I kinda sorta believe in it.

I think that our souls are less scared than we are.
- Piccolo the Great:
But as humans, we just can't be perfect. We are not perfect beings.
- Umbrella Pwnage:
- There is a story in the bible explaining the perfect thing.
It's about this party. A rich person is hosting it and all the people invited are wealthy and well dressed. A homeless, poor old man comes in and sees the host (God) he is speechless in front of him, due to his wealth.
So if we were like the old man and not perfect we would be speechless in front of God and his host.
Otherwise purgatory would just be a place where you are like, "Hm... I don't think I'm ready to go up heaven yet. Nah on second thought I am.'
That's what I think at least.
We can only be as what God wants us to be, you know? We can be the best that we can be.
I don't think that anyone could possibly be wholly prepared for meeting God. I can't even fathom how spectacularly scary that will be.
And I don't think that we get to decide when we're ready. That's God's call, I would believe. Since He makes the final Judgment and all.
We only get one shot. If we screw up or leave salvation for another day, it may not be there for us. We never know when God is coming back, therefore, if we screw up our one shot, we're not gonna make it. Yes, He does love us, that's why He gives us so many chances/opportunities here on earth.
- Cobra Starship:
- I think it exists. Heres a few thing I learned from my CL teacher the other day:
One, since God loves us, he gave us purgatory as a one last shot for redemption. Purgatory is mainly a place where in you can be sorry for your sins, therefore making you clean so you may enter Heaven.
Two, putgatory is only for the people who have truly been nice here on earth. Or maybe also the ones who have been not so nice, but are truly and deeply sorry for their sins.
Three, you don't wait there until Judgement Day. You stay there until you are fully sorry for the wrong that you have committed whilst still existing on Earth.
Correct me if im wrong at any point :)
