WELCOME TO SESSION EIGHT

Purgatory is for Real
In this talk, I dispel the common misconceptions that surround the doctrine of purgatory among Catholics and Protestants alike. I also give the biblical texts necessary for Catholics to respond to the Protestant question, “Where is that in the Bible?”
