To: Salvation; All
God Almighty and the Lord Jesus Christ only spoke about Heaven and Hell. I have read many articles by 4th through 16th century RC saints and the torment of Purgatory that they describe always resembles the same descriptions that the Lord Jesus Christ taught about in the Gospels.

I am saved by the grace of God; my salvation is assured by God and the cross of Christ who died for ALL my sins; Christ was a Ransom as the Lamb of God; and I am forgiven of all my sins by His completed works on the cross and the glory of His resurrection; why then, given these truths from the Bible; would God wish to further punish forgiven believers inside a torment... Christ bore all sins on the cross; His cross work was not so small that He could not provide complete forgiveness to all sins.
