- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. When we look at the Roman Catholic view of end times, where will people spend eternity?
- 00:20
- Well, we see heaven. Well, everyone believes that there's a heaven. They also believe in a hell.
- 00:26
- Not everyone believes in that, but they do. But then they have a third place where people can go.
- 00:31
- It is a place called purgatory. Purgatory is a place in the Roman Catholic view where people go to work off their sins that they committed in this life.
- 00:42
- It is a place for the dead that will be a place of temporary punishment.
- 00:49
- And after purgatory, some will be there for a very long time. Even the
- 00:54
- Catholic Pope must go to purgatory for at least 10 days and work off his sin.
- 01:01
- When all of the work is done, then they can go to heaven.
- 01:07
- I guess they just stay in purgatory or end up going to hell if they can't work it off.
- 01:14
- But the reality is, which the Bible says, is that the wages of sin is death.
- 01:20
- And that death is spoken of as an eternal death. That is the second death, where hell is cast into that second death.
- 01:29
- So what you end up seeing is that the Bible says that death will last eternity. They say, just a temporary place and then you can maybe go to a better place.
- 01:38
- Now the reality is, purgatory proves that the Roman Catholic Church believes in a works -based salvation.
