QUESTION: Should we believe in purgatory?

ANSWER: Purgatory is not a biblical doctrine! It is a false doctrine which says that Catholics, who are too good to go to hell and too bad to go to heaven, go into an intermediate place (purgatory) in order to be purged from their sins to become fit for heaven!

The Bible teaches that “it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). There is no second chance! Luke 16:26 teaches that there is a great gulf fixed, so that none can travel from one place to the other after death!
