- Should The Bible wind Command not Catholic priests marry? Read 1Tim 4:3-4?
What are you trying to do, tell the truth?
Purgatory is not in writing, it is Catholic dogma extrabiblical …
Luther often spoke of Purgatory in his 95 Theses http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text … …
Note that the Catholics who support this should use a Bible, and certainly not to use references from the King James Bible reference, or any Greek or Hebrew text in the original manuscripts …
NO Bible scholars outside of Catholicism that support this notion.
First, a definition is in order: What is Purgatory?
Purgatory is not Hell, minus a few torments and degrees Fahrenheit, which is not the sky, less joy. It is not a "final third" of souls. Purgatory is where souls are cleansed of whether the effects of sin before they can see the holy face of Almighty God. Revelation 21:27 tells us that "… nothing unclean shall enter [heaven]. "
Daniel 12:2, Matthew 12:32, 1 Corinthians 3:13-15, 2 Timothy 1:16-18, Hebrews 12:14, Hebrews 12:22-23, 1 Peter 4:6 and Revelation 21:10, 27 all speak of Purgatory in their telling of the need of purification, prayer for the dead, the preaching of Christ to the dead, or how nothing unclean will see God.
prayers for the dead (Tobit 12:12, 2 Maccabees 12:39-45),
Purgatory (Wisdom 3:1-7)
intercession of dead saints (2 Maccabees 15:14),
and the intercession of angels as intermediaries (Tobit 12:12-15).
Even the Talmud speaks of Purgatory:
Saturday 33b:
"The trial of the wicked in purgatory is twelve months."
Rosh Hashanah 16b-17a:
"It has taught the school of Shammai says:" There will be three groups on the Day of Reckoning (Yom haDin):
The fair will be fully recorded and sealed at once for eternal life. The wicked will be fully registered and sentenced both to Gehinnom, as they say: "And many who sleep in the dust of the earth rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and eternal rejection" [Daniel 12 : 2]. Among the Gehinnom go and stand and shout, as they say: "I will bring the third part through the fire, and improve as silver is refined and tested as gold is tested. It will call on my name and I will respond to them "[Zechariah 13:9]
Rabbi Shammai (50 BC - 30 AD), one of the two great masters of early Rabbinic Judaism, is also registered as Zechariah 13:9 construed as a reference to a state of purification after death. Isaiah 66:15-16 and Malachi 3:2-3 is interpreted in rabbinic literature as referring to the purgatorial process, and the same theme is reflected in Wisdom 3:1-7 and II Maccabees 12:43-45 both contained in the Deuterocanonical
That there are temporal effects of sin is evident if one considers that even those who have been baptized, who have a deep and intimate relationshp with Jesus who is "elected" or "saved / is saved," or what be subject to pain, work, death and disease.
The best way to understand the idea that it is already forgiven, but still have to be cleaned from the effects of sin is by analogy: imagine that you are the father of a 7-year-old boy who steals a chocolate bar from local supermarkets. The child is repentant, in tears, crying apology. You, being the good parent (as God is our Father!) Forgive that children love him and show him and his mercy. But being a good parent means that you are also fair and children are expected to return to the store. Purgatory is God's way of forgiving us, loving us, shows us his mercy and justice - and what makes us "back shop." Can you imagine what would happen to the son of a father who never that children are expected to "return the store" (especially when that same parent believed also that there was nothing that children can do to become "disinherited," as in "once saved, always saved" ; doctrine)?
Purgatory is His way of ensuring that Revelation 21:27 is true that there is nothing dirty and see the sky. It is only through the sacrifice of Christ that shows us this mercy! It is Christ and Christ alone Who allows us access to the Father.
There is a common misunderstanding of Protestant purgatory. At least one Protestant minister, John Wesley speaks of perfection in this life, but little as possible. He is one of the few who proclaim that one can be sanctified in this life and he left the Moravian Church on this issue after a reprimand by Count Zinzendorf to this teaching.
People already in purgatory due to the receipt of the supernatural in the eternal life to our souls through Baptism makes us part of Christ's body. Those in purgatory have accepted Christ through faith and not rejected by him unrepentant mortal sin. It is a place where one is purified by fire (Mal 3:2). Imagine the joy of being in purgatory, and know they are there because they have passed and the sentence is assured of being in the presence of God in heaven. Purgatory is not eternal destiny, there are only two, heaven or hell.
We must not think of purgatory as a kind of legal punishment for past sins, as they would under the old law. Those in purgatory and new creatures changed by the grace of Christ, are the adopted children and part of the family of God in purgatory receives a final cleaning of the discipline and preparation for the perfection of heaven. Catholics believe that sanctification is a process and not complete when it comes to beliefs. Therefore, purgatory is not a suggestion that the atonement of Christ is not sufficient, but we have not finished our sanctification by the grace of Christ.
Cleaning or sanctification is a gradual process and we must persevere to the end to be saved.
(DRB Mat 10:22) And ye shall be hated by all men for my name, but to persevere to the end will be saved.
(DRB Mat 24:13) But he who shall endure to the end will be saved.
(DRB Mar 13:13) And ye shall be hated by all men for my name. But that will last until the end will be saved.
Catholic soteriology recognizes that some of us the process was not completed with the death or who died with the unrepentant sin.
(Hebrews 9:27 DRB) And that is assigned to men once to die, but after this trial:
The verdict is our eternal destiny and those on whose behalf is the Lamb's book of life, heaven is assured. However, we know that one must be sinless to be in God's presence.
(1Ti 6:14 DRB) that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
It is possible that no one is willing to be in the presence of our Lord as they might be deficient in spiritual or temporal effects forgiven our sins in the soul which is necessary for some form of purification in order to enter heaven in the presence of God. Since this is a process of purgation is called purgatory, and in accordance with the prophecy of the prophet Habakkuk, who says that only the holy can enter heaven.
(Hab 1:13 DRB) Your eyes are too pure to see the evil, and you can not look to the iniquity. Why lookest you do unjust things, and your peace holdest harmdoers devoureth when the man who is more fair to him?
St. Paul also teaches a process of purgation which can involve suffering in the soul of Christians and in his first letter to the Church of Corinth, which describes the process of purgation after death.
(DRB 1 Cor 3:10) According to God's grace given to me as a wise architect I have laid the foundation and another builds thereon. But all men have in mind what is built thereon.
(DRB 1 Cor 3:11) For other foundation can no man, but what he states, that is Christ Jesus.
(DRB 1 Cor 3:12) But if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble:
(1 Cor 3:13 DRB) All men's work is manifested. For the day of the Lord shall declare, as evidenced in the fire. And the fire is every man's work, what type it is.
(DRB 1 Cor 3:14) If anyone's work abide, which has built on this, get a reward.
(DRB 1 Cor 3:15) If any work recording Mans, who shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, but so as by fire.
St. Paul speaks figuratively of the results of sin remaining in the soul is like the "wood, hay and straw and burned away in the final purification process that is received in the presence of the Lord. St. Paul also speaks of one of the works such as gold, silver and precious stones, which are refined and stored.

No, it's another man made doctrine.
Its one of their false gospels.
It is not a biblical concept
