Purgatory ___________________________________________________________
"Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come." -Jesus (Mat 12:32)___________________________________________________________
And making a gathering, he sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection,(For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,)
And because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them.
It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins. (2 Maccabees 12:43-46)
Maccabees is apocryphal, not scripture (at least not in the Protestant Bible) and is not considered divinely inspired. Adding anything to what we do is still telling Christ that his sacrifice was insufficient. Heresy. May as well join the LDS church cause they do the same thing.
