That's all Jesus can do these days when they are trying to eliminate the Savior.
Evidently, you never read the Bible and especially the book of Revelation.

Many versions, all unconvincing but none as bad as the Christian god's: "Believe in me or burn in Hell for eternity."
You don't understand Christianity.
quote:
the acceptance or the rejection of God's grace depends entirely on the rational creatures; that God, like the sun, never stops shining on good or wicked alike; that rational creatures are, however, entirely free to accept or reject this grace and love; and that God in His genuine love does not force His creatures to accept Him, but respects absolutely their free decision. He does not withdraw His grace and love, but the attitude of the logical creatures toward this unceasing grace and love is the difference between paradise and hell. Those who love God are happy with Him, those who hate Him are extremely miserable by being obliged to live in His presence, and there is no place where one can escape the loving omnipresence of God.

I always thought the catholic concept of purgatory was a comforting one. While it is completely baseless in scripture, it solves the moral dilemma of what happens to people who are decent, but not perfect, flawed but not evil. It creates a framework where heaven and hell are for the best of the best in both directions and those in the middle can earn their way into either one. It provides opportunities for redemption even after death. It’s definitely a comforting philosophical tool, don’t you think?

And you don't understand logic. Luxuriate in your realm of faith while I do the thinking for you.

What thinking are you doing for me? I'm explaining to you some of the basic tenants of Christianity, but because you are militant against Christianity, you claim to know more?

Wouldn't an "English" Sentence, such as, "Go", be even shorter?
Even if you consider, "Go" as "You go",(which is implied), it is still shorter.
Also many of the conjugations of "to be" are shorter.
Such as...
I am
You are
He is
I was
They are
etc etc...
There exists even grammatical discussions over where, utterances such as "Hi" are complete sentences.
Not wanting do degenerate into such discussions, it is certainly understood, to be complete, by those who say or write it.
In other words, your original claim is incorrect.
It would be correct, if, you wrote that "Jesus wept", was the shortest sentence in The Bible

The standard for communion with God is perfection. We need to be absolutely perfect in our obedience to the law because that is what God has set as the standard. When we sin even once, we are no longer "good". Even the "good" things we do, if we don't do them by faith in Jesus, God doesn't accept them as acts of righteousness.
That's precisely why Christ had to become a man, obey the law perfectly on our behalf, and die an unjust death, so that He could be our representative and He could take on the penalty that our sins deserve. Christ is the solution to the problem of sin. His righteousness is the only that the Father accepts because His righteousness is the only righteousness there is.
Purgatory is a doctrine that denies the sufficiency of Christ's atoning work on the cross for sinners. If you can work your way to salvation, you don't need Christ's righteousness imputed to you and you don't need His mediatorial work on your behalf.
The solution is Christ: all need to put their trust in Him for salvation because no one comes to the Father except through (faith in) Him.

1 John 5:7, sounds pretty certain
So was Jesus praying to himself in the garden of Gethsemane?
When Jesus taught us how to pray to our heavenly father, in the name of Jesus Christ? How do you explain this if they are one and the same?
And Jesus being seated at the right hand of God after ascending to heaven?
