If purgatory exists, then Jesus suffered, sacrificed His life and died for nothing. The truth is that purgatory does not exist! It is an invention of the Roman Catholic Church and it has been exploited for centuries.
I remember when my dad passed away in 1993 and I went to Puerto Rico to be with my mom. We went to visit his older half-sister and she said to us, “I’m praying for him every day.” Mom appreciated it. I didn’t know what to say. Mom regularly paid the Catholic Church to “say a Mass” for my father.
Now, at the time, I was attending a Progressive church. I still wasn’t born-again, but that sounded weird. I didn’t get it. It was years since I had been in a Catholic Church and I had forgotten all about purgatory. Apparently my mom and aunt believed my dad was there and that prayers and masses would shorten his sentence. (Those are called “indulgences” and I’ll get into more details on them in a later post.) However, no one knew how long the sentence was. And that’s just it. No one does know how long their sentence in purgatory is. Because it doesn’t exist!
What is Purgatory?
If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly…
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Jesus Christ is coming back soon! Are you ready?
