The Bible Blueprint for Purgatory

Karlo Broussard • 1/3/2020

Questions Covered:

13:30 – Is there any possible way to completely avoid purgatory after death and go straight to heaven?
19:18 - I know that we should pray for the souls that are in purgatory. Can we do this for the souls in hell so that they can go to purgatory, then heaven?
23:13 - Where is purgatory?
28:40 - How does a prayer affect someone in purgatory?
35:07 - Is purgatory a metaphysical place or a process?
42:38 - How can I explain to my Protestant family why we believe in purgatory? I want a short and concise way to explain it.
47:22 - Is purgatory guaranteed? I heard recently that it is not.
52:15 - I am Protestant and I do not believe in purgatory. I have a friend who does deliverance ministry and he doesn’t believe in purgatory, but he has experienced people caught between heaven and hell. I do think there is something there.
