There's a detailed explanation in the film beetlejuice
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

You're on the right track. It is actually something invented by the RCC to draw in protestant shits who knew they were in some deep eternal trouble, thereby siphoning off tithes from your local protestant church. Your minister is probably hecka mad about this.

Purgatory is probably to try to make the idea of hell a bit more palatable, since instead of scaring people into converting, you might scare people away from christianity. Hard to convince people that your god is a good guy when he plans to throw the majority of the population into a lake of fire for not believing in him.
Not quite right, the Bible speaks of a penalty for an unborn baby's death, death for the one who caused it. We've been through this so many times on this forum how did you manage to miss it.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Quote:4 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
King James Version (KJV)
Hosea
What about when your murderous god says its okay, G-C?

But god is above all morals because he's the source of all morals - especially the evil ones...
