Did you know that if you climb some steps, on your knees, over in Rome YOU can get 7 years off your time in Purgatory? You can also make the sign of the cross and bless your self and get 3.5 years off your time in Purgatory? If you do that with "Holy Water" you can double your time off to 7 years? Indulgences are ALIVE and WELL within the walls of the Roman Catholic Church but it is nowhere to be found within the scriptures!
According to the current Catholic Pope Francis you can even obtain an indulgence by way of TWITTER! According to an article in USA Today entitled " Following Pope Francis’s Twitter feed may be good for your soul – both in this life and the next." [Bob Smietana, USA Today, July 17, 2013]
"The spiritual leader of the Catholic Church plans to grant plenary indulgences by Twitter during the World Youth Day 2013 event, to be held July 23-28 in Brazil."
A Catholic can even give up their smokes or their booze for a day to obtain an indulgence, according to the former Pope John Paul II!
A NY Times articles from 1998 quoted Pope John Paul II regarding indulgences:
Pope John Paul II announced today that in celebration of entering the third millennium of Christianity, penitents who do a charitable deed or give up cigarettes or alcohol for a day can earn an ''indulgence'' to eliminate punishment on earth or in purgatory. [NY TIMES NOVEMBER 28 1998: "Urging Millennial Penitence, Pope Is Offering Indulgences For Roman Catholics"]
Tune in to this broadcast as I search the scriptures, and show YOU how YOU can get right with GOD, without worrying about obtaining any INDULGENCES for the rest of your life!
