@Butch30586594 @Brother_Andre I did not say it proved purgatory (read the article for that). You're wrong in asserting that secondary agency in and under Christ detracts from Christ's sacrifice. It's one of the core heresies of Protestantism. You disagree with Saint Paul.

@SBC_Catholic @Brother_Andre That passage has nothing to do with a purgatory. Zero! "Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church. " See nothing to do with a made up purgatory

@Butch30586594 @Brother_Andre Wrong. Read Colossians 1:24.

@Brother_Andre @SBC_Catholic By believing in a purgatory means you dont believe Jesus’s sacrifice was enough. Read Hebrews 9:14-15
