Where Can I Find Purgatory In Scripture? | William Albrecht

On November 2nd—All Souls' Day— we are releasing our newest Emmaus Academy course with Catholic Apologist William Albrecht called "Purgatory: Refined by Fire." You can watch this new course with a free trial to our All-Access Membership:

Purgatory is one of the most misunderstood dogmas of the Catholic Faith. Many accuse the belief of Purgatory as "unbiblical" or even contradicting Christ's Salvific work on the Cross. In this new course, Catholic convert and apologist William Albrecht brings clarity to this dogma and explains how Purgatory is very much Biblical.

In this episode, William Albrecht explains the premise and objectives of the course as well as walks us through:
- the main pillars of the dogma of Purgatory
- the purpose of Purgatory
- where Purgatory is mentioned and explain in Scripture

To watch the rest of the course, stay tuned for November 2nd!

The #1 reason why I believe in Purgatory is because nothing unclean can enter Heaven... so if you die and aren't completely like Jesus, thank GOD for Purgatory, because without that, we would go to hell because none of us are ever going to be like Jesus. Protestants think they can do evil crap and then repent and die and go straight to Heaven; but you died in a certain venial sinful state, you can go to Heaven, but you have stains on your white garments... you gotta get cleaned up, purge those filth left on your soul.

Excellent! God bless William Albrecht for the treasure he is to the Catholic faith. God bless Emmaus Academy !

[markrichards]

That was very helpful. Thank you for bringing that to light. I always say Hail Mary's for "the souls in Purgatory, especially for those who have no one to pray for them."

I just read today in 1 Samuel 2 the Lord sends to Sheol and brings back up.

Emmaus Academy has helped me immensely. This course will be another step in that process, looking forward to the release.

St Augustine recounts in the Confession that his mother, Monica, wished to have Masses offered for her soul after her death. Clearly, in the 4th century, St Monica believed in Purgatory.

His YouTube content on Patristic Pillars is outstanding. He also creates Spanish language content. Thanks be to God.

We are purified by His work on the cross. The disciples didn't go purgatory as they were already clean.

The Bible is the inspired word of God
1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” 
 Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior 
 Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 
1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”
 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 
Mark 7:7. “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 
John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” 
1 Timothy 4:3 “Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” 
2 Timothy 3:15 “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”  
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 
 1Ti 3:2 - A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 
 Tit 1:7 - For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God;
 Hosea 6:6 “For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.” 
 Rev 3:16 - So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Better to be a born again Christian and find a good home Bible study group.

So this will be a series about Purgatory here on this channel? Can't wait!

[mandycurcio]

I won’t lie but I’m
Absolutely petrified of purgatory.. I attend confession regularly, however many yrs ago I saw leaflets in my church with images of purgatory it has never left my mind they were absolutely horrifically frightening..

[latinouss]

You can’t also find it when you die and God willing you die in grace.

[bethanyrose]

Catholic teachings make sense. It has reason, logic wisdom, intellect and faith.

[CarolynLIVE]

Great material! Keep up the excellent work please. It’s a breath of fresh air watching knowledgeable Catholic apologists defend the faith accurately and succinctly. 🙏🏻✝️🕊️

[Quis-ut-Deus-]

William is the man! It's great to learn so that we can understand and explain to others better.

[pradeepmalkani]

William is a humble man. So impressive, he is now featuring on St. Paul's Centre podcasts. See him with the Bruce Lee apologist Sam Shammoun. Praise God.

[Bellaluccaminis]

Pugatory is the Divine Mercy of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

To how long we stay in purgation depends on unconfessed sins we've committed before our death. That is why, it's advised we go to confession at least once a month to cleanse our heart and our soul and be close to Jesus always.

Jesus, I trust in you.❤️‍🔥
