When we die, does every bad thing we did go with us to pergatory?

Question

or just the stuff we didn't ask for forgiveness. btw i'm talking about christian religion. sorry for my grammar i'm not the best at it

Answer 1

Purgatory is not a Catholic teaching as some here have stated, it "used" to be a Catholic teaching until recently when they woke up and rightfully changed their doctrine, Catholics were moving forward with Pope John Paul II but others like to live in the past such as the current Pope who is backward and isn't wanted by the masses and all the other religions who have no idea about what Catholic doctrine really is yet think they know all about it because of what some loopy Catholic neighbour tells them or their own ignorant pastor who knows nothing but hearsay

Edit:
Also to the answer below me, Catholic doctrine does not state that it is the one true church, once again information from loopy Catholics or ignorant people who haven't read Vatican documents which state that every religion is acceptable and can be learned from, the fact that Catholics don't baptise people who have already been baptised in another church when they want to become a catholic proves that catholic doctrine does not claim that it is the one and only true church, but don't tell other christians that as it will get them angry to think that catholics are righting the wrongs of the past, they want it to remain in the past so criticise whatever they can

Answer 2

Purgatory is the state of existence where, absent a plenary indulgence of the church, our attachment to sin is removed, and we are prepared for a guaranteed eternity in heaven.

Unconfessed venial sins, and continued personal attachment to already confessed sins, are dealt with in purgatory, which is scheduled to go "out of business" on Judgment Day.

From the Catholic Catechism:

1031 The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned. The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of Florence and Trent. The tradition of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a cleansing fire:

As for certain lesser faults, we must believe that, before the Final Judgment, there is a purifying fire. He who is truth says that whoever utters blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will be pardoned neither in this age nor in the age to come. From this sentence we understand that certain offenses can be forgiven in this age, but certain others in the age to come.

1472 To understand this doctrine and practice of the Church, it is necessary to understand that sin has a double consequence. Grave sin deprives us of communion with God and therefore makes us incapable of eternal life, the privation of which is called the "eternal punishment" of sin. On the other hand every sin, even venial, entails an unhealthy attachment to creatures, which must be purified either here on earth, or after death in the state called Purgatory. This purification frees one from what is called the "temporal punishment" of sin. These two punishments must not be conceived of as a kind of vengeance inflicted by God from without, but as following from the very nature of sin. A conversion which proceeds from a fervent charity can attain the complete purification of the sinner in such a way that no punishment would remain.

Answer 3

Interesting. I've seen on other questions how Catholics are always saying theirs is the one true church, and the reason there are so many denominations of Christianity is because we don't interpret the bible correctly.

Now someone is saying the doctrine of purgatory, once taught by the Catholic church, is not taught any longer.

Hm.

Answer 4

Purgatory is not in scripture. That is a false teaching made up by the Catholic Church. Here are the facts.

Without Christ as your personal savior, you will be judged by all of your works, good or bad. - Rev. 20:13

With Christ as your personal savior, you will only be rewarded by what you have done in the spirit. Anything that was of the flesh will be burned up. - 1 Cor. 3

Answer 5

No, because there is no purgatory. The bible does not speak of it. When you die, you either go to heaven or hell.

Answer 6

There is no such thing as purgatory.

Read and study the Bible, it has the answers that you are looking for. It is trustworthy and true. All Biblical prophecy that has been fulfilled so far has been 100% accurate.

Answer 7

Unconfessed mortal sins

Answer 8

Purgatory is a catholic concept, a limbo, where you stay until you've been absolved of your unrepented sins

Answer 9

Is There a Purgatory?

PURGATORY is a Roman Catholic doctrine. In the creed of Pope Pius IV the following definition is given for purgatory: “I constantly hold that there is a purgatory, and that the souls therein detained are helped by the suffrages of the faithful.”

For the benefit of those unacquainted with the dogma, it is briefly this: That when a Catholic dies in venial sin he is not in fact dead, but his soul is conscious in a place of temporary punishment called “purgatory,” and the duration of his punishment in purgatory may be shortened, and the soul detained therein may be helped by suffrages, or prayers, and by sacrifices of the living.

For the doctrine of purgatory to be true, God’s Word, the Bible, must show (1) that every man has a soul that is separate and detachable from the body; (2) that there is no death of the human soul or creature, only the body dying and the soul continuing to live; (3) that the human dead are conscious in another world; and (4) that those in purgatory can be helped and benefited by money contributions made by their friends on earth and applied toward religious prayers and masses.

Does the Bible teach that man has a soul that is separate and, at death, detachable from the body? No! The Bible defines soul to mean both the human creature himself and also the conscious, breathing existence he enjoys when alive. The Bible teaching is that man IS a soul. Genesis 2:7 reads: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” The man’s body and the breath that God breathed into his nostrils to animate the body together constitute the soul, the creature, that lives. Soul also refers to the conscious, breathing existence of a living creature, but at no time is it a mysterious immortal something in man that lives on.

Is it true that the body dies and the soul lives on? No! Pagan nations that “sacrifice to demons [devils], and not to God,” teach that there is a soul inside man’s body and that it is immortal and so cannot die. Such teaching is therefore of the Devil. (1 Cor. 10:20) Jesus well said of the Devil: “He is a liar and the father of the lie.” Why? Because the sinner soul dies. Ezekiel 18:4, 20 (AS) reads: “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” Said God to the “living soul,” Adam: “Dust you are and to dust you will return.”—John 8:44; Gen. 3:19.

When a man dies, is the soul conscious anywhere thereafter? No! It is the living soul or creature that is conscious; and when a man or soul dies, his breathing, conscious existence ceases. Such is the indisputable Bible truth: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” (Eccl. 9:5) The dead man has no more thoughts anywhere: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground, in that day his thoughts do perish.” Where there is no conscious existence, no thought, there can be no pain or suffering, in other words, no purgatory.—Ps. 146:4.Do you pay for your sins after death? Not according to the Bible, the Word of God. In the first place it tells us that man does not have a soul but is a soul: “The Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth, and breathed into his face the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Secondly, the Bible testifies that the soul is mortal, not immortal: “The soul that sinneth the same shall die.” “He [Jesus] hath delivered his soul unto death.” And, thirdly, it assures us that the dead are unconscious: “They live under sentence of death; and when death comes, of nothing will they be aware any longer; no reward can they receive, . . . no love, no hatred, no envy can they feel . . . Whatever lies in thy power, do while do it thou canst; there will be no doing, no scheming, no wisdom or skill left to thee in the grave, that soon shall be thy home.”—Gen. 2:7; Ezek. 18:20; Isa. 53:12, Dy; Eccl. 9:5, 6, 10, Knox.

So if man is a soul rather than having a soul, and if that soul is mortal, and if at death his thoughts perish, then how could man be conscious in purgatory after death?

The idea of atoning for one’s sins by suffering after death, or even in this present life, is foreign to the Scriptures. When Jesus cured the paralytic brought to him, Jesus simply said: “Take courage, son; thy sins are forgiven thee.” That was it. Jesus said nothing about his needing to suffer for them. Likewise when he showed his disciples that “repentance and remission of sins” was to be preached, he said nothing about doing penance or suffering later for one’s sins. And so also the apostle Peter counseled the Jews: “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out,” but again nothing about penance or suffering for sins. Testifying to the same truth, the apostle John wrote: “If we walk in the light as he also is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.” If the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin, that leaves none to be cleansed by purgatorial fires.—Matt. 9:2; Luke 24:47; Acts 3:1

Answer 10

Sweetie, there IS no purgatory. Don't worry. You're safe.
