But what if the person dies in his/her
unforgiveness? Would he or she end up in heaven, hell or somewhere in
between?
Love,

Hi again Caroline:
I say yes - that is, salvation is walking in
forgiveness toward others because when we will not forgive them God is
unwilling to forgive us. Reaping what one sows is a scriptural
principle. Resentment leads to bitterness and a root of bitterness
springing up defiles many. I don't see Paul's gospel as different from
that of Christ - it's all grace by way of faith which is the gift of God so
none of it depends on us alone but we must cooperate and do things God's way.
As for purgatory - that is a RC invention and is not scriptural at all.
The Matt 18 person is imprisoned by the powers of darkness and stays there
until he is willing to repent of unforgiveness and forgive the one sinning
against him. jt
