God bless you, Bryan! Im an ex-Evangelical currently attending RCIA to convert to Catholicism. I have not regretted my decision since! 🙏
Awesome! So glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing and God bless you on your journey!
I was baptised earlier this year after completing RCIA.
You won't regret it, it only gets better. Especially if you keep studying!!
Me too!!
i m not religiouse. Just reding the Bible for truth
God bless. And help you to find the truth. As Jesus said. You will find the truth ...
Please open ur eyes and find the truth don't blieve to any person blindly.👍
The new way of spreading our Catholic theology and teachings love your work! Thx Bryan ♥️
Bryan thanks for the providing historical context to your topic, it only adds to an already interesting topic🕯👍🏼🕯
no, Purgatory is NOT in the bible. Roman Catholicism is NOT Christian. Salvation from sin is by Grace alone, through Faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, to the Glory of God alone. The cult of Rome preaches a false gospel that will condemn you to Hell. Escape as I did, over 25 years ago.

Yes, purgatory IS in the bible and Roman Catholicism IS CHRISTIAN. Salvation IS NOT BY GRACE AND FAITH ALONE, and also the doctrine of "sola scriptura is a protestant heresy, like the other things you mentioned too.
In Revelation iit's also clearly written that nothing imperfect will enter heaven. Most people don't die with any attachement to sin left. Furthermore Jesus Christ clearly described the purification of the soul in the parable of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18: 23 - 35. Paul also said that the work will be revealed with fire and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward, if any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though himself will be saved, BUT ONLY AS THROUGH FIRE, 1 Corinthians 3: 11 - 15.
@@56pjr Oops, the bible disagrees with you. James 2:24 It is NOT BY FAITH ALONE
I know if I have questions I can always go to one of your videos to find answers.
Thank you,
Try the Bible. Written by God and is the most read book in History 😉
Thank you so much for the light you cast on the darkness of my ignorance. I always find your talks very enlightening. Please keep on with the good work!!

@@CatholicTruthOfficialno. We are to be born again and live holy and be cleaned by the HOLY GHOST now. After death that is the END. You all believe lies.
Watching with my hubby. Excellent work Brian. Excellent. I wish you were here in England, Norwich
Awesome video and great explanation. Thank you so much you help me to become a stronger catholic. God bless you and your family 😊🙏
BRYAN thank you ,I have much to learn , please don't ever stop teaching Catholic Truth.
I wonder if people actually listen to the video before commenting. A lot of the issues raised about Purgatory are answered in the video I guess people just dont want to hear about it. Thanks for this video Brian God bless you and your ministry.
Exactly! The anti-catholic don't usually watch the video. They just go to the comment section. We started to delete some of their comments if they do not watfh the video because they're nothing more than troll comments.
You are 100 percent right Bryan. Many Protestants come on here to attack the Catholic faith rather than trying to learn.
Yes, it's quite clear that many non Catholics don't watch the video before commenting.
It's a well known phenomenon. Many people just head to the comments.
@@minterbell they delete a lot of my comments also
Do you have a shareable list of the library behind you? I love to read, and I love even more to read good Catholic literature. I would be ecstatic to have a reading list compiled from your library!
We do not. The closest thing we have is a video series giving our favorite books in different categories: apologetics, inspirational, spiritual, etc. Here is one if you are interested. ua-cam.com/video/eFED1oPzK5M/v-deo.html In the description section of the video, you can find the others.
@@CatholicTruthOfficialNO NOT BIBLICAL AT ALL
Great video. Thank you for your channel.
I dont mean to be disrespeckful to any religon but the truth is no one knows what comes after death. I know its all about faith.
But if we are all honest we really dont know. that is the only truth. we all fear death. and that says it all.
I have frequent conversations with Protestants and lately I've noticed an interesting trend. If you show them a verse in a standard Bible like the NIV that supports the Catholic curch, they immediately say my Bible is not the true Bible. Then, if you ask them what Bible they use, they won't tell you. I've come to the conclusion that they are so committed to their current beliefs, they do not want to hear anything that might contradict their beliefs. They are happy to continue believing what they have always believed, even it is not Biblical.
Sola scriptura is not even found in the Bible. The Catholic Church has an authority of its own. Even the earliest disciples of the 12 used the phrase "Catholic Church". For 350 years we did not have the Bible until Pope Damasus made it.
no, Purgatory is NOT in the bible. Roman Catholicism is NOT Christian. Salvation from sin is by Grace alone, through Faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, to the Glory of God alone. The cult of Rome preaches a false gospel that will condemn you to Hell. Escape as I did, over 25 years ago.
There no purgatory that is listed in the Holy Bible! The only way to Heaven is believing and excepting Christ. Jesus made that plain and simple in John 14:6 KJV. The apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:17 a person has to be reborn again to enter in the kingdom of God. I’m sorry to inform anyone there is no purgatory in the holy Bible I look for it multiple times from Genesis to Revelation. Please re-search people!!!

Thank you for the videos you make and everything you do brother. God bless you
Our Lady showed the Kibeho 's visionary 3 places:
1) where people were happy and singing
2) The other place where people were sad, but not as sad as the last one
3) Very sad people
Our Lady told her to never let go Jesus and pray a lot so she doesn't fall.
Our Lady also told her to follow what the church teaches.
I am quoting for what the visionary said, I had to watch her in 3 languages to make sure the translators didn't change what she said.
I was searching for mother Mary and I found her.
Our lady? Don't you mean satan?
@@morrisvalentneflatlander4784I'm sorry that you don't recognize Jesus's mother as your own mother even though Revelation says in chapter 12 I think verse 17 says the devil went off to make war against the rest of her children who keep the Commandments of her son Jesus christ. But I guess you don't have to keep the commandments of Jesus so therefore you're not her child.
Oh wait...
Colossians 1:21-23 NRSV-CI
[21] And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, [22] he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him- [23] PROVIDED THAT YOU CONTINUE SECURELY ESTABLISHED AND STEADFAST IN THE FAITH, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, became a servant of this gospel.
bible.com/bible/2015/col.1.21.NRSV-CI
@@tenabrae18 Revelation 12 17 reads completely different in the KJV the true perfect translation in the English language. The woman in Revelation is not Mary. The Woman is the Jews and her offspring is the church. So nice try there. Offering prayers to mary is offering prayers to satan because the bible is clear thou shalt have no gods before me mary is just like us a sinner in need of a savior who was saved by grace through faith alone. Mary is not my mother she is not the mother of God she does not make intercession Jesus does and she most definitely does not hear prayers. Veneration of mary is not a commandment. Luther, Huss, Knox, and Calvin figured this out the early church preached it and if you met Mary she would tell you to obey Jesus. If your church is not pointing to Jesus in all things it's satanic. Here's a better rosary for you hail satan of no grace the Lord has damned you cursed are the demons that fell with you as you're crushed under the foot of Lord Jesus
@@morrisvalentneflatlander4784protestans are more and more like Jehovah's witnesses, You got your own, different versions, congrats.
@@gda86pl no protestants all agree on the key things salvation is by grace alone through faith alone through Christ alone the Word alone and to God be the glory. Protestants reestablished the true gospel Jesus is the Son of God who paid the penalty of ALL sin past present and future on the cross. Who rose again on the third day and ascended into heaven through this all who place their faith in Him will be saved. Jesus did it all Jesus paid it all there are no works or sacraments or baptisms or true churches required. Jesus made intercession before the Father there is no need for mary there is no need for purgatory. All protestants believe these things from baptists to Lutherans. We are not like jehovas witnesses at all.
Thank you, I love that description
Your videos have been very helpful. I’ve always wanted to learn more about the Catholic Church, and your videos explain everything very well. I’m considering becoming Catholic.
So glad to hear that. So glad we could be of help. God bless you.
@@CatholicTruthOfficialpurgatory IS NOT BIBLICAL and it is a huge misinterpreting of scriptures and MISLEADING people
You can’t pray for the soul of someone once they have passed on. This is a lie. Satan sure love you guys but I guess HE has to deceive humanity somehow by going against what Jesus taught and twist and make his own GOSPEL
STRONG DELUSIONS
thank you for the message, it clear my concept on purgatory.
We learnt of Heaven and hell as children, purgatory shows us the mercy of almighty God because with the smallest stain on our souls we have no right to heaven, God has made provision for our cleansing.
God bless you, Bryan. Im a former cradle Catholic turned ecumenical universalist-leaning lukewarm Catholic. I've now become a passionate revert and I recently leaned on you heavily to rebut a pugnacious non-Catholic. I have become hyper-aware of the implications of my faith after a year of chastisement I'm grateful God sent to me. I always knew somehow that ours was right but I always lacked the time to do the hard work you have done. You have helped raise up a brother to defend the faith. Please remember me if this ever gets difficult. I'll promote your channel any chance I get.
Thank you ,you explained it perfectly.i hope alot of people witch this and see the truth. God bless you. Thanks again for sharing.
Thankyou for an excellent video on purgatory
Thank you Bryan, you presented the concept of purgatory succinctly and clear. Catholicism is biblical and logical, thank God.
Catholicism logical? Catholicism Scriptural?
@@user-hd1qx2bd1r after listening to Bryan’s explanation, prove him wrong, explain away the verses Bryan quotes. Our Lord says some sins can be forgiven in this life and the next life. Sins against the Holy cannot be forgiven in the next life. Some of us may be saved, but as through fire. No sin is permitted by God in heaven. So, should you be God’s friend in this life, but you tend to get angry or swear or mistreat some people, it is logical that there has to be a state of purgation between this life and heaven.
@@OzCrusader Oh Cruz, I was a Catholic for over 50 years, but we were all taught wrongly and UnScripturally. And it was on purpose to keep us trapped. You're just hearing him repeat what you have already been taught to think, so of course you'll agree with it. I could open the Bible and show him where he's been taught wrongly and not of the Actual Word of God's, but he won't accept the challenge. The Pope himself is in yet another money laundering scandal, ( I lost count long ago) of millions gone somewhere, and it was someone in Australia that brought it out, the Pope says he had NO IDEA millions were missing. If there's anybody on this earth that won't get into heaven because they've been doing such a sinful job, not keeping Parishioners titheing safe and sound and not stolen, It's the POPES!!! Martin Luthor was the most Academic Catholic Priest of his time, but he saw how his faith was distorting the truth, and keeping the collection money a big secret, So that's why he left, to translate the Bible into German so the little people could start getting the Truth, now the Bible has gone worldwide in over 200 languages. That's why I finally left Catholicism, too much evil in the Vatican and in the wrong teaching, that is definitely not Scriptural. Like it says in Revelation Chapter 18, "Get out of Babylon ( the Vatican, Rome) lest ye be Partakers of her sins!!!" Trust solely in God and God alone, don't believe this Bryan guy, and that's what Luthor would tell ya too!!! God Bless Brother.
@@user-hd1qx2bd1r Dear Jim, I am just curious. If you don't agree with the scriptural basis of Catholic teaching on purgatory, can you show where scripture contradicts or disagrees with the teaching on purgatory?
@@user-hd1qx2bd1r well welcome to the human race Jim! Like it or lump it Our Lord and God founded the Catholic Church on fallible sinful human beings. (name me one protestant sect that has the monopoly on virtue and purity) The true miracle of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church is that it has outlasted all other nations and institutions in spite of her sinful members and clergy. If Christ's Church failed, then He is a liar, after promising that He will remain with His Church until the end of time and the gates of the underworld will not hold out against it.
I see the Church like Noah's arc: if it wasn't for the raging storm on the outside, we couldn't stand the stink on the inside. Further, the many protestant sects have broken away from the arc and are floating (or drowning) in the storm on planks ripped off the main ship. These sects are barely surviving in the storm, constantly splintering further and paddling their own way with their bootleg (unauthorised) bibles, blinded by the storm and no clue where they're going. They constantly conduct pirate raids on the arc and steal away (proselytise) unsuspecting, uneducated Catholics like you.
Only one ecclesial community can justly claim its origin with Our Lord. All other sects are schismatic sects founded by men, based on the tradition of man.
Should I turn my back on Christ's true Church, which one of the 40,000+ schismatic sects do you suggest I join?
This is an excellent explanation of purgatory reality. Thank you. You may want to reissue this talk so it pops up new. We need this now.
*1 corinthians 3:10-15* : 10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 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.
is obv talking about about the gosepl and the trials someone will be going through aka fire please be smater
St Paul describe test of fire a purging process of a human soul
@@rezing8239The verse talks about Judgement day, it said that someone's works will be refined by fire, we both know that during Judgement day there's no more trials to come because that's the Day God will Judge all of us based on our works.
Lets suppose purgatory is real. Looking at the martyred saints of Revelation 5-8, they were killed during the great Tribulation for the faith, an untold multitude according to Johns eye witness account. According to Rome purgatory could be years, decades, even aeons and yea even no time at all. Yet, here standing in heaven WITHIN the time frame of the great tribulation are those standing before God in a state of Grace glorified BEFORE the great tribulation has concluded. These are believers NOT in purgatory but standing before Christ.
What are the odds you suppose this great multitude, recorded by John, advanced through purgatory in a fraction of a time? All at the same relative time??? Given the churches adamant feelings on this Did this great multitude receive special attention from God outside the constructs and rules of purgatory???
Romes primary evidence of support is …
1 Corinthians 3:12-15 ESV Right???
If purgatory is purification, then why does the believer hay/stubble suffer loss? What reward is given in purgatory pertaining to those whose works are burned up? One person gets reward, the other does not. What is the benefit of purgatory for the one who gets no reward?
If the reward is heaven, then this can’t be purgatory, because the reward of purgatory’s purification is heaven, and the one who’s works are consumed receiving no reward. Works of hay and stubble receive bo reward, Therefore, under purgatories reward does not apply and this passage couldn’t possibly refer to purgatory.
When righteousness is counted, apart from works, then works as a measure of purification in a place like purgatory fights the concept of righteousness counted apart of such things.
When sin is not counted against the blessed man, when Christ becomes sin for us, purgatories purpose loses logical reason.
The dept we owe for our sins is unpayable. That’s why the most we can contribute towards salvation is a broken and contrite heart over our sin but we can do nothing about it apart from God. If we pay for our sins in purgatory then jesus dying on the cross was for nothing. Jesus paid the fine. Simple scripture.
Any scripture apart from this logic like - not forgiving your brother or not loving your neighbor is simply commandment structures within the regenerate mind not commandment structures to cause the regenerate mind. God is the one that regenerates. God is the one that changes, God is the one that renews the mind, God is the one that directs and causes us to walk in his rules and statutes.
1 John 3:9 ESV
No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
The believers approach to sin is one of a non-practiced nature and inability to commit unrepentantly. This is why in love we are treated as sons before the father through correction. Hebrews 12:4-8
@@HillbillyBlack Revelation 5:8 never says that the saints that died went to heaven immediately, and the loss that a believer will endure is his loss of his rewards in heaven. Yes Jesus paid for our sins, but we are imperfect and we still have tendecies and attractions to sin, and purgatory purifies us from those flaws in our character. Purgatory is also a light punishment for the sins we haven't repented for.
Sola Scriptura is always been the argument of Protestants. However, the scripture never even mentioned let alone teach Sola Scriptura. The Scripture teaches tradition when Paul says to continue the tradition.
Read 2 Timothy 3:16…..this says that ALL SCRIPTURE…which means the Bible ONLY that is Sola Scriptural not man made fairy tales like purgatory
@@anthonylowder6687 yes all scripture is God breathed but how are you to understand correctly without somebody to teach you without the Holy spirit you will never come to understand, so solar scripture is false.
Thank you brother for clear teaching....I need some Bible verse about purgatory....I'm from India 🇮🇳

Here’s another take on purgatory. Purgatory is not a place but rather a concept. See: ua-cam.com/video/YesD9TjrUes/v-deo.html
Thanks Bryan! Feeling that fire!
There is no purgatory mentioned in the bible but this idea came from Dante’s “Inferno”. I’m catholic but I always questioned teachings out of biblical context. If you analyze the Apostles Creed, the dead and the living will be judged together when Christ returns.
Love Papers, Purgatory is in the Bible HENCE the video. :) The word is not there, but the teaching is. We also explain your last sentence in the video too fyi.
@@CatholicTruthOfficialwhere was lazarus when he died? Jesus told us he is “sleeping”. Not in hell, heaven, or purgatory, Jesus in his own words says Lazarus sleepeth….. Jesus preached soul sleep for the dead, not purgatory….
I THOUGHT YOU ARE MORE OF A SPIRITUAL LIFE. ARE YOU STILL FEEDING ON MILK AND NOT READY FOR SOLID FOOD?. Let the Holy Spirit clear things out. 🙏🙏When a man is defending a men belief system, he is bound to butcher Scriptures like catechism to make it whatever he wants it to be in accord with his belief. The fact the catechism said the elect needs purification when they die in such a non existent place is sheer foolishness. THE ELECT ARE ALREADY 100% cleansed. But the catechism will not allow that because it goes against its doctrines. Yes. We are no longer impure even if a righteous man falls seventy seven times, we rise again. You fall into sin that doesn't mean we become impure which then again Christ will have to die to cleanse again? No . Purification is completed. Only the repent part is needed if anyone falls after accepting the blood of Christ. Yes the stain of sin needs to be repent. We enter into God's throne through the blood of Christ & REPENT. Once repent, God chooses to remember it no more. The fact that the catechism makes the blood of Christ limited is the very essence it got the whole concept of Jesus death at the cross wrong. The blood of Christ has 100% cleanse & makes us pure. The cleansing part is forever. It doesn't mean that when we fall to sin then the cleansing is gone. God does not change His mind. No sacrifice is needed anymore. The very fact that there are no more animal sacrifices should make one open their eyes. What happens when we sin or fall, all it needs now is to Repent and believe in the power of the blood of Christ. Those who sin while struggling and not forgetting to rise back up and walk with God in spirit and truth are well assured. To think that we need cleansing again is madness. It's the blood of CHRIST. It is meant to cleanse all sin be it venial sin or anything.
(Noah's' entire family was saved because of Noah). You never know because of you accepting Christ, God can do miracle of saving your whole family. Because men's knowledge will make you think even when we accepted Christ, we are not yet perfect since we fall again. But that's is only men thoughts. Did it come to the mind what God thoughts is?It is done you are made perfect through Christ in your imperfections. That's why we are saved not by good works but by His grace & our faith. We are already perfected by the cloth of righteousness of Jesus Christ. That's why God will no longer remember our sin because when He looks at us, He looks through His son Jesus Christ who made us spotless in His sight.
Colossians 1:16 NASB2020
[16] for by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities-all things have been created through Him and for Him.
[22] yet He has now reconciled you in His body of flesh through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach- ...
1 Peter 1:22-23 NASB2020
[22] Since you have purified your souls in obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brothers and sisters, fervently love one another from the heart, [23] for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable, but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.
If 1 Peter through the Holy Spirit does not tell you or confirmed you that Purgatory is false doctrines to waste our time to make meaningless prayers then God saved you all and removed your blindness.
Jesus did said let the dead bury the dead ( Mathew 8:22). It was simply you, who is alive focused on things that are alive and continue to LOOSE( take people out from this world) & BIND( Bring people into the kingdom of God) rather than on the dead.
I SEE SHEER FOOLISHNESS HERE TO PREACH OF SOMETHING TO WATSE OUR TIME WITH.
Matthew 16:6 NASB2020
[6] And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
[12] Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Beware false and wrong teachings are everywhere. Ask for spiritual discernment . Above all, walk in Galatians 5:25. As true Christians, all have been given authority to read and interpret the scriptures for Jesus has given the Holy Spirit as helper for all who believed. The Bible is an inspiration to all. LEARN TO SPEAK TO THE HOLY SPIRIT for Jesus said that the Holy Spirit is with us and in us. How to hear Him ? Make your life more spirited life over a fleshy life. Otherwise, you are not ready for solid food. Men's knowledge is great no doubt but without God wisdom is FOOLISHNESS.
ABOVE ALL,
Hebrews 7:24-25 NASB2020
[24] Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently. [25] Therefore He is also able to save forever those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Jesus continue forever. He is also a forever priest and better yet forever and intercessor also.
We can go directly to Jesus those who have a much better understanding.thatnwe lived by Spirit. One must understand Jesus is forever priest. Go and confess or repent your sin to Him.
To conclude PURGATORY is a false doctrine of men knowledge to de value the plan of God through the death of Christ in which His blood has eternally cleanse the human sin. Get it that even if an elect falls like King David but God has already cleanse him and because of what David did as he was continually seeking God strength & living in God path despite of his sin , that what counts. One must realised if a person fall into sin after he recieved baptism is no longer a sin that needs cleaning for the blood of Christ has already cleanse it. All it need now is to repent . So if the elect is continuing to worship God and obey His truth even when he died, he is spotless. The new life is forever. All the scriptures I quoted confirmed the purgatory is men-made purification that goes against God. Not cherry pick.
Shalom. May you allow the Holy Spirit to guide you brother rather than based on your own belief and your own self knowledge. A man who is more into spirit life will understand that nothing he holds is the truth for the truth is God alone. For God to reveal. Our very own belief system or the truth we think we know can also be not the truth of God.
There is actually a direct reference to souls in purgatory in the Bible. 1 Cor 3:15, and the setting requiring that situation is seen in Matt 16:27 and Rev 21:27 where [God will render to every man according to his works], and [Nothing defiled will enter heaven]. Remember that the totality of the truth is both Oral and Written. Written in Scripture, and Oral Tradition handed down and recorded in various places from the Apostles, disciples, and saints in the church. Purgatory has always been known to exist in the church. Thats why its in the catechism and doctrine. The church can invent nothing ... The Holy Spirit does continue to educate and illuminate those truths originally witnessed by the apostles and laid out by Christ orally, but nothing is 'added' per se.

1 Corinthians 3:10-15 NIV
[10] By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. [11] For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

[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.
Brother. You 're off the topic. 1 Cor 3: 15 is talking about a person's work on the foundation laid down in Christ alone. The fire is the test of God to know what kind of work is it. It's not at all related to purgatory. Purgatory is defined by the catechism as a process of purification for the elect which is foolish at the sight of God for the elect are already purified forever and made spotless through the blood of Christ. Or are you saying brother that the soul are building some work in Jesus foundation in purgatory?
Here, the scriptures are merely a comparison that a person is saved and that save is like someone who has escaped from a burning fire. It's simple. Don't stress the typology meaning here. It's just a plain comparison of someone to a plain fire flame. Just say, Like someone who has escaped from an accident burning house.
The scriptures are not relating to anything else rather plainly to the meaning of the context. Don't twist it like the catechism way.
Don't just read 1 Cor 3:15 brother. Read it entirely and you'll get the clear picture brother.
The other scriptures you mentioned are clearly off the hook. Their own meanings.
I have explained clearly we are already made spotless. Etc. But that's up to you if you want to continue to follow the doctrines of purgatory.
Shalom.
May the Lord be with you. 🙏
Great video, I love watching your videos! I have only one question that seemed to be on my mind. What about the man on the cross, where Jesus told you "today you will be with me in paradise". Did he had to go to Purgatory or he went straight to heaven, and if so, why? Thank you and God bless.
Jesus took him directly to the paradise or to heaven.
He did not have “to go” to purgatory anymore for his own “cleansing” or “purification” on the next life, because his own suffering on the cross in the process served the purpose already for the necessary penance of his repentance of his sins.
He was made righteous by Jesus when he told the other guy that, as grievous sinners, both of them deserve the suffering on the cross instead and that Jesus doesn’t, because He is not guilty of any sin at all. This guy’s acceptance of his own suffering on the cross and his supposed willingness to accept this terrible punishment as payment for his grievous sins have made him righteous in the eyes of Jesus Christ.
Acts 26:20 shows us that there is necessary penance for the repentance of our sins in this life, and if we were not able to do so in this life before death or that if we still have some “imperfections” in our Christian lives (but don’t deserve eternal damnation either), it’s then that the concept of purgatory comes in.
Brother in Christ, does this make sense to you or help you understand the concept of purgatory in any way?
God bless.
Rush, this was before Jesus rose from the dead and started the Christian church on Pentecost. So this is pre-christian times in a sense that the thief lived in, and so would probably be held more to the old Covenant standards rather than the New Covenant standards.
@@voxangeli9205 yes, this does help so much! Thank u so much brother. I figured he went to heaven bc of the concept on suffering on earth can be accepted instead of going to purgatory. God bless for clearing it up! :)
@@rushworlord878, that's precisely the point, that the saved souls actually don't need to go to purgatory "to undergo "purification" because it is here on earth that we have the chance to be perfect, as Christ has called us for, and that's why St Paul exhorted all Christians in his time, as you can see in Acts 26:20, that they should not only repent for their sins, but also "PERFORM DEEDS WORTHY OF THEIR REPENTANCE."
That's why if you keep on digging deeper on the concept and doctrine of purgatory, it is actually another showcase of God's mercy, forgiveness and goodness.
God bless, brother, and continue searching for Christian truths which are MOST made sense in the Catholic Church.
@@voxangeli9205 oh I'm already catholic, I just am just exploring all types of info to reaffirm my faith and learn it to be able to explain it to others. But once again, thank u so much for this info. God bless

Thanks for the great video. I was born Catholic, became Protestant in 80s, became New Age in the 90s and then returned to the Catholic Church in about 2019. I now see much of Protestantism as a shallow theology reduced to mere mental gymnastics and memorization, with the practice of love and devotion to God seemingly secondary to the preferred practice of shaming and badmouthing Catholics and those sacred historical traditions that have been there all along.
Roman Catholic Christians who believe in purgatory interpret passages such as 2 Maccabees 12:41-46, 2 Timothy 1:18, Matthew 12:32, Luke 23:43, 1 Corinthians 3:11-3:15 and Hebrews 12:29 as support for prayer for purgatorial souls who are believed to be within an active interim state for the dead undergoing purifying ...
Yes, that's what the Bible says.
@@CatholicTruthOfficialno it doesn't. This is a prime example of adding to and twisting the word of God. Christ said heaven hell or lake of fire.....THIS IS A LIE.
YOU ARE DECEIVED AND I am sure told it was wrong. The Catholic Church now are basically now saying THEY WROTE THE WORD OF GOD
LIES
@@TriciaPerry-ef7bi The Catholic Church did indeed put together the New Testament, as I'm sure you know, back in the 4th Century. Since that time, they have:
1. determined which books were inspired from among scores of pretenders
2. preserved and propagated its contents in all times and places
3. guarded its authentic interpretations
4. keeps it close to the heart of its theology and worship
Never forget to be grateful to the Catholic Church, for bringing you the NT and to this day, preserving the entire OT (since Protestants got rid of 7 books that were in the Bible, prior to the Reformation).
I started reading Bible & came across the word Sheol where Jacob is crying for Joseph who he thinks is dead & wants to go to Sheol. Clearly, it cannot be Hell because no one wants to go there. & of course, it cannot be Heaven because why cry if you want to go to heaven!! Sheol is Purgatory & it's biblical.
I have another denomination Bible too. I compared how the same word Sheol is used as “grave” for good people & “hell” for bad people. Why translate the same word for different things? This is sad to see people are blocked from the complete truth.
Thank you for this video.
Thank you thank you thank you
11:07 exactly; excellent point.
Thanks Bryan for another great and informative video. 🥰❤😎🤗
I was raised catholic, taught by nuns, priests, the missle, catechism & then I read the Bible, saw many catholic contradictions, many opinions that twisted the facts of how the scripture's intent was purposed & sadly, saw many deletions & additions to the RCC bible. God refutes what the RCC teaches about Mary, dead creations, purgatory & angels. God said "believers go to the grave at death, where they "sleep" until the resurrection" (I Cor 15). God never contradicts himself which means 'Mary' has never been on earth in any form that the RCC teach. No one on earth knows 'who' will end up in heaven or hell so why does the RCC pray to human creations who have died & r in the grave? The Bible plainly says that "no man has ascended to heaven" John 3:13 & "ALL have sinned" Rom 3:23, & "no one is truly righteous" Rom 3:10. Why has the RCC always ignored & contradicted the words of God? “For there is one God, and ONE mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” 1 Tim. 2:5.(not Mary, not the 'saints'). Purgatory is NOT in the bible & that's why you can't quote ONE single vs that says it is. All ur doing is throwing out a bunch of words that r opinions, not facts. The teachings of the RCC take the word out of context in order to pretend it refers to 'purgatory'. "Is God a liar"? Isa 6:3, "In vain, they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of MEN" Mt 15:9 Or is man a liar?
Purgatory is in the Bible. HENCE the video you ignored lol. Inform yourself friend, and don't remain an ignorant ex-Catholic who never knew their faith to begin with. Also, you said no man has ascended to heaven. That was before Jesus died and rose lol. This is what happens when people like yourself have free access to the Bible. You twist it to your own destruction (2 Pet. 3:16).
You non-Catholics all go by the Bible alone, all "pray to the Holy Spirit for guidance" and yet all contradict each other. No offense, but hardly anyone believes in soul sleep. It's a fringe belief, and most Christians, based off the same Bible, believe that people go to heaven. We can even see proof of this in the Bible. Rev. 6:9 for example.
So, soul sleep or not. Bible only Christians say yes and no. Baptism in the trinity or the name of Jesus. Bible only people say yes to one or the other. Once saved always saved? Some Bible onlys say yes and others say no and the list could go on.
Jesus started the Catholic Church, the very same church that gave you the Gospel in the first place. It was the Catholic Church alone that put the bible together, chose the books that would make up the Bible, and put it under one cover by the authority of Christ and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It was also the Catholic Church alone that copied the bible for over a thousand years and translated it into different languages and taught it to the world! It was the protestants who would take out books from the Bible over 1,100 years later.
Sadly, you did not know your Catholic faith before you left and you were duped by Protestant man-made religions. We have videos answering all of your claims that you don't understand.

you need to read the entire Bible and not the passages that someone pointed out to you.
For example "God abhors a column" Yet God had columns in His sanctuary.
I think it is rather obvious from your opening comments that for some reason you believe Catholics don't read the Bible.
I will pray for you.
I appreciate this video and I have a better understanding about purgatory. Though I do not agree that purgatory is biblical and refute the points he brought up, I have a better understanding. Thank you and may our Heavenly Father bless you ministry for his glory.
Glad to hear it. Why don't you think it's biblical? 2 Macc. 12:43-46 is pretty clear. :)
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I don’t believe it’s biblical because it takes away from the finished work of Jesus Christ. Either our sins are completely washed by the blood or they are not. To have to go to an intermediary place to purge any remaining sins before finally entering heaven is a slap in the face to the cruxifiction and resurrection. Yes, Old Testament and apocrypha books talked about praying for the dead, however it was for the hope that they would ultimately be with the Lord. I believe we both agree that there was a temporary place where the righteous dead would go, Sheol, to await the time of judgement and be with God. Christ’s death and resurrection was what all the saints of old were waiting for. He is the intermediary for our sins, he is the way to the father. Because of his sacrifice, we become the righteousness of God.
Whenever I mention purgatory existing to people they say; oh, that does not exist anymore. The church said so. They have no proof to back it up but think just as they say it louder again it will win them the argument.
I think many people confuse Purgatory with limbo. They mean limbo, but they say purgatory.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial no unfortunately the people I encounter about purgatory know limbo does not exist but also believe purgatory does not either now.
@@thebigloc1 Well then they are misinformed. ;)
@Brian Farley You are correct in the sense that limbo has been a theological speculation and has never been proclaimed officially by the church. But if we are not mistaken, Pope Benedict put that to rest and said that it is not in fact true. But I would have to double-check that it was him and not Pope John Paul II.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial they say limbo does not exist and nether does purgatory priests said it. They have no proof purgatory does not exist and when I try to tell them it still exists they suddenly say no talking religion at work. 🙄
Thank you BRIAN! I am a Protestant converting to a Catholic. I wanted more sense and depth to our Lord Christ.
It seems not all of them out protestants don't weigh sin the way they should and I believe the cross should be the center of the church that is preached and mass is so beautiful. Thank you and God bless you. 😁

REVELATION 21:8
But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
I actually also had this in mind that many protestant teachings don't actually take sin as seriously. Because if you have believed and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior and then you are already put right with Him, and repentance for them is only once! But then what Bryan said in 5:18 to 5:55 says it all and why we we can't go directly to heaven but we are already saved. We only needed to be purified. I know a lot of people too who claim that they have a change in life because they accepted the Lord already, but in deed does otherwise (hate for example, gossip, not being able to forgive), that's why we had to constantly examine ourselves, because we sin continuously. God knows that there are times in our lives that we have done heartily what He commanded us to do, and still we fall short. It would then contradict to God being just if He just erases all things done with love and faith for Him! and throw these people to hell! Shalom 🕊🙏
@@hannahmaningo8884 thank you and god bless you with the mercy of our lord Jesus 🙏🏼
I'm on my way to become Catholic (again). Thank you so much for this video. I have a question, how much time do we spend in purgatory? Jesus told the thief that he was going to be with Him in paradise that very day, but I assume the thief had to be purified before entering to heaven, and he was in great sin. One possible answer that I think about is that the thief received the horrible punishment of being crucified and that was sort of his "purification". I'd like to read your thoughts on this. God bless ✝️🙏🏼
Wow! Praise God and welcome home! So glad to hear it! ❤️🙏☝️ To answer your question, The thief on the cross is an exception to the rule because Jesus had not died or risen from the dead yet, and the Christian church had not started yet. Therefore, this is still Old Testament times. Thus, he js not held to the same New Testament Commandments or standards. Plus, the Catholic Church teaches that if you have a deathbed conversion, you can still be saved. Again, it's an exception, but not the rule.
Hope that helps.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thank you so much for your answer 🤗
My understanding of Catholic teaching is that Jesus granted the thief on the cross a plenary indulgence.
@@Primordial_Synapse Plenary indulgences and all indulgence was an invention of the Church in the middle ages.
There is no indulgences in the " Orthodox Church " Christ never mentioned it and not a word in the Scriptures of its existence.
Where in the bible is "plenary indulgence," " indulgence," or the other type of Catholic indulgence taught or explained? He who knew no sin became sin so that we might be made the righteousness of God -- WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVE!!!! WE ARE RIGHTEOUS BECAUSE OF JESUS! Jesus said IT IS FINISHED. Jesus' work & death is enough-- to completely satisfy the wrath & judgment of God. Catholics don't believe this. Even MOTHER THERESA did not KNOW if Jesus & Father God would accept her; she " hoped" He would. That's truly sad.
In regards to Righteousness and Sin @5:17
I always point people to Genesis 4:7 If you act rightly, you will be accepted;* but if not, sin lies in wait at the door: its urge is for you, yet you can rule over it.
God does not lie if He told Cain that acting rightly brings acceptance by God and mastery over sin then God made it possible for everyone to do so. Through Jesus, we now have the GIFT of the Holy Spirit to purge sin from us and purify us, it is a process. The Holy Spirit comforts us and encourages us to keep going, HE is our hope while we wait for resurrection. We cannot after knowing Christ remain within willful indulgences or walk after the lusts of the flesh that is doing things our way.
Beloved St. Paul says in Hebrews 10: 26-29
If we sin deliberately after receiving knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains sacrifice for sins
but a fearful prospect of judgment and a flaming fire that is going to consume the adversaries.t
Anyone who rejects the law of Moses* is put to death without pity on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
Do you not think that a much worse punishment is due the one who has contempt for the Son of God, considers unclean the covenant-blood by which he was consecrated, and insults the spirit of grace?
Lastly, Purgatory is a very Jewish teaching! If Jesus was born a Jew and the Apostles were Jewish, the early Church surely taught this. (Zechariah 13:9)
Brian, I can't seem to get an answer from anyone else. When one is sent to purgatory, does the HS remain indwelled in that person?
They are still children of God, so yes. If we lose the Spirit of God and his presence, that would be bad. Hell really.
@@CatholicTruthOfficialno Body who has the holy Spirit will go there. It doesn't exist anyway. It was a medieval invention. History records it and you all are trying to change it. Catholic Church is not Christianity dude NO IT ISN'T. NO MATTER HOW MUCH you people try to sell this LIE
IT WILL ALWAYS BE A LIE
"For by one (1) offering Jesus has perfected for all time those who are sanctified (set apart)."
"And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin."
The purging that Scripture speaks of is the purging of one's works in Christ by fire, soon after one goes to be with the Lord.
😊After Adam's sin, the gates of Heaven were closed, and no one was allowed to enter (John 3:13) until Jesus Christ redeemed the human race and opened the gates once again. Where were the spirits of Moses and Elias, who appeared and spoke with Jesus at the transfiguration (Matthew 17:3)? They could not have been in Heaven since it was closed, and they would have been lost had they been in hell. They had to have been in a third place. If there was a third place then, why not a third place now?
What about Lazarus? He was already dead four days (John 11:17) when Jesus arrived at his tomb. Where was his soul during those four days? It could not be heaven or hell for the same reasons as for Moses and Elias.
His soul had to have been in a third place.
Philippians 2:10 says:
"That at the name of Jesus, every knee should bend of those in Heaven, on earth, and 'under the earth'."
'Under the earth', could it mean hell, or is it a third place?
Non Catholic theologians struggle trying to reconcile their denial of the existence of Purgatory with what Paul said in 1Corinthians 3:12-15:
"Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw- each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire*."
To whom do these verses refer? Obviously the person is not in hell, as verse 15 says "himself will be saved". He cannot be in heaven either as the same verse implies suffering, "as through fire", and there is no suffering in heaven. These verses say that man will be purified by fire and then will be saved to enter Heaven. Where will this, "yet as though through fire", take place if not in a third place called Purgatory?
"And who shall be able to think of the day of His coming? And who shall stand to see Him? For HE IS LIKE A REFINING FIRE, and like the fuller's herb; AND HE SHALL SIT REFINING AND CLEANSING THE SILVER. AND HE SHALL PURIFY THE SONS OF LEVI, AND SHALL REFINE THEM AS GOLD, AND AS SILVER, and they shall offer sacrifices to the Lord in justice."
Malachi 3:2-3
"...Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn My hand to the little ones. And they shall be in all the earth, said the Lord, TWO PARTS IN IT SHALL BE SCATTERED, AND SHALL PERISH, BUT THE THIRD PART SHALL BE LEFT THEREIN. AND I WILL BRING THE THIRD PART THROUGH THE FIRE, AND WILL REFINE THEM AS SILVER IS REFINED, AND I WILL TRY THEM AS GOLD IS TRIED. THEY SHALL CALL ON MY NAME, AND I WILL HEAR THEM. I WILL SAY: YOU ARE MY PEOPLE. AND THEY SHALL SAY; THE LORD IS MY GOD."
Zechariah 13:7-9
"As silver is tried by fire, and gold in the furnace, so the Lord tries the hearts."
Proverbs 17:3.
The metal refiner watches the silver, for if the process is longer than necessary, the silver will be harmed.
"He shall sit refining and cleansing the silver. And he shall purify the sons of Levi, and shall refine them as gold, and as silver..."
Malachi 3:3.
HE KNOWS THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE WHEN HE CAN SEE HIS OWN IMAGE REFLECTED IN THE SILVER.
GOD SAID, "LET US MAKE MANKIND IN OUR IMAGE AND LIKENESS."
Genesis 1:26
"...Woe is me, because I have held my peace; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people that has unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King of the Lord of Hosts. And one of the Seraphims flew to me, and in his hand was a live coal, which he had taken with the tongs off the altar. And he touched my mouth and said, 'BEHOLD THIS HAS TOUCHED YOUR LIPS, AND YOUR INIQUITIES SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY, AND YOUR SIN SHALL BE CLEANSED'." Isaiah 6:5-7
What can this possibly mean other than a purgation of sins through fire?
In 1Peter 3:19, Christ preached to the spirits in prison. What spirits? What prison? We will become pure spirits only after we die, so the spirits have to be the spirits of the dead. Prison cannot mean Heaven, and souls in hell are lost forever. Prison must mean a third place.
1Peter 4:6, the Gospel was preached "even to the dead". Again, where were these dead?
Matthew 12:32, "...but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him either in this world or in the world to come." This passage alludes to another world in which some sins will be forgiven. What other world? Again it could not be either Heaven or hell.
Hebrews 12:23, "...and to the Church of the Firstborn who are enrolled in the heavens, and to GOD, THE JUDGE OF ALL AND TO THE SPIRITS OF THE JUST MADE PERFECT."
We have already seen from Revelation 21:27 that nothing imperfect will enter heaven, and in Hebrews 12:23, the spirits of the just are made perfect. Revelation 22:14 shows that there will be a cleansing before admission to the tree of life and entrance through the gates of the city. Where will all of this happen if not in a third place?
"For everyone shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be salted."
Mark 9:48.
What fire, but the purification fire of Purgatory?
"But that servant who knew his masters will, and did not make ready for him and did not act according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes."
Luke 12:47.
Are people beaten in Heaven? Those in hell are lost, so where will this punishment be fulfilled?
Very strong evidence that a third place exists, is in 2Maccabees 12:38-46:
"...it is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to Pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins."
If there are only Heaven and hell, why then does Scripture ask us to pray for the dead? If the dead are in hell, prayer is useless. If the dead are in Heaven, prayer is not needed. Therefore there has to be a third place where prayers are needed.
St. Paul prayed for his dead friend Onesiphorus in 2Timothy 1:18,
"May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day."
Why would Paul pray for the dead if he thought his friend to be in heaven or hell where prayers would help neither?
The greatest torment in Purgatory is to be separated from GOD for a period of time. Remember, in this life we have five senses, and they are always a distraction for us when we try to concentrate on things of GOD such as prayer. After we leave this life, we are spirit and have lost our five senses. There are no more distractions.
Purgatory should be regarded as a great blessing from GOD. Even though souls there are in torment, it is only a temporary torment. All who go there are assured of eventually gaining the Kingdom of Heaven.
It sure beats the third alternative...

Protestants truly do not believe in God nor in his divinity. The beauty of devinity is how God shows us him making the impossible possible. Thats the most beautiful part of God. Protestants treat Christianity as if it were a mathematics or history book. They use their human logic and place it above God. Which is why they do not believe anything that the Bible says and are unbiblical despite claiming to be only about the bible. They are robots who all repeat the samething.
Its hard to understand the fact that the church has existed this long without a book but somehow God guided the entire process of the Holy Bible and kept the church together till this day. Thats his power.
@@Justas399 did you say "examples of Apostles not recorded in the New testament" ? Are you referring to the Apostles themselves or what they taught? (Because all twelve Apostles are mentioned by name in the new testament).

Were did Jesus said I am God worship me?
They don't care that Saint Thomas called him directly God.
They don't care that not even in English translation of the Old Testament; God doesn't really asks directly for worship. I could only find when he asks directly for service in Exodus 23 25:
You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
All the verses for worship to God are given by the Prophets to God's people.
I wonder if in the Quaran their god asks directly for worship.
@@allopez8563 : The first commandment is, "You shall love God." It does not say, you shall worship God. The Lord's Prayer starts out with: "Our father...". God wants to be a father to us.

The only spirit that wants to be worshipped is the evil one.
@@bobblacka918 Agree 100%
There are many verses that debunk this, but here is just a couple. John 4:23-24: "True worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
Revelation 7:9-12: After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: 'Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.' All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and *worshiped God,* saying: Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”
It is possible to worship God as is his due, and also to love him and be in relationship with Him. People loved and followed Jesus, but they also worshiped him.

The best example of Purgatory is when Lazarus died and Jesus was away. Jesus tells his deciples that Lazarus is sleeping. The deciples then ask him what the problem is. Then Jesus follows up by telling them that Lazarus has died. Notice here that the word "sleeping" is the word often used to mean Purgatory.
So the question is this: Where was Lazarus when he was sleeping? He wasn't in heaven. He wasn't in hell. There is only one place left, Purgatory.
Lol he couldn’t be saved yet because Jesus had t died for his sins yet .This isn’t purgatory .

Just a thought on the reference in the book of second Macabees and the references in it which are attributed to Purgatory. Whether an official part of biblical study or not there is Description and Prescription. For example, Jacob took two wives, and had many children by Leah, as well as maidservants of both Leah and Rachel. This is description, but likely not God's prescription for how his people ought to live. It feels the same in second Macabees that while Judas Macabeas promotes praying for the dead and offering alms for them this doesn't sound like prescription, but rather a description of something that happened.
570th comment because screw 69, anyhow great video bro. if you can could you provide the passages of the proof of purgatory in the description the next time that you make a very informative video. XD some of us want to archive this infromation for some potential catholic apologetics.

And what is your response to the verses he raised? I'm not a Christian, I'm just trying to figure out if I should become Catholic or some other denomination.
@@peterwallis4288Hello brother, this is in response to the part when Bryan states that we must be purified in purgatory before entering heaven. This Bible verse states that there is no need for any other purification other than the blood of our Lord Jesus. You will be in my prayers much love friend
@@isaacvaladez4442
In Revelation iit's also clearly written that nothing imperfect will enter heaven. Most people don't die with any attachement to sin left. Furthermore Jesus Christ clearly described the purification of the soul in the parable of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18: 23 - 35. Paul also said that the work will be revealed with fire and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward, if any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though himself will be saved, BUT ONLY AS THROUGH FIRE, 1 Corinthians 3: 11 - 15.
2 Corinthians 5:21
King James Version
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Catholics don’t even understand the salvation message and what Christ did on the cross .IT IS FINISHED , means it is finished .
What you said was true

Makes you wonder how Martin Luther has been or will be judged. The idea of purgatory makes complete sense, although not excited about the cleansing by fire part.
Martin Luther WISHES he got a chance to see purgatory
@@bazzy8376 That is what I am thinking. Seems he has led a lot of souls astray.
Purgatory is a deception. Although I m catholic. Martin was right on many points.
@@deepaknayak7686 The bible has no deception. Jesus, Paul and Luke believe in Purgatory
2 Timothy 1: 16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. 18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well."
(he doesn’t say “if he’s in heaven he doesn’t need prayers, and if he’s in hell he doesn’t want them.)
Luke 19: 22 "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."
He can’t be in hell, because he has charity for his brethren. He asks Abraham to send Lazerus (not God). Abraham doesn’t say that Lazerus couldn’t go to his brethren, he just says that he wouldn’t be able to persuade them. They mention an impenetrable chasm between Abraham’s bosom and Hell, but NOT between either place and earth.
Luke 12:42 "The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked."
4 possible outcomes here: faithful and wise manager goes to heaven
abusive master goes to hell
master who knows what is expected but doesn't do it get MANY BLOWS
master who didn't know exactly what was expected of him gets FEW BLOWS
What do you make of the last two scenarios?
@@deepaknayak7686 In your opinion of course, otherwise you have no knowledge or authority otherwise to make a statement like that. But ideas like that is what has caused so many different churches to be created around the world. Luther was an unrepentant heretic whose teachings caused irreparable harm to the Catholic Church and Western civilization. When Pope Leo X (r. 1513-1521) recognized the danger of Luther’s teachings he strenuously and patiently urged his repentance. The Church was not a corrupted institution resistant to reform and Luther was not a simple reformer. He was an obstinate heretic whom Leo urged repeatedly to repent. Unfortunately, Luther refused to listen.
Pope Leo selling indulgences in order to build Saint Peter's Basilica is all I need to know about purgatory.
What you really need to know is what actually happened, not the protestant myth. Nobody ever sold indulgences. That's not how it worked. You probably don't even know what an indulgence is.
Kevin speaks the truth.
@@CatholicTruthOfficialindulgences is buying your way out of purgatory. It's a catholic lie. I hate the satanic doctrrine of purgatory within
The same righteous hatred as God has for purgatory. Purgatory makes the gospel of no effect it says Christ has died invain. Purgatory is not biblical and it's a lie straight from the pit of hell. You believe catholic propaganda if you deny the church sold indulgences. The Lutheran church is living proof the catholics sold indulgences and went too far. In fact I can say the only benefit of purgatory and indulgences is the protestant reformation the true gospel of Jesus Christ being re-released across the world.
No, there's more to indulgences than that. We Americans can be so sophomoric when it comes to Christianity. And please don't ask me to explain when you have the internet to hear the Catholic explanation of indulgences.

"The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin" - 1 John 1:7
"When He had made purification for sin, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." - Hebrews 1:3
The fires of purgatory have no power to cleanse that Christ's blood hasn't already accomplished. Trust in His finished work to forgive your sins so that you may know that you have eternal life.
It is the finished work of Christ that cleanses us in Purgatory. We said that in the video.
did you ever bother listening to Bryan or are just an anti-Catholic troll? I challenge you to explain away the verses Bryan mentioned: saved but as through fire, some sins not be forgiven in the next life and so on.
Since you claim there is no "purgatory " Then please explain where Jesus' Spirit went for the 3 days his body was dead? Sacred Scripture says ",, that he went and preached to the spirits who lay in prison. " ( 1 Peter 3:19) Where was this prison? was it in Heaven? If so why would there be a prison in Paradise? Was the prison in the Hell of the Damned? If so why would the damned need to hear the Gospel? .
as you say there is no "purgatory" then Jesus did not have to die on the cross. If Moses and Abraham and the rest of the OT Faithful were already in the presence of the Lord then Jesus did not have to die.
His death on the cross opened the narrow gate and the OT faithful passed through that narrow gate from the wilderness into the Promised land.
The OT Faithful that died waiting for the Messiah weren't in slavery in Egypt- the antetype of hell of the damned for they had been rescued but they weren't in the Promised land of heaven either. Jesus' death opened the narrow gate and fulfilled the Covenant. Please study the Hebrew thoughts of Sheol and the grave, and note that Sheol is NOT Gehenna. Gehenna is for the accursed and the Damned not Abraham or Moses.
The waiting in the spiritual wilderness is the best explanation of "purgatory" I can think of right now.
Thanks for listening and remember Revelation 21 :17 & 1 Cor 3:15 especially verses 10-15. ----
the word hell means Hades or Sheol, the collective abode of the dead, divided into Paradise or Abraham's Bosom--the state of God-fearing souls--and Gehenna, the state of ungodly souls. Thus the descent into hell suggests that the Son of God carried the sins of the world to hell; or the Son of God carried Good News of deliverance to the godly dead such as Lazarus the beggar and the repentant thief.
Yes, He made purification for sin, which means, you have to be purified before entering Heaven. If you have ever sinned at all before you die, you need to be purified from that stain. Forgiveness is not the same as being purified.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thanks for the reply. You did a great job presenting the Catholic view in this video.
The problem that I see with taking the position that it's Christ's finished work that cleanses us in purgatory is that the cleansing in purgatory is not finished. It's ongoing now and indefinitely into the future.
Read Catherine of Genoa's book on purgatory. It is very short (you can find it on UA-cam) but compelling. The souls there are in absolute agony, and yet they experience joy greater than anything people on earth can imagine, and embrace it with ecstacy, because they know that they are on their way to eternity with Christ, and nothing can stop them getting to Him.
I no longer fear purgatory, and in fact look forward to it.
For my protestant brothers who Don't believe it is biblical, read St. Paul..1 Corinthians 3:15. "...he himself shall be saved, but as through fire."
I hope you can reply because I am very unsure. I am confused on why the man on the cross next to Jesus made it straight to heaven? He was imperfect but God granted him a spot in paradise without mentioning purgatory?
It is because we are saved by grace alone, not some garbage mixture of grace and works as the church teaches. There is no purgatory, the notion of indulgences is totally abominable, and the Catholic tradition is steering people directly to hell.
The bad thief’s on the cross was Dismas and Gismas ! Susana’s was sorrowful and contrite and already suffered his purgatory on earth with his crucifixtion and trials! Jesus is all knowing of course and saved him! Gismas on the other hand showed contempt and no sorrow!
Dismas sorry spelling error

Maybe, just maybe, listen to what they have to say.😂
Praying for the dead is not a biblical concept. Our prayers have no bearing on someone once he or she has died. The reality is that, at the point of death, one’s eternal destiny is confirmed. Either he is saved through faith in Christ and is in heaven where he is experiencing rest and joy in God’s presence, or he is in torment in hell. The story of the rich man and Lazarus the beggar provides us with a vivid illustration of this truth. Jesus plainly used this story to teach that after death the unrighteous are eternally separated from God, that they remember their rejection of the gospel, that they are in torment, and that their condition cannot be remedied (Luke 16:19-31).
Thanks for the comment. Praying to the dead is an Old Testament term because when people died they stayed in the grave. They had no consciousness, and we could not communicate to them unless we conjured up their Spirit through some black magic or something. However, since then, Jesus has died on the cross and has conquered sin and death. Therefore, people who die now are not rotting in the grave, but they are alive with Christ and perfected with him in heaven. The Bible shows that people are alive in heaven in Revelation 9:6, they are conscious, and they remember what's going on. Jesus even spoke to two dead people, Moses and Elijah in Matthew 17 because they are not dead and in the grave anymore.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial could you please provide passages on where that happens and why that happens? I've never heard of a jewish tradicion that pray to the dead.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Revelation 9:6 is talking about a future event where there will be a final judgement on this world.
Believers in Yeshua as the Messiah who have passed away are not with Him in Heaven including Mary or the dead saints. Yeshua said in John 3:13 “No one has gone up into heaven except the One who came down from heaven-the Son of Man”.
Believers in Yeshua will not be raised from the dead until He comes again. Then after Yeshua’s 1,000 year reign, Satan will be defeated and those whose name are not found in the Lamb’s book of life (unbelievers) will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:15).
It nice to think that people who have died are up in Heaven now as the church teaches but it’s just not scriptural. At the End of the Age believers will not be in Heaven but in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21) with the Father and the Son.
Then why did Jesus do it?
@@rpgfeatures793 Scripture please.
I have a question, does our pets goes to heaven or is there an animals goes to heaven after they die? Because the leader of MCGI Saida that there's no where in the bible about animals in heaven. Can you debunk that?
There is nowhere in the Bible that talks about animals in heaven. That's true. So, while it's a probably not, we don't know for sure. I think Thomas Aquinas perhaps kept it open as a possibility.
If we believe that at the end of time God brings forth a new heaven and a new earth, the new earth will not be barren. The new earth, I believe will have redeemed, transformed sky, water, trees, grass, flowers, insects, animals as they were in the garden before Adam and Eve sinned.
I agree with you completely, but what do I say to my protastant friends who say the thief on the cross went straight to Paradise?
We always say that The thief on the cross is an exception to the rule because Jesus had not died or risen from the dead yet, and the Christian church had not started yet. Therefore, this is still Old Testament times. Thus, he js not held to the same New Testament Commandments or standards. Plus, the Catholic Church teaches that if you have a deathbed conversion, you can still be saved. Again, it's an exception, but not the rule.
Luke 12-13.
I believe thatJesus have seen the repentance of the thief so he was forgiven right away.
Jesus died on the cross for our sins but we also need to repent.
How did Jesus tell the thief on the cross today you will be with me in paradise, being a thief is a mortal sin and therefore could not go to purgatory, the only answer is Jesus Christ's perfect righteous was given to the thief, so there is no need for a place called purgatory that was brought into the church when Constantine United the church with the state in the 3rd century, purgatory is a pagan belief, Scripture will never back that up so all the passages u are using are being twisted. In Mathew 5 the context is the mortal sin of murder and can not be purified in purgatory according to your own beliefs, so when it says you wont come out of prison till u pay the last penny it's not talking about purgatory it's talking about an earthly court and prison. In 2nd maccabees. The men that were slain had committed idolatry because they had pagan amulets around their necks that was forbidden by the law to ware because it was idolatry. Idolatry is a mortal sin and can't be purified so the offering of 2000 pieces of silver could not be to get them out of purgatory. This is another example of twisting scripture to fit a pagan doctrine. There is no purgatory in the bible.
Doctrine of devils
Also i have doubt but when i realize. About the thief. Even he is a thief in circumtances because he might be a very poor and do bad things because of his family to be feed, like Jesus said" Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God" the thief has the criteria to enter the heaven but only one blemish is being a thief, but then he sumbit all his sin and ask forgiveness directly thru Jesus Crist... also like what Moses did allow separation of marriage. But God did not allow it.. the point is Pope are todays appointed have somehow have right to make rules. And what we will do is just belive and hope for Gods and Jesus grace.
Your are so wrong and the Catholic Church is teaching this falsely. Read your Bible.
Just saying someone is wrong doesn't mean they are. You have to prove it. ;)
You also read the Bible but a Catholic Bible only. You will be totally surprised when you will die in the future and you will find yourself not in Heaven but in the Purgatory.. God is Love and Mercy but He is Just as well .
This makes perfect sense, we are imperfect beings in a sin filled life, this is the only problem i have with my Christian Orthodox faith, it's either perfect or you burn in Hell, there is no middle ground, no one is perfect like Jesus and there is no mention of reincarnation in the Bible like how Buddhists believe so there is no second chance, the Bible is also vague on a lot of issues which is why there are different Christian Churches, some of them even believe the cross is a sin, it gets very confusing sometimes.
God Bless.
Yo Bryan! Question. Do souls in purgatory know they are in purgatory?
Yes
@@CatholicTruthOfficialhow do u know lol u ever died?
A great many people believe falsely in purgatory. A miserable place where people supposedly go after death. No place in the bible does it mention Purgatory. There is not a single verse with which to defend the false theology of purgatory. In fact, the very idea of a second route to heaven runs counter to God's redemptive plan. Jesus Christ was the substitute for all of us and His death paid our sin-debt. He obtained our eternal redemption with His blood (Heb. 9:12). If there is a place where people can go to suffer for their own sins in other words, pay their own penalty, then God sending His Son to die makes no sense and was a lie. In John 14:2, Jesus told the disciples that He was going away to prepare a place for His followers. Nowhere in Scripture do we find any mention of a detour into misery where we "earn" a pass into heaven. The Bible says that believers are either at home in the body, or absent from it and present with the Lord. There is simply no in-between stopover. I respect the right to believe as one chooses (Primarly a Roman However, this philosophy is not a biblical truth. Those who reject Christ get no second chance after death. They are eternally separated from God. But whoever receives salvation is completely forgiven of all sin and guaranteed an eternity with Him.
You don't go a tone, make up for, or work off your sins in any way.This alone shows you have a complete misunderstanding of what purgatory is and haven't done any real research except for anti catholics in what they say erroneously. Purgatory is all the work of Jesus Christ, his passion, his death, and his merit. It's all his work.Purgatory is sanctification completed.Even protestants believe they will be perfectly sanctified at some point. So this is not against the Bible as you claim. You have to get a Catholic argument. Correct first before you try to debunk it. That's called a straw man argument.
Most of these objections are addressed in the video. You should actually watch the video before commenting. And if you did watch it, watch it again and you’ll see how these concerns are addressed.
Try watching the video FIRST. You are embarrassing yourself.
no, Purgatory is NOT in the bible. Roman Catholicism is NOT Christian. Salvation from sin is by Grace alone, through Faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, to the Glory of God alone. The cult of Rome preaches a false gospel that will condemn you to Hell. Escape as I did, over 25 years ago.
You escaped from the Church Jesus started? No, you have been decieved. If you had actually known your Catholic faith, you would have known that salvation is by grace alone in the Catholic church has taught that for two thousand years. But it's not through faith alone which is an invented Protestant Doctrine and tradition of man. The only time the word faith alone is mentioned in the Bible is James 2:24 where it says that we are not saved by faith alone. But Protestants ignore that verse other verses that say we are saved by faith, but never faith alone. This is the only time in the Holy Bible that the Holy Spirit inspired the authors to use the words faith and alone next to each other and it says we are *not* saved by faith alone. And Purgatory is biblical. We will pray for you.
Disguting. The cult of Rome is NOT founded by Jesus. It is indeed a child of antichrist. Repent and escape.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Your a liar. James is talking to the twelve tribes of Israel (James 1:1)!! And that doctrine will take effect in the Seven year tribulation after our Dispensation of Grace expires/closes (1 Thessalonians 4:14-18). Israel will need to be perfect and not accept the Antichrist nor his mark and they as the believing remnant of Israel will have to prove their faith and love towards the rest of their brethren by proving their faith by helping each other physically (works--James 2:15,16) as the Antichrist and his followers oppress and persecute them. See. Simple Huh. You Catholics only use the Bible if it agrees with your theological system (traditions of men)!!
Today in our Dispensation of the Grace of God (Ephesians 3:2), we are saved by faith alone (Ephesians 2:8,9)!!
Purgatory is false does not exist. And is definitely not in scriptures
@56jpr
Purgatory IS in the bible. Roman Catholicism IS Christian. Salvation from sin IS NOT BY GRACE ALONE, THROUGH FAITH ALONE, but through FAITH + GOOD DEES like the bible reveals us clearly in Romans 2: 5 - 10, James 1: 22 - 27; 2: 14 - 26, Mark 10: 17 - 22 (also in the gospel of Matthew and Luke), Matthew 7: 17 - 23; 25: 31 - 46, Revelation 20: 12 - 14 and so on.
Maccabees Chapter 1 vs 8, God sent the people of Nineveh to "The Realm of Darkness". This was one generation after Jonah.
It is my understanding, first century Christians called Hell, The Realm of Darkness, "Satan Domain!"
I was in an ICU three times in a year and a half. I saw and experienced Heaven and The Realm of Darkness.
So does everyone go to purgatory when they die or is it just a few amount of selected people?
No, some people go straight to heaven or straight to hell. Some people go to purgatory to be purified before going to heaven.
@@michaelarchangel130 thank you for your answer
DO YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN?
The Bible declares, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 KJV). Because of sin, none of us can pay the price to enter heaven. Regardless of how many “good” works we do, we are still sinners by birth, unable to merit God’s favor. We have come short of God’s righteous standards.
Thus, in order to enter heaven, we need God’s righteousness. The good news is that, through the finished crosswork of Jesus Christ on Calvary, we can be made “the righteousness of God in Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV). We can receive God’s righteousness as a free gift! We can receive eternal salvation from our sins!
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV).
“The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23 KJV).
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1 KJV).
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8 KJV).
“In whom [Christ] we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Ephesians 1:7 KJV).
“In whom [Christ] we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:14 KJV).
“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV).
“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:5 KJV).
“What must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:30,31 KJV).
Salvation = Faith + Nothing. It is free to you because Jesus Christ paid the price. Do you believe that? Have you fully trusted in that alone for salvation?
Jesus Christ (God manifested in human flesh), in His great love, grace, and mercy, paid the penalty for our sins. The Gospel of the Grace of God which saves lost mankind is: “Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and He rose again the third day” (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). The Lord Jesus Christ shed His sinless blood to forgive us our sins, but the Bible declares that anyone who rejects the Gospel of Grace will have to pay for his or her sins in the lake of fire for all eternity.
When you trust exclusively in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, Jesus Christ’s righteousness will be applied to you. Jesus Christ is perfect, so His righteousness imputed to us is our only means of getting into heaven. Will you trust in Christ Jesus alone as your personal Saviour? I hope you will accept God’s offer today!
Unknown.
Always appreciate your presentations Bryan, but I have to strongly oppose this doctrine.
Romans 7,the whole chapter sets out who we are positionally with christ,in God.purgatory tells us the precious blood is insufficient for the cleansing of the stain of sin,purgatory tells us we are not children of God,adopted as sons and daughters,who can cry out ABBA,father,it's telling that 10 minutes in and the word grace hasn't passed your lips,
It's a dreadful heavy burden placed on the backs of the catholic,how long Lord after death before I'm ready for heaven? ,will my loved ones faithfully lift up prayers and give alms to cut short my time in this halfway house of purification? Sorry,but I'm cross,Luther saw what was there,in his New testament,he didn't.invent a spurious heresy,purgatory tells us 'this body of death' as Paul puts it,accompanies us after death and hangs around,its so shocking,I'm dismayed.
Stephen,
A. Do you die in a state of sin, having an inclination to sin?
B. When you enter heaven, do you still have this inclination to sin? (of course not, you are purified, as nothing unclean can enter heaven)
What do you call the process from going from A to B of cleansing the soul ?
Keep in mind the verse below. One can never be saved in hell. And one can never suffer loss in heaven. It is describing another state of being after death. Purgatory. In reading the Old Testament, there was the abode of Abraham, a "place" of neither hell nor heaven.
_For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble-each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, _*_he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire._* (1 Cor 3)
"Luther"
Father Luther had no authority whatsoever to say Christendom had errored, and error'd repeatedly and universally on doctrine. He made Christ out to be a liar as HE failed to lead His Church to ALL Truth as he promised. The Church was NOT the Pillar of Truth. The Church was not the Bulwark of Truth. The Church was NOT where the manifold wisdom of God was made known. Sola Scriptura gave him no right to say that his interpretation of scripture, decapitated from the Christian faith was right. That's too why he had no right to say that Father Zwingli was wrong on the Eucharist, bringing Fr Zwingli to tears.
" the precious blood is insufficient for the cleansing of the stain of sin,"
Well no. We are saved by Christ's sacrifice. Saved 100% by grace, an unmerited gift, through faith, a faith working in love. Purgatory recognizes both the spiritual cleansing of the soul that may be needed to enter heaven, and God's justice of debt due to sin itself.
"t's a dreadful heavy burden placed on the backs of the catholic,how long Lord after death before I'm ready for heaven? "
The "fire" of purgatory is viewed as the love of Christ purifying the soul. That's not a heavy burden .. .the soul understands as scripture states that nothing unclean can enter heaven. And one is after death outside of earth's time and space. How time passes afterwards is admittedly a mystery but that cleansing process may be very quick.
@@TruthHasSpoken grace and purgatory are irreconcilable,
Collosians 1 v 21 -
"Once you were alienated from God,and were enemies in your mind because of your evil behaviour,but now he has reconciled you by christs physical body,through death,to present you HOLY in his sight,without blemish and free from accusation ~ if you continue in your faith,established and firm,not moved from the hope held out in the gospel,"NIV
Not holy enough apparently.and again "you are a chosen people,a royal priesthood,a holy nation belonging to God."
Luthet saw what was under his nose,his eureka moment.
There is no halfway destination,of uncertain duration,sorry.As for Bryan's appeal to the passage in matthew where jesus confronts the pharisees as they claim he's delivering people of demon possession and healing by the devils power,again,completely taken out of context and extremely weak as a scriptural defence.
Purgatory and salvation are not the same issue. Here's the old analogy. If you break your neighbor's window. you've damaged your relationship. If you renpent and he forgives you, you've been reconciled (eternal punishment removed). but there's still a broken window. Who should fix it? Your friendship has been repaired, but you haven't made him whole. fixing the window fixes the imblance. (temporal debt paid.)
He would have been back in God's graces with the forgiveness. Heaven is open to him. But he can't enter with outstanding debt. It must be paid. It purifies him. Nothing impure enters heaven.
Imagine a guiy who leaves his family for the Hollywood dream. His family is left with sometimes irreversable damage like seeking comfort in drugs, crime, sex, suicide, etc.
If this guy repents on his deathbed. God will forgive him, an open heaven to him. But what about trail of carnage he's left behin?. Is it fair that his kids will never know God because of him? How could he bring that human damage into heaven with him?
Jesus bought our souls for eternal life. He never said that His act would repair all the damage we've caused to others.
👏👏If you made it to purgatory you Made it to heaven and his blood was sufficient. actually you deny his precious blood Jn 666
@@bazzy8376 complex and convoluted analogy to try to explain these few oft repeated words "nothing impure (unclean) can enter heaven."
So the blood of the lamb was sufficient that the angel of destruction to pass over the Israelites,but our perfect lamb,cannot remove the temporal consequence of sin,to enable us to enter the very presence of God, jesus told his closest companions ,in my father's house there are many rooms and I go to prepare a place for you.(my paraphrase).
Jesus would have been plain,"you cannot enter my father's house without purification,beyond what I will do for you.....i cannot except it.
Purgatory is ultimately Jesus' Divine Mercy.
Catholics need to pray for the poor souls in Purgatory that have been forgotten. The poor Holy souls who have no one praying for them. Their are different level in Purgatory. Their are souls so deep inside Purgatory, and they are so close to Hell, they get tormented and abused by the demonic. These Holy souls need our prayers. people should pray The Saint Gertrude Prayer every chance they can. A person can cooperate in GOD’s mercy releasing thousands of souls during their lifetime praying for the Holy souls in Purgatory.
Where in Mathew 25:31-46 does it say during the final judgement “we will be judged in front of everyone and everything will be known” as you said at 8:28
Purgatory is one of the most blasphemous teachings of the catholic church.
It's really not though. It's one of the most misunderstood teachings by non-catholics. They think it negates the finished work of Christ which it does no such thing.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial It clearly does if your teaching that the finished work of Christ wasn't sufficient. Just like bowing down to statues and praying to the virgin mary which the bible says not to do, calling priests father or the pope holy father which the bible says not to do, being repetitive with your prayers which the bible says not to do and many other blasphemous teachings of the catholic church. You need to pray to Jesus to show you the truth not the virgin Mary or a dead saint but Jesus himself otherwise you will hear Jesus say on judgement day He never knew you along with the pope and hundreds of millions of other Catholics.

Sanctification is Necessary
We must be holy (sinless, perfect, clean) to see the God and enter into his kingdom...
Hebrews 12:5-11
Hebrews 12:14
Hebrews 12:22-24
2 Thessalonians 2:13-14
1 Corinthians 3:10-17
Revelation 21:26-27
1 Peter 1:3-7
Zechariah 13:9
1 John 5:16-17
Matthew 5:48
We must be holy (sinless, perfect, clean) to see God and enter into His kingdom. This is evident by the numerous scriptures that tell us that we cannot see God being unclean, we cannot see the Lord unless we are holy, we must be made perfect, etc. This can either be done by dying with no sin through our suffering and good will on Earth, or by dying with lesser sins and being made pure by God as through fire. This fire is the purgatory in which Catholics believe. If God deems us worthy of entering heaven, but we have unconfessed lesser sins, then we are given the opportunity through the grace of God to enter purgatory to purge the remaining sins to be made pure and holy so that we may join Him in heaven.
Owed Debt
We owe God an account for all of our actions good or bad, and will need to repay Him...
Luke 12:57-59
Matthew 5:25-26
Matthew 18:34-35
2 Corinthians 5:10
God is described as our Father in the Bible and is truly our ultimate Father. During purgatory, we are to pay off the debt we have made here on Earth. We need to be pure to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This debt is not like a cruel punishment, but something a father does out of love. Every sin that we commit greatly saddens our Father similar to a child and his/her parents. Our Father wants us to be with him forever in heaven, though, and thus we need to be cleansed of all our sins and tendency to sin. Nothing impure can enter into His Kingdom.
Atonement for the Dead
Those who have died are prayed for so that they might receive mercy...
2 Maccabees 12:43-46
2 Timothy 1:16-18
Praying for the "dead" is something that has been done from the beginning. As Catholics, though, we do not need to pray for those that have been deemed to be in heavens such as saints, but ask for their prayers. Besides that, even if we are unsure whether they are in purgatory or Hell, we are called to pray for them. Although, there is not too much scriptural evidence of praying for the "dead", 2 Maccabees is pretty clear that it is something holy and pleasing to do. Since Jesus is God of the living (Matthew 22:31) and there is a purgatory, it would be a very good thing to pray for their souls and make atonement for them.
Suffering
Our suffering is a necessary part of obtaining sactification so that we might be worthy to be in the presence of God...
Romans 5:3-5
Hebrews 12:5-11
1 Peter 1:3-7
Zechariah 13:9
It is impossible to have lived and not suffered in one way or another. Our life may end short, we may live long with a painful illness, and even from the point we are born our bodies suffer the shock of the cold air after being in the warm womb of our mother. This suffering that we endure is in union with the suffering Christ endured and as such is powerful in many ways. When looking at the many times we fail to follow God's will, He is forgiving and loving like a father and yet we are disciplined as a son is as well. This discipline is necessary to get us to where He wants us to be, which is to share in His holiness. For some of us, at the end of our lives we may not have ended in an unclean state. In these cases, Catholics believe in purgatory as many scriptures indicate a place to go through the fire to be purified and made holy for heaven. After all, unless we are made holy/unclean we cannot see our Lord.
@@firekoovin3347 You are delusional 2 Thessalonians 2:10. I hope Jesus opens your eyes to the false teachings of the catholic church because you clearly dont understand the bible.
So is “once saved always saved”
Why did the criminal on the right of Jesus on the cross never went to purgatory but straith to paradise not anymore to your purgatory for purification? What a demonic teaching.
The reason is simple: The man was remorseful for what he had done (unlike the other thief) and had confessed Jesus as King and Jesus had totally FORGIVEN him. People go to purgatory for purification when they die WITHOUT repenting of (and seeking forgiveness for) certain sins.
@@jerome8950 prove to me your idea using the bible
@@reylambarte5615 '...prove to me your idea using the bible...' First you prove you even have a bible. Without the Teaching Authority of the Catholic Magisterium there is NO BIBLE. Outside of that you might make a case there are some 'holy writings' existing before the time of Jesus; but even among the Jewish Authorities of the time there were major disputes of what exactly was Scripture. Jesus and the disciples used the Septuagint, which most Protestants reject.
Secondly your whole 'washed by the blood of Jesus' false theology makes a monster out of Jesus. If all Jesus has to do is 'wash you with His blood' then why does He wash some and not others??? If one subscribes to your false misleading theology then you MUST be a believer in Universal Salvation; or you are teaching God is like the ancient pagan gods who for their amusement would torture some humans while giving others riches and an easy life. What a bunch of self-gratifying nonsense you are espousing here. It has no place in Christianity.
@@reylambarte5615 Prove to you? It's very simple. The good thief went straight to paradise without passing through purgatory because he was repentant and was FORGIVEN by Jesus. By virtue of this forgiveness, he had NO stain of sin at the moment he died, and so could go straight to heaven. However, if a person is guilty of sin "that leads to death" (1 John 5:16-17) and fails to REPENT and receive FORGIVENESS before he dies, such a person goes straight to Hell (the Bible describes going to Hell as a form of "death" Revelation 20:14). But what about a person who is guilty of sin "that does NOT LEAD TO DEATH" (1 John 5:16-17) and fails to receive forgiveness before he dies? That person would not go straight to HELL (i.e "eternal death" ) because his sin is a sin that DOES NOT lead to death. But would he go STRAIGHT to heaven? No, because NO FORM of impurity (sin) can enter Heaven (Revelation 21:27). Thus, the ONLY option left for such a person is to undergo a period of purification in the after - life before entering heaven. The church calls this purification phase purgatory
even Jesus vistied purgatory. Does you bible say he bypassed Jesus?
I know it’s been like 2 years since this is posted but I’m a Lutheran born and raised my whole life. I have always wondered if purgatory is biblical, why does Jesus tell the thief on the cross that he will be with him in heaven that day? He was a sinner his whole life and would be required to go to purgatory no?
Thank you for the question. The thief was under the old Covenant law, not the New Testament law or teaching, because Jesus had not even died or risen yet.
That aside, we don't know for sure whether he went to heaven that day or had to go to purgatory first. In Jesus wouldn't even rise and set people free from their sins for 3 days until he rose from the dead. So he could have gone to the Abode of the Dead during that time which is where everyone else was that Jesus rescued.
Either way, the Catholic Church teaches that certain people can go straight to heaven. He had perfect contrition of sin on his Deathbed and so could have gone straight to heaven. Not everybody goes to purgatory first. On the other hand, it is possible that he did and still went to heaven with Christ that day since it's outside of space and time. It doesn't really match up one with the other like our timelines do here. Hope that helps.
I'm still trying to understand how a Baptist friend of mine could actually argue that sending a believer with some sins still on their soul to Purgatory diminishes Christ's atonement, even though just before that they told me their theological sends that soul to HELL instead.
It is therefore a just and holy deed to pray for the dead, so they may be loosed of their sins. (2 Maccabees 12:46)
If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. (1 Corinthians 3:15)
Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny." (Matthew 5:26)
Jesus said, "I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last copper." (Luke 12:59)
I have this diagram that says "Purgatory is for SAVED Christians" that explains Purgatory well.
Purgatory is not in the Bible God alone can save your life. Don't go to the catholics doctrines let anyone not to deceive you
the bible isn't in the bible you clown😜
Purgatory is biblical. Hence the video.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial just type and see who changed the sabbath? Who you are to changed the Jehovah's words God hates idolatry whoever worship and follow catholic doctrines will be punish and thrown into the lake of fires.
For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin. (2 Maccabees 12:44-45)

You mentioned that purgatory would seize to exist at the final judgement.
And also said that no imperfection will get to heaven.
What of those that will make it to purgatory just within a short period before the last judgement and they definitely need time for cleansing?
If they make it to purgatory instead of Heaven, it'll probably be short since the Bible talks about great tribulations at the end. If people make it through that they will be purged and have complete Faith in God and probably even perfection are close to it
What confuses me about Bryan's comment about Rev 21 is that if you look at the context, this verse refers to the New Heaven (and the New Earth) at the end of time, after the Tribulation.
I wish I could like (👍) your video thrice.
I have a strong argument against Purgatory. I would like to respectfully present it to all of you. Purgatory never sat right with me as I thought about it. It seems like a silly/false thing from my perspective. I have not grown up in the Roman Catholic Church so i look at scripture without any preconceived notions about what I'm going to find there. I did not grow up religious so I also did not have a strong perspective on Christianity or its doctrines growing up. Just so you know where I'm coming from. I came to Christ in my early 20's when searching if God existed. With that being said, I will proceed. The doctrine of purgatory cannot be true if another doctrine that we hold even closer to us is true. I believe both doctrines are dogmas in the Roman Catholic Church. There is purgatory, but then there is also The Resurrection of the Saints. Here is the argument : If the resurrection of the saints (also called the 1st resurrection) is true, then purgatory can not be true. Why? : The reason is because the way purgatory reads or is believed throughout history is that it is a sentence or holding place to purge temporal sins before entering heaven or Gods Presence. According to Roman Catholic belief and history there are different amounts of sentences to this temporal punishment. Some long, some short, some ridiculously long etc. Now, Christians die every day. They will die every day all the way up to THAT day. The day Jesus speaks of when he will raise up ALL of those who believe, glorify them in new flesh, and those who are still alive will also be changed and glorified instantly and we will all be re-united with the Lord forever. It is like a family event! It is extremely exciting. We both, RCC and Prot , share in this hope. This is the Great resurrection, also called the FIRST resurrection. These are those who are resurrected to eternal life. Now.....How can all Saints be resurrected ALONG WITH those who have not even died yet and be united with Christ immediately if they A. have not FINISHED their temporal punishment (those who were dead) and or B. have not died or started to serve that purgatory sentence yet? I mean.....those alive in Christ when he comes are not perfect......or are they? If we take the protestant belief that ALL and I mean A L L sin is purged when we trust in Christ then this problem does not exist. BUT.....if we go the route of purgatory then this event simply cannot happen. It is an impossibility. It is only possible if purgatory is not true. While doing a bit more digging, I found that Purgatory is not dogma in the Roman Catholic Church. BUT.....The Resurrection of the Saints is. Therefore you would have to believe in the Dogma over the doctrine. They are not compatible. and if they are not compatible and purgatory is not true, then we must also toss out indulgences, because if purgatory does not exist then indulgences also do not exist and are pointless.
Which bible app that had Maccabees
Any Catholic Bible. New American translation. Revised standard version, Catholic edition.
In the creed when it is said that Jesus descended into hell, it refers to purgatory where the righteous and those who still needed to be cleansed waited for Christ.
Not quite the same. It refers to Hades (or the abode of the dead) where souls waited for Christ. But that is where the Latin word Purgatorio comes from and the English word Purgatory
Which creed?
When Jesus said hell then it hell
I am learning about the Catholic faith. So im just wondering about where when jesus is dying in the cross and tells the man on the other cross he will join him in Heaven?
Why do so few Catholics read the Bible? No point arguing that they do. I was a Catholic (still am, sorta), most Sundays I attend both a Mass and a Baptist service, though I don't take communion with either.
No point arguing that you get the whole bible every three years either, as there are very few Catholics other than priests, monks and nuns who could quote you a single verse.
Even the most ignorant Baptist who attends services every Sunday can quote you all the verses that they call "The Roman Road" to salvation.
Btw, I love this video, and plan to watch it again and take notes.
Jehovah's witnesses also memorize their bible, and most of sects do require this kind of work.
What about our sin nature that we inherited from Adam? Does that get erased in saints? Or is that still apart of us regardless until we die?
Original sin, baptism purifies us of our original sin
Baptism erases the origin sin. If you are not baptised it means that you are a pagan and you have an origin sin.
Matthew 12:32 does not imply that there's a third place in any way, shape, or form. You are "clearly" reading your belief into the text. If there was such a place as "purgatory" then Jesus would be as plain about it as He is about Heaven and Hell. The problem is that you don't believe that the death, shed blood , resurrection, and perfect righteousness of Jesus is sufficient enough to make us perfect in the presence of God immediately. What you don't realize is that Holy Spirit changes our hearts here on earth, but we will be forever changed by God Himself in the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:42-44).
So if we confess our sins He isn’t faithful to forgive our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousnesses?
