The great thing about purgatory is that there is no demonic or Satanic influence being used against us. For reasons unknown to me, many Catholics believe that purgatory is a place of pain. I don't believe that. I believe it's a place of redemption from the chains of sin.
I agree with you in that.
I have never thought of such as a place of pain, Moses was their till Jesus came for him and all, Heaven was not yet set for such people, as Jesus had to come first, so as of one to be elevated to Sainthood worthy of Jesus Christ.
The Kingdom of God here on earth was kicked off created when Jesus went to Heaven and that's the point of such a world has been set for us, we have to abide in Jesus Christ and not of this world that is under delusions, they who get the message and follow through go to Heaven when there body dies and there Soul goes to Heaven. but some are willing to serve Jesus Christ, only that this world is so full of delusions, that not all are so free from such delusions corrupting them, they have faith but they do not know what they do ? as Jesus pointed out about the Jews who sat back and let him be killed ? for they did not know, they had been mislead by the cunning of the ones who crept in unawares to the Jews, they took over the Vineyard and killed all Gods Prophets.
So they who took over the vineyards as such were playing the poor Jews for fools leading them astray for all them years, only for the Jews who had much faith in Moses could have enough faith in Jesus, yet even Paul denied him in fear of such bastards, remember the Cock story. that was the power of such bastard so called Jews in control, remember St Stephen informed all of them the history who they truly were and they killed him for stating the facts and them Paul got the message and turned to follow in Christ Jesus come Hell or high water.
The so called Jews went to hell, but Jesus said as to them who did not know what they do, For God to for give them. so Jesus did not send them to Hell due to not knowing what they do. so they would of went to Purgatory who did not go to Hell.
Paul would of went to Purgatory first before he went to Heaven, there is noting wrong with paying for your Sins, (have you ever prayed ? ) one pays not to be led into Sin in fact so I see no problem or fear in such at all, unless one is a bludger who only seeks for ones self, plenty of them around mind you that I know of, they want everything to come to them for there own worldly convenience. they will state childish rubbish that such a one is working for there way into Heaven, but they have no idea that it's not they who do the work, it's Christ in them that does the work truly, but bludgers have a phobia of anything associated with work to understand the reality of the situation at hand.
Now if one comes knocking on my door in need ? now I myself may not want to deal with such, but I am compelled to if I can help them out. I am a servant of Jesus Christ I serve him as I serve them. I do not hand them a serpent and tell them on your way.
