Pay Me Now, Pay Me Later

for me a Catholic Bible and Pramada, seal and stamped. I'm reading two sentences from the book of Tobit.

Tobit chapter 4 verses 10 will be my first sentence.

For almsgiving delivers from death and saves men from passing down to darkness.

The second sentence I'd like to read is from Tobit chapter 12 verses 9.

Almsgiving saves from death and purges every kind of sin.

My question is, this is a book that the Catholics have held as being inspired.

Given the emphasis you have made with purgatory, it appears to me that every good

Catholic seems to have the option, instead of going to purgatory, to perhaps write a check or do alms of some kind that will also purge them.

Yeah, it's pay now or pay later, very simply. So you can write a check now to avoid purgatory?

The New Testament tells us charity covers a multitude of sins. What is that fee? Because I think you'd get a few checks probably.

What would that amount be? Okay, Reverend White, do you have a response as well?

The term charity is actually the term love, not the giving of money in the New Testament.

And what can I say? If our view of sin is such that giving alms can cover sins, why did

Christ die upon the cross? Next question.
