Purgatory (Figuring out the truth from what little we know.)

Purgatory is not mentioned in the Bible, therefore it does not exist.

If you want to know more about my theories

If these "theories" of yours is stuff that the Bible says, that means your theories are superfluous. If your theories contradict the Bible, that means your theories are false.

I will also take questions about different religions, like Wicca and Atheism.

Neither one of these is a religion. Wicca is just a bunch of New Age weirdos pretending they know something about something, ant atheism (note the lowercase) doesn't even pretend to be a religion.

3: I was raised to.

Well, at what age did you realize, then, that Jesus is the only way (John 14:6)?

4: ... I'm not. Azrael is the name of one of the angels, the angel of death, who guides people to heaven after they meet their end.

There's no Azrael in my KJV Bible, therefore, I call baloney.

Why would He make us curious, if not to leave us puzzles and riddles to solve?

To fill up Hell, which He created for the curious.

1 Corinthians 3:18-20
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

I'm not trying to debate anyone. I'm also just mentioning possibilities that can be found in the gaps of the Bible.

Are you calling the Word of God, imperfect? Blasphemy!!

Re: Finding the pearls of truth by sifting through the lies

What our church does is we recite Bible verses and have activities for certain holidays, such as an annual Easter Egg Hunt and a Secret Santa Christmas Party. The most we do is simply dumbing down the language for the little kids who don't understand all the big words.

So you run a Church for retards. No point in that son, they are all going to Hell anyway. Sort of like the crazy lady, Lumpkin, she saves her garbage. No point to it. It has no value, smells and at some point the burden of disposal will fall to others.
There is no reason to dumb down the Holy Bible. It was written for the lowest common denominator.

I'm not trying to debate anyone. I'm also just mentioning possibilities that can be found in the gaps of the Bible. And I'm not flaming anyone. Along with that, I run a church of my own.

What gaps are you referring to? There are no blank pages in the Bible(KJV1611).

When I say 'little kids' I'm referring to the 2-5 year old children who not only don't have a very large vocabulary yet, but , because they're little kids, have the attention span of a goldfish.

Speaking of having the attention span of a goldfish, have YOU got it through your head yet that the King James Version 1611 Holy Bible is the ONLY book you should be reading for your entry into eternity?

And that is what the rod is for. How often do you use the rod with the children? How often do you show your love to them by hitting them hard where it hurts, as commanded by the Bible?

Re: Finding the pearls of truth by sifting through my own lies

Here in godless New York we have scads of new age gatherings, and all of them are claiming to answer questions for which they have found no answer. Fools one and all.

Despite having cutesy names like The Fishbowl or The Future Ark, they spout off nonsense like Jesus being an elf and God loves everyone and Jesus smoked weed with His followers. Fools one and all.

You have been told the source of all answers is The Word of God. If you choose not to believe that you will be doomed to eternity in the bottomless pit where you will forever wish you had listened to us.

Why not just let God have His way with you and share Heaven with us? That’s my choice and it should be yours. I will pray for you.

Babies of that age are incapable of using free will to commit to Jesus. If they die, they are going to Hell. There is no point in expending any effort on them until they are productive Christians.
Matthew 3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
Matthew 3:6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
(They confessed their sins - so they couldn't have been infants)

Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
(Jesus went up - so he wasn't an infant)

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
(first they repent - then they were baptized. Baptism is for remission of sins, not as prevention)

Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
(first they believed - then they were baptized)

Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Acts 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
(Verse 12: Men and women - but no children)

Acts 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

Acts 18:8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

Might I point out a gold fish has the attention span of a 13 year old, they just dont care.
