What!?
I thought purgatory truly revived from greedy popes trying to sell indulgences to make money. Augustine never pushed the idea!
The concept is anti-Christ in that it negates Christ’s sufferings as redemptive and instills doubts about the cross of that Christ atoning believers . and of the resurrection of Christ that should cause men to raise to everlasting life.
Dare to read a little of Luther on Galatians to understand why priest-craft and purgatory seriously belittle the cross and resurrection of Christ.
