The Parable of The Dragnet (Mt. 13:47-50) (Part 5)

OBSERVATIONS (cont'd)  

• There is no truth in purgatory.
• Purgatory suggests a kind of second chance after death.
• The angels separated the wicked from the righteous.
•  There was no one left “in process.”
• The angels separated the wicked into the fire.
•  Fire, no fire.  Those are the two options (Lu 16:22-23).
• There are only two locations:  Heaven (a.k.a. Abraham’s bosom) and Hell (a.k.a. Hades).

• There is no perfect church.
• It consists of a mixture:  the good and bad exist together.
•  If only Anne Rice, Gandhi and other disillusioned people had understood this.
• Quote:  “If you find the perfect church, stay away so you don’t ruin it.”
