@karysma maybe it's the first level of hell. A little punishment or cleansing maybe. The Apostles Creed after was crucified and died we say He descended into hell and arose again three days later... That's when he went to get those that carried Adam's sin or original sin I've been told. Those that didn't have baptism and they were the ones he came to die for along with the living. The forgiveness was for His life and our. That's why the crucifix is important to us not just the cross. It was Him suffering on it for us. Amen. I'm preaching to the choir. Can I have a witness please.

@karysma] yes it's an ass whooping it's suppose to hurt but I don't think physically I think it's not seeing him and not finally getting the truth will be the punishment aka the light or dark.

@karysma I just finished reading 1 Corinthians 3 and did not see purgatory in it..
Basic Christianity 101.. The LORD Jesus died on the Cross to Atone for the sins of each and every person that believes Him and trusts that His Atonement pays the penalty for all their sins..
Do you agree with the above statement? I do..
But there are some who do not believe in the above statement of faith and who preach that you have to go after death to a place to have your sins purged, that you have to suffer for your own sins in purgatory and they also encourage others to pray prayers thinking the prayers are part payment for the penalty of sins to reduce the time their loved ones spend getting their sins purged in purgatory..
Believing in purgatory is declaring that the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is inadequate and does not pay for the sins of believers.. That Jesus suffered death for nothing..

@Adstar I totally agree with the Basic Christian 101. I know I've seen it somewhere in the Bible where it describes purgatory. I'll be sure to post it when I find it. I might have misunderstood that particular scripture and should have researched but at the time I was a bit alarmed and just wanted to forget about it.
