8.8: Truth: The Great Catholic Scam - Indulgences - Money for Grace

One of the main points of conflict that Martin Luther had with the Catholic Church in 1517 was the sale of indulgences — basically money for grace. In other words, people supposedly could buy their way out of purgatory. They could purchase an indulgence for themselves or a loved one, living or dead. Yesterday, I wrote about penance being one of the 7 Sacraments that a Catholic believer has to go through to be allowed into heaven.  However, it never did guarantee a passage into heaven — just shorten  their sentence or time spent in purgatory — yet no one ever knew how  long it was. The goal of this series of articles and podcasts is to uncover where  these Catholic doctrines, traditions, rites and rituals first started.  I’m digging to reveal that they were inventions, ideas and creations by  human leaders and completely and totally unbiblical. That is, not found  anywhere in the Bible. Keep reading in my blog..... you've got to watch the video of these former Catholic nuns and priests and why the left Catholicism after discovering the truth.... If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.  Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus Christ is coming back soon! Are you ready? Soli Deo Gloria — To God Alone Be the Glory!
