Thank you for being a Catholic defender.
This channel helps me to be a faithful catholic.

I'm a Lutheran and this is the first time I've heard this explanation about purgatory. Many Catholics appeal to II Maccabees to justify this doctrine. You make the case in 1 Corinthians and it gave me something new to think about. In these passages you know the Protestant understanding, but for me you get points for defending the argument in the text of 1 Corinthians instead of 2 Maccabees.

Thank you for explaining this. I left the Catholic years many years ago but after following your channel along with some others to better understand what I was taught as a child, I have felt drawn to return.

God sanctifying us at baptism. And we are being cleansed by God in Purgatory. Temporal punishment. The foundation is indeed God.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord

The concept of purgatory is rooted in Judaism. Chabad/Hassids for example describes purgatory as a washing machine where one is purified and made holy before entering into Sheol to await the Messiah who will open heaven. When a soul enters the realm of the dead, it either sinks down into the hell of the damned or it floats up as it purifies and eventually enters Sheol. Sheol is the limbo of the patriarchs aka Abraham's bosom. Recall Jonah, he entered Sheol as a righteous person for 3 days. It is the upper compartment of the realm of the dead. For christians Christ has already opened heaven, when we die and receive judgement we either go directly to heaven in the case of Saints or we go to purgatory to be purified before entering heaven or we go to hell.

I’m subscribing! I appreciate the digestible nature in which you break down the scripture. The pin-point topics help someone like me, a Protestant, adhere more to the scripture (contrary to popular opinion) and less to “interpretation, ” being that humans are fallible. There is an authority present in the Catholic Church (that is given by God and can be traced back to scripture) that I think is missing from the Protestant church - which is crazy to say. Don’t get me wrong, I believe pastors to be leaders, but I do feel a missing historical element. I plan on attending a Mass soon to hear the difference in a priest delivering a homily vs our sermons that are given by pastors. If you could pray for me that I come with an open heart and open mind to receive the word there, and for my own self to be still and quiet in body and mind, that I may be led by The Holy Spirit. I’m still on the journey of discovering truth (how broad, I know), I’m not ready to say Catholicism is that truth. But I’m always open to learning more about the history of Christ and getting a better grasp on the word of God.

Thank you brother, God bless you abundantly for your good definition regarding purgatory.

[rjhayplanta]

Amen!!now i understood what purgatory is..thank you😇☝🏾

[adrianpaneda]

@voiceofreason It seems Saint Paul is talking about the day of the Lord. And in Matthew chapter 5:21-26 the Lord is talking about forgiving one another and it sounds nothing like he is talking about purgatory

[petermuneme]

This definition was excellent to help me, new to Catholicism, understand as well as the verses that I can find to explain it. And to share with others I'm trying to help to understand Catholic Christian ideas. Thank you for all your videos, they are excellent.
