i don't think there is anything like purgatory..

Its One Heaven, One Hell

But.. Is hell really endless??

God should've made the place as a prison, you'll be jailed according to the sins you've committed i.e. If you steal meat from pot.. You'll just spend just 7days or more in hell which you'll be save later and go to heaven..
Or how do u see it??

lalasticlala, seun

Hahahahah, dis guy, i don reason like dat b4 oo bt we can't question God naa...he knoweth d best.

Bt saying der is no purgatory, wats ur proof of saying so

If there is anything called purgatory, the Rich man who died nd went to hell won't ve asked Abraham to send Lazarus to dip his fingers into water nd drop same onto his tongue..

Purgatory is antichrist...

Owk

Purgatory was never mentioned in the bible.

The doctrine of purgatory teaches that only the perfectly holy human can enter heaven upon death. Many die who have lived a good life but have the stain of non-mortal sins on their souls.

They won't go to hell because their sins aren't mortal, that is, death-dealing to their soul, yet they can't enter heaven to behold the face of God because only those without blemish can see him.

So, in this situation, the souls that die without mortal sins, but aren't yet perfect will subsist in a state of existence where they are purged of their remaining sins.

When they are clean and pure, heaven awaits them. Simple.

Is that so? So where was Abraham when the rich man was asking him for help?

Surely not hell and definitely not heaven...

OK.

He wasnt in hell because obviously there was that huge gulf between where he was and where the rich man was.

He wasnt in heaven because the words heaven wasn't used. It said Abraham's bosom. Now, let us ponder on this for a minute.

If at that time Abraham was in Heaven, then that means that those who died before the death of Jesus Christ could be admitted in Heaven. So what was the purpose of Jesus Christ's coming to earth to die for us if it wasn't to open the gates of heaven?

So obviously, Abraham wasn't in hell and he wasn't in heaven. So where was he right?

Well, the Catholic Church says that the souls of all good people who died before the Sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross were in a state of Limbo, waiting the coming of the messiah.

Well, my point is that, if there is another state of existence apart from the 3 we know, this material world of time and space, hell and heaven, then there must be some others that we don't even know about...including purgatory.

I doubt you'll find the word "purgatory" in the bible. Just like you won't find the words "Trinity", "Rapture" etc in the Bible.

But the basis for the existence of such a state of being like purgatory exists. Like the one I just explained to you about Lazarus and the rich man.

Then check the book of 1 John 5:17

It speaks of sins that are deadly and sins that do not lead to death.

Why categorise sins if they'll all be punished same way?

So obviously deadly sins aka mortal sins lead to hell, while those that are not deadly do not lead to hell. Yet if someone dies with the non deadly sin on his soul, he can't see God because nothing unclean can see God. Yet the sin he died with is not deadly.

In the book of Maccabees, a book removed by Martin Luther from the bible because it didn't support his views on Judgement and eternal life, you find Jews praying for the souls of the dead, which is a common practice then in the Jewish religion. Why pray for the dead if they are in heaven or in hell?
