Jesus's blood covers all, no waiting required.

Isaiah 6:6–7: “Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”” Doesn’t this passage obliterate the purgatory claims? You do not need any amount of time to be purged of your sins. As soon as you die, your fate is sealed.

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this

[flimflammer]

"Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and Whose sins you retain are retained." And so Jesus establishes Reconciliation.

[Creole-Cartel]

Martin Luther had it wrong as well because he was an Augustinian Monk. Check out Martin Luther’s 95 Thesis, pure heresy and Not of GOD✝️

[theticoboy]

The concept or biblical foundation is there for those with ears to hear. (1) God can purify Christians of their desire to sin. (2) No one in heaven will desire to sin. See Rev 21:17 & Matt 5:28. (3) Some Christians still desire sin at the moment of death. (C) Therefore, some Christians will be purified of the desire for sin after death but before they enter heaven.

1 Cor 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

Completely false. The Septuagint included the "apocrypha" and was accepted as scripture by the Jews living in Alexandria. Just because Eastern European Jews who lived around Luther didn't have it in their canon doesn't mean it's not inspired scripture. For whatever reason, Frank is super ignorant of church history as most Protestants are. Luther removed books from what was the universally accepted Christian canon for 15 centuries. Rewrite history all you want, Frank.

The ministry of Watchmen Nee and Witness Lee also teaches purgatory, but they call it ''summer school'' and deny purgatory when its literally the same thing they teach just under a different name.

[TheRastacabbage]

Purgatory is a misunderstanding of what is actually taught in scripture, which is spirit prison

[michaelyolch]

I’d say that EARTH is our “halfway house!” Come to the Lord before you leave this house!

[cupofjotv]

Not true, the Jewish sects that did accept it mostly became Christian, the other Jews only established their canon in 200ad and didn’t accept those books because they didn’t see them as divine since it led people to Christ and not Judaism.

[dannylinc]

Plato. That's the origin I found for the concept

[nickfranco]

I think a lot of people get the idea of purgatory from sheol, which is in the scriptures.

[aidan.petros]

It comes from 2 Maccabees.

It was part of the Christian Old Testament until 500 years ago when Marin Luther decided to remove it. The canon of the Hebrew Old Testament was put together by the rabbis following the death of Christ (around 100 AD). Yes, it was put together by the people that rejected Christ as the Messiah and the reason booms like Tobit, Baruch, etc were omitted was because they were written in Greek and the Jewish canon only accepted books written in Hebrew.

It was always and still is part of the Christian New Testament.

Martin Luther also wanted to remove New Testament books which did not agree with his theology. These included the books of James, Hebrews, Revelations, etc.

Purgatory is also mentioned in the New Testament under 1 Corinthians 3:13-15, 1 Peter 1:6-7, Matthew 5:25-26.

Purgutory makes sense for Chrisrians who struggle with sin their whole life, who know that they are not worthy of salvation. In the first century, church leaders believed you lost salvation if you sinned once after Baptism. Look it up. Eventually, church leaders invented "reconciliation" and purgutory to solve the problem of damned christian believers. God is not mocked. He wiped out all of humanity once. The majority of us will be annihilated at judgement day. "Get away from me, I never knew you."

[kevbotech]

He doesn't understand purgatory at all. Protestants and Catholics will agree that purification needs to take place before you enter heaven. At what degree this happens Catholics and Protestants ewill disagree. Yes, Jesus forgives our sins, but we may still have an attachment to sin that purgatory serves as purification. It may be instantaneously or over a certain amount of time at the hands of God's judgment and control. It is biblical, and it was taught and handed down from the early Christians. It was believed by most Christians up until the time of Luther.

[senorsenior]

Yep. Actually, purgatory like indulgences were pretty good fundraising schemes. Those palaces, statues, and paintings were all pretty expensive.

[rhemalithduncan]

2 Corinthians 5:6-8, KJV
"Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: [7] (for we walk by faith, not by sight:) [8] we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
>>> You either are saved and go to heaven -- OR -- you are not saved and go to that place of departed spirits.

[honahwikeepa]

There's is no half way House. You're in, or you're not in.

[ryanstankewich]

The jews did accept the apocrapha, though, as well as early church fathers. The jews did not, however, accept the new testament.
