Diosdado, Most on this forum would say no. Catholics of course have believed in it since apostolic times. It is the final stage of cleansing or sanctification before entering into the presence of God in heaven, which nothing unclean can enter (Rev 21:27). The usual text cited for this is 1 Cor 3:10-15 along with others such as Matt 18:21-35. Obviously those who deny purgatory would dispute these interpretations. Purgatory like Trinity is not a word found in scripture, but which some feel is illustrated or implied. You may wish to look at this link to see the historical roots of belief in this doctrine documented by the early Churh Fathers. http://www.catholic.com/library/Roots_of_Purgatory.asp Ultimately you will have to explore both sides of the issue yourself and come to your own conclusion. I suspect there may be something to see in the forum archives also if you search under the word purgatory. Emmaus |

3 | purgatory is it true? | Matt 22:32 | John Reformed | 38407 | ||
Dear Diosdado, The reason for the existance of the protestant denominations is directly linked to Roman Catholic doctrines such "Purgatory". Rome insisted on "faith plus works" as the way of salvation. The Protestants insisted on Faith alone in Christ alone by Grace alone." Let me know what you find out from Galations. Welcome to the Forum,and may the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth. John Reformed I suggest you read Paul's letter to the Galations. |
