I am concerned. I have used this bible and reference materials for years and just recently received a new phone and had had to reinstall this. That’s when I came across the website for the first time and then the first article “survey of purgatory. ” Is this a catholic bible study/site or based on Catholic teachings. Purgatory is definitely not a biblical doctrine. I was about to begin to support this ministry, but first I require some answers. Thanks for your help.

HI Steve, See Paul’s comment on http://www.myswordmodules.com/hell/binet-e-purgatory-surveyed/ and my response. It is the very same answer. I will repeat it here.
The answer is very simple. First of all, as a library I include works by people with views I do not agree with, for example cults, other denominations, atheists, etc. Although I do not agree with their position, I cannot study and answer their position without “original works”, i.e. works written by these people, for example, Ellen White of Seventh Day Adventists. So although I do include them, I want to clearly label them before you use them. (Other Bible software websites do the same, but they do not label them clearly).
Secondly, this particular work I felt was valuable because not being Catholic, I don’t know much about it except what I have read and this would give me a survey of that material without having to go any further. That is valuable in itself. I label these works as Catholic, Jehovah’s Witness, even some Mormons, etc. because I see some usefulness in the work as far as studying their position. I have a Mormon work on how to teach a Sunday School lesson on twmodules.com, and again, I do not see where being a Mormon detracts so much from what he says.
If you do not want to download the work, don’t. Thanks for writing. – David Cox
