Life After Death: Heaven, Hell, & Purgatory

Audio only:

Questions Covered:

  • 12:46 - In Purgatory, are human memories saved in the soul or in the body? 
  • 19:16 - I’m Protestant and it seems to me that scripture indicates that upon death one immediately either goes to Heaven or Hell. Is that not the Catholic view? 
  • 30:32 - How did people come up with the idea of Universalism when it seems clear in scripture that people will be lost? 
  • 39:52 - I want to pray for people in purgatory, but there’s so many people I know who have died, some from long ago. How do I know who I should be praying for, or if that person is even still in purgatory?  
  • 43:53 - My Protestant friend thinks purgatory is very legalistic or transactional, in that mortal sins send you to hell but venial sins only to purgatory. How can I answer him?
