Also in the book of Maccabees it says was not Abraham found faithful when tested and it was reckoned to him as
righteousness first Maccabees
252 so Maccabees is another book see these were written a lot of these were written in between when the prophets were silent
Okay, Malachi after Malachi was written there was 400 years of silence
So the Catholics will take the books that were in between and try to say that those were scripture
So and then it says all giving will cover all of your sins, well, I guess we don't need Jesus then, huh?
That's basically that's basically what they're saying, right?
So also the non biblical doctrine of purgatory is taught in the Apocrypha
Okay, you're not gonna find it anywhere in the Old Testament. You're gonna find it anywhere in the New Testament
You know why people believe Abraham's bosom why they believe?
Purgatory because it's in the Apocrypha and so I'm going to read you a few a
few things from second Maccabees 12
So it says so they all blessed the ways of the Lord the righteous judge who reveals the things that are hidden and they turned
To supplication praying that the sin that they had been commit that they had
Been committed might be wholly blotted out the noble Judas
Exhorted the people to keep themselves free from sin
For they had seen with their own eyes what had happened the result of the sin of those who had fallen
He also took up a collection man by man to the amount of 2,000 drachmas of silver
And sent it to Jerusalem to provide for a sin offering and doing this
He acted very well and honorably taking account of the resurrection
For if he were not
Expecting that those who had fallen would rise again. It would have profit. It would have been
superfluous and
Foolish to pray for the dead
But if he was looking to the splendid reward that was laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness
It was a holy and pious thought therefore he made atonement for the dead so that they might be delivered
From their sin, what is that teaching? It's teaching that you can pray for the dead and get him out of purgatory
That's where the Catholics get it from second Maccabees 12 41 through 45 so stinkin lie
The Bible says it's the point of the man wants to die and after this the judgment there is no purgatory
You either wake up in your in your in your in heaven or you wake up in your in hell
Two places you can go that's it so second Maccabees doesn't make the cut for scripture
