorical, conditional, and purgatorial—in interaction with each other. Each view in turn is presented, critiqued, and defended. This evenhanded approach is ideal for comparing and contrasting views in order to form a personal conclusion about one of Christianity’s key doctrines. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Bible and Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series.

Download or read book Heaven Hell and Purgatory written by Jerry L. Walls and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will heaven be boring? How can a good and loving God send people to hell? Is there such a place as purgatory? If so, why is it necessary, if we're saved by grace? Questions about the afterlife abound. Given what is at stake, they are the most important questions we will ever consider. Recent years have seen a surge of Christian books written by people claiming to have received a glimpse of the afterlife, and numerous books, films, and TV shows have apocalyptic or postapocalyptic themes. Jerry Walls, a dynamic writer and expert on the afterlife, distills his academic writing on heaven, hell, and purgatory to offer clear biblical, theological, and philosophical grounding for thinking about these issues. He provides an ecumenical account of purgatory that is compatible with Protestant theology and defends the doctrine of eternal hell. Walls shows that the Christian vision of the afterlife illumines the deepest and most important issues of our lives, changing the way we think about happiness, personal identity, morality, and the very meaning of life.
