There is no such place or behavior mechanism cleanser as purgatory. God did not take flesh and dwell among us to redeem our sin encrusted souls. He focused upon our spirit attached to our soul, and by separating that spirit from that behavior mechanism by the swift slice of His Word, He made a secure place where He has Promised to have His Life abiding unto the day He redeems our spirit by giving it a new body and new soul fit for eternal living in His Presence.

I think of “purgatory” as a state of being rather than being a physical place.

Whatever sort of cleansing that results from the suffering experienced there is by design, in my ever so humble guess/theory/opinion.

How does the Holy Spirit work today?

Consider what sort of miracles have been done and are being done in our times now vs how they are being received by both the saved and the unsaved?

At what point does our incredulity become blasphemy against His Holy Spirit?

When are those sins forgiven?

What does that sort of sin “look” like on our souls? Our brand new souls?

How does He “see” us?

......”There is no such place or behavior mechanism cleanser as purgatory”.....

The teaching of the process of purification which the catholic curch calls purgatory, “so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven”....then the sufficiency of Jesus Christ is non-existent, unbelieved.

We can know that there is no purgatory simply because the it’s writtn..... “he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Cor. 5:21) ......It’s the great exchange by which we can lose our sins and gain His righteousness, and if we have His righteousness, we are cleansed of sin. We need no further purification.
