#53 Answering Protestant Objections to Purgatory - Joe Heschmeyer

Shameless Popery

NOTE

Care for the Spiritually Suffering

It is essential to understand the existence of purgatory to fulfill our moral duty to support those who are spiritually suffering, including the Holy Souls in purgatory. The reference to 2nd Maccabees 12 underscores the historical respect for this text, which connects to both Jewish traditions and Jesus' celebration of Hanukkah. The historicity of the Maccabean revolt adds to the legitimacy of the text, challenging claims of it being radical. Additionally, the citation of 2nd Maccabees in Hebrews 11 suggests its relevance in discussions about spiritual matters, advocating for a recognition of non-canonical texts that have had significant cultural and theological impact.
