Just because you say Maccabees is not part of the Bible does not make it so, regardless of what past threads have covered. It is part of the Bible, maybe you don’t “recognize” Maccabees to justify your own non-belief in the concept of purgatory.

What the Bible does teach is repentance, Christ's sacrifice and God's forgiveness removes sin not being “purged” somewhere.
Therefore Maccabees is false, therefore not part of the Bible.
The doctrine of purgatory is invention of those whose didn't and won't believe what the Bible teaches.

And you did say there was no liberation from hell. Changed your mind on that or have you forgotten?
