Catholics who believe a purifying fire will purge away their sins are deluded victims of a fatal fabrication.

Gendron claims to be a "Christian," but he calls Scripture a "fabrication"?

If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.-- 1 Cor 3:15

For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. -- Dt 4:24

For our God is a consuming fire. -- Hebrews 12:29

Oh, look: God is a "consuming fire," when you draw close to him your sins are burned away. Latin theologians called this "purgatory". Gendron calls it a "fabrication".

I think I'll stick with the Bible, thank you very much.

For [human fathers] indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. 11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful ... -- Hebrews 12:10-11

A fabrication? LOL ...

Well, lies told by bigots are still lies.

Is it a lack of literacy? Honesty? Mental acuity? What is it that makes the bigots tick?

Here is Rashi's commentary on Deuteronomy 4:24:
(24) A JEALOUS GOD. jealous to take vengeance,
...................
glowing in his anger to exact punishment
from those who worship idols;
cf Rashi on (Num:25:11):(re: PHINEAS)
Shabbat Shalom

It is a fabrication...The verse doesn't say anything about sins...It's about unprofitable works...

There is no sin attributed to those at this judgment...These are born again Christians in heaven...

Where did you get the idea that souls and spirits could feel pain??? There are no fleshy bodies at this judgment...
