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?
No mind changing here, you'll need to read my reply again to clarify my point.
Apparently we'll have to agree to dis-agree on this subject.
