#12183 If Jesus Paid for Our Sins, Why Do Catholics Believe in Purgatory? - Karlo Broussard

6 days ago

—

If Christ’s death paid the full price for our sins, why do Catholics still teach purgatory? In this episode, we break down common objections using Scripture and tradition—explaining why purgatory isn’t a rejection of Christ’s sacrifice, but a deepening of its transformative power. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 05:42 – Where is “purgatory” in the Bible? 12:50 – Catholics appeal to 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 for purgatory. But Paul doesn’t say the person is tested by fire. Rather, he teaches “works” are tested by fire. 16:52 – Catholics appeal to Jesus’ teaching about the unforgivable sin not being forgiven in this age or in the age to come in Matthew 12:32. But all Jesus meant by this is that the unpardonable sin is never forgiven, as Mark’s version makes clear in 3:29. 22:10 – Does the doctrine of purgatory contradict the Bible’s teaching on the immediacy of heaven after death (“to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord”)? 29:30 – Didn’t Jesus tell the thief on the cross, “Today you will be with me in paradise”? Doesn’t that disprove purgatory? 35:40 – Doesn’t the Bible teach that there are only two eternal destinies: heaven or hell? 39:55 – Didn’t Jesus’ death on the cross fully pay for all our sins? Why would additional purification be needed? 48:34 – Isn’t the idea of purgatory a denial of justification by faith alone? 49:55 – Why would a loving God punish believers after death if they’re already saved?…
