Purgatory Is Based On A Real Place In The Bible — Part 3 of 7

2 min readMar 25, 2024

What is Purgatory? Well, it is a place in the afterlife where people are believed to go while they wait for people to pray them into heaven. Think of it like a transportation center. An airport, train station, bus stop, et cetera. Basically, purgatory is thought to be a place where you’re waiting to see if you qualify to get into heaven. If you don’t then you’re sent to hell.

Sound ridiculous? Believe it or not, the idea of purgatory is based on a real place and is in the Bible. However, the term purgatory isn’t in the Bible and the idea of purgatory we have today is not biblically true.
