Quote
“We must not make purgatory into a flaming concentration camp on the brink of hell—or even a ‘hell for a short time.’ It is blasphemous to think of it as a place where a petty God exacts the last pound—or ounce—of flesh.... St. Catherine of Genoa, a mystic of the 15th century, wrote that the ‘fire’ of purgatory is God’s love ‘burning’ the soul so that, at last, the soul is wholly aflame. It is the pain of wanting to be made totally worthy of One who is seen as infinitely lovable, the pain of desire for union that is now absolutely assured, but not yet fully tasted” (Leonard Foley, O.F.M., Believing in Jesus).

initially we are able to agree that God is all-potential, all-awareness and Love, and present day everywhere, there is nowhere the place he's not. It skill he's not break free His Creations for out of His very own substance He has created all issues considered and unseen. consequently ALL IS GOD, and what the Divine Presence has created is suitable. this is for mankind to artwork with the regulation and not against it. I seek advice from the regulation of affection that's giving, and is the alternative to the non-public self theory of taking from the Universe regardless of it could. those are difficulty-unfastened regulations of life.

I think it is nonsense, the Bible teaches nothing besides Heaven or Hell, there is no such place as Purgatory.

It's nonsense. If the Blood of Christ couldn't cleanse the sinner, NOTHING will... Jim
