“Purgatory”

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 3:10-15
SPEAKER: Pastor Andy Tse

Sermon Notes:

Catholicism teaches that:

• Purgatory is a timeless state of purification for the souls of believers before they enter heaven.
• ⁠We can lessen the purification process through various means such as almsgiving, indulgences, and works of penance.
• This doctrine must be believed by all faithful Catholics

Scripture teaches:

• Death immediately sanctifies a believer, therefore there is no process of purification needed.
• ⁠Christ’s blood cleanses us from all sins. We stand justified before the Father.
• ⁠Purgatory and indulgences is foreign to scripture.
