Salvation made a statement about Purgatory. I simply asked for the reference so that I could read it and understand more about his claim, as is typical in Bible discussions. I even said please.

Here's what Scripture says:

1) All men are unclean
2) Nothing unclean can enter into heaven
3) Me can enter into heaven

Use the same deductive reasoning used to get the Trinity out of Scripture and Purgatory becomes quite obvious - it is the cleansing of a soul, by the grace of God, as they enter into union with God the Father in heaven.

I could point out Scripture from 2 Maccabees but Martin Luther, in his infinite wisdom and divine authority, thought it would be best to take that out of the Bible, so you are unlikely to find it in your KJV.

I have nothing more to say to you. As you are obviously antagonistic to Biblical discussions.

I was trying to argue by means of an analogy. Since the concept escapes you, I'm not sure how productive any discussion will be.

Sorry, that "me" in point (3) ought to read "men." My apologies.
