Good morning read cash fam.

For this blog, I have no intention to promote religion as a Catholic Faith Defender I just want to clarify some things that many questions about our faith one example is purgatory.

So if you ever read this article, please don't bash me. Explaining what others didn't understand in our faith is not bad, isn't it?

Just imagine you are explaining your side if someone accused you of something you did not do.

The Purgatory

One of the proofs that the Lord God and the Catholic Church are good is the One True Church.

If you are a member of a Bible Only sect and you do not believe in Purgatory, this topic is for you.

Let's break down, examine like a surgeon the Catholic belief in Purgatory. For good conversation, I will put the numbers and tell you, where NUMBER you stopped, where you disagree and hopefully you can also clearly explain why you disagree with what is written in this number. Do you agree?

NOTE: Please note the number you do not agree with. Thank you.

Why Purgatory?

1) God is good. (Psalm 107: 1) Do you agree? If you agree, please continue with number 2.

2) Heaven is the new Jerusalem, it is home to pure souls. If you agree, proceed to number 3.

3) No unclean person can enter heaven. (Revelation 21:27: “But nothing unclean shall enter it…”)

4) If you get to number 4 without seeing anything you are objecting to, it means you believe God is NOT BAD. Because there is heaven for good souls and he does not allow sin to accompany them.

5) The person with superficial sins (venial sins) should not be sent straight to Hell. Because it is not fair for him to burn forever in hell, eternity, because of superficial sin only. Because God is reasonable or good, he will not allow this to happen. (you agree to this because you reached number 5 without complaining)

6) Because it says in number-3, no unclean thing can enter heaven. That is, the soul is first cleansed of its superficial sins before it can enter heaven. Do you agree?

If you’ve reached number 6 and you haven’t complained yet, let’s move on.

7) When you get to number-7, that is, you are like the early Christians who believed here that those who enter heaven are only clean, people with superficial sin do not go straight to hell because God is just and good. He could not go to heaven immediately because he was not clean and it was clearly stated that no unclean person could enter heaven. Do you agree that you share the same beliefs as the early Christians?

8.) Since you have reached number 7, it means you also believe that the soul is purified before entering heaven. If the Church calls this event Purgatory, no sin has taken place. Because you were willing to believe this before, you reached number 8 and you were willing that nothing bad happened, just given the call. No one was harmed, the Church did not lie, the Church did not encourage sin. In other words, no sin occurred. That is, there is nothing wrong with believing in Purgatory.

9) When you love the person, you will pray for him so that he will not perish. It is only right to pray for those who are in a state of purification or what the Church calls purgatory.

10) God is good so there is Purgatory. Because if the person whose sin is only superficial is taken by God to hell to burn the soul for all of eternity, it is no longer a good deed because it is not just. Nor is it just that even the unclean from sin can enter heaven, the home of good people and God, the fountain of righteousness. Because God is good, there is Purgatory. If Purgatory is right and the Catholic Church believes in it, why are you not in the Catholic Church?

Where did you stop, what number did you reject and don’t want to believe? Why? When you don’t pronounce the number it means you believe it and you don’t re-reject it.

Thank you.

I hope you guys don't feel bad at me for sharing something offensive to others' beliefs as I said in my intro this is not my intention to ruin faith. Hope you guys understand me I just explaining my side.

And please remember that I have no intention to challenge debate with another sect. JUST LOVE. hehe

God bless and God loves us. PROMISE.
