How about the quote from Jesus: “Until you have paid the last penny.”

He wasn’t talking about hell.

“How about the quote from Jesus: “Until you have paid the last penny.”

He wasn’t talking about hell.”

Here is the verse you are meaning? (Luke 12):

“58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.”

Again I confess it as the word of God, but I don’t believe it is teaching us that purgatory exists. It just doesn’t seem to be the plain meaning of the text to me.
