Purgatory

Purgatory

In the view of the fact, after the death (not on the day later) everyone would be judged individually. Where there are three possibilities of the court which is Heaven, Purgatory (Durango) and Hell. Because those who consider themselves less well for heaven, and also do not want to go to hell, it Purgatory is seen as the "normal". But purgatory was not a door, nor the possibility of a third possibility in addition to heaven and hell.

BASIC for this belief is:

The Gospel of Luke 16:22: which depicted the rich man shouted to Abraham for help; This story was a parable that did not really happen, but still reflects the belief of Luke that before the end of time Abraham was "glorious heaven and the rich man who died sdah could shout for help"

Thus also the Apostle Paul's letters to the church in Corinth and Philippi 2 Corinthians 5: 8 and Philippians 1:23 "

where Paul clearly expressed a desire to die soon, namely separated from the mortal body to unite with Jesus Christ in happiness, but for the sake of his people, Paul preferred to remain alive in the world in order to build his people. Paul's confidence reflects the faith that before the resurrection at the end of time, a dead person can be with Christ in heaven. In other words, the bodily resurrection at the end of time, the soul of people have already been tried and can be noble with Christ.

After the end times there will be kebagnkitan bodies, souls of the dead would diersatukan back to the body, to be tried together with all mankind. Either already on trial in person or not, will be tried together (public court). But the results of a personal trial that has occurred before the end of time remains valid and only confirmed in the general court at the end of time.

In the official teaching of the Church also called "fire", only "purification" (Purgatory) alone, is adalanya last stage in the refining process on the way to God. Presumably the refining process was not yet completed at the time of death. then death itself can be pengallaman refining it.

At death man sees himself in the development of real state. Especially since the death of that means submission to God, then the purification experienced as painful mismatch. What is commonly called a "trial", experienced as torture and purification. Now if that is what is meant by "Purgatory" that occurs at the moment of death itself.

Similarly, prayers for the souls in purgatory is a prayer for those who at the time of death is not really ready to face God. Where people died into communion of faith (It has been christened, keiinginan baptism, baptism of blood), which is called the Church. It is only logical "communion of saints" also lived in prayer for our brothers, who are still on the way to God.

Purgatory is not "" hell while "(with a fire that is not so hot). Purgatory is the deepest experience behwa someone" put to shame because of all the ungodly acts committed "before God.
