Pattern of false teaching: take a doctrine, find a Bible passage with similar vocabulary, read the doctrine into the passage

Responding to Catholic Apologists on Purgatory 00:21:38 – 00:22:39

Hermeneutical critique applied more broadly

Mike identifies a common false-teaching pattern — imposing vocabulary similarity as if it equals doctrinal equivalence. Examples: Mormons using 'third heaven' (2 Cor 12) to support three degrees of glory; Mormons using the 'stick of Joseph' (Ezekiel) to claim the Book of Mormon is prophesied. Purgatory uses 'fire' as its hook into 1 Corinthians 3.
