Where is purgatory in the Bible

    

1 Corinthians 3:13-15

King James Version (KJV)

 ¹³Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
 ¹⁴If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

 ¹⁵If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

        This is exactly what the Catholic Church says. If we have some sins that needs to be atoned for then we go to purgatory (he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. )

        Look at verse 14 he shall receive a reward. This is talking about a good man who's work shall be tried by fire.

        Next we have St. Paul talking about people being baptized for the dead. It is clear here that there is nothing wrong with being baptized for the dead. And if all go to heaven and there is no purgatory then why again are they being baptized for the dead? And why is Paul not telling them to stop? 

1 Corinthians 15:29

King James Version (KJV)

 ²⁹Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

     Next we have St. Jude telling us to have compassion on some and to save others with fear, pulling them out of the fire. He can't be talking about Hell because there is no way out of Hell. But the church teaches us to pray for the dead in purgatory and that is exactly what St. Jude is telling us here.

Jude 1:22-23

King James Version (KJV)

²²And of some have compassion, making a difference:
 ²³And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

      The next thing we have to ask ourselves is did Jesus Lie? If there is no purgatory then how are we going to answer for every word and thought?

Matthew 12:36-37

King James Version (KJV)

 ³⁶But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

 ³⁷For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned

       Ask any Catholic on the street and he can tell you about purgatory. In the Bible days it was the same thing, that's why there wasn't too much written about it except in passing as St. Paul did in the first scriptures above. The only way the scriptures above makes any sense is if the Catholic Church is Right. ..... Remember the most important thing for all of us to do is Love and forgive each other then God will have mercy on us. May God grant you the grace to Love and forgive as Jesus taught us. Amen
