First, a definition is in order: what is Purgatory?

Purgatory is not Hell minus a few torments and degrees Fahrenheit; it's not Heaven minus joy. It's not a "Third Final Destination" of souls. Purgatory is simply the place where already saved souls are cleansed of the temporal effects of sin before they are allowed to see the holy face of Almighty God. Revelation 21:27 tells us that "...nothing unclean will enter [Heaven]."


Daniel 12:2, Matthew 12:32, 1 Corinthians 3:13-15, 2 Timothy 1:16-18, Hebrews 12:14, Hebrews 12:22-23, 1 Peter 4:6 and Revelation 21:10, 27 all speak of Purgatory in their telling of the need for purification, prayers for the dead, Christ's preaching to the dead, or how nothing unclean will see God.

Even the The Talmud speaks of Purgatory:

Sabbath 33b:
"The judgment of the wicked in purgatory is twelve months."
Rosh HaShanah 16b-17a:
"It has been taught that the school of Shammai says: "There will be three groups on Judgment Day (yom haDin):

to offend anyone, but most of the people who choose to answer only deliver rudeness. I know there are many "religious" and non-religious people here who are attacked daily, but why is it that because of that, everyone has to be so jaded that you feel it necessary to insult someone just because you misunderstood the question and make them feel so lousy for asking a serious question. Do you not sometimes ask a question that you hope others will give you an honest non-judgemental answer. If so then why do you answer questions in the same manner. I hope you all have a wonderful day

(and to those who already know where this quote comes from, please don't give it away)

Christians, would you agree or disagree with the following quote.
"He that is slow to believe in anything and everything is of great understanding, for belief in one false principle is the beginning of all unwisdom."

When I was growing up, people would tell me the world would be a different place when I'm an adult. But I have have a another theory, and I believe the world is exactly the same as it was when I was younger, while the people in this world are different. Would you agree or disagree and why?

Is it because they are 'moderate'? If the majority of Muslims worldwide are moderates as I've heard, why are their actions so ineffective?

1. My Christian/Catholic friends always seem to want to shove their beliefs down my throat, but my Jewish/Buddhist friends never do. Why is this?

2. Why can't people understand that you didn't really choose to be the religion you are? Most likely, your parents influenced you to think the way they do about religion.

3. If God is almighty and giving, why is he letting so many people in places like Africa live through such a horrible life?

Go ahead and be rude to me, it's just yahoo answers. I don't really care, I just wanted some opinions on these questions.

Richard Dawkins is a genius. He revoltionized the field of Evolutionary Biology with his book, the Selfish Gene. This book opened up biologists eyes as to how important genetics are to the evolutionary process. I think he is a very smart man who deserves a little more respect from the public. The scientific community has nothing but respect for Dawkins.

I posted a question an hour ago about why kids grow up straight if they are brought up right. It was in response to a reverse question as to why kids grow up gay if they are brought up right. A question raised by someone else, which I thought was really stupid, so I asked mine to make a point. But the responses I got showed that the people didn't read the entire question and thought I was being against gay people, which would be rather odd since I'm gay myself.

This is an e-mail I recieved from your so called kind and intelligent atheists on Yahoo Answers:
Hello Pikabo. W (pikaboward),

You have received a message from another user!

From: 40oz2freedom

Subject: u r deluded....

Message: Wtf does it mean when you say you see god all around you. You CHOOSE to see god all around you. Those of us that are more analytical and choose to use our frontal lobes dismiss overly simplistic answers and seek the truth, even though it requires more effort and (gasp!) living with not knowing for a while.

Please, use the brain (you think god, but actually) evolution gave you.

Do you think that God does not want us to wear makeup and jewelry? Do you think that it constitutes vanity? If so, where to draw the line? Is a little acceptable, or does any article that does not serve a practical purpose only serve for vanity? What do you think of piercings (besides ears) and tatoos? Are they appropriate for Christians?
