Learning all about this purgatory stuff was in a way very unique
They call its awakening, the dark night of the soul, ascending, washing of the garments. In order to begin ascending you have to defeat yourself, completely surrendering giving up the idea of control. The death of the egotistical human in you.
This was a great pick for a video. Thanks for sharing with us.
Interesting to know how this idea came to be. I don't think nearly enough people know about these things (neither christians nor atheists), and it'd maybe further our mutual understanding to learn about it.
True Christians know that purgatory is a catholic scam , but catholics believe this diabolical Lie !
Christians don't know about it because it's not in the Bible. Nowhere in there at all does it talk about this place.
@wingnutmcspazatron3957 you are ignorant and comment as if you were wise. Catholics are Christians. As a matter a fact the first Christians do your research and the bible does speak about it, tell me does the bible have the word trinity in it? Yet we believe in it don't we. Grow up and research things before talking none sense and looking ignorant
Purgatory is real... 😪 In the Old Testament. The first mention of Purgatory in the Bible is in 2 Maccabees 12:46: “Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be freed from sin.”
Some people do not accept Maccabees as book of the Bible. This is unfortunate since it is that their Bibles have been edited and are missing books. (Find out Why Catholic Bibles Are Different) Even if a person does not accept the book of Maccabees, it at least has historical value for we can learn what the pre-Christian community believed. Remember, Even if you die in a state of grace, meaning you don’t have a mortal sin on your soul, you still aren’t necessarily ready for heaven. You still may have venial sins on your soul or be too attached to earthly life. Just like you wouldn’t go to Sunday dinner dressed in rags and covered in dirt, you wouldn’t go to God’s eternal feast in heaven attached to sin and earthly concerns. 🙏🏼
Also 1 Corinthians 3:12-17 is proof for purgatory in the Bible
Bell, can you provide me with a list of the venial sins that will send me to purgatory, I want to stop committing them so as to avoid purgatory. Also, how long does a sentence to purgatory last? How do we know when our loved ones are out of purgatory so we can stop praying for them to get out? I have other questions for you but time and space prevents me from asking then now.
For your next Greek mythology video could you try the story of Ulysses and Nausicca ? She's pretty cool
Comes from Judaism. Maccabees. My Jewish relatives pray for their dead family. Reason not in protestant bible is because they remove these books.
Like Martin Luther- removed 7 books & altered the rest in approx 1200 places
Yeah the two verses from Maccabees 12:41 to 46. Also I thought that Judaism is just one whole united religion.
@@monsignor2943 have Jews in my family, different divisions. Liberal, conservative, othodox. Also you can find all over the ot where they would fast & pray for their dead 7 or 8 days
Maybe so but it still doesn't exist
@@thescope2798 yes it does. Just because you refuse to look doesn't make it not be there
@@livingpurgatory2485 ok wow I need to dig more into research hahah I am super into theology of different religions.
Correction: Purgatory wasn’t an INVENTION of the Catholic Church but rather, it was a profound doctrine that was based on the different passages in the Holy Scripture. And also, Purgatory is a place of purification, not punishment because according to Revelation 21:27: “But nothing unclean shall enter it…” therefore, no one can enter the Kingdom of God that is stained by sin.
I do hope you will have a revision on this topic.
Thank you.
When Jesus says we are washed clean by His blood, do you believe Him?
@@wingnutmcspazatron3957 Catholics do believe that we are washed clean by Christ's blood. The existence of Purgatory doesn't contradict the only and (super) suficient sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross.
For the record there are Theology Scholars whom say that Purgatory is described in St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians.
Do you have the versus, perhaps?

Thank you for saying that the concept of Purgatory was “invented” bc it was. It is not Biblical in the slightest. You’re either saved or not. There’s no in-between to weasel your way in. Your trial is here on Earth.
Cause everything that's in the bible is up to date right xD
You realise the Bible is just a collection of books that the Catholic Church considered to be the most important. Yes, it was put together by the Catholic Church, that doesn’t mean however that everything that is not in the Bible is not true.
@The Imperishable Star
The *christian* Bible was writen by the apostles of...you guessed it! *Christ* ...mainly in greek.
And copies of the books recognized as "divine inspired" by the Nicean Council...you know, the council that defined what Christianity is and what it isnt by the founding fathers of the Church before any division between roman, orthodox, protestant, etc...they're still available to this day!
Just learn greek like you average orthodox friend or see a translated version like ol' boy Luther would want you to! Or you can just read the King James's Bible, idk, you do what you want.
@The Imperishable Star That doesn’t really have much to do what I said. However the first Bible was mostly written in Greek, not Aramaic. Secondly saying it’s ‘edited’ is not necessarily correct. The discrepancies between different versions of the Bible are due to ancient inaccurate translations. The general message of course is the same. If you want the original you will have to learn Hebrew for the Old Testament and Greek for the new.
Bro, it's biblical one things for sure you won't see a word "purgatory" but the concept is there, just "read and understand" your bible
Purgatory is NOT a place, it is a PROCESS!
Yes, it happens when the biological functions like the heart beating and brain taking in oxygen ceases. Then the soulless vessel stops existing. Those running on ego and can't let go of self interests to be genuinely unselfish and a self motivator/self starter are those who are in that boat. They're just running on generic feelings and try to act like their a unique thing. One either has ego or a soul. Ego is just animal nature with a generic human skill set.

Purgatory is real.
It is the charges regarding Purgatory that are spurious
It's fake
Good history lesson
It's not made up, nor is it religious. It's a process that the soul goes through. It's about values, virtues, morality, laws of the universe, karma, understanding that what you choose to do through choice and action causes everything that you experience. Wether or not you accept responsibility or choose to blame determines if you ascend. The only way is to follow christ and completely surrendering to God.
My path is nothing but of a false belief .in retrospect I am God. Jk

@@Pattycakes_Cake14 We all have to go thru this... The first mention of Purgatory in the Bible is in 2 Maccabees 12:46: “Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be freed from sin.” 🙏🏼 Get ready!
I don’t believe in purgatory. It’s supposed to be a place where we do penance for our sins to go to Heaven. Which would defeat the purpose of Jesus sacrificing himself on the cross. His death before his resurrection was the ultimate payment for our sins. Past, present and future. All we need to do is have faith in Jesus and confess our sins to him, and we will be forgiven and go to Heaven.
Exactly
The pope is viewed as God on earth so he changed it saying blasphemous things so he is the AntiChrist
Absolutely agree.
@@nickylewilson2922 It doesn't speak of a specific antichrist in biblical scripture. It does say an antichrist spirit through. Anybody whom denies Christ has that very evil spirit in them. I'd say the pope is an antichrist spirit and thee false prophet at best.

@Big SeanGus well, Gahenna- Judaism…Barzakh- Islam…Bardo- Buddhism. Others that outdate all of them combined; however, I understand why he said that. He is referring to Purgatory as purgatory. Not CONCEPTS of similar ideals. People have used purgatory as an umbrella word for a very long time, and he’s trying to make sure we don’t make the same mistakes.

Pergertory is in the original bible. But Martin Luther didn't agree with it so he took it out of the bible😢. However The Catholic Church and the eaten orthodox churches still have the book of maacabees in the bible witch talks about pergertory.
The concept of purgatory is significantly older
It is a ancient Pagan belief adopted by the catholic religion and also praying for the dead they think are alive being purified . That is a diabolical lie !
@@isrberlinerin4063 actually, it's a concept found in many different cultures and religions. The first instances of the concept of purgatory would appear in the Vedic faith (not fully formed version of purgatory), Ancient Egyptian religions and Zoarostrianism (version of Vedic with fully formed concept of purgatory).
Is earth the purgatory?
The video is interesting, nonetheless. But it lacks a radical depth of the history of purgatory, so this video with a title that it’s about the creation of the idea is misleading. It goes back to Judaism, with analogies found in the Torah. The Hebrews were on earth, as God was on top of Mount Sinai, surrounded by a cloud smoke. And when the prophet Moses went up the mountain to meet God, he had to pass through smoke. So this is an analogy that when we die, our souls climb up the spiritual mount Sinai to heaven to meet with God, which requires passing through that smoke. And this is found in 1 Corinthians 3, Saint Paul emphasizes that a soul being taken to heaven passes through a spiritual fire. Hebrews 12:29 says, “Our God is a consuming fire.” So as we draw near to God in heaven, it’s as though we pass a spiritual fire. It’s a realm before entering heaven, as Christianity is a continuation of ancient Judaic concepts. Nonetheless, this video was still very entertaining and informative!
Correct...purgatory goes back to juduism...it was made a dogma later on because our protestant brothers started questioning its reality! But purgatory is a real thing for early Christians and we can trace that through history. This anti catholic people are always misleading people!
There is no purgatory...this concept is made by the vatican
Explain
Daniel 11:35 KJV
And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
Yet religion itself is fact and not made up? I just find it interesting that so many devout Christians say purgatory is fake yet what evidence do we have of everything else being true? This is why I’m Agnostic lol
The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits: “In the final analysis, the Catholic doctrine on purgatory is based on tradition, Not Sacred Scripture!”
Purgatory, no I don't think so.
Anyone who comes from purgatory to testify the validity of that place?
You won't find it in a Protestant bible because they didn't include the Book of Macebes. Read it. You will find it there. At is also in the Old Testament. Forgive me I don't remember the book but I heard it in a lecture. Even though God forgives and wants us with him, we must be washed of the stains on our souls! Read the full bible!!!
Pope John Paul, in his famous allocution of the 1990"s, reaffirmed that "Purgatory
was never a place, it is the condition of the soul" Amen!
Consider this: What if reincarnation occurs here? That a displaced soul is wise enough to return to existance knowing a heaven truly exists and if he does not know that in another life he also has a right to judge?
What will your soul do when the earth is laid to waste by nuclear turmoil? When earth becomes utterly inhabitable (as the Bible predicts), will you wander a spirit in the radiated desert forever? What is "ascension" when your mind is finite, trying to become infinite? That will be an infinite pursuit, never to end. The finite will never reach the infinite, because that's not what the infinite created the finite for.
If it occurred it's soul would have to be cleansed/purified before being sent back and prior memories/experiences erased.
Even common sense alone necesitates purgatory.
Sounds like a gnostic idea that grew organically as fungi of Orthodoxy.
Yup
Yessir.
There is a reference to purgatory in the Bible, St. Paul speaks of it. It isn't that hard to find. You might want to know what a teaching is based on before you just claim it was completely made up off pagan traditions.
This dude is stroking the protestants
The New Catholic Encyclopedia acknowledges: “In the final analysis, the Catholic doctrine on purgatory is based on tradition, NOT SACRED SCRIPTURE.”
@@sunnyjohnson992 there are plently of cases in the bible that talks about purgatory, just because its not directly mentioned dose not mean it is not true. just look at the concept of the trintiy, it could be interpreted as more than one god by the eyes of an outsider. besides the jews also have ttheir own versoin of purgatory.

Hmmmm … let’s see ….Einstein, Newton , Fermi, CS Lewis , Pascal, to name just a tiny number of the most famous believers in God, are you claiming to be so much more wise that these theists?

You have an eternity to think about your decision.

If someone dies thats the having the chance to salvation also stops.
Haha from Donegal, never ever heard it said the way you said it 😅 good attempt though
I'm not surprised that Catholic Church love this passage 2 Maccabees 12:41-46 because all what it does it bring money to the church , indulgent are still very real.. Jesus never taught that you can pay to get your way out . What about poor homeless person who loves Jesus but can nor pay ? In Europe especially in Poland church takes lands, homes from old people who are so indoctrinate that are willing to give all in order to be saved from purgatory.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 , Catholic Church is degrading work of Jesus we don't need Jesus plus, church does not save you only Jesus does. Also God does not keep the journal with all our sins and by the end give us the bill of time in purgatory. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.” - 2 Corinthians 5:8
Been there done that, it's hard x
Purgatory
Street scriptures for lost souls in the crossroads
That saved concept invented by monotheist's to cover up the fact that gods are actually mortal beings who came to Earth a very long time ago.
Everybody now knows the papacy is bad news if I had to guess purgatory was just one more way for them to drum up some more donation money
Jesus said to the dying thief "Today you will be with me in paradise." To believe that Purgatory exists is to cheapen the perfect sacrifice of Christ for the forgiveness of all our sins. It is one of the more disgusting heresies because it directly denies God one of His titles: Mighty to Save.
Believers will pay for sins in this life just as pagans do, but at the moment of our death we are with Christ and our brothers and sisters in Heaven. Who would want it any other way?
Our salvation is not based on our works in this life or the next. It is entirely on the grounds that we placed our faith and trust in Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.
I don't pay for ads on TH-cam now you're giving me purgatory and trying to sell something to me

The moment the narrator said "pagan origin" I knew that this lacks a lot of theological infos/sources
Edit:
"Invented in the middle ages" this has a lot of errors already, this is what happens when you "study" a theological subject without enough theology in it
correct.
It is such a hypocrisy people try to alter the word of God the Bible says if you confess your sins he is faithful and just to cleanse you from all unrighteousness the blood of Jesus atone for all the sins John the Baptist said behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world that is the original sin that is the root cause of sin and he paid the full price by his stripes we are healed and Accepted into the presence of God by his grace and his grace alone is the blood of Christ and the sacrifice on the cross and the resurrection and the ascension to heaven he went into heaven and he had showed the father the price was paid we all have access Those who believe in him Jesus Christ God in the flesh and him alone he paid the price on our behalf the curtain was torn from top to bottom to enter the most holy place in the name of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit it is done stop being hypocrites and understand God‘s word and the power of his sacrifice was enough The Bible says my people perish from lack of knowledge Paul the apostle says absent from the body present with the lord read the rich man and Lazarus read and the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth you study is self approved

When i was living in queens newyork my grandma who was very catholic would go to the candels lit in the church and pray for the souls in pergetory. The big candels were a dollor then 25 cents and 10 cents i think. But the bible says the wages that sin pays is death. Also jesus died for our sins which to me smashes the idea of pergatory so many scriptures that contradict that belief. My grandma and grandpa believed it though my grandmother would have holy water sent from rome that was blessed by the pope she said. She would be up all hours of the night praying to every saint and sprinkling holy water on me when i was sleeping. Just weird things they believed in the religon and purgetory was one of them.

You first statement is FALSE ! The Catholic Church says that the purification in purgatory is only a state for those who are going to heaven. How many other errors have you given in your presentation?
how did they invented purgatory when there is no mention of it in the bible??
But your ignoring biblical scripture like the theft in the night plus St Paul's first Corinthians, refined gold! Our lives or spiritual lives but be refined to enter heaven. The dilemma sin cannot enter heaven. Something we all agree, protestant or catholic. When we died are we sinless?

MATTHEW 10:28
The word purgatory doesn't appear in The Bible because it's an Italian word. A language that did not exist when The Bible was written.
But the concept of purgatory appears numerous times in The Bible.
2 Maccabees 12:41-46, 2 Timothy 1:18, Matthew 12:32, Luke 16:19-16:26, Luke 23:43, 1 Corinthians 3:11-3:15 and Hebrews 12:29
Purgatory happens when the biological functions like the heart beating and brain taking in oxygen ceases. Then the soulless vessel stops existing. Those running on ego and can't let go of self interests to be genuinely unselfish and a self motivator/self starter are those who are in that boat. They're just running on generic feelings and try to act like their a unique thing. One either has ego or a soul. Ego is just animal nature with a generic human skill set.

Because it is in Catholic scripture. 2 maccabees. Protestants didn't like it so they tossed out 7 books that didn't fit their theology. My Jewish friends & family pray for their dead.
Can also see all over ot where when a new died they would pray & fast for 7 or 8 days after. I believe they mention that with Saul
The Bible was created by the church not the opposite, Jesus left behind a church not a book.
