Is Gambling a Sin? What the Bible Actually Says About Betting, Casinos, Lotteries, and the Desire to Get Rich.

Should Christians Imitate God’s Anger and Jealousy? Christians are repeatedly told to imitate God. Paul writes, “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children” (Ephesians 5:1). Peter similarly calls believers to follow the example of Christ (1 Peter 2:21), and Paul tells the Philippians to have the same attitude that was in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5). If Jesus overturned tables in the Temple, should there be occasions when His followers do the same? Not necessarily.

Is Purgatory Biblical? What 1 Corinthians 3 Actually Means. The Roman Catholic doctrine of purgatory teaches that people who die in God’s grace but remain imperfectly purified undergo a final purification after death before entering the fullness of heaven.

The Catholic Catechism connects this doctrine with a “cleansing fire,” prayers for the dead, indulgences, and works performed on their behalf.
